Continuity mistake: When Ernest pulls the bank banner off the wall and starts flying around, there's shots of that same wall with the banner back up and the two flags are gone.
Ernest Goes To Jail (1990)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: John R. Cherry III
Starring: Jim Varney, Gailard Sartain, Bill Byrge, Barbara Tyson
Revealing mistake: After Bobby activates the clear barrier, he shoots it to show it's bullet proof. First, he shoots eleven times out of a six-shot pistol. Second, the cylinder never moves. Third, after the shots, you can see there were no rounds in the chambers to start with.
Ernest P. Worrell: Did you hear the one about the three legged dog that walked into a bar and said, "I'm lookin' for the guy that shot my paw."
Trivia: In the jail cell when Ernest is going on about death you see the shadow of what looks to be a grim reaper on the wall.
