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.

9.5/10. The second best Ernest movie behind Ernest Goes To School. If anyone could take a character and make him/her prime time material it's Jim Varney. He's a master of comedy with his timing, mannerisms, etc., as Ernest P. Worrell being absolute perfection. A great watch for anyone who likes Jim Varney's work mainly his Ernest character.
Ernest P. Worrell: I've never been inside a restaurant that doesn't have a drive-thru window before.
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.
