Trivia
The opening has metal objects chasing after Ernest. This is similar to the beginning of Ernest Goes to Jail (1990) released three years before.

Goofs
When Abner is jumping to Goliath from the pipe, as Ernest approaches, you can see the cannon's "driver" through the barrel.

Quotes
Abner: Ernest, are you dead?
Ernest: I guess I would be if I weren't just *that* close to being an actual cartoon.

Crazy credits
Right before the closing credits play, a short trailer for Ernest Goes to School (1994) (V) plays.

Alternate versions
The version available for streaming on platforms, such as Amazon Prime, Tubi, Youtube, Pluto and Roku, includes the short ''Mr. Bill Goes to Washington'' that was also shown before the film in theaters and on VHS.

One Of Varney's Best In ''Ernest' Series

This was probably one of the better "Ernest" movies in that it moves fast which means it's pretty entertaining without being too stupid, as some of Jim Varney movies were. However, even this you can except a lot of "stupid" but some of that is part of Varney's charm as the lovable "Ernest P. Worrell," a man he made famous first with TV commercials and then with a handful of inane-but- Innocent comedies.

This 100-minute film would have much better chopped to 80 or 85 because there are some legitimate laugh-out-loud scenes. Varney does a lot of impressions, some of which are very good. The two nerdy salesmen in here are also funny. As with all the "Ernest" films, there is nothing really offensive in here. Today, this could almost be rated "G."
