we dont even get a reaction shot of ernest when he is saying "blow 'em up". Thelma just knew we dont need a reaction of that damn moron to know that he just goes with it. this movie is just something else
I mean it’s been stated multiple times Ernest isn’t exactly that smart, and to a heavy extent he was being manipulated by his uncle. There’s multiple times he could’ve done something but again, he’s not all there.
