Omg!! For years I’ve been telling my Daughter this incorrectly. “Real me are not intimidated by threats on the physical being”. I’m so happy I found the actual quote. That line actually inspired me to be myself growing up. Rip Big Playa!! 🙏🏾✌🏾
I miss old Ernest. I remember seeing all his movies as a kid. Just good clean silly humor. The man is definitely a comic legend. Ernest Goes to Jail and Ernest Goes to Camp were my favorites of his. Much respect for Mr. Varney, know what I mean?😉
Both Varney's bizarrely malleable face lending to his crazy skill with facial impressions, and his incredibly broad vocal range work seamlessly together to make him one of the funniest physical comedians ever! My personal fave of his long list of characters is the "Tired, Lonely Old Woman", by far. The way that neck brace he wears when playing her smooshes his lower face as he prattles on about how horrible her son was. 😂😂😂😂
It's funny that in his Stallone impression he's like "Yo, Murdock!" because the guy who plays Murdock in "Rambo:First Blood Part ii" (the late great Charles Napier) plays the prison warden in this movie.
This is a great lineup of the classic impressions too, I had to figure 'em out years later. I think he starts James Cagney, then does Walter Brennan, goes into his Stallone at maximum meatball. After that, he does a decent Humphrey Bogart, then I THINK he does a Dudley Moore? After that, it's basically Sergeant Glory, followed by god knows what, then he ends on 'ol Lloyd Worrell, the meanest old man who ever lived. how'boutcha?
