Ernest Goes To Jail - Jim Varney's Most Electrifying Performance - Rental Reviews 

Jim Varney was a heavy smoker (a pack a day or more), but never allowed himself to be filmed or photographed smoking because of how popular he was with kids. He was a class act and brought a lot of joy to people's lives.

what? i never thought the talking over you guys was bad. bring it back to 4 people!!

i liked it better when there was 4 of you guys in the video, it was a more realistic conversation, in real life people butt in and talk over each other but all the conversations were still really enjoyable to watch, it seemed like a bunch of friends sitting around discussing movies, this seems more polished and professional but not as fun, please go back to 4 of you in the reviews. thanks

Ernest Rides Again was the last one released in theaters. In an interview, Jim Varney said that playing Ernest killed his acting career because nobody could see him playing another character besides Ernest. His portrayal of Jed Clampette in the Beverly hillbillies was also amazing. R.I.P. Mr. Varney.

I grew up in Ky. I met him when I was 9. At a random gas station. He went straight into character and hung with me for an hour. Class act

It’s been nineteen years since Jim Varney passed away at the age of fifty. Still missed amongst those of us who grew up watching his films.

You guys forgot that he was Slinkydog from Toy Story 1 & 2!

To answer whether Ernest really died at the end or not, there's actually a deleted epilogue after the bomb scene, which shows Ernest working behind a computer at his desk in the bank. The security guards are demonstrating a new computer security system to the bank manager, and right after Bobby "arms the computer", Ernest gets electrocuted at the mere press of a key. For a second he thinks he's cured of magnetism until some file cabinets start chasing him again, then the credits roll. This is the version I taped off network TV and watched over and over again long ago, so watching it now without that scene gives me a major case of Mandela effect. There are many other deleted scenes that can be found on YT, including Ernest (as Nash) getting a conjugal visit!

Jim Varney lived on Kent Island. Used to see him in Kmart all the time. He was quick to strike up a conversation all the time. Good man. Funny as hell

RIP Jim Varney. These movies were something else.

R.I.P. Jim varney you still are missed. "Know what I mean vern".

Jim Varney had a big impact on how my sense of humor formed. I remember I would annoy the hell out of my mom by getting Ernest movies from Blockbuster every time we went.

Jim Varney was my idol growing up...Sure miss him! RIP

These guys can't even talk about this movie without cracking up. That's how you know you gotta see it.

Another reason I love Nerd over Critic. Nerd sees the Ernest movies for what they were, real life cartoons that aren't meant to be taking seriously but still have a good message behind Ernest being a stand up goofy guy.

Jim Varney was so important to my childhood. RIP Earnest

Seeing James being unable to stop laughing over remembering this movie is the most wholesome thing I have seen.

Anybody else think Jim Varney and Mike Rowe are long lost brothers?? The resemblence is uncanny for some reason, hell they even dress alike lol

RIP Jim Varney! Ernest Goes to Camp is one of my fav movies.
