This movie finds Ernest as a ball retriever at a driving range with aspirations of driving army trucks like real army people. His buddy assures him that if he joins the reserves, he can party every weekend while driving the big green trucks. So Ernest joins up.

The border dispute goes rapidly out of control, and Ernest winds up on the front lines. The fate of the civilized world is in his hands

4.0 out of 5 stars aka "Stormin' Ernest" 30 April 2006
By bernie VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Ernest P. Worrell "got milk" (Jim Varney) is a skilled and innovative ball retriever at the local golf course. His one wish is to drive exotic military vehicles like the GMC Napa Sonoma 3000. The only way he can do this is to join the reserves.

Mean while on the other side of the world in Karifistan there is a legend of a great warrior who will free the oppressed people from the tyrant Tuti Tufuti.

Due to an unscrupulous UN Col. Pierre Gullet (David Müller) their paths may cross. And there is a quasi love interest with the reporter Cindy Swanson (Hayley Tyson.)

Although the story line may not have quite the stature of many of the other Ernest P. Worrell movies, Jim Varney is at his best.

.WHAT CAN I SAY .
America's Hero is Finally Back in Camp! ..Jim Varney pulls off another great performance as Ernest in what would be the last "Ernest" film, and one of Jim Varney's last projects He Died:February 10, 2000 (age 50) in Whitehouse, Tennessee, US he Was a heavy smoker and died of lung cancer
When he discovered he had lung cancer, he reportedly threw away his cigarettes and quit smoking cold turkey. Unfortunately, it was too late
As Known to fans as Ernest P. Worrell, his most famous character, who propelled him to the public eye.
He chose Nashville rather than New York or Los Angeles as a place to pursue his acting career and, with advertising executive John R. Cherry III, turned "Ernest P. Worrell" into a cash cow, making commercials for clients ranging from soft drinks to food stores and, eventually, Disney. Even though Ernest's catchphrase "KnowhutImean?" became a national craze almost immediately, Jim worked in TV and film for more than a decade before his famous alter-ego hit the big screen in Ernest Goes to Camp (1987).

.Known to fans as Ernest P. Worrell, his most famous character, who propelled him to the public eye. Ernest appeared in commercials "alongside" his off-camera friend Vern. Ernest would address the camera as if it were Vern.
Despite his persona as Ernest P. Worrell, he reportedly had a near genius I.Q. level. He was said to be occasionally exasperated with fans who met him and assumed he was exactly like the Worrell character he portrayed.

Between 1987 and 1990, Disney released four Ernest movies that generated a total of $100 million. Five more Ernest films were released independently, mainly for the video and television markets.

The character of Ernest was actually introduced in a commercial for Bowling Green, Kentucky's Beech Bend Raceway Park.
Studied Shakespeare at the Barter Theatre in Virginia and performed in a folk show during Opryland's first year of operation
he Was very good friends with Robin Williams.they met when he was 25 at one of Los Angeles's Comedy Store's original alumni.

When given the chance to have a lifelong dream fulfilled by such groups as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, several hundred terminally ill children have asked to meet Ernest. He never let them down.
his best Personal Quotes was?

(((Life's just a bus stop to somewhere infinitely better.)))

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost too real 31 July 2002
By Erika Mitchell - Published on Amazon.com

This movie finds Ernest as a ball retriever at a driving range with aspirations of driving army trucks like real army people. His buddy assures him that if he joins the reserves, he can party every weekend while driving the big green trucks. So Ernest joins up. But coincidentally, his unit suddenly gets called up and sent to the Persian Gulf as peace keepers monitoring a border dispute. The border dispute goes rapidly out of control, and Ernest winds up on the front lines. The fate of the civilized world is in his hands!

Given the theme, it's not surprising that this movie is a bit more violent than Ernest's standard kids' fare. Guns actually get fired (but not by Ernest) and people fall down. If you are familiar with the Middle East or the army, you will find lots to laugh at in this movie. However, the overall plot almost comes across as too real these days to be as preposterous as it was originally intended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ernest in Top Form 10 Sep 2001
By Sir Bowen - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
This movie is right up there with the best of the Ernest movies. Varney is in top form as Ernest, and there's a great mix of other characters, too. The humor is quite witty, with the usual mixture of silliness and sophistication.
