Artistic License – Gun Safety | |
| Ernest Goes to Jail / int_10134c97 | comment |
Artistic License – Gun Safety/Reckless Gun Usage: When Chuck and Bobby show off the new security system, they demonstrate it by shooting at the bulletproof glass, with one of the bank managers standing behind it. Not to mention, in that same scene, Bobby's pistol is clearly a revolver, and yet he manages to fire at least ten rounds in rapid succession without reloading. | |

| Ernest Goes to Jail / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Oscar Pendlesmythe, an obnoxious, rude and arrogant bank manager. It makes it a bit satisfying when Nash, as Ernest, destroys his prized golf trophy. | |

Accidental Misnaming | |
| Ernest Goes to Jail / int_af616e40 | comment |
Accidental Misnaming: Ernest just can't seem to get his boss' name (Mr. Pendlesmythe) right, referring to him as "Mr. Poodle-Smurf" at one point. | |
