Ernest Rides Again | comment |
Ernest Rides Again is a 1993 comedy film written and directed by John R. Cherry III and starring Jim Varney, Ron James and Linda Kash. It opens with the song "There Once Was A Man Named Worrell". It is the sixth film to feature the character Ernest P. Worrell, and the last to be released theatrically.After fiddling around on a construction site one day with his metal detector (and accidentally causing the site to collapse, because it's Ernest), he finds a rare artifact in the dirt. He immediately takes it to his friend at the local university, Dr. Abner Melon, whose theory is that the crown jewels of England are fakes, and that the real crown jewels were hidden in a cannon ("Goliath") during the Revolutionary War. To Dr. Melon's surprise, Ernest's find supports his theory.Dr. Melon and Ernest set out to dig up some new evidence, and their search for Goliath turns into a big adventure that attracts other interested parties - power-hungry colleague Dr. Glencliff, Abner's chatty, self-centered wife Nan, members of British Intelligence, and, for some reason, two vacuum salesmen.The film is preceded by a Mr. Bill short, Mr. Bill Goes To Washington. | |

Butt-Monkey: Ernest, for one, as he is being chased down/attacked by power tools coming to life (just part of the sheer madness that is Ernest movies). He later gets his body trapped inside the cannon's barrel while searching for the crown jewels. Later, Dr. Glencliff and his goons kidnap him, and go through a series of trials to remove the crown from Ernest's head. Dr. Melon qualifies even more. He's just a timid, soft-spoken university professor who wanted to go on an archeological mission, and he gets stuck in the middle of a crazy adventure where he gets pummeled senseless, shot at by thugs, and worse, Ernest keeps doing that stupid "you got something on your shirt" trick! | |
