      The opening has metal objects chasing after Ernest. This is similar to the beginning of Ernest Goes to Jail (1990) released three years before.
    • Goofs
      When Abner is jumping to Goliath from the pipe, as Ernest approaches, you can see the cannon's "driver" through the barrel.
    • Quotes

      Abner: Ernest, are you dead?

      Ernest: I guess I would be if I weren't just *that* close to being an actual cartoon.

    • Crazy credits
      Right before the closing credits play, a short trailer for Ernest Goes to School (1994) (V) plays.
    • Alternate versions
      The version available for streaming on Amazon Prime includes the short ''Mr. Bill Goes to Washington'' before the film.

    Excellent "Ernest" film.

    "Ernest Rides Again" is yet another great installment of the "Ernest" movie franchise. With this film, the plot is much more solid, and more serious than the plots of past "Ernest" films, but that doesn't mean it's not a funny movie. The movie is funny, and enjoyable. Jim Varney once again does a great job as lovable knuckle head Ernest P. Worrell, and Ernest's sidekick Abner is OK. The movie overall is excellent, so if you're a die-hard "Ernest" fan, and haven't seen this installment yet, then check this out, and be impressed.
