Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the final "Ernest" film, as well as Jim Varney's final on-screen appearance as the character of Ernest P. Worrell. Writer/director John R. Cherry III had planned for Varney to star in a non-Ernest comedy film. However, Varney had gotten so ill while shooting this movie that Cherry couldn't bring himself to make him work on the film. Varney died two years later, which motivated Cherry to retire.
- GoofsThe film's working title ''Stormin' Ernest'' is listed near the end of the closing credits instead of where ''Ernest in the Army'' would normally be.
- Quotes
Ernest P. Worrell: A real soldier wouldn't leave those people. And ironically, neither would I.

Featured review
A good "Ernest" film.
Wow!! I never thought they could pull off another good "Ernest" movie after that horrible "Ernest Goes To Africa", but they did. In this installment, Ernest P. Worrell is a nit wit recruit in the army who goes to the front lines, and of course like other "Ernest" movies a LOT of hilarious stuff happens in the process!!
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 a few years later. I was sad when he died.). I recommend this one to any die-hard "Ernest" fan.
