Ernest Goes to Camp / Ernest Scared Stupid / Ernest Goes to Jail (Triple Feature)

This was well worth the money I paid for, three movies in one entire set! I've always watched the Ernest movies when I was younger and found them quite hilarious, with the exception of Ernest In the Army, which is actually pretty stupid and doesn't make sense to the average Army veteran. But these top three movies are excellent and actually have a pretty good plot to all of them, which are explained in the short version way. "Ernest Goes to Camp"--Ernest P. Worrell is a clumsy groundskeeper at a summer camp who dreams about one day becoming a counselor at Camp Kikakee, which is an Indian tribal site that teaches the way of the Indian to the local youth. He gets his chance with the "Second Chance" boys, several city youth from a juvenile detention center who regard Ernest as nothing but a loser, even though Ernest is actually doing his best to keep them from being thrown out. But a danger to the camp's future arises when some local miners are trying to get the camp due to the valuable contents being located on the exact soil of the camp, and Ernest is the camp's last hope to saving the day! Hilarious part: Ernest gets injured at least half a dozen times in this movie, in which case the camp boss walks over to observe what happened and then remarks casually, "At least no one got hurt." Classic! "Ernest Scared Stupid"--Worrell is back as another average loser in a loser job, which only the kids seem to like in that local town, which has a local legend from when some inhuman monster was imprisoned in a tree by the townfolk over a hundred years back. You notice the local antisocial witch-like woman who doesn't like people being on her property and how Ernest wants to build a treehouse on GUESS WHAT???--the tree which still holds the local monster! The monster soon gets free on Halloween night and sets out to hatch the eggs of more monsters and to turn kids into wooden, mini statues. The monster soon goes on the rampage and nothing can stop him, except...perhaps dairy substances! Guess that the monster is lactose intolerant! Hee hee. Hilarious part: The main monster cannot be defeated by the dairy products, and is only destroyed when Ernest dances with him and plucks a sloppy kiss on the monster's face. Ewwwwwwww-www! But that scene is guaranteed to have everyone laughing. "Ernest Goes to Jail"--Worrell is the regular clumsy oaf who is now in charge of being the night janitor at a bank, hoping to be a bank teller someday. His antics only get him into further trouble, but he looks on the bright side to being called up to jury duty at the local jailhouse. Turns out, there is an inmate on Death Row who looks just like Ernest, and manages to make the switch when the jury comes by for a tour. So now the bad inmate is on the loose, hoping to rob the bank that Ernest works at, and Ernest is now on death row, hoping to pass himself off as the tough guy that his character is. But his execution date is coming fast and he must find a way to escape and set things right. Hilarious part: When Ernest is switched places with the bad guy inmate, he goes about life as usual, and it takes him several hours before he finally realizes that he is in fact...IN JAIL!!! Why? Because of his incoherent belief that the jury members also share lunch with the inmates in the mess hall, and it takes a door of metal bars to be slammed in his face before the realization hits him. Don't we all know a few people as dumb as him? LOL.

Jim Varney is the funniest! You will laugh non stop with these classics! I highly recommend!

Good fun for the whole family! You know what I mean Vern.....

I have to admit, for me at least, Ernest P. Worrell was an acquired taste. It took awhile for the charm of the character to finally get through to me. Probably the first Ernest appearance to really tip the scales for me was in Ernest Saves Christmas (not included in this triple pack, but readily available on a single disc DVD) which I saw in the theater, many years ago. I'm a sucker for Christmas movies anyway, and ESC just hit all the right buttons for me. Over the years, the genius that was Jim Varney slowly grew on me, catching the occasional Ernest movie that would turn up on cable TV. I often entertained the notion of collecting the Ernest films on DVD, as they had come to be true guilty pleasures for me. But other than the aforementioned Ernest Saves Christmas, I somehow never got around to it. Then along comes this Mill Creek Entertainment Ernest triple feature for well under ten dollars. What a deal! The perfect way to kick-start my Ernest DVD collection. I'm no expert, but so far as I can tell, the image quality of these DVDs is excellent. Not much in the way of extras, but for the money, how can you go wrong? Over time, Mill Creek has more or less built their name by releasing any number of public domain films in multi-pack DVD collections of wildly varying quality. But the one constant has always been a great value for your hard-earned dollar. Now with the Ernest movies, the Ernest TV series (which I have yet to purchase, but probably will), and several other recent top-quality DVD releases, Mill Creek has greatly enhanced its reputation, at least in my opinion. Again, thank you, Mill Creek Entertaiment. And THANK YOU, Jim Varney, may you rest in peace... So, if you are a fan of Jim Varney/Ernest, this value simply cannot be beat. Three TOP Ernest films in one low-priced package. True bang for your buck. Now go over and check out the terrific value on Mill Creek's Hey Vern, It's Ernest! TV series. I know I will!

Exactly as ordered. Thank you.

For the most part, this is a great way to own three of the best Ernest movies. The picture and sound quality of Ernest Scared Stupid and Ernest Goes to Jail are pretty good for standard definition DVD. Image on these features are crisp and clear with little print damage. Unfortunately, Ernest Goes to Camp is a disappointment; there's a lot of interlacing issues, lots of combs in the image and the picture looks fuzzy. That's the only thing stopping me from giving this release the full five stars. In short, it's a great way to own Ernest Scared Stupid and Ernest Goes to Jail, but you'd probably want to seek out the single-disc copy of Ernest Goes to Camp.

The movies work so I am a happy customer.

Arrived in good shape. Goes to Camp and Goes to Jail had no issues playing in any of my drives. Scared Stupid would not play in my 4k blu ray drive. It did however play fine in my PS3 and on my old standard dvd player. Video and audio Quality is generally good and better than some of the other dvds I have in my collection. If you are here you probably already know how awesome these movies are and nothing has changed there. Although some extras would have been neat.

So happy to get this great set of movies. They are region 1 as stated. These are not available in the UK so very glad I've found a place to buy them without any import fee's.

Was fantastic. Bought for the kids so they could enjoy them like I did when I was their age. Was a big hit with the whole family. Good clean humour.

Love Ernest watched​ his films over 30 year's ago still funny as ever thank you ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

I absolutely love Ernest! I watched him as a kid and I wanted Ernest scared stupid on DVD. It was even better then what I remembered. Great buy!

I HAVENT WATCHED YET BUT EVERYTHING WAS VERY GOOD WOULD RECOMEND THIS LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING THIS D.V.D AS JIM VARNEY IS VERY FUNNY
