Directed by John Cherry
This comedy is a showcase for Jim Varney (of "Hey Vern! It's your old buddy Ernest!" fame) who plays several different roles, including Laughin' Jack, Dr. Otto, Guy Dandy, and others. Dr. Otto is a crazed and evil scientist intent on becoming a world dictator. One of his plans is to send the global economy into oblivion and towards that goal, he invents an appearance-altering device that allows him to assume any guise he chooses. His only nemesis is an inept anti-hero who looks like he could hardly tie his shoes, let alone outmaneuver anyone who can think and walk at the same time. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

"I saw Ernest Goes to Jail in the theatre, and I distinctly recall me and my best friend thinking it was the greatest achievement in the history of cinema. I've matured a bit, I like to think, but I still think Jim Varney was a very underrated comic talent. His television show was stupid and silly but also fairly subversive and misleading in it's intelligence. Which is a weird thing to say, I know. " [More]
