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
Give it up John Cherry!
After watching Ernest Goes to Africa, I never felt another Ernest movie would come out. What a visceral surprise to see this movie on the video shelves. Moronic and only occasionally funny, I was surprised they didn't do an Ernest in Space or something like that. Jim Varney should have stepped in and said something before this movie was made. I mean, if he was that hard up for money, why couldn't he ask the loyal Ernest fans of the world to help him. A sad pitiful chapter in the life of Ernest P. Worrel.
