He would probably make a great host of a TV Show where he shows us how guns work like "Lock 'n Load With R. Lee Ermey", hell Jim would make a better host than R. Lee Ermey. He's such a curious man.
This world probably would have been a better place if he hadn't died. I was one of the last funny men. Reubens has lost his Mojo since the masturbation scandel. I read somewhere in a clinic magazine where he died of lung cancer at the age of 50.
That's a British STEN machine gun (.45) made out of machine stamped parts, used by British paratroopers and secretly dropped into France for the French Underground to use to fight the Nazis. Not very accurate, good for only 50 yards or less, "spray and pray".
@RacerXGTO Negative, it is Sten MK2 9mm submachine gun and it is accurate as any other submachine gun. However, the Japanese Yakuza are known to use it in their illegal operations years after World War II. It doesn't fire .45 rounds, which was widely used by the US while the British uses 9mm rounds.
I wished he really hadn't known what a cigarette was. Come to think of it, I wished I didn't know what one was either. 6 years clean! Do not smoke, people!
@WarriorOfSeaHD I don't know. My dad was stationed in the Pacific theatre during WWII. He said it wasn't all bad times. But the Japs weren't nearly as stupid as they were portrayed on shows like McHale's Navy. And I'm sure the Germans were a lot brighter than Klink and Schultz. If the Japanese and the Germans had been that stupid, France and Mexico could have taken them. I know one thing though. I wouldn't have wanted Ernest anywhere around me with a loaded weapon.....LOL.
I miss Jim he was so funny, and a talented actor I did not know he performed in shakespeare plays. rest in peace Jim varney the earth's population is crying due to your passing.
does anyone know where i can watch the E True Hollywood story on him.... I cant find it anywhere online and I cant seem to ever catch it on tv or find out when it comes on again.
@jjj5541 Yeah, me too---so sad---and I have some good and bad memories associated with the 80's------wish we were back then ya know......seemed like better times back then and things in the world weren't so screwed up as nowadays
it's one of the earlier movie props. fired just what you see, with no recoil, that's all Varney. What a guy! I don't believe he ever once bemoaned being typecast. He loved what he did and you could tell.
jim varney aka ernst p worrell was one of the biggest parts of my childhood when things were bad his movies and commercials always made me laugh and i still watch his movies to this day rip jim varney you will be forever missed
I use to watch Ernest all the time. Almost 3 times a week every week. Ernest Scared Stupid was cool, and Ernest goes to School, and Ernest saves Christmas, I seen Ernest goes to Camp wat too many times, but it's good too. I found some old tapes of it, and I watch them here and there. Man... way too many good memories.
It's a Sten gun. The British made them during WWII as a cheap 9MM submachine gun. They were often supplied to French Resistance forces because they were cheap and easy to produce as well as the fact that they used the same ammunition as the German MP 40.
He did a lot of promos for Channel 7 (WDBJ) in Roanoke VA...I rememeber it well! This was circa '83...maybe '84 at the latest...I remember it was a big thing to have him doing the promos and I think he even did local live appearances....they were selling Ernest masks by the ton and I bought about 12 of 'em. Got a lot of pics of me wearing those dumb masks everywhere I went! Fun times!
I grew up in Baton Rouge where he did a number of local commercials too. Years later I moved to Roanoke. I loved Varney's character as a kid. Still do actually.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you can notice the direction of smoke is wrong and there are no bullet holes..sry for bursting ur bubble but im a director critic..its my job..but ernest is god..well jim varney anyways
Actually, the smoke is in the right direction, since his first shot was directed towards the ceiling. Secondly, there would be no bullet holes since his line of fire extends outside of the camera frame. I agree

Excellent Classic video , You can see in the chamber that the gun is loaded and cocked(with blanks of course)...looks prety real , i wonder how the prop dept made all that dryway fly....great video and thanks for posting it
Trust me, NO ya don't!!! Went huntin' with one of 'em, and THIS guy's a Gunner's Mate in the USNR, so you'd THINK he'd know a few, I dunno, SAFETY RULES?!! NOT He had a 12-ga slung over his shoulder, loaded of course, safety off, swingin' back & forth at the brush in front of him, and FORGOT the guy BEHIND him....ME!!!
