They cut the DVD!


I used to have this on VHS, but sadly it died. When I bought the DVD I was horrified to find they'd cut two scenes. The first scene I didn't mind so much, it was when Nash's girl friend came and visited Ernest in Jail, but then they cut the very final scene of the movie.
(spoiler)
The DVD ends when Ernest falls out of the sky burnt to a crisp and says the famous lines, "I came, I saw, I got blowed up." The REAL ending was after that, when we see that Ernest finally got that clerk's job he wanted. While sitting at his new desk he's shocked by the computer and becomes magnetized again and the filing cabinets start chasing him. It was a much better ending.

I know I'm late to this thread, but the DVD print I've got does not include the clerk scene at the end, it stops after he says "I got blowed up...". It's the Fullscreen print with a runtime of 81 minutes.

The DVD is the theatrical print. The extra scenes were added for the t.v. airings to pad out the runtime. The original film ran at about 80 minutes theatrically.

Hello.
Sorry for my late reply.
I checked my DVD and it didn't have those 2 scenes.

I bought mine as a 3 in 1. One DVD has "Ernest goes to camp" + "Ernest goes to jail"
The Second DVD has "Ernest scared stupid".

We taped this off of HBO and I don't recall either of those scenes being it that version.
