It bothered me when Ernest got beat up by that constructer guy. Who played that big tough guy?

When my brother and I were younger, and we saw that for the first time, it was on the Disney channel, and we were both freaked out, because we had never seen blood in an Ernest movie before, and we were asking our dad 'that's not real is it?' because we knew some things in movies were just made up, but others were real, and that one we couldn't tell.

Was this guy every a wrestler? He looks a lot like Hercules Hernandez in WWF, but I know it's not him. Did this guy do any wrestling?

Not wrestler, NFL player, though he did box 8 rounds with Muhammad Ali.

You know what part I found even more disturbing than the fight between Ernest and the foreman (which I found rather comic), the forced eviction scene, with the foreman going into the house at the site scheduled to be cleared, using physical force against the family man, yelling at the top of his lungs for the rest of them to evacuate, and worst of all, never getting criminally charged with assault or anything as a result! That's just insane, if you ask me. But, than again, it's just a movie, and I guess in movie land, anything is possible.

when I was younger I thought the part where bronk destroys the cooks' liver loaf lunch arranger was disturbing now it's kinda funny.

The guy who played Lyle from Ernest goes to Jail, Tex Cobb, was a boxer in real life. If he ever fought Lyle Alzodo, that would have been a good fight right ther

Ernest Goes to Camp might have been the darkest film. In a nutshell it's another goofy 80's summer camp movie, but there were some questionable moments from time to time. The fight scene with the construction worker never sat well, mainly because of the dark ominous music played after every punch. At that point it didn't feel like a comedy anymore. Also there's a moment where Ernest is getting a shot early in the film and reacts as if he's in a Nazi concentration camp, by saying, "I did it! I took the Lindbergh baby! I am Josef Mengele!" I just thought it was a tad over the top for a family movie. Still, Ernest Goes to Camp is an extremely enjoyable summer comedy.
