    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The lake Herbie drives through is the same lake Herbie skipped on top of in The Love Bug (1968).
    • Goofs
      At the end of the The Love Bug (1968), Jim Douglas married Carole Bennett; however, in this film, Douglas is apparently single, given his romantic interest in Dianne Darcy. This issue is never addressed in the film, and no mention of Carol or Douglas being married is ever made.
    • Quotes

      [In the final stage of the race, Bruno Von Stickle won't let Herbie pass him]

      Wheely Applegate: Dirty road hog! Why doesn't he learn how to drive?

      Jim Douglas: He knows how to drive, that's the trouble!

      [They go round a pair of sharp curves, and Von Stickle does a better job of taking them than Herbie]

      Wheely Applegate: Yeah, I see what you mean.

    10/10
    great fun
    Although the movie is quite old, the special effects are obvious and the cgi non-existent, this is one of the best family-movies ever. The story is simple, two thieves have hidden a diamond in a race-car which is now competing in the Trans-France Race, but it isn't your usual VW. And who is this mysterious Mister X?

    The scenes where Herbie and the Lancia meet are unforgettable, the two thieves are pretty much the comic relief, the love interest Diane has some pretty sharp edges, and the racing against the German and the French guy adds another point of tension to it.

    The low rate for this movie surprised me. I thought it was a very good movie, with action, nice characters, humour, and some good fun. 8/10
