Did You Know?

Edit

Trivia	The lake Herbie drives through is the same lake Herbie skipped on top of in The Love Bug (1969). See more »
Goofs	During the final race, we see Herbie from the perspective of Bruno von Stickle's side mirror, but the 53 on the hood and the license plate read the right way instead of reversed, so it's obviously an optical. See more »
Movie Connections	Featured in Making a 'Splash' (2002). See more »
Quotes	Jim Douglas: [about Herbie] He's out of his mind. Wheely Applegate: He's out of his mind, all right. Over that luscious little Lancia. See more »
