I love how after Thorndyke sees Tennessee and Herbie's back half passes him, he tries so hard not to laugh while getting very angry and blushing at the same time.
Yep. Tennessee should be Herbie's true owner not Jim even if Jim bought Herbie in the first place because he was the only one who knows Herbie is a living car and he know he listens everything so... This final part makes me happier because Herbie wanted to show Tennessee his true potential for being so loyal to him... Funny thing is Tennessee's face when Herbie's half was completely out and still running like "WTF!?" like what's happening was beyond his believing. Lol
That was probably a strategy, that Herbie though up himself. By splitting in two, he knew that one half of him would win. I believe it was Thorndike and his sidekick that put him back together at the end.
I loved it how Herbie was always trying to help in the best ways possible even to an extent of keep his friend safe in the back even while it's detached
This is the first movie I remember seeing in a theater. I still remember laughing uproariously when the back of the car passed the front. It was the most hilarious thing I'd seen in my young life up to that point.
2:35 I always laugh when I see the look on Tennessee’s face 😂😂😂😂and I love how he slowly turns his head when he realizes that he’s pulling ahead of Jim and Carol 😂😂😂
@abloogywoogywoo I think the reason Herbie split himself in two so he could get a better chance at winning the race having half in half depending if whether the half that had Jim and Carol came in first or the half that had Tennessee came in first would show that Herbie won the race.
Dallas Salmon it was done primarily back in the day when cars actually used glass in the headlight assembly. In case of a stone or a collision the tape keeps the glass in place so it doesn’t go all over the place and cause an accident. Now a day’s headlight don’t use glass as plastic is light and can be shaped into a much more aerodynamic shape compared to glass headlights back in the day.
My mum was 7 years old when this movie came out. Her mum (my nanna) took her to the drive in theatre back in 1969 to watch it. Mum doesn’t remember much but she vaguely remembers seeing Herbie onscreen
I just had an intense realization watching this for the first time in years, that this movie alone sparked every single interest of mine going forward, when I was a very young kid. Everything I hold dear to my heart was in some way, influenced by The Love Bug. It’s kinda weird when I say it out loud, but it’s a powerful feeling when you have that realization.
When I was a child, I never found the idea of a Volkswagen beetle with a mind of it's own scary but as I got older I thought it is actually a quite scary idea.
I was lucky enough to own a 964RS replica that was a C2, fucking terrifying on road. I remember someone telling me that I drove it only on good days image flogging about in a VW in shit weather!
My uncle told me he had one of these cars as a teenager and that I should never get one because they start to break in half down the middle of the car- i'm not sure if he was being serious or referencing this movie
lol that part was damn hilarious seeing Herbie's rear part blocking Peter's path like "NOPE" pissing Peter off. aaahhh... good old Herbie... that was such a great movie. :3
Seems ridiculus today, but actually that would have just turned off his engine back in the day. No powersteering on that model, no bowerbrakes and also no locking steering :)
A dir la verità ci sta un pilota che riesce ad arrivare primo e terzo nella stessa gara il leggendario TOTÒ RIOLO di Cerda che nel 1997 vinse uno slalom con una Sport ed arrivò terzo con un BMW M3 E30...
Still the best today. I was 11 when i 1st saw it at theater, was a sensation back then lol. Good memories :) Only thing left with this government in place...
Wait- how is he able to keep driving without a shifter LMAO I swear to god this is a live action cartoon No wonder they won the race as the engine of the VW is in the back ROFL
In real life, if a car got passed the finishing line in two pieces, would it be disqualified? Peter Thorndyke gets his comeuppance and loses his Auto Car Showroom, after wagering it in the race, which he believed that he couldn't lose.
I love this movie so much it’s one of my favourite Disney movies and my favourite in the Herbie series, here is my list of Herbie films I rank from best to weakest Number 1 the love bug 1968 Number 2 Herbie rides again Number 3 Herbie goes to Monte Carlo Number 4 Herbie tv series 1982 Number 5 the love bug 1997 Number 6 Herbie fully loaded Number 7 Herbie goes bananas
@@doctorfeinstone6524 Not exactly. The VW Beetle (here in Brazil we call "Fusca") was produced until 1996, with a brief interruption between 1986-1993. It was Mexico who produced this car until 2003. But here in Brazil the Beetle can be seen anywhere, mostly mistreated by time or owner, but some very well maintained.
I feel the love bug franchise needs more attention nowadays because when people think of living Disney cars they think of Pixar’s cars But although I do love those movies I feel they overshadowed the love bug
2:07 - "Rotten sportsmanship if you ask me!" he says. Well, that's rich coming from Peter Thorndyke! Sabotaging Herbie, that's, any day, far more rotten than just blocking another car!
I only recently just watched the original herby, and now I remember being to universal studios Florida with my grandparents when I was little and seeing that herby car split in half. I’m not sure if it had made sense to me I had only seen the 2005 version at the time and I barely remember that, but wow I didn’t appreciate that nearly enough. I bet it’s not even there anymore.
Green screen and moving the cars off screen stuff like that they also used multiple Volkswagen beetles most not even being a 1963 bug but earlier or later models made to look like a 1963 Volkswagen beetle
I don't know if this is how they did it exactly but I think it's similar to the mechanics they used in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' and 'The Muppet Movie'. Where in the trunk there's a driver with everything in the engine cramed into a tight spot, and with a little camera on the front connected to a monitor so they can see. I know that's what they did in those two movies so I think that's what they did here.

How about lets give it a Thumbs up on our screens !!!!!!
The Thumbs down are Thorndyke's fans.
Because people aren’t cultured anymore and just don’t get it.
It’s a cinematic masterpiece if you ask me.
And he did it a second time in 1997.
This may very well be the most original and hilarious race ending in any movie.

You can't hurt Herbie unless you break the little car's heart.

Herbie was like, "the back half of me is dead weight imma lose it so I can go faster" 🤣
what herbie can and mcqueen don't
These effects actually hold up.
Why do they put tape on the headlights of the cars? Their are scenes where some of the cars have a cross tapped.
Dallas Salmon it was done primarily back in the day when cars actually used glass in the headlight assembly.

The split in two Herbie was a car all to it self. It was actually BUILT that way. About 20 different cars played Herbie alone in this first film.
they actually cut a perfectly good Bug in half and modified it. There were 12 Beetle used in TLB, only 5 exist.

Well considering herbie drove on the ledge of a building and on the cables of the golden gate Bridge, I'd say it's definitely a live action cartoon
also he didn't have a vw engine the driving herbies had BWM engines in them, they swapped them for way more powerful engines.
No one can beat Herbie

I know Herbie was fine, but he did just fall in two peices and crash. Nobody checks to see if he's still even alive after that?
The spirit is but the body most definitely not. I bet he hounted a modern VW Beetle years later and now lives as a new car.
