It was soon re-released again on September 16, 1997 along with the entire Herbie the Love Bug film series. Carole then hears the whole truth about Herbie having a mind of his own and having a great speed for winning races instead of Jim. Parts of this scene can also be found in a 1966-model year dealer promotional film by Chevrolet, titled Impact '66. It received mostly positive reviews from critics, later earning a 76% "Fresh" rating from 17 critics on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes.

Over the next few months, they go on to become the toast of the racing circuit, while Thorndyke suffers increasingly humiliating defeats. It's just something that happens to certain objects in the Herbie universe. It tries to speak but car language is unintelligible to humans. A heated argument between Jim and Thorndyke is settled when Carole persuades Thorndyke to drop the charges if Jim purchases the car on a system of monthly payments. An unfilmed scene at the end of the story that was scripted and storyboarded was to have shown Herbie playing with children at a nearby playground prior to taking the newly married Jim and Carole off on their honeymoon. There, Tang Wu, (Benson Fong) a Chinese businessman whose store was damaged during Herbie's rampage, demands compensation that Jim can no longer afford. The original movie, The Love Bug, was a really a big mash note to cars and grassroots racing. Today, only a handful of the original Herbie cars are known to exist. The only logos can be briefly seen in at least two places, however. I'm referring to the car, not the Fantastic Four's robot. In one of the movies, a recent ish one but not the Lindsay Lohan thing, Albert Einstein (or another similar looking, brilliant, German fellow) was forced to make cars for Hitler (or, again, maybe it was less specific), and a framed photo of the woman he loved fell into the vat of liquid metal or something. Herbie is the love bug. Jim lived in an old firehouse overlooking San Francisco with his best friend Tennessee Steinmetz, often retelling the story of his trip to a mountaintop in Tibet. Jim's feelings about his new acquisition soon improve when it appears that Herbie is intent on bringing him and Carole together. Before the start of the race, Thorndyke persuades Wu to make a wager with him on its outcome. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Whole the movie was panned and had terrible reviews, the new look of the classic VW made the car wildly popular a full 35 years after the original debuted in theatres. He is enticed into an upmarket European car showroom after setting eyes on an attractive sales assistant and mechanic, Carole Bennett. Thorndyke (with his assistant Havershaw acting as co-driver) initiates every trick known to man to ensure that he and his "Thorndyke Special" (in actuality an Apollo GT) are leading at end of the first leg of the race. Four theatrical sequels followed: Herbie Rides Again, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, Herbie Goes Bananas, and Herbie: Fully Loaded. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the FanTheories community. Jim states his need for a "big and strong car" to drive in the upcoming El Dorado road race, but finds no sympathy from Tennessee or Carole. I vaguely remember a theory I once read about her or being like Christine. After narrowly escaping being torn apart in Thorndyke's workshop, and a destructive spree through Chinatown, during the Chinese New Year's parade, Herbie is about to launch himself off the Golden Gate Bridge when Jim reaches him. At Disney's All-Star Movies Resort at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, Herbie has been immortalized in the "Love Bug" buildings 6 and 7. Well the 1997 tv movie took a shot at explaining it, something about a German scientist and a picture if his wife falling into the molten metal, but that movie is of dubious canonicity. The second instance is on the ignition key, when Jim tries to shut down the braking Herbie. In 1968, Herbie the Love Bug became Hollywood's first four-wheeled movie star, and the Volkswagen Beetle's popularity persisted through three sequels and two reboots.
