Trivia
The lake Herbie drives through is the same lake Herbie skipped on top of in The Love Bug (1969).

Goofs
At the first qualifying round when Herbie is pivoting to watch the Lancia pull up to the finish line, his wheels don't roll like they're supposed to, indicating that he's on a turning platform.

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.

Only True Fans Will Watch This One

If you are a Herbie fan, and you love the little Volkswagen car with the number 53, then you most likely have seen this 1977 Disney film. Anyone else has never heard of it before, and probably for good reason. Its just not that good an entry in the Herbie series. Yeah, Herbie fans will tell you that you should see this film if you plan to watch the rest of them, but be prepared, its slow paced and just not that funny.

Yeah, its great to see Dean Jones back as Herbie's driver, Jim Douglas and we get to have fun with Don Knotts and his shenanigans, but it doesn't last, especially for a nearly two hour film. The antics last about five minutes at best, and the jokes mostly fall flat. And what about Jim Douglas? Didn't he get married in The Love Bug in 1969? Shame on you, Jim Douglas.

The most positive thing I found in this film is that we get a glimpse of a young Eric Braeden, known mostly for his television role of Victor Newman in the CBS soap The Young and the Restless.
