Directed by: Robert Stevenson
Starring: Dean Jones, David Tomlinson, Buddy Hackett, Michele Lee
Revealing mistake: When Carole and Jim rush out of Herbie to find Thorndyke under the bonnet, you can see that Carole is not Michele Lee but her stunt double.
Revealing mistake: In a shot of Thorndyke's car and the front and back of Herbie as they approach the finish line of the El Dorado, look at the back half and you can see that Tennessee is not Buddy Hackett but his stunt double.
Plot hole: When Jim is shown what he has to pay for the damages Herbie did to Mr. Wu's shop he says he has no money. First off if he had no money how in the world was he able to put down any money on the red sports car he had just purchased that night? Secondly, what happened to the prize money from all the races he was winning from the previous few months?
Jim Douglas: Without a real car, I'm only half a man.
Trivia: Dean Jones has two roles in this movie. Not only does he play Jim Douglas, he is also the bearded hippie who speaks to Carole (Michele Lee) when she is trapped in Herbie at the drive-in restaurant.
