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.
Continuity mistake: When Thorndyke is squirting oil at Havershaw in the garage towards the end of the movie, the amount of oil on Thorndyke's right shoulder changes between shots.
Jim Douglas: Without a real car, I'm only half a man.
Trivia: The opening scene of the demolition derby cars is footage from the 1966 film "Fireball 500."
