Even though nothing can top the original Love Bug, I will never cry as hard as when he get's thrown off the ship with his horn blaring and being resqued by Paco here in Goes Bananas.
I remember when I watched this for the first time. I thought herbie had died, and it took me so long to stop crying. Granted, I was 5, but it still gets me.
Herbie obviously wanted to survive and get back to shore, but I feel like the main thing that motivated him was actually getting back to Paco. He was really upset about getting thrown overboard because he was serving a purpose by being Paco's friend. As he was in the ocean he knew that Paco was missing him so he felt like he had to find him again and that's part of what determined him to swim all the way to land to find him. It just shows how incredibly loyal he is.
Same. He's my childhood. I watched herbie my intier life but I didn't know there was more movies. Please bring herbie back!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!:(♡♡♡♡ 53 ❤ 🤍 💙
Wow I forgot about this comment until watching this again now. Future me, if you see this I hope you've gotten that vw beetle of your dreams And I'm expecting that next year when you start driving
Herbie:*coughing* Help me please Me: who's outside *looks in the water* what the?! Herbie is that you? Herbie: hey I know you Me: Herbie what happened to you Herbie: those stupid people on that cruise ship tossed me overboarded Me: what?! Herbie: now I look like a clean car but I'm just a rusty car Me: Awww!
0:41 Herbie: Paco!! it’s me!!! 0:51 Herbie: (Gasping) I can’t swim much longer!! Help! 1:20 Herbie: Hurry!! (Gurgling) 1:41 Herbie: (Coughs) Muchas Gracias, gentlemen. Thanks Paco. 2:45 Herbie: I guess this is the end. Thanks for everything, Paco. I’m sorry for letting you down. I really am.
What gets me is Herbie also does the same thing and swims in the ocean in Herbie Rides Again, and why didn't he turn into a rust bucket then? It doesn't really make sense.
Only if Dean Jones(Jim Douglas) along with either Buddy Hackett or Don Knotts and Herbie's girlfriend from the Monte Carlo film was in that movie, this would've never happened.
All the Herbies that are rusty were all weathered and painted to look like that because you'll notice that the interior is still in fairly mint condition. As for the car throw overboard, it was found by a group of scuba divers but never retrieved. The reason being is, A it wasn't an actual proper car, but a fiberglass and wooden prop made to look like an actual car. B if it could be retrieved, it would fall apart from YEARS of corrosion.
0:13 I feel like I need to point this out but there is a boat by that guys arm on the right, my guess that might be the boat that pulled Herbie up the dam
At first it looks like it*s the end for Herbie, but Paco has faith in ocho & Herbie gets backbto life, of coursevrhere was annother movie, Herbie goes to Montecarlo, I don*t know if this was before or after.
