I'm not sure if Giselle is naturally alive, or not but Herbie has the power to make other vehicles come to life. Since it is seen in the last movie (Herbie Rides Again) that Herbie can make dozens of Volkswagen Beetles come to life by simply just honking at them, and Herbie does the exact same thing here.
I think it's implied that he "feels/knows" when a car is alive. He was attracted to the Lancia before they even got close. So I always assumed he can "speak" to cars and if they are alive, they understand him and vice-versa.
But wait a minute, Herbie was a fickle date em and drop em type of car. Later on in this movie it is revealed by Jim and Wheelie just how many times he's done this. Jim says to a heartbroken Giselle. That Wheelie is right....and that so far they've had to tell this to a Fiat, a Thunderbird, and an Austin Healey. So herb is flavor of the month guy.
George Burns is the composer of the original of Herbie The Love Bug. His version might be the most recognized but the Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo version which was composed by Frank De Vol will always be the best one in my book.
Both Herbie The Love Bug and Herbie Rides again were composed by George Burns while Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo and Herbie Goes Bananas were composed by Frank De Vol.
The funny thing is, it IS Laguna Seca's corkscrew. Most of the qualifying race scenes were filmed there, but I believe all of the actual Trans-France race was filmed in France with the exception of a few scenes like Herbie driving into the lake, which was actually the same lake used for Herbie skipping across the water in The Love Bug.
@@_chan.burn.21_ Not all of it. Ever noticed how many of the "Alps" scenes seem strangely similar to the El Dorado? Shot in the California mountains...
That's the good one. Once again... You hear that, Herbie? Now you forget that powderpuff to get your mind on racing! You better believe it! Say, Herbie, where you going? Herbie, you could get us disqualified! He could get us killed! Forget the music! Whoa! Well, I hope you enjoy the scenes of Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, you hear? See you later.
*laugh* That's the good one, too. Once again... Say, Herbie, where you going? Herbie, you could get us disqualified! He could get us killed! Forget the music! Whoa! You hear that, Herbie? Now you forget that powderpuff to get your mind on racing! You better believe it!
@@eriktruchinskas3747 I actually prefer saying "Lancia" as "Lan-see-uh"; it sounds more elegant that way (as the name of an Italian auto manufacturer should).
Herbie: Oooo that car looks hot I want to meet her Herbie: Hey hey hey hey hey Giselle: I don’t have time to talk bug boy Herbie: I’ll just play some romance music 🎵
@ethanschmid4104 So do I. I also like to disregard what _Herbie Goes Bananas_ implies happened to Giselle so that she & Herbie are still a happy couple to this day.
Christine ios of course is evil and should be destroyed! Dalek 1: "You are in our power! You will be exterminated!" Daleks: "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"
This movie was much better than Herbie Goes Bananas or Herbie Rides Again. They also picked a lot of iconic 70s cars to be in this movie .my 2nf fav other than the original Love Bug movie
(Diane angrily gets out of her Lancia. Jim and Wheely gets out of Herbie) Jim: Now, wait a minute, buddy- Diane: (removes her helmet) What do you mean, "buddy"?! Jim: Uh, Miss buddy. Diane: You- You- Jim: Yeah, Jim Douglas, and I'm very sorry. Diane: You think... that because I'm a woman driver, you can get away with anything you please! Well, I'm not a pigeon for your fun and games! I've had it with you clowns! Jim: No, I'm not the clown. Believe me, it was Herbie. Diane: Oh, yes, you're blaming your dizzy mechanic! Jim: No, no, it's- Herbie's the car, and he's kinda like a person. He's- Now, I know that sounds funny. Diane: Crazy, is more like it!
Also Dean Jones, R.I.P to the two of them, they were the best. Especially Don Knotts which he was seen in other Disney films, even he voiced a character in Chicken Little. He is a such a great guy and a best comedian, we would all miss Dean Jones and Don Knotts.
The unfortunate thing about this ship is that Giselle is a lancia and they are known for rusting away or having no breaks, which means there is pretty much only one way for this to end.
@@TheCarson116 oh absolutely, lancia isn’t actually that much if any more prone to this, honestly it has more to do with climate, however that one top gear segment, like many, lives rent free in my mind.
Sadly, in Herbie Goes Bananas it is alluded to that Giselle (the Lancia Scorpion seen in this movie) failed to “make a curve” in a race and Herbie not finishing that race. Thus Herbie being passed to Jim Douglas’s relative, setting up the scenario for Herbie Goes Bananas
@@spino-tinodon1146 Carl model name is Montecarlo. When they started selling it in the U.S. they renamed it as Scorpion 'cause in that market there was already a Chevrolet named "Monte Carlo"
I suspect the reason why they chose that Lancia to be Herbie's love interest is due to the way the headlights look when they open up, like a pair of eyes with eyelashes, gives the car character.
He doesn't specifically like Italian women. Later on in this movie Wheelie and Jim have to consul a heartbroken Giselle in her pit area and convince her that herbie is an asshole and to just leave him. Jim tells her that Herb is not a one women type of guy. He tells her that wheelie is right, and that so far they've had to tell this same thing to a Fiat, a thunderbird, and an Austin Healey.
Ethan Schmid Yep, Ole Wheelie had ro be the asshole twice. Poor guy, he said screw this shit, and left all 4 of them in France and became someone elses mechanic.
Herbie: Oh my god that Lanchia looks so pretty herbie:hey girl what is your name? i'm " Herbie" Giselle: What do you want from me? the name is Giselle i'm to busy racing and your not even in this race Herbie: So?
BEST MOVIE I HAVE ALREADY WATCHED FROM THE '70s AFTER THE 1971 DUEL, BUT HERBIE AND BETTER TRUE, I DO NOT KNOW BUT BECAUSE DISNEY ABANDONED THE ANCIENT MOVIES, WERE WELL BETTER!
O AMOR NUNCA MORRE! DPS Q O HERBIE FICOU COM O OUTRO FUSCA FIQUEI TRISTE, MSM ASSIM O CLASSICO AINDA ESTÁ COM SEU AMOR! SEI Q O VIDEO E AMERICANO E TALS MAS N TEM NDA. Sorry for the inconvenience. I AM A BRAZILIAN, AND YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TALKING AND I AM USING THE GOOGLE TRADUTOR
@@RantingBrummie That would not make sense to me especially since the Audi TT wasn't released until 1998, quite a few decades after Herbie & Giselle met, plus the fact that there's nothing between them that would logically lead to a TT being born. If you ask me the most logical thing to happen would be for them to have a family consisting of several VW Beetles & Lancia Scorpions (though how they'd actually come to be is another story).
Hey, I’ve noticed something. When Giselle stops, the driver changes. Maybe was a racing driver for the scenes where she is in move and then they changed for be Dyane inside
0:09 Herbie: ...Wow... 0:38 Herbie: I GOTTA GET HER NUMBER!!! (Well, her *other* number, but you get the point...) 1:36 Herbie: Hello there. (⌐■▽■) Gizelle: (Oh, my...)
Lucas Martínez Parra It goes by 2 names. The european name was Monte carlo. However Chevrolet had already trademarked the Montecarlo name for one of their cars in the United States, so here in the states we got the car as the Lancia Scorpion.
Notice when Herbie pops a mad wheelie, he becomes shorter. This is because it's a modified drag body. Also note that it's based from an oval model, and that the taillights are placed higher due to the rear apron cut higher.
