Quotes
Jim Douglas:
I'd like another shot at that prize money. Okay for next Sunday?
Bice:
No, Jim, it ain't okay.
Jim Douglas:
Now, look, Bice, I know...
Bice:
No, *you* look. All my drivers are eighteen, nineteen... You're too old for these kid sports. You're liable to get hurt in there.
Goofs
After Herbie hits Mr. Wu's shop he has a dent up front, but later in the impound lot this dent has gone and his headlights have no glass in them.
Crazy Credits
At the end of the end credits, the words "The End" turn into an animated bug which drives away from the screen.
Alternate Versions
When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'U' rating. All cuts were waived in 1986 when the film was re-rated with a 'U' certificate for home video.
