The Love Bug: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Affectionate Pickpocket]]: Paco in ''Herbie Goes Bananas''.

* [[Baguette Beatdown]]: In ''Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo'', there is a scene where Herbie is waiting at a stoplight at an intersection when a truck driver gets a French woman carrying some groceries angry at him. She proceeds to pound on the side of the truck with a baguette, causing no obvious damage to the bread or to the truck. It does result in the Love Bug getting dirty.

* [[Biker Babe]]: Maggie in ''Fully Loaded''.

* [[Bungled Suicide]]/[[Interrupted Suicide]]: At one point a despondent Herbie attempts to leap off the Golden Gate Bridge, a feat made more difficult by the fact that his round wheels don't help him climb very well. His struggles last long enough for Jim to find him and talk him down.
