Herbie Rides Again is the first sequel to Disney's fabulously successful The Love Bug. The emphasis here is on Mrs. Steinmetz (Helen Hayes), a feisty old San Franciscan who refuses to sell her home to... read more read more... conniving developer Alonzo Hawk (Keenan Wynn). Hawk's nephew, lawyer Willoughby Whitfield (Ken Berry), joins Mrs. Steinmetz's camp when he falls in love with her niece Nicole (Stefanie Powers). (This, of course, is after Nicole angrily slaps Willoughby with a boiled lobster, sending him plummeting over a balcony railing and into the drink). The day is saved by Herbie, the almost-human Volkswagen, who rallies every VW in town to thwart Hawk's machinations. Herbie Rides Again performed admirably enough to inspire still another sequel, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    A childhood favourite. I love the soup-bubble in the office scene!

    The last decent herbie flick before they lost their charm if you ask me, the look and effects are just as cute and charming as the original and the fact its still set in SF makes it feel like a sequel to the first despite a different cast.

    Really great madcap comedy-adventure of Herbie to protect her leading lady Helen Hayes by saving her beloved Victorian firehouse home from the wrecking ball of greedy real estate Keenan Wynn. Wynn is so hilarious as Disney's most lovable villian.

    I feel the original series of Herbie movies were cute and funny. The more recent remake I didn't care much for. Guess if they had a better character for Herbie than her may have made things better.

    Herbie is backthis time hes living with an old lady in an old Firehouse with Living objects such as a Grandfather clock and an old trolly. Then you have Mr. Hawk who wants the land the old Firehouse is on, its up to Herbie to save the day once again. Also watch as Herbie enlists ... read morethe other VW bugs in the area for a massive attack against Mr. Hawk.

    One of the greatest sequels in movie history. Herbie is in prime form if you love the love bug than you will enjoy a second helpping of Herbie love bug juice.
