DVD Herbie Goes Bananas
This fourth Love Bug movie is a wooden story about Herbie's funny adventures heading toward a race in Brazil. Charles Martin Smith and Steven W. Burns try hard to bring some life into this project, but it just doesn't happen. There is one good laugh in the whole thing, in a scene where Herbie becomes a matador. Otherwise, even the picturesque, south-of-the-border stuff doesn't help. --Tom Keogh
Herbie is back in probably one of the funnist movies ever in the triogly. The basic storyine. Jim Douglas (Dean Jones) somehow gives his nephew his beloved Herbie. In time, the nephew Pete and his best frined D.J get themselves into big trouble by having a little boy named Paco love there car. But during the middle half of the movie, Herbie gets thrown off the ship and the two have to get Herbie back and try to win the Race in Rio,but while that happens, little Paco has stolen some film for these bad men. Sadly, the men find him, take him to the Panama region and found treasure. Luckily Pete and his frineds save the day!
Ok i give this a five (but plot a three) because... its a nice little car and Herbie is the best of them! But the plot deserves a three because its got many problems. Not to be on the bad side. Vincent McEveety did a good job for this movie (i loooved Herbie goes to Monte Carlo!) but the end, he messed up. He couldve fixed it greatly. The end goes like this.
Ending: Pete, D.J, Paco and Auntie Louis, get Herbie all spiffed up and clean for the race. Somehow, Paco becomes the driver and Pete is fine with that. He (Paco) gives a thumbs up and the song a frined comes on
THIS IS A MADE-UP ENDING IN MY OPINION
My Ending:
The TRUE ending of Herbie goes Bananas should go like this, (another 45 min ending) Paco finally learns that 'ucho' (eight in spanish) is really Herbie. The big ship called the SS princess, has finnaly came in to race into Brazil and eneter the race, luckly Jim douglas is there, and the man at the booth says 'Paco cannot be qualified' So jim Douglas goes at it again, and this time almost loses as the bug and douglas win. Paco and the rest of the crew cheer on. After the race, Jim Douglas, says good bye to Herbie as he puts him in a used car lot, as the new movie of HERBIE FULLY LOADED, should come into play.
Love it but i also may have a prolouge

Nostalgic Fun
Jim's passed his car onto his nephew for the final of the original four Herbie movies. Pete and his partner DJ pick up Herbie in Mexico, planning to enter in a race in Brazil. What they don't plan on is getting mixed up with a pickpocket and stow away who has befriended their car. But Paco has crossed some bad men, accidentally stealing their film, the only clue they have to the location of Inca ruins they intend to steal. Can a little car save the day again?
Ok, I admit it. This is by far the weakest of the original Herbie movies. The plot is extremely far fetched with at couple of nice plot holes. So why the five stars? Because watching this movie never fails to bring a smile to my face. It's probably the one I watched the most growing up, and I just can't look at it with a critical eye. Beside, any car that would take on an airplane, and win, is ok by me.
The DVD leaves a little to be desired as well. Presented in full frame instead of wide screen, it's a movie only release.
This movie is best viewed through rose-colored glasses of childhood. Don't think about it too critically, or you'll find its flaws. Just sit back and let Herbie take over.
Dean Jones, star of The Love Bug, came back to the fold for this third lap around the block, which finds him racing in Monte Carlo while thieves plant a stolen diamond in Herbie's gas tank. The plot is forced and conventional, but the cast is the thing: the excitable Don Knotts (The Apple Dumpling Gang) and the tormentable Roy Kinnear (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) are good men to have in a potboiler such as this. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Dean Jones - Don Knotts Director(s): Vincent McEveety DVD Release Date: Released the 04 May 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

The first sequel to The Love Bug is similar enough to the first film's charm and raucous comedy that it works on its own. Neither Dean Jones nor Michelle Lee are back, but a nice cast of familiar pros keeps things moving along slickly. The story finds Herbie helping Helen Hayes--yes, the First Lady of the American Theater--keep out of the clutches of Keenan Wynn's villain. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Helen Hayes - Ken Berry - Stefanie Powers Director(s): Robert Stevenson DVD Release Date: Released the 04 May 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

This savvy Disney hit from 1969 made a star of a Volkswagen precisely when the car was becoming more popular than ever. Dean Jones and Michele Lee head the cast in a story about a VW bug with a mind of its own. Disney point man Robert Stevenson, director of The Absent-Minded Professor, Mary Poppins, and lots of other Disney live-action hits, makes the slapstick work perfectly and keeps the laughs coming. Buddy Hackett is very funny in a supporting role. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Dean Jones - Michele Lee Director(s): Robert Stevenson DVD Release Date: Released the 20 May 2003 Usually ships in 24 hours

When a slightly cross-eyed Siamese cat named D.C. (Darn Cat) turns up with a wristwatch around his neck instead of a collar, it could be just the clue the FBI needs to crack a series of bank robberies in this lightweight comedy from Disney. The watch belongs to a bank teller who has been taken hostage. Dean Jones stars as the good-hearted FBI agent assigned to the case. Unfortunately, he is highly allergic to, you guessed it, cats. Hayley Mills is D.C.'s doting owner who hatches a hair-brained scheme to follow D.C.'s every move until he returns to the crooks' hideout where he got the wristwatch. After a lot of sneezing, slapstick, and comedic intrigue, the bank robbers are foiled, the hostage is safe, and everyone is happy. An impressive supporting cast of Frank Gorshin,...
