This looks more like a banger race. It’s like a demolition derby, but involves actually going around a track rather than just being in a pit. They tend to be more popular in European countries like the Netherlands and the UK.
All these hits look brutal. And the drivers are wearing short sleeves and open faced helmets with the windshield still installed. That's old school nuts.
I remember watching this movie over and over again and on this scene I always make sound effects and talk like I'm the drivers and go like "Hey you hit me" or "My wheel man!"
When I saw this as a kid, sometime in the late 80's, this opening was my introduction to demo derbies. I just saw all the cars crashing into each other and thought it was cool. Now I can't help but notice how old all those cars are and how upsetting it is to see them getting smashed. When the film came out those were just old beaters but now they would be antiques and you would never see one in a demo derby no matter how beat up it was.
Actually there was a demolition derby this past year where they only ran cars from 59 or older... and they’re havin’ another one in Ohio next month! Also they ran a 57 Chevy there...
F It’s unfortunate that a lot of those cars got destroyed in demolition derbys and scrap yards, can’t wait until shit mobiles from the 2010’s and 2020’s are all gone. Truly the worst eras of cars despite how much “better” people claim they are. The 50’s and 60’s will forever be the golden age of cars.
Crazy to think about it, People didn't know how special these cars really were at the time then as now in the present future. Most of these cars can be found in Cuba, junkyards, barns, and lucky people whos parents/Grandparents kept their cars. We have a 65 Mustang that needs a new windshield and new tires.
@@rockyfoxanimations people don't know how special anything was before the internet started their collector's effects and skyrocketed the price of old beaten up cars nowadays
For those interested, this entire opening credit sequence is made up of extraneous footage taken from a stock car racing film called Fireball 500. I've never actually seen the film...
This was my favorite movie when I was little, but how much I hated to look at all my favorite cars in that demolition derby getting destroyed!!! I wish I could jump into the movie and just go car shopping and enjoy what America had to offer back in the 60s. And showing how beautiful old San Francisco was like with normal everyday people showing pride with how clean everything was!!!
Fair point; Herbie and his primary humans' struggles were central to the plot here, whereas in the sequels the heroes' actions were born more or less from outside circumstances that they happened to be in a position to be direct victim of, though these have their moments too, like Herbie's love arc in the second one; Herbie desiring for something more than racing could easily have been made the central theme of Monte Carlo, but this is offset with a whole diamond theft interlude. Samuel F.
By looking at some of the people that were in this movie, and on the crew as well, some of them actually worked in a lot of past Walt Disney movies, before. Especially Mary Poppins.
I have a Herbie replica. My father actually bought one of the non- decaled cars (scene where Dean Jones gets flowers). I have a newer model and I hate it when people yell “Where is Lindsay Lohan”?
0:13 Herbie: (narrating) For those of you who have never heard a story told from the perspective of a car, this may just be your first time around. It’s a story about racing and showing the crowds what you can do, and how everyone’s got to play by the rules. Actually, none of these cars are me.
The Love Bug 1963 Herbie vw built 30 years ago before The Love Bug 1969 Opening credits Dean Jones as Jim Douglas. The Love Bug 1968. The Love Bug 34 video in cupido.The Love Bug video has 25 not 34. When Jim Douglas was giving the bumper to tessennee missing the video.
0:53 and 2:23 Why does Crazy Hal have two different cars? They're both numbered 91 and have 'Crazy Hal' written on them. Two different number 90 cars are there too (2:15 and 2:25).
These shots are not all from one race. Back in the '60s (and today as well), semi-pro stock car racers would build, and run several cars over the course of their careers. Sometimes several cars a year, as older used cars could be bought fairly cheap in the 60s.
0:30 Herbie: (narrating) Of the many millions of small cars that rolled off the assembly lines, it happened that one was different from all the others. That’d be me.
Am I the only one who was confused by this opening as a kid? This was before I understood that these were destruction derbies, as opposed to normal races. And it made me disappointed that there were no destruction derbies in the movie after the opening, LOL.
These days around here they water the field so its muddy and none of them can get traction and its all about safety and stuff. Pathetic. They cant build up enough speed to do anything.
Zach Sears its not a Chevy, I think its a 54-56 Ford Customline because of the taillights design, you can see they're round shaped and 57 Belair doesn't comes with round taillights. However, it also could be a 56 Chevy 150/210, but I'm not sure at all because in that time every cars are identical to each other.

This movie not only was a childhood favorite of mine. But it's one of the few Disney movies that have my respect.
Why few? Just curious
The Love Bug cupido language has 34 video.The Love Bug english language has 25 video. The Love Bug 1969 needs 34 video in english.
RIP Dean Jones. He died 8 years ago today. That is what brought me here.
Strauss and a Demolition Derby.
I've never seen or heard anything more perfect.

You guys keep calling it a demo;lition derby, it's a figure 8 race of jalopys and street stocks.
Alot of those cars in this scene would be worth a Fortune if they did not have a demolition race with them.
But then we wouldn't have this movie
It's pretty painful to watch those classics get destroyed at the beginning
With this joyful music over those cars getting crashed, it doesn't sound or feel too bad.
Most Definitely the best one of the Herbie movies
Fair point; Herbie and his primary humans' struggles were central to the plot here, whereas in the sequels the heroes' actions were born more or less from outside circumstances that they happened to be in a position to be direct victim of, though these have their moments too, like Herbie's love arc in the second one; Herbie desiring for something more than racing could easily have been made the central theme of Monte Carlo, but this is offset with a whole diamond theft interlude.

Finally found this scene! Been looking for years!

Cant get over the fact:
This film is about cars
Herbie will always have my heart. i remember watching this as a kid and thinking how fun it would be to drive in a demolition derby lmfao
3:44 Jim was tempted, but he still had enough pride left to say "Nope".
I have a Herbie replica. My father actually bought one of the non- decaled cars (scene where Dean Jones gets flowers). I have a newer model and I hate it when people yell “Where is Lindsay Lohan”?
I enjoy it as much at 33 as I did when I was 2.
That's a lot of crashes, flips and spinouts in that scene!
I counted 50
I love this movie! :)
when did this demolition derby happen??????????
at the beginning
Or if you mean in the film creation. 1969.
No,i think it was late 1968
I didn't notice before that the title graphics change to form a shape of VW bug.
Not seen in this upload but Jim mentions an Edsel
Tennessee turns it into art
To be fair, the Edsel was a commercial flop on launch
I remember watching this with my grandparents and mom and my mom said "ugh I hate this I have driving anxiety!"
You can really tell these cars are made of steel not plastic. Aint no Prius can take a hit like that and keep going
Joey Pincombe No sirree
you have a really good point
I dunno man, did you see the crash test they did between a late 1950s Impala and a late model Malibu? It was NOT pretty.
They had been altered for the derby
I agree! Steel is better than plastic... why must cars be made to break down??? I mean a good car = more people buy the actual car
If Only People Knew About This Movie Now-Days.
I Remember Someone Came Out With "Herbie For President"
The character wouldn't need a limosine
With the sunglasses Dean Jones looks just like Paul Walker in Fast & Furious.
0:20 Christine is also involved in this race 😂😂😂😂
I knew Christine is a killer but I didn't know she liked getting beaten up by other cars!
@The Melting WOLF 😂😂😂😂 you're right!
damn! she isn't afraid of anything!
Now we know why she wants to kill anybody
Killer car gets wrecked 😂
I believe it started off in a demolition derby scene
I’ve been to one demolition derby here in Australia in the late 80s and all the cars had to drive in reverse.
Well this is not a demolition derby, it's a figure 8 race, and there's always crashes in the cross section if the driver doesn't stop on time.
25 dislikes?! HAVERSHAW!!!
This movie got me into demolition derbys
It's a figure 8 race.
I have fond memories of watching herbie when I was a kid :)
I CAN'T STOP CAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD CRASHES
We know joey but cars are fragile and are easy to break.

The sport of 'car wrestling', oops that's from 'Speed Racer'.
As Seen on Family Classics with Dean Richards
Using stock footage helped to keep the budget low
this is such fun
0:34 Herbie: (narrating) Now you didn’t think a car could have a mind of its own, did you? Well, nobody else did either at first.
Seeing that red 1958 Plymouth Belvedere in a demolition derby made my heart hurt.
I saw a black 57?
Weren't some of these shots taken from fireball 500?
Yeah

2:20 OMG No!! Wrecked a perfectly good 1957 Chevy Bel Air 2 door hard top V8. Ouch!!!😨
Is hard to my heart see all this cars being destroyed.but the music make more less hard. R.i.p Chevy 57

This is figure 8 racing, not a demolition derby.

Was it release since 1968 or 69
