The Love Bug Movie with Bruce Campbell (Movie Nights) (ft.

[@Oonagh72]

Bruce Campbell is an awesome actor. He needed to do more “wholesome” stuff. It gives it a devilish twist

[@DallyBearNK]

When Phelan co-hosts the show, the shadow in the intro should turn out to be him! :P

[@BowserTheSecond]

Fun fact: This film was directed by Peyton Reed, who also directed Ant-Man.

[@BowserTheSecond]

Ant Man was a great film. It's a fun smaller-scale superhero movie with a great narrative about an ex-con trying to be a good parent to his daughter.

[@CthulhuianBunny]

14:17 "Only after bringing Project Satan to life did they discover they had made a horrible mistake! For, you see, it was pure evil."

[@brendakrieger7000]

You and Phelous are wonderful together😍

[@keatonf7238]

I'm a huge comedy nerd, so just watching Dana Gould on screen as this henchman makes me happy.

[@docleo2001]

"The Assassination of Herbie by the Coward Horace"

[@kimifw58]

3:00 Cars have age of consent? Well, that gives new meaning to "bait car." But seriously, who thought that was appropriate for... _any_ kind of movie?

[@piestillaintreal6114]

Fun fact: Art cars are a whole Thing that's actually an anarchist movement! I just thinks that's neat!

[@michaellangwaller]

This wasn't the first time Herbie was cut in half, it happened in the original movie as well with the split being from side to side. yeah, Herbie is pretty much immortal.

[@brianfuller7691]

I really like this version which I call Love Bug '97. These crossovers with Allison and Phelan were great.

[@cartoonkelly7924]

I love this movie. This was my first introduction to Bruce Campbell. It’s delightfully dumb. Love that you guys reviewed it. :)

[@ariels3372]

i forgot about herbie the love bug wow

[@micahhirsh8458]

I think I saw the two halves of Herbie used in the film at Disney's Hollywood Studios back before they got rid of everything.

[@meghanobrien3045]

Less than 6 degrees. John Hannah played Lucy Lawless's husband in Spartacus and Lucy and Bruce were friends in Xena/ wife of Bruce's best friend.

[@oliviawilliams6204]

It's interesting to note the Volkswagen Beatle was one of the easiest car to fix, pretty simple effective mechanics or so i read

[@ProfessorTomNook]

You know a movie trailer's good when it plays "Butterfly" by Crazy Town.

[@DocZFlux]

Thing is, I'm a big Herbie fan, and I remember loving this movie as a kid. Also, while I would agree that Herbie: Fully Loaded had a really stupid title, I don't consider it the worst film in the series (it's actually pretty decent). That honor would go to Herbie Goes Bananas, in which we see Latin American stereotypes that even by the standards of the early 80s where painfully outdated!

[@ffs_]

Lol I spent the whole review slowly realising I've seen this movie before.

[@nevet1212]

There was a 3:30 minute unskipable add before this video... but I watched through it and it was worth it.

[@AllisonPregler]

That's weird, I don't have non-skippable ads selected.

[@nevet1212]

Well, guess it's a glitch in the matrix then.

[@SigEpBlue]

"Evil Scrooge McDuck" is Flintheart Glomgold. Or Sean Connery. :)

[@Kaefer1973]

Anything (non-negatively) featuring a Volkswagen Beetle is the best thing ever. so this is the best KZbin video ever, I wish I could up-vote it more than once.

[@vvevv88]

I feel like the 90s-00s Herbie stuff should've featured Pauly Shore as a reoccurring character.

[@JThom529]

Now I totally wished Bruce Campbell played Rick in The Mummy

[@Franandlar]

I Love This TV Movie Felt It Held The Spirit Of Both The Original Film And The First 2 Sequels And That Scene With Dean Jones In Herbie In The Film Just Made Me Cry

[@peppermintspacecapsule9898]

I saw the original Herbie films when I was a kid, and I saw this one as an adult... and yet this one is my favourite of the bunch! (...still haven't seen that Lohan one though....) :)

[@DalekTheSupreme]

Weirdly, I've only seen the Lohan one (I think my family had it on DVD when I was a kid). I... honestly don't remember it.

[@CthulhuianBunny]

Why didn't they cite The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. or Hercules: The Legendary Journeys on the back of the box? Those are more suitable a references for kids than a Tarantino movie!

[@Llirik_Kuynorov]

How much cooler would The Mummy have been is it was Bruce Campbell in the starring role ?

[@davidcolby167]

...I dunno, Brandon Frasher was perfect as Rick...

[@vincentdamienarneo369]

Agreed Brendan Frasier was the best part of the mummy movies, as great as Campbell is Frasier is great too in his prime

[@vincentdamienarneo369]

P.s. I just noticed the guy who played Jonathan in the mummy movies was in this hernia movie too lol, he popped up in this review just I finished that previous comment lol

[@ElvenRaptor]

Not at all. Brendan Fraser was perfect.

[@555Tbird]

There is a racing series dedicated to shitboxes. It's called the 24 hours of LeMons. Cars are supposed to be under $500, not including safety equipment.

[@harryadams9050]

Always thought John Hannah was underrated.

[@stefanfilipovits21]

So is Kevin J O’Connor for that matter

[@delta7115]

I remember watching this all the time as a kid. I completely forgot about the car funeral.

[@MyMagnificentOctopus]

Is Mickey Dolenz transforming into a car the origin story of Carman? Is the Charmed Carman a reboot of the Dolenz Carman?

[@papabearlives9995]

Wow the plot of this movie is basically the same thing as the original.

[@stevecheevers7337]

It always shocks me that Bruce Campbell never became a bigger star and he ended up in rubbish like this. Pity his breakthrough wasn't now cause he would make a great lead in a Marvel movie, he just oozes coolness.

[@culwin]

+steve cheevers At least he ended up on Burn Notice which is a pretty good TV series.

[@Logan912]

To be fair, he was entertaining in his roles in the Raimi Spider-Man movies. However, I'm not really sure what character he could play in an MCU movie or show.

[@sciencefantastic]

steve cheevers Maybe he could play Jean DeWolfe and be a cool cop/PI who helps Spidey fight the Kingpin or another crime boss.

[@obelixpfeifenreiniger2863]

i guess he never made it because he just gives a shit

[@jagodan.2772]

Bruce Campbell is... The Spider-Ham

[@kingofthegundam7974]

The only "Love Bug" movie I remember seeing was Herbie Fully Loaded. I remember liking it as a kid, though I don't know it's actually good.

[@johnalogue9832]

I loved this series when I was a kid! Never saw this one, but in hindsight it was a really weird series...is this movie in the Herbie canon, or the origin story and stuff ignored since they didn't put this one on DVD?

[@Shamandigi62091]

Now I want a Herbie the love bug transformer

[@gracekim1998]

Wait do you guys know about brum as well? (It’s another sentient car) 28.9.22

[@meghanobrien3045]

This is so much better when you imagine the film as autolocus and Batiatus time traveling to race each other

[@DalekTheSupreme]

You know what's weird? You're making Transformers jokes in your review of a movie featuring a living Volkswagen Beetle, and you don't reference Bumblebee once. I jest. Great video. The evil Beetle is amazing.

[@Tareltonlives]

Bruce Campbell is way too good for this.

[@Arrowdodger]

he often does some of his best work in stuff he is too good for

[@thedarthmj94]

Horace The Resentment Beetle.

[@randomreviews4278]

And the only love bug movie that's not on Disney +

[@thenodfather7790]

"The Love Bug", it always sounded like an S.T.D.

[@Obiwan1994Kenobi-iv4jf]

Funnily enough Bumblebee was a VW Beetle in the old cartoon.

[@bul13ts]

Has it ever struck you as odd how some comments appear twice?

[@andrebrynkus2055]

He will be again in the new movie. ... I haven't seen a Transformers movie since the second but the Bumblebee trailer was decent enough.

[@superpaytonmars8852]

IDK what your talking about. There never was a cartoon.

[@griffithmoony9263]

So..... Herbie is gay? Cool

[@Scatscar1985]

The mindset that thought we needed an origin story for Inspector Gadget...

[@adrienfourniercom]

this movie is post-The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.Bruce is on the up or the down of his career in the love bug, tho?

[@RealityCheckNews]

its a disgrace that this film is not on Disney+ when all the other Herbies are - even that tired seventies Harvey Korman sequel

[@graemesmith6721]

Herbie's original owner was played by Dean Jones, who was in about half the live-action Disney comedies made in the late 60s-early 70s. His crazy mechanic sidekick was played by Buddy Hackett. As in Christine, it was never explained why Herbie was self-aware. I actually prefer that to providing some bullshit explanation for it, like they did in this movie. Just fuck it, we're going there. Also, the original movie was based on a story called "Car, Boy, Girl" written in 1961.

[@Fanimati0n]

vehiculart? I think the more obvious name is C-ART

[@johnalogue9832]

...I know this comment is a year old, but really? CAR-T. You got it backwards.

[@artistwithouttalent]

Either way, you'd probably get sued by IndyCar for trademark infringement.

[@handsomebrick]

I feel like the original idea was C-AR-T but it was too awkward, but they didn't want to scrap the idea either, they tried various ideas like art-omotive and gas-thetics and arti-stick-shift, eventually they settled on vehicul-art because it was the least terrible.

[@griffithmoony9263]

Bruce Campbell was in dust til dawn 2?

[@JanetStarChild]

Took me almost the whole video to recall where I've scene that blonde before; ...Then I remembered... _"Schmoopie!"_

[@stefanfilipovits21]

I can’t believe I didn’t recognize her until I read this. Now it’s SO obvious.

[@nvfury13]

What I don't get is the original guy thinking they need to repair Herbie, he has seen Herbie heal from what should have been a totalled situation.

[@jagodan.2772]

I can't wait for Bumlebeherbee to come out.

[@justinmartin69jm]

It's Satan from "Tales From The Hood."

[@twig8523]

🤔 So if Herbie came back as a deadite... would his headlights be clouded white, or would it be the windshield? 🤷😆

[@Cameroo]

Horace the Hate Bug.

[@RadNat]

Finally, A movie where Gex is the Villain

[@calamaty9963]

I'm surprised they didn't know who dean Jones name from this movie. I only wanted to see this for the cutie Alexandra Wentworth from In Living Color back then.

[@nomduclavier]

Why does the car have a sex. Why is the car male if it was a woman's picture. This sentient car story has issues.

[@randalgraves6979]

Kevin J O’Conner was Michael Fitzsimmons in Peggy Sue got Married too.

[@Scatscar1985]

Herbie was buried at sea in "Herbie Goes Bananas"

[@EvelynDayless]

This is obviously a secret prequel to Drag Me to Hell.

[@stevermacsoucher1625]

great video needs more brad Jones

[@MissBarker93]

Unpopular opinion: I actually like the Lindsey Lohan version.

[@Andrewnuva199]

Same. At the very least I don't recall much cringe about it unless you feel you could go too far in making Herb' be expressive.

[@carveylover]

I haven't seen it in a while but I don't remember it being terrible. I think everyone knew what kind of movie they were in. I mean Matt Dillion definitely got it. For sure.

[@andrebrynkus2055]

There was a period of time when this came out that ABC was remaking quite a few old Disney live action classics. The Love Bug, the Shaggy Dog, Freaky Friday, etc. They were mostly pretty good in my pre-teen opinion but I'm not sure how well they aged. ... They certainly were better than the later theatrical remakes that had Lindsey Lohan in more than one of them.

[@jessewilley531]

Wait-- not Bruce Campbell of Brisco County Jnr.?

[@noahasencio8589]

Hi 👋

[@ryandowney8743]

I hope you eventually review the Lindsay Lohan version.

[@Kaefer1973]

The original Love Bug is the best Disney movie by far. And that is putting it mildly. I'd go so far to say that, aside from the other original Herbie movies is the only good Disney movie. And I'm not only saying this as person who doesn't like movies in general but loves the VW Beetle fanatically, but also as someone who just happens to be correct from a neutral point of view despite not being neutral.

[@teedup8995]

There was another sentient Volkswagen beetle movie called Superbug in the seventies.

[@Kaefer1973]

@@teedup8995 Yes, I remember that series. Hard to forget anyway since the next big thing about a sentient Beeetele was Transformers, which also had a yellow Beeetle. It was a shame they made Dudu some kind of dune buggy though.

[@shuddhakibria820]

John Hannah is more famous as Batiatus from "Spartacus" than "the Mummy" these days

[@MrZerothejedi]

.......Lindsay Lohan was driving Horus the whole time!! Look at the evil eyes!

[@BuddhaBot]

[@d_hurl]

Oh thank Goodness! I had avoided this sode cuz I thought it was the Lyndsay Lohan 1- but the title says its w/Bruce Campbell, 1 of my fave actors~( his book, "Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way," is a good read, check it out) so I couldn't process what a juxtaposition that would be & finally gave in. So glad it wasn't the Lohan disaster, but I'm still not gonna watch it. I figure seeing it vicariously thru you guys is enough. I wonder how peeps would stack this against IceBreaker?

[@lnfreeman]

Love john Hannah

[@chrisdryer]

I used to like "Herbie Goes Bananas". Or at least I like the name.

[@ShadeMeadows]

Wait... Herbie's a girl? 👀

[@brandonleitzel6029]

😀😀😀🐢🍉👍✌👉

[@cthulhulives2]

I would have gone with Grand Theft Art-o

[@nicks1451]

Anyone remember when Herbie tried to commit suicide in the original movies? Lol this franchise was bizarre

[@stefanfilipovits21]

The Assassination of Herbie The Love Bug by the coward John Hannah

[@twilightman2816]

23:22 Herbie was cut in half (width-wise, not length-wise) in the original as well. Yawn. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aom6ppmLj5agrrM

[@carveylover]

Guys I am disappointed in you. Dana Gould longtime writer and producer for The Simpsons. Big time stand up. Not related at all to Harold or Elliot Gould.

[@msminmichigan]

The opening theme needs to be about half as long. I get that she's going for a satire of cheesy 80's shows but this is KZbin ut just doesn't work. I always just ski to :30

[@JThom529]

I’ll take it over Film Brain’s BMB Mario-paint cover. That’s a bloody headache

[@AlirioAguero2]

Try Bobsheaux's one whole minute long opening accompanied by really loud uptempo music. I don't mind it, but you don't like long intros, you'll probably find that one exhausting.

[@Obiwan1994Kenobi-iv4jf]

Funnily enough Bumblebee was a VW Beetle in the old cartoon.

[@bul13ts]

Has it ever struck you as odd how some comments appear twice?

[@Obiwan1994Kenobi-iv4jf]

It is indeed odd.

[@DalekTheSupreme]

And in the latest movie! You know... the good one.
