Some differences between the original Herbie and the
remake's: The number "53" is in a different font, as well as bigger on the
hood and smaller on the doors than with the original. Also, it is further
down the hood, and the chrome strip goes over the "53" rather than under.
Also in the new version, the stripes do not go over the sunroof. The 2005
movie is also the first in which Herbie sports eyelids.

says "El Dorado". This is the name of the final big race in the first
movie.

The plot of Herbie: Fully Loaded has been compared to
the Warner Brothers movie Racing Stripes. In that movie there is a girl
named Channing Walsh who wants to ride a zebra named Stripes in a
horserace, but her dad won't let her because he doesn't want her to get
killed the way her mom did. The plot similarities go on and on. The only
basic differences are that unlike Maggie, Channing didn't have a
boyfriend, nor did the winner (Stripes) drive his opponent insane as
Herbie drove Maggie's rival, Trip, to utter distraction.
-
The movie Maggie and Herbie are watching at the
drive-in movie is Scary Movie 2.
