3. Herbie the Love Bug
There are several Disney movies that feature a cute white VW Beetle they called Herbie. The first of those was released in the ’60s and the latest was in 2005 starring Lindsey Lohan. The plot is more the less the same: a cool-looking VW Bug with a mind of its own racing and beating the world’s best sports car.
In the latest movie, Herbie even races the NASCAR superspeedway. Despite being primarily a movie for kids, a lot of people grew up thinking that an ordinary 34 HP Beetle could be fast. That is a prime example of how misleading movies can be, even when they are obviously a fairytale.
