- Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Maggie and Herbie race Trip the first time, after Herbie "mirrors" his car, there is a moment when Maggie grabs the gearshift and lightning flows down the shifter followed by some animation of gear action going forward from the shifter. In a (real) Beetle the transmission is located under the back seat, right in front of the motor and the shift mechanism is a rod going back to it.
- Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Maggie gets to drive Trip's car, it's supposedly night time. But the headlights, while clearly shining brightly, are very dark. The shots were clearly filmed during the day, then darkened to look like night.
- Movie Goof (continuity error): After the second race when Herbie purposely brakes to let the other person win, when Herbie is being towed away, there is a shot from Herbie's point of view looking at Maggie. In that shot, Maggie is facing Herbie. In the overhead shot, Maggie has rotated 90 degrees to the right.
- Movie Goof (continuity error): About an hour into the film, as Herbie's being pulled away on the tow truck, we can see from his point of view that Maggie's helmet is lying on the ground several feet in front of her. This makes sense as she threw it on the ground and walked a bit away from it a few minutes earlier. However in an overhead shot, the helmet has moved next to Maggie, although she's still standing in the same spot. Also, while Herbie's being pulled away, the fan stands inexplicably disappear leaving Maggie and some fans standing in the middle of the desert.
