The Love Bug is made-for-television film starring Bruce Campbell and a sequel to the original The Love Bug film. The sequel included a Dean Jones cameo, tying it to the previous films. Also, this movie introduced an evil black Volkswagen named Horace, "the Hate Bug."
The film can be seen as a remake of the original, since the events of the original are repeated closely, as well as a sequel, since it is made clear that this film happens after Herbie Goes Bananas. It can also be thought of as a prototype or "first attempt" of Herbie: Fully Loaded, since the events of that film are also duplicated here, such as a modern racer finding Herbie in a junkyard and restoring him.
This 1997 Love Bug film marks the first new appearance of Herbie in more than 15 years, following the Bug's lone TV series, which had ended after five episodes.
