🤣 I love this! I remember going to watch Herbie at the pictures when I was a kid. I went to Monte Carlo on holiday years later too, but all I remember is that they had the best lychee sorbet I've ever had 😜

Absolutely no use to you whatsoever... Sorry! But I'm sure whatever you do will be kick ass! Cheers, Piper!

I asked chat gpt for the blurb on the back of the vhs and this is what it said...(not bad for a baby terminator!!)

"Get ready for a wild ride as Tank Girl takes on Monte Carlo in this uproarious adventure inspired by the cult comic series! Join Tank Girl and her kangaroo boyfriend, Booga, as they rev up for a hilarious escapade through the glitz and glamor of Monte Carlo. When Booga goes bananas, chaos ensues, leaving Tank Girl to navigate through high-speed chases, zany mishaps, and outrageous antics. Buckle up for a rollercoaster of laughs and action in Tank Girl Goes to Monte Carlo!"

To win the Monte Carlo Ralley of course, with Booga doing his best Tony Curtis impersonation from Some Like It Hot, 'The day we drove a tank through Monte Carlo'

Booga Goes Bananas: TG's tank gets possessed by an antique German AI that thinks it's getting up to hilarious physical comedy but everyone else thinks is just Booga f*cking about.

OK, so I just watched Herbie goes to Monte Carlo 1hr:24min and it has aged like a fine wine. Ultimate campy ride throught the countryside with european sports cars and a few plot twists like the chief of police or the "Inspector" turns out to be the mastermind behind a jewl theft of a 6 million money Jewel hidden by the crook in haste when the heist goes wrong. (Put in Herbie's gas tank unbeknownst to the world), this fellow comes complete with an over acieving (butt kissing) deputy and two bungling henchmen who chase the Herbie team throughout trying to get the jewel back. The plot revolves around the fact that Herbie has fallen in love with the trailblazing female driver's car and is losing all the qualifiers because of it, the female driver believes the two drivers are (I didn't have the credits but one of them is Don Knots) she thinks they are behind the hi jinx with her car, who regularly disapears for make out sessions and romps through Paris. Let's just say it had a disney happy ending and end it with that. I would watch it again.
