Very clever scene. The only thing that might've made it just a touch funnier would be if the R/C car were the same model and color as the actual car driven by the bad guy. (The vehicular equivalent of a "mini-me," as 'twere.)

For the killer just having his hand on the wheel of that Monte Carlo while having his other hand on the joystick of the R/C controller is hilarious! Applause for the director's sense of humor 🤣! !
I used to live on that street where they blew up the car. Clementina Street in SF. I remember not being able to go home from school because they were filming.

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Indeed, it was serious for some time and dark. I love 70s San Francisco atmosphere and the music's majestic and the opening just gets right into the film when Harry's theme starts playing.
back then, maybe, but today, with huge 1/5th scale and larger? this would be a much more fun chase if it was something like a Traxxas UDR or something similar. watching it launch off the roads.....
I can't help but notice the protective skid plates mounted under the chassis of both cars for the jump scenes, especially when they show the Olds in slow motion.
Do you remember that show with Lee majors when he jumped that big truck he was a retired stuntman and like bounty Hunter him and his partner had that big 4x4 truck and they would jump it in the front suspension broke that was on the title of the show I thought that'd be a good job they're always breaking those cars plenty of work saw your post thank you

@@matthewcaughey8898 I had one when it was 30 years old never broke down on me. Had anither one 10 years ago drove great and only time it did is when the battery died.
I always liked this scene as a kid. Even back then the explosion was way too over the top to survive. They probably realized that when the explosion went off and just had to go with the shot for budget reasons.
a 1/10 scale RC car like that, even today, would weigh about 18 pounds. Back in the 80's, more like 24. Ever had 24 pounds of crap hitting you while going 40+mph? It's like trying to catch a large sack of potatoes thrown from a 4th floor balcony. That's not "bumping into you", that's breaking your shin.
When Clint saw the script he must have thought...’ are you serious..?... a toy car going as fast as a normal car.... oh well as long as I get paid for this piece of shite...’😂😂😂
It was faster, the driver had to slow it down because it was going too fast in the original takes. It was an Associated RC10. Electric, off road buggy. The scene with the kids shows a stock version.
I remember this scene from 40 years ago when the film was released. SO RIDICULOUS. A) No way the signal carries that far B) City streets aren't "pool table smooth"...that car flips over after about 10 seconds.
I have a cheap RC receiver I use in my combat robot. Only cost $11 on ebay. With a cheapish transmitter and direct line of sight (assuming full batteries) the stats say it can work up to 3 miles away. I've tested mine at well over half a mile at ground level, with houses in the way, and it works.
@@Ryvucz True, True. However, was the bad guy's car ever more than a block away from his RC car? My 80's RC car could do that, and it was a cheap box-store special.
An earlier scene the guy getting into his car to play tennis was none other than the late great Mr. Bill Wattenberg radio talk show host from KGO 810 AM San Francisco. Also Jim Carrey had his movie debut in this film as the rockstar playing Axel Rose.
That was OLD San Francisco. Nowadays, the streets don't get that void of traffic until about 3AM. You couldn't even dream of driving like that without getting stuck behind some immigrant or double-parked delivery person.
Amazing battery and expl0sive this little car carries and the amazing skill this guy can control a little car while chasing in high speed... compared with this guy, Harry is really a kid!
The r/c car would have run out of battery power. There would be no space in the car for a bomb as well as the battery, motor and r/c controls. A bomb the size of that car couldn't make an explosion that big. It just doesn't have legs
I'm watching this scene now on AMC. It's really silly because they could have easily just gotten out of the car, but that's not very exciting. Anyway, the remote control car was fun to watch.
Going at those speeds (about 14-20 mph) a car about an 18th the size of a real car, like that RC car, is like a real life car going anywhere from 250 to 350 mph.
no, its like real life car going at 14-20mph and rest of the speed of the scale model will be used up to cover the distance which is the length of the real car.
Microvita Music - no, it's like a real car going 80 mph if the toy car rides on the sidewalk and into a grocery store. The car in pursuit is the real toy car, and Harry's car is like a bicycle but a really fast bicycle. By the time Harry's bicycle reaches the speed of the the toy car, it would be impossible to go downhill.
The amount of skillset you must have to control an R/C car and know what's in front of it without actually seeing it but also driving a real car at the same time isind blowing. That man must have a six sense

That's RC-10!! And many people who are into RC today would not understand the context here. This is the era way back when there was no 2.4GHz and you had to stay in your band (frequency) specified by a crystal.
This scene really put me off being chased through town by an explosives filled RC car. Beforehand I was fairly ambivalent to the prospect, but now, not so much...
The greatest Funniest car chase you will ever see. The car crashed into the curb then powered out with the wheelie was bananas 😂 I remember as a kid. I want a R/C Car after this.
It was actually and electric car and they added the nitro car audio. When the radios get crossed up the fact the car goes back and forth is a dead giveaway that it’s electric.
I have an '89 Oldsmobile Regency 98 Brougham. It has the 3.8 v6 with the 4 speed overdrive automatic transmission. The engine harness has been redone and it needs the fluids dumped. But it would probably run after that One of many car projects I need to finish. lol
Good stunt work before the days of computers and all this phony cartoon violence in movies now. I had a 1986 Olds Regency like the one Clint is driving they were one tough car. 3.8 V6 had tons of power and got great gas mileage. GM had great suspensions in these as well you can see very little body lean when going fast around those corners. It also had a very smooth ride and the body was well built and solid.
@@Santor- for the way I drive yes. I'm not still in HS or have a small dick so never had anything to prove. The obsession with power these days is stupid. I'd rather have great mileage. People already drive bad enough these days.
Thought it was a bit odd how there was no smoke & that it reversed but it had nitro rc car sounds lol. turns out it was a electric track car when i went through the article. I do like the RC10 buggy seen in the clip that the kids use first. Guessing this corvette was simply a similar chassis but made into a road car like kyosho did with one of their platforms later.
The RC10 is a Epic Old school TEAM ASSOCIATE buggy! I think they did a RE-RE but im not 100% on that as Im a TAMIYA fan Boy from the 80ś. There are much better buggy's available these days , I collect vintage stuff but I do have three losi xxx bk2 buggies and they handle so much better than any of my vintage cars.

RC car can do those speeds no problem. The wheelie was fake and the noise is from a nitro engined car, the one used is electric.
Realistically, all Harry needed to do was jump a curb, that would be like a 6-8' wall for the R/C car.
This car is about 1/10 scale. It's top-speed is probably around 25-30mph (250-300 scale mph)
Nowadays, the bad guys would just use a drone.

Yep, kids today don’t realize that the RC10 was the original true off-road racing machine.
So much engineering that when into is still used today.
this is my favourite car chase scene ever. not even in an ironic way. it's just awesome.
GTA 3 Toyminator you’re welcome.
i just love the sound effects on the cars during the jump scenes.
Such a wonderful battery timing at that era!
This scene really put me off being chased through town by an explosives filled RC car.
Beforehand I was fairly ambivalent to the prospect, but now, not so much...
A ground drone. Has anyone done that? EDIT: Yes! Tom Selleck's movie RUNAWAY. Anti-automobile ground drones.
This guy has serious hand-eye coordination skills. How the hell he drove a car and remote control car at the same time, nobody knows.
This has got to be the weirdest car chase seen I've ever witnessed in a movie
Tomorrow Never Dies has a life-sized remote control car chase, which is utterly awesome
@@CptnWolfe is that a Bond movie?
@@reginaldhall6871 yup
Better than cellphone driving.
Michael Bowie: 😂😂😂😂😂
I once saw an old lady talking on her phone with a huge dog in her lap while driving on the freeway.
The guys at Bullet and The 7 Ups are laughing their asses off.
Go you Dirty Harry. You go.
The greatest Funniest car chase you will ever see. The car crashed into the curb then powered out with the wheelie was bananas 😂 I remember as a kid. I want a R/C Car after this.
How long do batteries last on an rc car?
You got to love how fast cars from back then was
It was actually and electric car and they added the nitro car audio. When the radios get crossed up the fact the car goes back and forth is a dead giveaway that it’s electric.
It was cool to see the Alamo square and Cole Valley areas from that long ago - it pretty much looks the same.
Harrys partner is great to have on the staff party trivia nights. He knows all the maths questions.
Now I want that late 80s Oldsmobile regency
I have an '89 Oldsmobile Regency 98 Brougham. It has the 3.8 v6 with the 4 speed overdrive automatic transmission. The engine harness has been redone and it needs the fluids dumped. But it would probably run after that One of many car projects I need to finish. lol
You need the Golden Tiara edition. Comes with actual photo of princess Diana in the owners manual.
What gets me is that Harry and his partner had plenty of time during the chase to ditch their car and run for cover to safety.
Good stunt work before the days of computers and all this phony cartoon violence in movies now. I had a 1986 Olds Regency like the one Clint is driving they were one tough car. 3.8 V6 had tons of power and got great gas mileage. GM had great suspensions in these as well you can see very little body lean when going fast around those corners. It also had a very smooth ride and the body was well built and solid.
Tons of power? 600hp+? Yes? Golden Tiara edition with text in mirror "Peasants are closer than they appear"?
@@Santor- for the way I drive yes. I'm not still in HS or have a small dick so never had anything to prove. The obsession with power these days is stupid. I'd rather have great mileage. People already drive bad enough these days.
Dirty harry running for his life from R/C car is ridiculous
The RC Car really did said,Do You Feel Lucky today? Coz am not only going to outrun you and blast you into pieces 💥
I'd enjoy seeing this scene remade using 2019 radio controlled car tech!
Thought it was a bit odd how there was no smoke & that it reversed but it had nitro rc car sounds lol.
turns out it was a electric track car when i went through the article.
I do like the RC10 buggy seen in the clip that the kids use first.
Guessing this corvette was simply a similar chassis but made into a road car like kyosho did with one of their platforms later.
The RC10 is a Epic Old school TEAM ASSOCIATE buggy! I think they did a RE-RE but im not 100% on that as Im a TAMIYA fan Boy from the 80ś. There are much better buggy's available these days , I collect vintage stuff but I do have three losi xxx bk2 buggies and they handle so much better than any of my vintage cars.
Marcus60661 I laughed at them trying to pass an electric car for a nitro ;) no smoke, reversing ;)))
The Corvette was also an RC10
Absolute best car chase scene in action movie history
One of the best
This has got to be the one of the best Damm movies ever made I remember going to see this 2 times just to see this scene now I can watch it as many times as I want ..
Thank you..
Got some range on that little RC car.
Bet the killer's gun's got one of those magic refilling magazines, too...
I wish he told the lil car “you feelin lucky? PUNK then blew its hood off and the lil motor just whimpers out
50 years old and still have my rc10 an futaba like new.
Yep, both of mine still work and still fly.
Exploding toy cars were a big seller that year for Christmas.
Sheer Heart Attack has no weaknesses.
