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.)
4:14 Harry's partner: "We're trapped! Let's get out and shoot the bad guy and his little car too." Harry: "No, let's just sit here and see where he's going with this."
@@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.
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.
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.

There is no way in hell as funny as this scene is, to drive the car 🚘 and remote R/C at the same time. Why Harry didn’t just get out of his car 🚗 and just blow the r/c is away is beyond me.

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.
They were definitely trying to make this something of a parody of the car chase scenes of the time. The RC car vaulting off a box of fruit instead of doing the traditional smash through a fruit stand is a nice touch.
I remember when the trailer for this film came out . The rc community was jumping for joy . This scene alone was like their Star Wars. Definitely recognize the Corvette Stingray body . I heard the Associated RC 10 was used which would make sense due to the metal chassis for the stunts. All the other manufacturers were using plastic/polymer platforms. One of the most expensive models at the time.
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 believe RCCA magazine did an article about the car and the movie in 1988. They modified a few RC10s and used a 1963 Parma body. The technical advisor and 'stunt driver' was a member of Team Associated. The legendary, Jammin' Jay Harris.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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..
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.
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
In 1940 the British were constructing Fougasse to stop a possible German invasion. It's a half-buried barrel/pipe with grenades at the bottom, cans of petrol and then any random scrap metal on top.
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
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.
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.
I loved all of the Dirty Harry movies except for this one. Ironically, I watched this movie the night before I saw Ant Man & The Wasp. One movie made me want to buy toys and the other one made Clint Eastwood look like a fool.

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..
Two cars at the same time and the sidewalk! Best video ever!
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
I didn't think those RC toy cars could do that! It must be new! And how much plastique could fit in that tiny trunk?
whoaaaooooo!!!!! that was the best scene of that movie without a doubt!
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
Fast forward to present date where China has small flying drones that explode on facial recognition ! What a lovely world !
I prefer this over ANY cgi car chase!
This R.C. car could be described as an I.E.D. from cinematic history. Makes me wonder just how far back in history have people been inventing I.E.D'S?
In 1940 the British were constructing Fougasse to stop a possible German invasion. It's a half-buried barrel/pipe with grenades at the bottom, cans of petrol and then any random scrap metal on top.
The wheels on the RC car would have to be rotating at around 100X that of Harry's car jyst to keep up.
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.
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 💥
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
50 years old and still have my rc10 an futaba like new.
Yep, both of mine still work and still fly.
I've seen this movie Soo many times and it's still great. It doesn't kill him
i just love the sound effects on the cars during the jump scenes.
4:44 you absolutely cant survive in an explosion like that
If you’re Harry Callahan yes you can
He backed up so the front of the car took the most of it
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.
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.
That was easily top 10 movie scenes for me
When the franchise jumped the 🦈
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.
what was his Hit Man name The Hobbyist
Was this during the lock downs of 2021? There's virtually no traffic to speak of.
This is so stupid, but I *love* it.
That concept was way ahead of its time.
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.
this is my favourite car chase scene ever. not even in an ironic way. it's just awesome.
I loved all of the Dirty Harry movies except for this one. Ironically, I watched this movie the night before I saw Ant Man & The Wasp. One movie made me want to buy toys and the other one made Clint Eastwood look like a fool.
This film set me on my rc journey. Love it.
1:34 definitely didn’t make that turn
He did
@@KingCeeedefinitely not cut the scene because he lost it 😂
@@bravobullz7475 He didn't
