    It was the best scene in the movie! Memorable, funny. Unique. It's the Dirty Harry's "Crop Duster scene- North By Northwest."

          Totally hilarious! A 4-door Oldsmobile chased by a little black Corvette chased by a Monte Carloyou gotta love it. Especially when the little Corvette spins out and hits a curb, then gets back up and pops a wheelie down the road. Classic.

            are you serious- i thought that was just Awesome, As i built an exact replica of that black stingray vette team associated rc10- except i did not blow it up just put up in a display case - heck even my wife thinks its hot!! i mean come on - while i will grant the story line may not have been excellent it was not bad not too mention you get a legend in movies such as Clint Eastwood, lots of guns blazin, some cool lines, a bit of romance, and one of the greatest car scenes in history that involves a remote control car - talk about Fun!

              Interestingly, there's an identical gimmick involving remote-controlled cars filled with explosives in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "The Grey Ghost".

                      Throughout the chase, and then especially when they all stop in the alley, I kept wondering why they didn't just step out of the car and walk away.

                        IMO it was a clever idea that probably would have worked better in a comedy instead of a cop thriller like 'The Dead Pool'.

                          Pretty stupid 🙂 But definitely a different, funny and exciting SF car chase.

                            I thought it was hysterically absurd. My favorite scene of the movie by far.

                              He should have just back up over it and crushed the damn thing. That would have been more of a true Dirty Harry moment.

                                The more I think about it the less I think the OP (and some others of us) actually got it
                                Clint was playing games with us in this one, finishing off the franchise with something that took the rise out of Dirty Harry just a little and played out the themes or action sequences from the other movies in the franchise.
                                The RC car chase is just one example:
                                We have a total psycho serial killer a la Dirty Harry (and questionably in Sudden Impact) as the main bad guy.
                                We have a car chase with a bomb involved a la Magnum Force.
                                Harry survives against people with machine pistols and takes them all out pretty much without a scratch - The Enforcer
                                Harry gets a bigger gun (harpoon gun) - Sudden Impact (auto-mag) and Enforcer (LAWS rocket).
                                Just a thought

                                  completely goofy. As if they wanted to lighten the flickhowever, this is a Dirty Harry movie. The name of the topic is vengeance and justice for crimes too insane to contemplate. Being comedic is both unnerving and off the regular track of the rest of the series.
                                  Besides how much explosives can a model car carry, anyway? Why didn't bad guy just attach a bomb to the underside of Harry's car and hit a button while he peeled out?

                                    It seemed to me that they would have had time at some point to jump out of the car and run away.

                                      It was original, if nothing else.

                                        It was so laughable. I couldn't believe it was something they would throw into a Dirty Harry movie. It's like something out of a spoof movie. Although this whole movie is somewhat of a joke, especially compared to the first couple DH movies

                                          The toy car chase was just pathetic jobbies. The movie was a turd. I just saw the complete film for the first time and I was SO disappointed. All that hammy horror movie stuff, like an episode from The Monkees or something equally cheap and gimicky. Pure rubbish.
