Clint Eastwood's "DEAD POOL" black corvette bodied RC10 I believe...driven by Jammin Jay Halsey, don't remember the year...seems like around 1990

"Dead Pool" was about '88. I was working a local hobby shop, and we built an identical replica of that car.

That thing was *BAD-A$$$$$$*!!! I believe it had a 9-turn drag motor in it with 10 cells if I recall...

Ocean's 11. The two brothers were at a Drag Strip. One in a full sized truck the other with a Nitro. They leave the line and down the track the one driving the full sized truck crosses over and runs over the R/C.

:D:D:D:D

In the movie WarGames there is a scene where the guy who designed the computer (W.O.P.R) is flying a remote controlled pterodactyl. Can't remember if it was a glider or powered.

In the first Stuart Little movie, there is a remote controlled sailboat race.

I think it was the movie "The Manhattan Project" where they used a Tamiya SUBURU Brat to drive through a storm drain at a Nuclear facility.

I don't remember what the movie was where they used a off-road truck in a a/c ducting w/ a camera ... seems like it was a cop movie (maybe even a tv show)

Punky Brewster had some R/C Racing on a show about 25 years ago too...
