In one of the Dirty Harry movies (Sudden Death, I believe) there is a scene where an RC car with a bomb is chasing after him. I remember seeing the "behind the scenes" for this movie and they stated that the RC car kept going too fast and overshooting the old heap they were using for DH's car. :)

I worked in the stock room for an electronics place and the guys there used to mod the RC cars being sold and race against one of the toy store's cars. We never lost the entire time I worked there. :)
