RC in the movies!!!

[Cupooterluvr]

It just occured to me--wouldn't it be kinda cool if you saw your favorite nitro RC in a movie? I was thinking about it and I've never seen a hobby grade RC in a movie before. Does anyone know of a movie with one in it?

National Treasures Book of Secrets

There is a Heli in there when they are in France

 

[Cupooterluvr]

Is it a prop (actor uses it) or just scenery? Like some random guy just flying it in the background.

I wasn't wanting to see this one but I guess I have to now

Oh, and when in the movie is it?

Dead Pool, back in the early 80's; gold tub RC10 with more than 8 cells and a fairly hot motor, driven by Cliff Lett.

I knew it was a Clint Eastwood movie, but I couldn't think of that title. That's the BEST R/C you'll ever see in a movie. Black Corvette, loaded with explosives, trying to chase down and blow up a real car.
EXCELLENT chase scene on the hills of San Francisco.

You've GOTTA' put this on your 'must see' list.

Its in the middle....they fly up to get a clue off the Statue of Liberty....the original.

what is that movie where the kid had all the rc's? he had a few buggys, a plane, a monster truck, a heli, and a weird yodeling mountain climber guy..

oh and bad boys 2 has a nice monster truck in it but its all armied out.

I saw a movie recently with my wife/son that a had a T-Maxx in it. I'm not sure but I think it was Alvin and the Chipmunks, but I've slept since then so no guarantees.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

In Alvin, it was just a regular toy RC. I remember there was an RC car in one of the Home Alone movies. I forgot which one it was.

Yep, it was a Tamiya TXT

Pimp my ride did up a K-5 blazzer for a guy,he had a nitro maxx driving around while xzibit was at his house picking up the blazzer. They put a R/C style paint job on the K-5 and some dumbass tv monitors in mudflaps on the back???? It was pretty cool seeing the maxx on MTV though.

and
ugh NO
again


its a Traxxas E-maxx, Friends

 

[Plaidfish]

in Alvin it was an E-maxx...those bumpers are easy to to identify and that cheesy body was just a stock one without all the stickers on it....the hobby shop I used to work in as a kid (trade-n-hobbies) had a car the owner said was the one used in the Easwtwood movie.....if it wasn't it was a nice replica...I think it was an RC10L or whatever pan car model of the day was.....don't forget the tamiya brat in the manhattan project....

 

[Z400]

don't forget the tamiya brat in the manhattan project....

wow..

your right!!

 

[frickenjoey]

What about the monster truck in Ocean's 11? It was drag racing with a full sized MT... It must have been a custom job though.....

That thing was nice! Looked like a 1/5 FG Monster truck.

That would be Home Alone 3.

I could've sworn the dead pool car was a 1/8 scale nitro car. I think there might be another movie from the 80's with an rc... Eddy, you're really old, what am I thinking of?

Driven by Jay Halsey.

 

[HeartBreak]

Wow. I coulda sworn Lett was behind the wheel of the infamous black rc10. It wouldn't surprise me if ol' Jammin' Jay was the wheel man.
