** In "Shot at Dawn", a remote control toy car filed with explosives is run up alongside an old man in a wheelchair, although his friend manages to hurl it away before it explodes.

* Mexican telenovela "Muchachitas" main villain, Federico Cantú, uses remote control toy car filled with explosives as his signature attack. He was obsessed with cars, both real and toys, since in his childhood he was very poor and his first toy car was stomped by a bully in school. Then later, he killed some people with these bombs, the most significant one was, precisely, his school bully, who he pursues using the RC bomb and cornered in a place where, finally, he tried to stomp on the car just as it exploded.
