ACTION U.S.A. car chase scene

Hilarious car chase (one of many!) from the obscure 1988 action flick ACTION U.S.A., an often corny but always entertaining stunt-filled extravaganza that is perhaps the best kept secret in all of action cinema. The film deals with a pair of Lethal Weapon-ish federal agents named Osborn and Panama trying to protect an attractive murder witness who also knows the location of some stolen diamonds the bad guys are willing to kill for. The high octane b-movie plays like an 80's action flick done in the vein of a 70's drive-in movie.

In this particular scene, the villainous henchmen Drago, Hitch, & Lucky, who at this point have taken Osborn hostage, just happen to bump into Panama and the woman they're really after at a gas station run by a little man wearing what looks to be an old cavalry uniform who speaks utter gibberish. Much car crashes, random explosions, and assorted chaos ensues.

No doubt the biggest question you'll be asking yourself after viewing this clip - aside from wondering where you can get a copy of this gem - will be just what the heck was in that bedroom?

Back in the 80s, federal laws required many things to be composed partially of TNT, as an effort to help the struggling US fertiliser industry.

I have to say, that explosion at 3:20 was totally badass!

LMMFAO! The house blew up for no reason! Bet this is one of Michael Bay's favorite flicks for that scene alone...

music suks but chase is nice

And i still can't understand why the house is blown

[twonine3]

What are the odds that station wagon would drive right through the town meth lab?That seems to be the only logical explanation for that blast.

@ioriorioriorio That wasn't a Pinto wagon; it was a full-size Oldmobile wagon. Either way a rediculous proposition, perfect fodder for a C-list action flick.
