Director Richard W. Munchkin's words, from hopesandfears.com:

"In Ring of Fire 2, we were going to do the biggest stunt that PM had ever done at the end of the film. The idea was to blow up a building. So, at the end of the movie, Don is on the top of this car with a bag of explosives, and what he is supposed to do is throw the bag of explosives in the car before the car sails off the side of a hill and crashes into the roof of a building, blowing the entire building up.

They had pyro guys out there for an entire week, prepping the building. What was sort of typical of PM’s pennywise, tomfoolishness was that we had only one car and that car had to do all of the driving and stunts, and then had to be used to drive into the building and blow it up. In a normal movie, you’d have a duplicate car, right?

So we did all of the driving stuff, and when it came time to sail it off the hill into the roof of the building, the car wouldn't start. They had every person that knew anything about a car working on it because it had to be done before the sun went down. No matter what they did, they couldn’t get it to start, but there was no way we weren’t shooting it that day.

They eventually decided to push the car with a truck down a hill and, when the car reached enough speed, the truck would jam on the breaks and the car would enter the frame and, hopefully, then sail onto the roof of the building. If you look at the movie, what ended up happening was that the car comes off this hill and goes down into the dirt nose first, and then just kind of falls against the wall of the building and the whole place blows up. In my mind, it just looks terrible, but we saved the money of having to get a second car."


The same car was also seen before in "C.I.A.: Codename Alexa" (1992).
