 CONT: When Starsky and Hutch (and the Torino) get shot at by the  Korean gunman, Hutch frantically grabs the radio mike and calls in  the license plate number of the gunmans car, then hurriedly throws  the mike into the Torino and pursues the gunman. Moments later,  after the gunman escapes, the dispatcher radios back with the  license info and we see the radio with the mike neatly hung up on  the clip.
