    Hey guys! Thanks to location expert Marv, we've found Farland Enterprises, and you'll never believe it - it's the SAME building used as the County Museum in "Chariot of Gold"! The filming location for this episode is around the left side. Check it out! 20525 Nordhoff Street #39, Chatsworth, CA 91311. It's also where Michael sabotages the power. Thanks Marv!

      doors 66, 68 and 69 can be seen at 9014 Mason ave on google earth. only the 8 remains and door 69 is missing the numbers entirely. The building looks like it is still used for location filming, as there is a crew set up in the front glass.

    @6:35 that is Albuquerque - the bridge in the lower left is Odelia rd where it crosses I-25. The camera is looking South West. The area has been built up considerably in the last 40 years. But there are a couple of key markers - one being the Lovelace medical center at the far left of the frame - another being the post office on Broadway, - the large single story building right of center.

    For instances like the Harbor view House or ports of call in street view, where it was either torn down or renovated. You can view older images with Google street view by choosing "See more dates" in the top left of the screen and then choose an older image. That way you can see what it looked like before the scaffolding was put up.

    42:00 This shot is located at the Junction of Terminal Way and Ferry Street. In the shot shown at 41:08, there are four windows on the left of the shot that give it away. These Windows feature on the South side of the Terminal Island Water Reclamation Plant building.

    The scene at 23:56 can clearly be seen on Google Street view. It is listed as 100 W 10th Street and you have to look at an old view. It can be seen from 2020 and before. The fire escape, wall, and windows all match!

      Indeed. It was pretty easy to find that way. Does Joe not know this function? 🤔 Joe, if you read this, click on 'See more dates' on the right of the date you see in the top left rectangle which lists the adress when in street view. 😀

    To the Knight Rider Historians:
    I've heard you have mentioned The Vincent Thomas Bridge was featured on this episode. That bridge was also featured on the 2000 remake of Gone in 60 Seconds that starred Nicholas Cage, where his character made that jump to get away from the police with his 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang named "Eleanor".
    Sadly, this is the same bridge where Top Gun's Director, Anthony Scott, took his own life from.
    And just like this episode where they had paid tribute to RA Cinader, the same with Top Gun: Maverick for Tony Scott.

    @SWGT 3 місяці тому +3

    8:15 is 10538 Magnolia Blvd, North Hollywood, 14:30 is a location that was already featured in the episode where Bonny was sort of hypnotized to get KITT to attack Michael. I don´t know the name right now. It´s 20525 Nordhoff Street, Chatsworth (side of the building). And I also checked the online white pages as I discovered this location 2 years ago : 20525 was also used by Marantz in the 80´s. Therefore the shots of the electronics must be from inside the building. 24:46 is in front of the brick wall of 2221 Signal Street in San Pedro. It´s still there today.

    • @BrooksMoses
      @BrooksMoses 2 місяці тому

      Wow, that Nordhoff Street building is quite a fascinating piece of architecture! I can imagine a location scout would have said "I may not know what I'm using this for but I know I'm using it for something" as soon as they saw it.
      Also, in the 16:11 shot where he asks "what else do we see", we can just see the quarter-circle curve where the roof over the side entrance curves down, which is a very distinctive feature of the building. It's one of those things where if you don't know to look for it you miss it, but once you know, it stands out as a thing that could have been a very strong clue.

    Very cool locations 👍 The thought of Chariot of Gold museum occurred to me from that building with glass wall, and from the comments below, seems that is indeed the place.
    Somehow the building also brings KITT's dash in mind, the sloping part would be the voicebox, and the glass walls KITT's readout panels :D Maybe it's just my weird imagination :P

    Hey Joe, I'm not sure you could get much closer on the Ferry St at 42:00, the bridge angle looks identical. It may have been down the street at Eldridge St also a little closer to the bridge.

    Another great video. It must be fun and a lot of work tracking down all these obscure locations. I'm not sure if this fits in with your channel, but in the world of video games, Microsoft has released Universal Studios downloadable content for Forza Horizon 5. This includes KITT, the Back to the Future Cars and a Jurassic Park 4WD. The recreation of KITT seems very faithful to Knight Rider and includes a detailed interior and the scanner bar. Sadly it doesn't come with any Knight Rider storylines, KITT's voice or any human characters but it's just fun to drive around Mexico in KITT. If you search for Forza Universal DLC, you'll get the trailer.

    In regards to where Micheal is boosted out of Kitt to climb up the fire escape, i can confirm it is at the back of Harbor View House. If set the date on google street view to march 2019 you can see the windows in question and the fire escape.

      @@BrianKitching-wv5nh Season 1 is my favourite too. Really like the dynamic between Michael and KITT, snitching on Michael to Devin and Bonnie, KITT scolding Micheal with his intelligence, KITT not understanding what a vacation is, Michael and Bonnie’s will they, won’t they dynamic, and the whole concept of a guy and his house riding into a new town where trouble seems to happen. Season 4 has to be the worst for me, still to this day I haven’t watched the entire season
