I love the way Kitt says "Oh good!" Like, he's genuinely excited to use his new mode again so soon. 🤣
He’s turned on 😏
He sounded sarcastic to me.
its "ALL good"
Dont blame him after getting slammed about like he did I would be happy travelling at near 200mph too.
they really tried to sell the new mods to the audience hard ha ha
Street Hawk, Airwolf, and of course Knight Rider = the holy trinity of futuristic vehicles. Those shows made my childhood fun.
And viper that was a good futuristic car show
Don't forget Automan.
Don't forget another one of my faves the highwayman ,a truck that turned into a helicopter brilliant show
And Mac Gyver too
You Missed out Blue Thunder
I am 40 now and SPM still gives me chills when it pops out.
It does for me to, but when I was younger. Seeing him going at 200mph at maybe 70mph in real time now makes me laugh. Just shows the effects back then were amazing
Just to let y’all know…I was the one that came up with the “SPM” feature on K.I.T.T. The writers & network STOLE my idea & NEVER PAID 💰 me. 😡
My words exactly
@@ajam27 Part of the SPM was switching to KPH. 😺
45 in a few months... SPM is like Airwolf hitting the turbo's. Woosh.
K.I.T.T is everything we want a Tesla to be...😅
🤣🤣
💯
Yeah, well, kitt did get there first with the 'celebration mode' that Tesla has.
Tesla took KITT and made an iPhone on wheels.
I'm not buying a Tesla until it has Turbo Boost.
Ahhhhh the good old super pursuit mode. How I miss seeing that. What a great show. I was raised on this and it never gets old. The music, the car, the name Knight.
Same here bud! Heres to us and the 80s!!🍻👍🏼😎
Yeah...super pursuit is a frigging jet!! Love how Kitt can do every imaginable and even not imaginable!! Cheesy acting but entertaining
We didn't even notice the cheese as kids, everything about the show was awesome.
Wish I could get back that pure enjoyment. Now I rant and shake my fist at stupid plots and idiot characters :(
I always liked Season 4 more, probably its the only full memory I have of watching Knight Rider as a kid, I do remember bits from season 3 especially Kitt vs Karr but season 4 to me was the best of the lot, even the soundtrack sound better.
F1 engineers laugh hard seeing that
That could have ended very badly on a number of occasions with the turbo boost button right next to the eject button.
Valid point! Lmao. Slip of the finger.
AAhhh ShIIIEeeetTt
How about running out of gas 🤣
😂😂Whoops
Hmm. The button next to the SPM or Super Pursuit Mode button (which I think you are calling turbo boost) is the EBS or Emergency Braking System button, not an Eject button.
1:57 "Michael, don't forget, I have no molecular bonded shell."
3:34 Wow, despite no molecular bonded shell, KITT still made that Turbo Boost landing in one piece without making a dent.
Exactly broken suspension atleast and dead man from the ramrod
KITT supposedly has rockets launching it into the air and maybe helping steer it toward a controlled landing, and you wouldn’t make a car that can fly without making the suspension as strong as aircraft landing gear.
So the molecular bonded shell is completely gone for the remainder of the series?
Yes I thought that when I was a kid. How does he survive jumps like that without his shell?
@@mjb12ification I belie e it is. I dont remember ER them e ER saying it was reapplied to him.
K.I.T.T. is the reason why I watched Knight Rider in the 1980's when I was a little kid and I was in school when the show was on for 4 years between the years of 1982 to 1986 and I never forgotten about the show at all because I was a die hard fan of the show itself and I think it's just a honor to say something Awesome about the show itself lol
My fiance named her first Cat KITT after KITT from Knight Rider
KITT can be seen at the warner brothers movie world (its a theme park) in Gold Coast, Australia.
I have exactly a same memory with you got here in Korea. I was 16 yrs old :)
Me too...the Best series
I watched in my neighbor. Private TV broadcaster needed a color TV and I didn't have one
2:14 Wow. KITT was truly the car of the future. It was even the first to introduce RGB lighting on the gas pedal!
Nope... only G. (green)
"You've got exactly 22 seconds to get rid of that ram rod' ... that's what she said
This used to be my show when I was a kid. I remember when KITT got messed up and they brought him back better than ever.
No reboot can hold a torch to the original show !!! And Mr H !!!
They always try to go to far with it! The original show could use some modern tricks to make better use of kitt being indestructible but what we seen with the mustang on that reboot lol well that was to far IMO.
But spinoff can. 🚗
Shashi Jain, Oh yes a reboot can and it does, since the mustang KITT is so much better and more advanced. Yes. I do favor Ford over Pontiac
@@davidross5593 too bad the 2008 show didnt last long compare to the OG. lol
@@jeffstrains4014 You can say that again . The 2008 reboot started out cool and then all the sudden I wasn't sure if I was watching knight Rider or transformers.. But you have to admit the mustang Kitt was a cool car and the new michael knights acting was on Parr for the show . And Val Kilmer as Kitt was also great . In my opinion, I think they need to break put the mustang again , Begin where the show left off but also completely reboot it .
None of the transformer fuckery .
Stick to basics . Maybe a new version of goliath? Or perhaps Bring back Karr as a different vehicle like they had done with Kitt . Maybe as the technology was stolen or something . Or perhaps they could intergrate a new version of airwolf in to the series and make a spin off airwolf TV show .I think it could happen .
So ahead of it's time. KITT was AI with personality, character, morals and loyalty. A truly smart car.
Old skool is so much better than anything on TV now. David really does a great job with this role. Even though it was bad acting and cheap effects, the series was fun and classic.
I agree but i love the new sequel to, i said sequel as it had the og Michael knight handing the keys off to the next knight rider
@@wolfielps4411 I did too. Too bad that one didn't last long enough to build an audience.
The script and pacing are what makes or breaks a show. Good special effects are always appreciated, but they won't save a bad script.
as a kid we could let that slide so long as they kept the action going. Love cheesy 80s tv now. so fun to watch these days. simpler times.
His acting was hammy at times but he did an amazing job of selling us on the whole talking car thing. He and William Daniels never shared a scene - in most of his interactions with KITT he was talking to himself. Daniels’ voice was dubbed in later on. Creating such on screen chemistry under those circumstances must have been a challenge.
Besides the introduction "Super pursuit mode" which, I always thought was visually interesting but aerodynamically ridiculous, the one thing that always stood out to me in this episode is that the "Juggernaut" was a modification of the "Roadox" from the 3D B-movie "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone"
Is it really aerodynamically ridiculous? Looks kind of visually ridiculous to me... But wouldn't all those silly wings make more downforce? Not sure what all the stuff is supposed to be for guess there was no budget to make flames shoot out the back or something. Juggernaut reminds me of the Dildozer 🤣
Well, KITT's front scamner is a modification of Galactica's Cylon eye.
Jesus Christ, even as a little kid watching this show I could see cynical producers needing to put some new "razzle dazzle" candy on the screen to try and keep audience interest. This "upgrade" was always dumb, even to my 8-year-old sensibilities.
I have a feeling it was inspired in the Countach 5000QV with it's scoops and delta wing that just added more drag lmao
Well that's hollywood, it would have been cost prohibitive to have built a beast like that from the ground up. Studios are always looking for ways to cut costs without compromising on quality.
Super Pursuit Mode was such a cool feature. As a child I loved it and I still do today. It totally sucks that Knight Rider ended after 4 seasons. I always wondered what other cool new upgrades KITT might have gotten if the show went on longer.
And I love «C» mode, as well!
3:49
4WD like The Viper Defender did in The NBC 1990' s Series Viper
Would love to see Kitt & Viper Defender team up
Yeah..They put a stop to the show due production cost going higher and higher
Super Pursuit Mode was the killing blow to this series imho
It was for me back then, as a big fan of the original KITT.
It was on the bubble at this point. We were lucky to even get this season.
Agreed. A bunch of pop up plastic that made kitt look ridiculous. Nothing wrong with the original design of the car.
They had run out of plot lines at that point.
I didn’t know the turbo button made the car shoot 50 feet up in the air to go over buildings. Also the pursuit mode had him going 138 mph while he was making a sharp turn onto the runaway. Amazing handling.
Thinking the same thing. I don’t remember Turbo Boost jumping 50 ft in the air over buildings
@@edsta714 --- What about OVER a frigging Semi???? The very first episode. The pilot episode. KNIGHT OF THE PHOENIX.
@@mana_beast_beats1114 ko
They knew how to build REAL cars, back in the 80's!;)
I don't think "turbo boost" meant what they thought it meant. There was one episode where Kitt was buried underground and a cheeky turbo boost blasted him out from a stationary start.
KITT was so ahead of its time.
Still is
@@kitt28 A brand new version from Trans/AM Depot, but retroed to the Gen-Three body?
There was a guy I knew when I lived in the Bay Area of CA. He had a version of KITT, Ecto-1, the Mystery Machine and the 1960’s Batmobile. Those were fun times.
I love how Michael shouted "TURBO" then pressed the turbo button. I am adopting this method when driving. INDICATE! turn on indicators, HORN! press horn. Beep.
lol
I guess you have never heard of the japanese? They actually do shout out some of their actions before doing it, to increase focus and what not.
I don’t know all the details, but I know they do stuff like this in some industries 😁
Classic I do love how in super persuit mode also anyone walking in the background also engages super pursuit mode.
I love how Michael announces the buttons he's about to press!
After Goliath, they fell in love with roaring vehicles.
Why I liked airwolf as well
It's amazing how effective the turbine engine sounds are at making KITT seem badass!
Michael and KITT are my heroes ❤️
"TURBO!!" K.I.T.T. launches 20 feet in the air, no ramp.
glen a larson knew how to make things fly
😂😂lol
thats why it is KITT
KITT loved his new looks. Especially Super Pursuit Mode. 😅😅
The 80's and the legendary Knight Rider show. You couldn't go wrong when it was on T.V.
The favourite battles of course, was K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R. (both parts).
K.I.T.T. vs Goliath
And, K.I.T.T. vs Juggernaut.
I also like how T.C. added the C button in K.I.T.T. to transform into a convertible 😊
I believe Knight Rider was the first show to portray how GPS and voice command would work in the future.
"KITT, plot me a course." 😎👍
Good point, but then again science fiction often times precede actual inventions. They show us how such technologies can impact our lives.
Michael: "Time for Super Pursuit Mode"
KITT & the audience: "Oh good"
They used to have one of the KITT cars on display at Universal Studios Hollywood. You could go in it and talk to KITT (I lined up for that and thought I was talking to the real KITT as a kid lol) they probably had a voice actor with a radio hiding nearby lol. Awesome show, one of the best from the 80s!
And from this point on...
Michael: "KITT, I have to take out the trash"
KITT: "Ok"
Michael: "Let's use Super Pursuit Mode"
KITT: "Good idea"
*Super Pursuit Mode sequence.
Michael: "KITT, I have to go shopping"
KITT: "Ok"
Michael: "Let's use Super Pursuit Mode"
KITT: "Good idea"
*Super Pursuit Mode sequence.
Michael: "KITT, We have to go slow this time, they can't see we are following them"
KITT: "Ok"
Michael: "Let's use Super Pursuit Mode"
KITT: "Good idea"
*Super Pursuit Mode sequence.
Right?! It was a tad overused, wasn’t it? Haha
Also Michael: "KITT, let's not use Super Pursuit Mode unless we have to."
This stock sequence we filmed was expensive, we are using it!
1:46 - KITT: “My comprehensive configuration analysis denotes no outward weak spots in that monster. An explosion contact detonator has been added to the ramrod since our last meeting.”
Michael: “That’s the bad news.”
KITT: “Michael, don’t forget. I have no molecular bonded shell.”
Michael: “No, but we have learned a few things since our last encounter. Alright, let’s not use Super Pursuit Mode unless we have to.”
About 8-7 days ago the Knight rider 2000 turned 30 years old!
I only count the original 4 season show as canon. Everything else - including 2000 - under the name Knight Rider was trash.
Where does time go!
KNIGHT RIDER AND FAST & FURIOUS TOGETHERS: FANTASTIC!!!
I love the way Michaels one punch was enough for the villain to give up
subdued him to be compliant too
@@thespacesbetweenstudio3346Kinda like mom with the "one pop" slipper 🥿💥😵💫
KITT: Michael, the plane!
Michael: Gotcha, pal.
80s babies unite. this show had everyone of us clamoring 4 a KITT KAR.🤩🤩🤩
SPM sounds 80’s don’t it man I was born in 74 all these shows were the bomb
Juggernaut is the vehicle from space hunter adventures in the forbidden zone
I was wondering about that. It seemed like a lot of work to fabricate such a vehicle for a single ep of Knight Rider
5:07 If the Devin impersonator was going to give up that easy, he should have just turned himself in.
3:23 lol🤣🤣🤣🤣
The tank has the same growling sounds as garthes truck!! 😁😆
Same sound effects Dept at Universal
Same sound as the truck in Duel as well.
Its a standard feature on all vehicles that can take down kitt
I guess universal added the same sound effects for Goliath and the this tank to add some drama to the series what ever good for Goliath is good for the armored tank 😆
Did they not realize that destroying KITT wouldn't be so easy this time? The first time, they had surprise on their side. This time Michael and KITT were ready for them.
Great memories!!
as a kid Super Pursuit Mode was cool, as an adult I realize. They decided to create a mode that actually makes the car LESS Aerodynamic and somehow that makes it go faster.
The Rule of Cool applies.
@@Obstinate28 When you got cool you don't need school. 😎
Like wearing shades at night.
Love the "rocket explosion" sound when super pursuit mode activates. LOL
I need a Knight Rider and Fast and Furious cross over. That would be cool! 😃
Michael Knight: Let's Hit Super Pursuit Mode Again.
KITT: By All Means.
As seen on Knight Rider Historians, SPM & C has been an ultra cool pair of new functions.
well i have a lot of knight rider fans and they hate season 4 cause of that Trash SPM
“Search the city for a heavy truck” is a hilarious request.
2:55 - how did the ram rod not catch up lol! 😂 the wonders of TV editing
Quick acceleration.
ah maybe its cause the ram rod is a 25,000 pound tank, and KITT is 3,000 pounds, i dont care if that ram rod had F-16 after burners on the back it still wouldnt have caught up.
I wish, night rider was still on netflix
Remeber watching Knight rider when I was a kid, and had a good memories. But now I am barely managing to watch it through this short clip 😂
KITT deserves to be a transformer like Optimus Prime ❤❤❤
The Super Pursuit Mode is literally when Knight Rider Jumped the Shark. They turned a cool looking car into something ridiculous.
This is one of the extremely rare occasions in the series where Michael actually kills someone. And it is actually a violation of KITT's dominant program to take the action that ends up taking a human life.
Mickey didn't kill. That dude just ran into a flammable truck himself. :D
KITT didn't kill anyone. KITT simply got out of the way. No sense in coming between two vehicles determined to get closer together. Why break up such a beautiful couple?
The guy probably didn't die, he was wearing a colour coordinate bowl-cut crash helmet.
@@plowe6751 The :D didn't give you a hint, righ?
there was no other way.
The "tank" looks like it came from the movie Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone
Exactly what I was gonna post. Retread lol.
I love it when kitt says "oh good!" When michael says its time to go into super presuit mode
Funny how KITT turned into the best teacher ever for Corey, Topanga, Eric and Shawn :)
Love Mr. Feenyyyyy!!! 💜
I’m in my early fifties and it still excites me when I see KITT transform into his new mode
cant believe how fresh this still feels
"let's make it super un-aerodynamic in order to go faster!"
As a Chicago Bears fan, I find it funny how K.I.T.T. says Soldiers Field instead of Soldier Field.
Before Tony Stark, we have Michael Knight first who learns from his mistakes. 😅😂🤣😄
Stark is before Knight's time lmao
ironman came out in the 60s. i dont think we would have any tech show including this show if it where not for ironman.
I was so addicted to this show back in the 80’s!
So was I. I also had a crush on Patricia McPherson.
@@Rambo-Gaming me too! And I was a kids lol
you can still be now. you can get these ether dvd or blue-ray. i have all seasons on dvd and i got some hot wheel cars of kitt and karr. love knight rider.
These were the shows that was enjoyable to watch with family
A famous footballer who lived down a friends road had one if these!
Stunning car up close.
Still had buttons on every panel!
Despite my misgivings for season four this was actually a good opener
Same here
Only a couple stand out. Killer KITT. Deadly Knightshade and scent of roses
Samuel kittnap was good
@@606danco : Kittknap was GREAT!!
Opener was awesome!! Chicago of course lol
K.I.T.T’s turbo boost launched him way higher than usual. I wonder how high it can actually jump and land without breaking the suspension or Michael’s back.
With Hasselhoff being so tall and having to get in and out so quickly my last watch through you could see the drivers seat breaking on a few shots in a way familiar to anyone who has or knows someone whose had a hoopty 80s car.
I grew up watching KITT from the mid to late 1980's...👍👍
Fonzie had his sharks, Indiana Jones had his refrigerator, Knight Rider had his super pursuit mode
Love how everyone had a evil double except April & RC
well RC kinda did in Knight Song, Keith raise him and took care of RC and RC looked up to him, you could say that Keith was his evil double, i said KINDA.
i love SPM but the 300+ mph on city streets was just overkill
he never went 300+ in this episode, only went up to 250mph in SPM.
LOLLL
Super pursuit mode was so ridiculous LOL
Oh yeah... Call me Ishmael.... Devon Novile..😁 Michael got his own back in the end!! 😉👍
It’s amazing how KITT can maneuver so well in Super Pursuit Mode.
Everyone’s OG during the fast rewind🤣🤣🤣
I forgot how action packed this show was! 😂
That jump was nuts, a fine job again Mr Night what a gentleman.
Love to see this series again after more than 35+ years ago ...
Juggernaut was a beast
I can feel the speed through the screen. 🤩
I love the flap on the roof that goes straight up, like that actually helps the car stop faster. LOL
Street Hawk had the same system. Just as laughable.
Ah, the memories; and to think I can relive them anytime I want since purchasing the series on DVD.
Was that anti-assault vehicle SUPPOSED to look like an armored anteater on ATV tires? Blowing it up actually improved it immensely.
Super Pursuit Mode is what killed it for me. It's supposed to make K.I.T.T. way faster but they took one of the most aerodynamically perfect cars ever made and added tons of drag to it. If they wanted to make an obvious transformation that would've also actually made the car faster and handle better, they should've had a series of panels come down and seal air out from under the car and also create front downforce and then have a retractable rear spoiler like you see on a lot of newer super cars to add rear downforce and keep the rear wheels planted to the ground.
Sadly they didn't exactly have aerodynamicists on the show, afaik
@@Fayheurblode You don’t need to be an engineer or physicist to realize that having something protrude from a smooth surface creates aerodynamic drag 🤦🏻♂️
@@pirate772009 now, that’s common knowledge, but I am not sure if it was so widely known at the time… And I agree there were better ways to allow the car to be faster than putting so many things out in the airstream
It's a goofy 80s show about a jumping car and youre questioning why its not as sophisticated as modern cars aerodynamics. Realistically that model of the Trans Am could do 0 to 60 in about 9 seconds. So surely it isn't going 200 Mph regardless of the aeros, probably would have trouble getting past 130 mph. Sudpend disbelief and enjoy the goofy goodness.
You are entirely correct, but.... this is a show about a sentient car that has all sorts of features that only exist when they are needed, and then are replaced by others.... it supposedly has some sort of jet engine powering it, can jump 50 feet into the air without damaging anything on landing... and actually drove on water once.
So... the only thing that mattered when it came to Super Pursuit Mode is that it looked cool.. and that it looked cool primarily to younger viewers who don't care too much about the science of aerodynamics.
That said, I was about 12 or 13 when Knight Rider entered season four... and even then I recognized that this was just a gimmick to try to revive interest in a show with sagging ratings, and I didn't find it all that engaging.
Why does he say things so dramatically like “turbo” before pressing a button?🎉🎉😂😂 classic. Long live the 80s
I still want an accelerator pedal with LED's on it, that's one of the coolest parts of KITT.
The super pursuit mode was like when the 80's cartoon tv show transformers made them combine together as one to make a super transformer!
FUN FACT: Contrary to popular belief, none of the S.P.M. cars survived after the end of the series. After the 1982 trainwreck derailment of new Camaros and Pontiacs that were damaged and written off, Universal Studios made a deal with Pontiac to use some of the damaged cars for the series allowing the production crew to use the cars anyway they wanted to. However, Pontiac's only stipulation was that all the cars used on the series that came from the trainwreck were mandated by Pontiac to be destroyed after the end of the series. After the series was over, a large wrecking ball was dropped on each car, and then they all went to the crusher.
Man, I used to love this show and never asked any questions about any of it. XD
Now I'm just sitting here laughing at how often KITT just launches into the air with the press of a button.
5:06 He gave him the "Be quiet and think about what you did" punch.
Now we all know that without the molecular shield kitt wouldn't have survived that jump lol
I always like this show. I watched it when it first aired. Hated KITT being an GM but you can't have everything.
Rumor has it that K.I.T.T. was originally supposed to be a Datsun 280ZX before producers noticed the new Trans-Am body.
It's so cute that for the higher speed pursuit mode, you push out a lot of body parts that don't help with the downforce and also make the drag coefficient worse at the same time :D
i luv when the super pursuite mode ppops out. at 43 acting like im 5 screaming at that scene hahaha.
Just love how 80's movies all come with a complimentary super suspension mode stock lol
Hilarious how Super-Pursuit Mode likely gave the car the aerodynamics of a parachute with a drag coefficient of a Jeep Wrangler but somehow made it faster regardless of physics.
It just made the car look cooler.
I think it was inspired in a US spec Countach that had a front bumper that looked like a wing
Super Pursuit Mode is so fast, it changes K.I.T.T's vent angles once he arrives at the airport LOL
0:44 angled
1:38 Parallel to the ground and subsequent shots of the top rear vents apart from 3:56 when it's angled again (exact same footage as 0:44) - got to love how inconsistent they made these cars and none of us was probably the wiser back then with the TV sets in the 80's.
KITT said "Soldier's Field"! right on my boy!
