I love how KITT tells Michael, who can’t hear him, that he can’t hear him 🫠
KITTs naivety in the 1st season always made me chuckle.

@1:55
He dents the door !! 😳
Man he's strong
Back in the 80s when tires used to make squealing noises on dirt.
Mummm,y cooke ijkommja
yeah why did they stop doing that now? Did they change the way they make them?🤔
How very curious 🤔
It’s a good thing K.I.T.T was able to rotate his turbo booster. He and Michael nearly went over that cliff 😬
Imagine if it didn't rotate and just Turbo Boosted normally off the cliff, then the credits ended there? 😆
Long Lost Puss That would’ve been tragic.
@@Longlostpuss
It tends to be rather hazardous for a TV shows ratings, to kill off its star character. So why not a lousy fix of a plot hole, "Just rotate your turbo-booster."? "Sorry, Michael, I can't fix an engineering shortcoming, just because you need me at the moment to come up with a better solution." Why let reality rain upon the parade of TV make-believe?
Kitt new they could not stop so he would have rotated his turbo booster on his own
Love the tyre screeching sound effects, even though the car is on dirt.
2:52 - That's the story of my life, right there. I work on something complicated. I get frustrated. Then somebody comes out of nowhere and makes it look easy.
4:59 - Law of gravity takes precedent, which is why the car was able to halt to a complete standstill on the cliff edge of a virtually vertical gradient and then reverses all the way back up without losing any traction.
Loved this scene when I was a kid, but laughable now watching it back as adult.
Thanks professor.
Michael, you're going to be very proud of me, I did exactly what you wanted :D
I love how it doesn't occur to KITT whatsoever to _not_ let them push them over the cliff
Dang that guy had quite the punch at 1:59
35 years later am still watching it.
Me to...lol
lol
"One man can make a difference." Such a great theme of _Knight Rider_ , never gets old. If only modern TV shows could be so virtuous.
40 years later and I’m (STILL) watching it too!!!!
'Stop the car' - he should've said 'Stop Kitt'. 😂
KITT isnt the car, KITT is the CPU, a computer, the Voice of the Knight Industries 2000, K.I.T.T. in season 2 episode 9 soul survivor michael explains it
"You'd be so proud of me, I let them drive me up here and then let them push me over a cliff with you inside."
That didn't make any sense at all
@@thegodfather1907 that went well over your head I see
Rude much? This sence is part of the show. It was supposed to happen like that. It's part of what brings the show alive.
@@makayla3563 the sarcasm went over your head too I see
Computer A.I. within so many examples of sci-fi, often gets it not-quite-right. Strangely disturbingly like flawed human reasoning. But perhaps that is due to the human writers. I kind of suspect that computers are supposed to be so fast, that KITT should have run 1000s of scenarios right then, "This is not looking good. Let's apply the brakes early, so as to be cautious."
I like how they gloss over the fact that these strangers drove KITT and we don't see them work out how to turn KITT on.
Towed him maybe?
He allowed them to drive him, as he knew it was part of Michaels plan
1:10 Thanks for the exposition, KITT
1:58 actually dented the car when he hit it🤣🤣🤣
Your eyes deceive you man,everybody knows KITT's shell is 3 inches thick of bullet proof metal.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@giovannisocci8793 bullet proof? Not even 3 diamond drills could make a scratch iirc
5:08 fire extinguisher in the hood. What a FX!
It's hilarious how hard he tries to open the car and gets so mad after the best ways do literally nothing to KITT then the other guy just walks up and opens the door without an issue
thatsthejoke.jpg
Michael: Just hit the brakes!
KITT: I am hitting the brakes.
**Brakes hitting intensifies**
@
*_-"STOP THE CAR!!!!!!!!"-_*
I thought kitt was just gonna drive off with him. I thought he had complete control over the situation but I guess not.
1:58 he leaves a dent after where he punched the car from frustration.
lol, this guy hits harder than bullets
**uses knife to try and break in...fails** "I know, Ill use a _bigger_ knife!"
we got a real genius here folks.
Is he any dumber than the usual TV villain?
He's so dense he left an indent with his fist.
The bullets did not do anything
*goon throws empty pistol at superman*
Actor DUCKS under thrown metal gun
In season 1, K.I.T.T. was still learning how to behave humanly.
Well it is cool that KITT could talk, but there is a whole lot more to "behaving humanly" than merely talking.
I sure wish that my computer could learn better how to cater to what I want.
2:00 What if still alive aka staged death?
Always thought most of the early episodes when KITT had the flashing red square were the best of the series. Michael was annoyed of KITT for being a smartass and it wasn't so buddy-buddy. In fact in this episode, Michael kills the girl at the end
The moment in my childhood that did it for me
Kitts like a little kid lmao.
3:45,4:48 Imagine Devon's reaction if Michael and KITT really had gone over the cliff by accident. Probably would've thought "Well, so much for Wilton Knight's belief in Michael. Time to find a replacement I suppose. Hope KITT's still in one piece so we don't have to build yet another car."
KITT's only weakness: Getting punched in the door by a goon
The dent did not happen. It was a figment of your imagination. Anyway, we are asked to imagine as if KITT was real, for we all know that KITT is nothing but an ordinary Trans Am or multiple look-alike Trans Ams, plus a bunch of clever TV special effects make-believe.
There's one difference, KITT'S molecular bonded shell.
He couldn't brake. And he couldn't turn to left or right. He couldn't eject Michael. It was a hopeless situation for KITT!
0:08 Not so hopeless..i guess that was confession from them..but why..
the good ol 80s. the bad guy in every show would monologue so long it gave the protagonist time to escape.🤗🤗🤗
I love how different the stunt car looks
Man, Eric Bischoff is strong, punching a dent in KITT.
1:58 That dude dents the car door pretty damn well with his fist.
essa série é Boa
@campbellscollision
There are many other examples of recording flaws, that could have been remedied merely by cutting the scene a little more carefully. But what is done is done. Too late now. At least they catch most of them.
KITT is made out of tin foil rofl.
xD
43 yrs later I,m still watching it.
Bro 43 years ago the show didn't even exist
@@Bzslz l said later not ago.
@@bentoefremteenage2012 how?
43 years later would be in 2025. Calm down there hoss
Gotta love physics!
Antidote to any drug... KITT's oxygen.
I bet it was 'New car smell' flavoured.
This made me think of mouth to mouth cpr to Michael 😏
He got that super air
4:40 If you count 10 seconds from when KITT says it -- they don't actually get to the cliff in anywhere close to 10, it's nearly 30.
Shh! You were not supposed to notice that.
👈😁😂 Right!
Kitt is hitting the brakes in manual cruise. Why couldn't he go autocruise and swerve?
Ah, I see someone else noticed that too. :D
.. & the return trip back up the cliff was closer to five seconds
Excellent turbo boost
3:04 hahahahahaha.
KITT know how to joke.
He must have hit KITT pretty hard since he put a dent on the doors lol!
He was having too much fun in that scene. Any scene with the talking car of the future, must have been fun.
Yosef MacGruber sure thing
3:25 here comes the "ether bunny"
The moment KITT realizes Michael's really knocked out was pretty funny
Sort of like how a dog and a human try to figure each other out. How can a dog understand too well his human's failings, when humans seem much like mighty gods to mere dogs?
The idea of KITT trying to "play along" with Michael's scheme, is a high level of abstraction for a machine to comprehend. KITT seemed a bit too much "patting himself on the back" for figuring it out, to realize what was actually going on at the moment. Michael seemed to know that KITT would protect him from an "arranged accident" far better than the bad guys roughing him up or shooting him would.
“And Michael...you can stop pretending now”
“Michael...Michael?...uh you’re not pretending, are you”
How many times did KITT read someone's vitals and give a general health check in a matter of seconds?
I gotta say it was really really cute when KITT said "Michael, you're gonna be very proud of me"
Just like a little doggo that learned his first trick,
*A D O R A B L E*
Michael: “That....that’s just too close!”
KITT: “And also a brilliant demonstration of Newton’s Third Law of Motion”.
As Michael said in the pilot: “Smart aleck car!”
Hey Star Trek Discovery, this is how you write Newtons laws into the script in a way that works!
When he hit the door of KITT, he left a dent.
Wow! When he punched the door he DENTED IT! Oh no!
"Just hit the brakes!"
"I _am_ hitting the--"
10 seconds. Cliff should've been right there. There must be a hidden Dragon Ball Z time button on KITT's dash somewhere.
Everybody knows that according to TV simplistic logic, the cliff can not exist until the point at which the drama and dialog have concluded. Even the cliff has to obey the script.
Typical crappy Hollowood. Now wonder it's all collapsing now, once there's competition.
When he hot KITT's door he actually dented it.
At 1:58 you can see the man dents KITTs Door haha
Yeah 1:43 also the skin off the painting on the edge of the door near key hole...
That’s impossible! KITTS protected by the foundations formula known as the “molecular bonded shell.” That must’ve been a smudge or something?
@John Davis
So KITT healed himself? Wait? That doesn't appear to be in KITT's list of features.
@John Davis
So that would be the special material that is dent-proof?
Remember, the bad guys were bending up their pry tools, because the car is tougher than even tools are.
@John Davis
_Star Trek_ has better techno-babble.
Actually, wouldn't that be "molecular bonded shell"?
If you watch closely and freeze the frame at 1:59 you can see that he actually punches a dent into the car door lol 😂😂😂😂
Knight Rider is so fun watching again :P there are so many silly mistakes.
1:56 Guy dents KITT's nearly indestructible molecular bonded shell with his bare hand.
2:56 Grass has folds, because its not real grass, but carpet.
1:36 "I'm liking the compliment.....oh you didn't..wait there BRB, I'll give you grated skull!"
I loved the show.
"Stop the car"..."I am the car micheal".
Neuton's third law of motion
For an indestructible shell it sure dents easily
I bought 2 weeks ago the complete boxset of Knight rider and The A Team and I have already watched Knight rider and I just started with the A team
01:59 he actually put a dent in kitt. Lol
KITT - Michael you're going to be very proud of me, i did exactly what you wanted..... 😂04:01
lol
“I let them drive me up here, and put you inside”
And they didn't edit out William Daniels breaths!
That reversal back up the mountain was epic, tremendous power by K.I.T.T.
Notice the professional grade tires on the stunt car at 5:36? You can't normally see the branding on the tires, but you can here.
That hill-cliffside probably wasn't even that steep. They likely used camera angles to make it look worse than it was.
They must have had so much fun making the old but-good TV shows.
@@yosefmacgruber1920 yeah obviously it wouldn't have been, as probably no car on the entire planet would have been able to reverse up such a gradient in real life, let alone a trans am.
There must have been somewhat of an incline coming back up though, which is why I suspect they were swapping out the car's tyres from the norm, just for that additional safety just incase.
@@Longlostpuss
Couldn't KITT have traveled a different path back up, that wasn't quite as steep? We can not just give the super-car all of the super-abilities, otherwise we shall have to invent bigger super-villains, well unless you think that TV stories and video games should all be collecting shiny coins and decorated with dancing flowers and butterflies, as in _Super Mario Brothers_ or one of the many _Rayman_ adventures? But those are but a fraction of the many video games that I have played. Others have been perhaps more challenging or perhaps more dark.
We aren't supposed to too much see all the stunt cars and special effects, even though we may take note, we conveniently delete those from the story that they are trying to tell. Much like if your child is in the school play, you don't talk too much about how fake the cardboard props and background paintings appeared, but rather encourage them in how good that their acting was. First I try to enjoy the story, but of course I like to watch the Bonus Features on the DVD, and watch whatever they may have in how they made it look so real, and what special effects they may have used. I also like to know how things work.
I was concerned that my little nephews were too much believing what they see on TV, and not very well understanding like how we adults tell them, that most everything on TV is fake. They seemed scared that some actor might have gotten hurt. So when I saw a certain "Behind the Scenes" video clip on a _Star Trek_ movie, I thought, "They need to see this". I think it helped them understand. It was a video clip of how the saucer section of the Enterprise, was being towed by a pickup truck moving it through its "crash" site. Viewed from that vantage point of a much-smaller scale model, it looked so incredibly fake. And yet that was a movie that I much enjoyed watching, and it looked fairly real at the time.
The stunt cars could very much be overkill, but perhaps they want to save the more legit-looking cars for more of the beauty shots for the camera. Does anybody even know how many General Lees and how many Trans Ams were used in the making of _The Dukes of Hazzard_ and _Knight Rider_ ? Was it around 20? A car destroyed per episode? Hard to imagine how they get a budget so big that they can afford to destroy dozens of cars in the making of those TV shows, but they had audiences of many millions of people and a whole lot of advertising money backing them up. Do you get to keep your job, if you only spend but a third of the budget? Or will the network complain that it looks too fake and that it will cost them ratings?
Somebody once said something to me about Attention Deficit Disorder, and how on TV they cut to another camera scene just about every 2 seconds. I once counted it, and sure enough, they appear to do that. Why? So as to more effectively brainwash us? Interrupt the scene and our thought process before we can reject a false idea as false? Or is it because they have too many cameramen, and they need to justify their jobs somehow? Or maybe a little of both?
@@yosefmacgruber1920 OK this is a dissertation mate, not sure it needed to be as long as this, but anyways:-
My main problem with this scene (and this is when I saw it as a 5 Year old kid), was that firstly the car is coasting because it's in neutral and the engine is switched off, that's the only reason why it's travelling down at such speed and the braking is not effective. Anyone who drives or knows anything about cars knows this was unnecessary.
So basically, if K.I.T.T. just turned his engine on the car would have slowed down significantly off the back of that alone.
The other problem I had was that if the decline was too steep to stop the car by conventional means because of gravity, it made no sense that K.I.T.T. was able to reverse all the way back up.
This is suspension of disbelief done wrong, but I was such a huge fan of the show that I just allowed it to go over my head. I just loved seeing K.I.T.T. do his thing while listening to the awesome soundtrack of that ridiculous fighter jet/spaceship sounding engine he had.
As for the stunt cars I think they had multiple. Some of the earlier ones were full cars, others were body worked with a flimsy vendor, you can just see what is what if you pay attention.
I wasn't a fan of Season 2 and the use of the toy models and sets for some of the scenes, I have to say.
@@Longlostpuss
Wake up to reality. Much of TV is fake, even some of the news is fake.
Such a bigger flaw of _Knight Rider_ was that the camera view of Michael pushing the Turbo-boost button, was just a cover of the Trans Am driving up a ramp so that it could just turbo-boost jump over things like some sort of super-car. Like who didn't know that? If the car had that kind of jumping ability, why didn't it just fly to the rooftop of a building? Well it is just a "car of the future", and not Superman, and not some too-much-motion-in-your-face Transformers superhero.
Curiously, _Star Trek_ shuttlecraft can fly, can take off vertically, but they don't do much of anything interesting, no stunts, because they are just mere transport vehicles and we don't want them stealing the limelight fame from the superhero starship Enterprise.
And ironically, the actual cars of the future, electric cars, will not make all those "power" sounds and will be strangely quiet. Quite a lot of the foley sounds of TV and movies are fake. "What shall we make KITT sound like? I know, let's have him sound like horse hoof-steps." "No, we can't do that. That is way too retro, and he is a car, not a horse. And KITT has more power than your typical car, so we need a more powerful sound."
I liked all the seasons, but was it season 4 when they had to rebuild KITT after he got destroyed, and they made KITT even fancier than before. He even had super-speed fins or something that pushed out in Pursuit mode. Didn't they give him some sort of convertible top? Well convertibles were never cool to me. At least it wasn't some stupid cloth tent "rag-top".
I actually thought KITT was rather cute in that episode in which that young guy hacker stole KITT and removed the computer component from the car. And so KITT is riding around in the passenger seat of an ordinary car, his body removed, his special powers removed, and he is but a mere smart and talking computer that can't hardly do much else.
So how even was KITT powered? Must be by some free-energy technology that the evil elitists who ruin this world don't want for us to know about. For back then, laptop batteries were not all that good, and KITT wasn't very big and wherever was his battery pack?
But of course, KITT later was reunited with his body.
I have to much appreciate the toy models and scale models and other cheesy fakery techniques of the 1980s TV, because now we have computer graphics and special effects galore, but the stories have went to crap. I would rather have the good story and have to use my imagination a little. Great special effects should be no excuse to neglect the story.
BTW, I have noticed that most all of my favorite video games, had a great story. So if I could create my own video game, perhaps I would try to start with writing the great story underlying it. Maybe I could start it as a book, and then start layering some great game levels onto it?
So you can dent the car with hands at 1:58 but deal no damage with a gun at 2:08
Oddly satisfying
Toy or unloaded or stunt gun + sound effects.
Squibs and pyrotechnics do not do a lot of damage.
@John Davis
So the dent was an optical illusion?
@John Davis
But repairing itself, was not on the list of KITT's features. KITT is not the Avalon spaceship in _Passengers_ that supposedly has some software-based ability to repair itself.
No, what we see is a camera shot goof, in which the camera did not lie, and showed that it was just a black dent-able Trans Am, and not really this wonder-car called KITT. KITT is nothing but clever TV make-believe.
When Michael tried to warn that evil woman not to shoot at him, because the windows are bullet-proof, well I don't think that the windows are really bullet-proof. Good thing that they do not use real bullets in recording TV make-believe. Somehow I don't think that the bullet would richochet like it supposedly did in that episode and so she got what she deserved.
And just because KITT may have had a nice wax/finish job, doesn't make him indestructible.
Revving In Brum usman
@John Davis
What evidence is there to suggest that KITT can repair himself? None. Not even in the story. Machines do not normally repair themselves. KITT came in all the time to the mobile lab in that Knight truck trailer, to repaired or retrofitted or upgraded. KITT is not a biological organism and does not heal itself. There was no damage nor any dent. That was a special effects or recording snafu. Evidence showing that KITT is really make-believe, that it was really just an ordinary car. Try as they might to prop up the illusion, KITT is still make-believe.
BTW, that truck trailer very likely was bigger on the inside than on the outside, otherwise it would be nearly impossible to walk around KITT while KITT was inside the trailer. The inside is but a set on a movie stage with extra space for the actors and cameras.
I may survive the impact however you will not Lmao
Michael shoulda jumped out and let KITT's smart ass go over alone.
@@meg-k-waldren
Jumping out at 40mph, sliding down a cliff? Sounds like a safe thing to do? (sarcasm)
Has anyone else noticed that the car windows are obviously down when they send Michael on his way but the windows are up a few seconds later.
Plus once KITT was going down the cliff, why didn't he slow down just abit on his own. He's suppose to protect Michael, & what's happing?.....😲
I like wacthing kit
0:56 he fixed Michael's hair back. :D to let him forgive his over acts :D
Michael’s doing the no arms challenge 😂
don’t mess with the hair 😂
Nah, he just liked the feel!

The Front turbo boost should be a standard feature on all cars.
1:58 yo he dented kitt lmao
1:59 he manage to put a dent on KITT door!
1:56 This guy puts a small dent in the door, I wonder if that was supposed to happen .
No, it wasn't. I don't think this was caught by the crew. Remember, KITT's supposed to be dent-proof and that guy just dented the door. I've seen this episode many times and just now caught this.
No. Remember kitt is next to indescribable. But remember in the 80s how rubbish quality TVs was so probably didn’t matter as it wouldn’t be picked up.
When I saw this episode on TV in the 80s, Margo kissed Michael after knocking him out with the chloroform, but that's edited out here and also on the DVD box set. I guess it's a bit too much for the more sensitive 21st century audience.
That woman is the real life wife of Dwight Schultz, who plays Murdock on the A Team.
And Lt. Reginald Barclay in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager.
@@ki5aok Wow, awesome
Dwight Schultz is a dumbass.
Fantastic
Wow KITT used metric measurements in this episode. e.g. 7/8th of a kilometer ahead and a 456 meters drop below. Cool.
Look closely @1.59 the villain puts a dent in KITT. 😆
Dents the car where he punched it at 1:58 lol
I don't know why I didn't see this the first time starting at time index 1:40 A pocket knife , doesn't work and no scratches , he then stands up and pulls a knife too pry up the door open leaver , doesn't work and no scratches , he then makes a fist with his right hand then strikes the car door just under the window over the middle of the door open lever creating a dent about the size of a nickle or maybe a quarter, it should have been impossible for him to do that. then a little later a hand gun and, not much happens .
1:57 he dented it lol
1:58 lol he hit a dent
THAT. THAT WAS JUST TO CLOSE
Close maybe but as saying goes Close but no Cigar. 🚓
Why didn't Kitt just go into auto-drive mode ?
@@fritsfelix8423
Wasn't the indicator light showing NORMAL CRUISE?
Now how did Michael know that the Turbo Boost could be rotated? A lucky guess?
@@yosefmacgruber1920 Well, the turbo boost was also used at some point in the series to make kitt go faster, so I guess that's where it comes from.
And yes the indicator shows either normal mode or nothing, I guess it's a mistake.
@@bttfsof
"Turbo boost" sounds much like techno-babble of the sort that they use in _Star Trek_ to make it seem like they are talking about something very futuristic and high-tech, when it is just silly made-up words. Technically, wouldn't turbo-boost merely boost power, acceleration, or spin out the wheels? Why would it launch the car into the air? Now if KITT had some "nitro" or some nitrous oxide, that appears to actually be a thing. Of course that doesn't launch into the air either. But who even needs that other than speed demons or fancy FLAG crime-fighters?
KITT may not be a doctor, but KITT has that neat oxygen outlet into the cabin. Probably from some some oxygen bottle stashed who knows where? But why wouldn't it just put oxygen into the air conditioner vents? Well that wouldn't be obvious to the audience as to what KITT was doing then. Oh wait, not a lot of cars even had air conditioning back then. They merely had heaters.
@@yosefmacgruber1920 Yeah, they just filled the show with funny gadgets.
This being said, the turbo boost was always used consistantly has a "booster", it always pushed the car and not through boosting its engine.
Cranking the engine's power was made by choosing the pursuit mode on the panp panel, and in the 4th season by using the super pursuit mode.
@@bttfsof
If you wanted just Michael Knight do-gooder, crime-fighter, without all the high-tech gadgets, then there was _MacGyver._ I loved watching both TV shows actually. And I like the high-tech, and now the Tesla cars strangely seem a a little bit like KITT. The parallels are striking. Perhaps old TV shows such as _Knight Rider_ helped inspire the high-tech that we are starting to see now.
Now the ejection seats that could launch Michael Knight 25 feet up into the air, by just softly moving up a few inches, that is obviously make-believe, but a car that drives itself, will soon be a standard feature on most all new cars. Much like on _Knight Rider_ we will be able to summon our car to come pick us up by talking into our (smart)watch (or smart-phone) or by tapping something on the screen using our car's smart-watch app.
Didn't super-pursuit mode have special fins that pushed out of the side of the car? As at around 150 or 200 mph or so, the contact of the tires on the road, become more of a "suggestion" rather than control. At those speeds, the car needs to function more like an airplane to keep from losing control. Perhaps some little fins could help provide cornering forces to keep the car from just flying off the road. But then the fins were probably shaped wrong and too small to really be nothing that a cute gadget. I think they would have to be designed better if they were for real.
Super-pursuit mode was a lot more cool than those ugly stupid obnoxious fake-wing spoilers that people put onto their cars, as if they think they are special or they pretend like they are race-car drivers. It looks about as stupid as putting a sharp-looking suit-coat onto a pig.
Sudden stop... didn't require seatbelt :P
"7/8ths of a kilometer..."
I'd forgotten how much they mangled units...
That's 875 meters. What's wrong with that?
2,870 feet, in amercia they dont use meters
Turbo Boost...also referenced in AIRWOLF.
And the brakes automatically fixed themselves. LOL
Man, that's show was great. But now you can see all the holes.
@John Davis Enough to fill the Albert Hall
How was it that KITT was hitting the brakes in Normal Mode not Auto Mode?
1:59
Who else noticed the dent?
They forgot to edit this scene! XD
@Maxwell Graziani
Come on it was the 1980s. You have to use your imagination. They couldn't magically do everything with computer graphics like they do now.
It was edited good enough. Come on, those old TV shows probably had but only a week or two to throw together another episode.
Wow that was 1977 scary!
04:58 "I'm trying but the law of gravity takes precedent" (instead of precedence).
KITT has brake fade! 😨
1:58 you can see dent
Indeed!
I remember seeing that as a kid and laughing!
And KITT is supposed to be unbreakable!
@@Anonymous-qg9xx
I heard in _The Dukes of Hazard_ they managed to destroy around a car per episode. I guess that car wasn't so indestructible either. People would say that the car would land, bend up, and in the next camera shot it was straight again. They must have had a bunch of General Lees.
@John Davis
So KITT healed himself?
Question if the breaks failed to stop kitt from going over the cliffs, how come they worked whilst stopping in reverse? 😆 80’s movies always a flaw.
Kitt has a burnt out brake light ..You would think the show would shell out 85 cents
85¢ is probably not the issue. Rather, having to stay on schedule probably is the bigger issue. They can not always re-record a scene due to a flaw. There must be 100s of important scenes in a TV show episode, and it all has to be done within a week or two? Maybe they can cut the scene a little shorter, and people won't notice it.
@@yosefmacgruber1920 Your going to cut a scene short because some stage hand can't run to a auto store 2 blocks off the lot and get a bulb? Or get one from one of the other demo cars on the lot They had mechanics there for the cars replacing bumpers and issues that came from driving in the unpaved back roads ..And if your like me and owned a 83 trans Am They don't do well with back roads

Maybe they were behind schedule that day. I doubt that they do a complete lights check before recording every scene. Oh BTW, I still haven't noticed that bulb being burnt out. Had you included a time-index I might have seen it by now. How many times do you think I should watch the clip in hopes of finding it? BTW, _Knight Rider_ was primarily made for the TV airing, and not for DVD and internet which came along later. Seeing an episode just once, one would have to pay very close attention to find very many flaws.
The auto parts store was probably farther away than that, and that sort of project can easily take a half hour or more.
Well of course they don't do well. Weren't cars rear-wheel drive back then? Heavy engine in front, drive wheels in the rear. No wonder wheels were all the time spinning out. They had to turn the engine sideways and somehow squeeze in a transaxle, to make front-wheel drive possible. And were they even using CV joints back then? The much shorter drive shafts increased the angles to beyond what a universal joint could handle without excessive vibration, if I understand it right.

Your loss.
A few things I don't understand.
1. Why did the guy shoot the door, and not the window. I don't know why he even thought you could shoot open a car door like that.
2. Why didn't Kitt keep the speed reduced, and just stop when out of view of the bad guys. Hell, he didn't even have to go down the hill, he could have turned right as soon as they pushed him, and drove away. It's not like they could have stopped him.
I think KITT misunderstood as to what extent to play along. KITT also was slow to realize that Michael wasn't fully conscious.
Maybe even KITT needs some time to learn about the complexities of the human world.
@John Davis yeah but he doesnt know that :D
Haha y'all see the dent in KITTs door at 01:59 ??
4:43 - "We will pass over the edge in less than 10 seconds"
5:12 - KITT finally stops.
WOW, that's a very long 10seconds, and KITT ain't very smart or intelligent for a very advanced AI. What? can't activate your advanced functions without someone pushing the buttons?
Would that make it less exciting? Fuckin idiot
Vipermecha there are indeed a few examples where the automation appears unintelligent... don’t worry about Jesse James, he’s a loud mouth, anti-social, non-thinker, your point speaks to KITT’s credibility - that even in a life and death situation, and therefore Emergency where pilot commands can be overridden, the AI lacks the ‘smarts’ to figure out a solution - despite the AI knowing about all of the onboard functionality available to it, including Newton’s physics Laws ;-)
The scene is made for low hanging fruit ‘I need excitement’ types like Jesse 😋 For me if not you also, it’s hard to appreciate the scene cos it makes no sense lol... I love KITT and Bonnie, she’s a smart programmer and engineer, and he definitely knows how to escape and evade, turbo boost on his own, eject people, etc - narrow minded (like Jesse) producers just making em look bad to give more (like Jesse) a quick but unrealistic fix 😊
KITT: “I *am* hitting the brakes” 😂😂😂😂
Simple answer. Simplistic TV logic. Plot armor. Of course KITT will behave in a way to move the story along.
K.I.T.T. was designed only to answer to Michael's commands, it wasn't his job to think for him unfortunately, Michael Knight always had to have total autonomy where K.I.T.T. was concerned, as he couldn't be held responsible for loss of human life. You see this in the pilot.
This is why Michael Knight found himself in many avoidable predicaments over the course of the series, but K.I.T.T.'s abilities always won out in the end, so always ended up saving his hide in one way or the other.
can someone answer this question? How do tires squeal on dirt?
LOL!
Aha! They faked it. Much like how the manned moon landings were probably faked.
Sand in the old days was more dramatic. Thus the squealing.

Amazing kitt ❤
0:08 That explains few things. 🙄 0:22 That is what that security theme was about? 😕 0:38 Doubt that. 😏 4:18 Dooh. 😐 5:19 😉
