I thought the Knight Rider theme commercials for Ford showed better acting than the TV show. I was disappointed to say the least. The car was cool as was Val Kilmer doing the voice. But they could have made it a lot better.
There was a TV movie called Knight Rider 2000 that was better than last nights TV show. There was also a Knight Rider series with a bunch of vehicles that blew donkey balls in the late '90's.
Of course it sucked if you mesure it against today's standards, just like the acting in the Dukes of hazard sucked! :lol: but hey, it was the 80's! and back then it was cool and fun to watch for easily impressionable young lads!
A Mustang for Knightrider = Sacrilege. oh well...wouldn't have made it any better anyway. the only reason the 80's version was good was because i was a kid.
I'm sure there was some sort of bidding war that went on between the car companies to get their product placed. They're not ignorant to the value of getting their product into a weekly show, especially in a starring role. As usual, GM has dropped the ball not only in not securing the part for one of their cars, but also for not having anything in their lineup worthy of filling the Trans Am's shoes. Uh, tires. Whatever.
They placed the new Camaro in the Transformer movie, so it's not like they couldn't have gotten one to the Knight Rider set. The GTO is out of production (again), and what's left? The Solstice? Not even enough room for the Hoff's hair-care products, much less a talking computer. Only other choice would be a Caddy, and that just wouldn't taste right either.
It would've been the perfect opportunity to bring out a Trans Am proto, as I'm sure GM will have one when the new Camaro comes out, since the Camaro and the Trans Am are cousins.
When I saw the advertisements for the new series, and I saw that the new KITT was a mustang, I was completely turned off by the whole prospect.
I loved the incredible Hulk too but I think it was more of a late 70's show if I'm not mistaken and I agree, I loved Bill Bixby's acting, I hated (Piano music playing)the part when he was walking along the road trying to hitch a ride, it was so freaking sad...
If I was an AI (and a celebrity AI no less!) I would find a way to blackmail several people into getting me into a Ferrari for a body. Not that the Mustang or the TA aren't nice cars...
I wonder why oscillating red lights are still "sci fi" too. Maybe KITT's mom was a cylon.
Couldnt they use a vette? cant believe they are using a mustang.... its like not using a dodge charger for a general lee!!!!!
The world is going to **** i tells ya!!!!!!
