Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

alexanderdavies-99382 From "Universal" studios, "Knight Rider" was amongst the last American t.v show of its kind. To emphasise this, "Knight Rider" came at a time in the 1980s when American television was changing and in a big way. Shows like "Miami Vice" and to a certain extent "The Equalizer" represented a more violent and gritty kind of entertainment. The above series contains violence that was still of a more "comic strip" variety, there were no swear words and sexual content was minimal. That is all very well and at least "Knight Rider" can be enjoyed by younger viewers in particular. However, the tone of the show meant that it resembled ones from the 1970s where the same kind of content still applied. I like "Knight Rider" for the shows gimmick of a highly advanced car (naturally), for the music, the stories and for the nostalgia. The feature length pilot episode really sets up the shows premise effectively. In a previous life, a police officer called Michael Long is shot during an undercover operation. The bullet is deflected by a metal plate which is inserted into his skull. Now disfigured, he comes into contact with a multi millionaire named Knight who is the inventor of a highly advanced car called "K.I.T.T." Knight is dying and hasn't much time. He lives long enough to see the result of Michael Long having had plastic surgery (now David Hasslehoff). The car is complete and ready. Knight succumbs to his illness in quite a touching scene and leaves the car to Michael Long, now re-named Michael Knight. He seeks those who shot him and exacts revenge in a thrilling 90 minute episode. Everything clicked into place and the shows success was assured. In all honesty, the best episodes are from seasons 1 and 3. Edward Mulhare gives excellent support as Michael Knight's boss, Devon Miles. David Hasslehoff fits the bill in the lead but in some ways, the K.I.T.T car is the star of the show. It is given much personality, courtesy of William Daniels. The car and Knight strike up a lasting friendship and the car's built-in voice circuits, give the impression of a real conversation taking place. Speaking of "K.I.T.T," the car is equipped with all sorts of gadgets and weapons. It is truly one of a kind. The critics weren't all that complimentary to "Knight Rider" but who cares? The public couldn't get enough and the show lasted 4 seasons and nearly 100 episodes. It is a well made show and part of my childhood was spent enjoying the latest crime-fighting by Michael Knight and his unique car.

TheGDfather For those of us who did grow up in the late 70s and early 80s we definitely missed something special. This was when kids were allowed to be kids. When women could go out at night and have fun and social media didn't know. I really miss the beautiful women on camera. Back then you actually had to know how to act and you had to look extremely hot. Every girl on this show is extremely beautiful. You can even catch a clip of the young Gina Davis. Both ladies who play Michaels side kick are just beautiful. You also get tons of one liners, bad dressed bad guys and plots that don't need to make sense. Plus you here a lot of early 80s phrases.A lot of people on reviews were expecting this to be like the comic book. Not even going to comment on that. A simply found this on sling TV. I can get enough of this show.

Aaron1375 I liked this show all right when I was a kid. It had its moments and for the time a really cool car. The show also had some rather bad episodes usually involving evil versions of the people on the show. They had a show where Michael as an evil twin and the car K.I.T.T had an evil twin named ironically car. Funny as the evil Michael just had the typical mustache to show how bad he was, funny as both "Futurama" and "South Park" would have episodes making fun of the evil twin and their mustache. However, most episodes especially the early ones were rather good with Michael and K.I.T.T solving the more usual type crimes and not the totally strange ones. The car though made the show for me as a kid as it was totally sweet and did all those cool things, granted it did the really cool things perhaps once per episode, but what does one expect seeing as how those super jumps usually tear a car to pieces. In later episodes after K.I.T.T is dipped into acid he gets a new upgrade called super pursuit mode which would be way awesome, but would last for twenty seconds are so and was never really used for an extended period of time during the episodes it was used in. So this show could have been better, but it was a solid show of the 1980's and is probably the highlight of David Hasslehoff's career.

lloyd027 Is it just me, or is David Hasselhoff the only actor to have ever been out-acted by a disembodied voice? For me, KITT was the real star of the show - in fact, for me, HE was the 'man who did not exist'. Michael Knight was just there to stop awkward questions by the police about a car driving itself. If KITT was damaged, which happens a few times in the series, especially at the start of season 4, I was more concerned about whether Bonnie or April could repair him, than if Knight was injured - after all, anyone could sit in KITT and often did - even a blind woman in one episode! It just makes me laugh when I hear David Hasselhoff state he was the reason people watched the show. Not you buddy, KITT!
