One of KITT's less well known features was the ability to mimic damage in order to disguise itself as a perfectly ordinary car.
this is brilliant :)
I always imagined that Knight Compound wasn't indestructible, it was just much tougher than normal metal, so it could still be dented by a strong impact. Presumably, Bonnie or April would repair it between episodes.
@@michaelramsey82 funny you mention that, because at the end of the pilot, Devon says to Michael, that he was the only one to put a dint in the body work.
@@michaelramsey82 The "Molecular-Bonded Shell"....
Forgot about that
I always laughed when KITT pulled into the trailer, had 2” of clearance on each side, and then next scene there was enough room to open the doors and walk around freely. 😅
Maybe its a KITT Trailer that can change his dimensions, with moving Walls...
Not as bad as voyage to the bottom of the sea. That sub was a TARDIS lol
@@drhkleinert8241they found the original trailer. Wasn't possible. Trailer was a typical car trailer.
When I was little I asked my dad, Dad, how do you make Kitt drive himself?
He answered me, someone inside is handling it and I didn't believe him. But now I do believe him 41 years later 😂
Somehow, seeing all of these mistakes just makes the show that much more enjoyable.
6:23 the edges of the frames where you can see part of the set… you couldn’t back in the day because of the curved tube TV’s we all had. Now that we have flat panel TV’s we see more of the frame and thus the “mistakes.”
About the intruders you can also see a very nice hand driving the blind drive :) at 15:59. I also remember an episode with KITT on the road and we can clearly see the crane camera and man with the shadow on the road.
Noticed that too 😉
It's nice to see David messing around with his stunt doubles, always comes across as such a down to earth nice guy behind the facade.
The other mistake is Knight of the Juggernaught. When KITT is getting destroyed by the battering ram, it is clearly one of the hard-top stunt cars because the roof is buckling with each impact, when it should be T-Tops shattering, but those are too expensive and you don't want glass going everywhere. So maybe that is why they smashed one of the hard top stunt cars instead.
It was a car they specifically brought in and dressed up as KITT for that scene alone, to get destroyed. It wasn't one of the regular stuntcars they used on the show. But yeah, definitely a hardtop for the reason you just described.
those additional kitts are proof doc brown hired kitt to save the timeline ,lol my favorite second kitt is the drive by on the highway
I have noticed a high level of detail becoming visible now with everything going digital and TV's actually having hard/software built in to increase detail even further.
It's weird to see these shows at higher frames rates and sharpness than when they originally aired.
I always turn that stuff off. On my TV I think you turn on "Filmmaker Mode" to turn off these things. But every manufacturer does it differently and might have a different name for these settings. The "extra frames" is sometimes derisively called "soap opera effect".
@@KasumiKenshirou I like it, a level of clarity never seen before.
I noticed in the pilot episode when the 2 thieves stole Kitt, there was the scene when Kitt was forced to do 180s on the road you can see a regular steering wheel instead of the one we all love in the series. 😅😅
In that scene fuel also appears to spill out of the gas cap.
That was the case during every stunt scene, you can always clearly see that they had to revert back to a regular wheel
Noticed this one too. A long with the fact Kitt was meant to be driving itself whereas you could clearly see the stunt driver turning the wheel.
I saw that too.
@Scorp308 true,that did really happen.
Just goes to show we watched TV a lot differently back in the 80s and 90s, so we were very unlikely to spot such mistakes. Small low quality TV set at the end of the living room. Good enough to follow the story, but not good enough to pick out such detail. Plus we were relatively new to watching TV, so really believed what you were watching, especially as a kid, so you weren't expecting 'real life' to creep in. Good times 🙂
Nah, even back in the day a lot of the flaws and goofs in these shows were very visible if you weren't completely blind. Even on the shittiest CRT TV you were able to notice the die cast toy Firebirds being used in certain "stunts" (like the opening of the second part of the secong Goliath episode with a toy firebird (with white windows) on a miniature parachute, miniature railway toys being used or the car getting annihilated because it landed wrong.
Youve not only destroyed my childhood, youve destroyed my hopes and dreams of a better future, up until watching this, one man made a difference.
But im still amazed this was filmed without any cgi whatsoever
As a kid an older sister of mine got a lucrative sales job, although she still lived at home with me and my parents, she traded in her first car, a Chevette for a brand new black and gold TransAm. I of course lost my shit when she brought it home. Also she drove me to school in it a few times, so other kids were super jealous.
It was actually surprising to know that the semi set was not that much bigger than the actual trailer. I expected there to be a massive difference.
Same. It always looked to me like the trailer doubled in width on the inside shots. It's interesting they tried to keep it roughly correct.
@@RichM3000 I still want to know where everyone goes when they go through the door though. I mean...if you compare it to the outside they'd just fall out onto the road.
@@StormsparkPegasus 🤣🤣🤣
@@RichM3000Which is kind of ironic because sets are in general 1.5x to 2x bigger than reality to look right on screen...
Mistakes like these can happen in any production. Though it's fun to spot them all. I speculate that the production team and editors were aware of some if not most of them and just figured they happen so fast that most people wouldn't notice. Which is pretty much how it usually goes. And seeing as they probably had a strict shooting schedule and budget, reshoots were not economical.
Before hd TV, things were harder to spot.
Yes, errors happens, but in Knight Rider there were fails in EVERY episode.
In every episode some scenes have a different kitt that looks like is gonna deintegrate itself
With Knight Rider some things are blatantly obvious though even if you watch it on VHS on a old TV. Like the horrible miniature models of Kitt that either were completely hollow or literally toy cars. 20 years a german website dissected a bunch of episodes and showed each and every mistake, it was hilarious.
I love Knight rider and kitt they are my favourite. I am jealous of you having kitt.
This is the stuff me and my friends used to point out during multiple viewings of Knight Rider and The A-Team.
You missed my favorite KITT blooper. In the episode Knight In Retreat after Michael gets out of KITT and gets on top of the box truck, he sends KITT after the 4x4. KITT turbo boosts over the 4x4 by pressing the turbo boost button with his finger 😂😂😂
Obviously they inserted the wrong stock footage for the turbo boost button but it still counts as a blooper to me.
Great content! Back in those days we didn't notice these things on our small tv.
So true!
Awesome compilation! Watching this made me wonder 2 things:
- After scrutinizing every episode of the TV show, can you still enjoy watching an episode without ruining the immersion?
- With so many variations of KITT's dashboard, which one is your favorite?
Its sad who looks right 😁👍
Wouldn't have noticed all this as a kid...... but as an adult you can see them very clearly!! 😱
Some of the stuff near the edges would not have been seen on CRT sets of the 80s. The picture extended well beyond the frame around the TV tube. When doing graphics & text overlays you had to adhere to "Safe Title Zones" so your phone number wouldn't get cut off the edge of the screen. There's still a "Safe Title" area option today in many editing packages but it's far less important now.
You're exactly right. I'm surprised they used the full frame for the newer transfers.
I thought KR was shot in a 4:3 ratio and that that’s how we would always need to watch it (I can stand stretching 4:3 content to widescreen). Is there a “widescreen” edition?
@@GarretGrayCamera If anything were visible, back in the day, they would have punched it up some for the edit. If something unwanted is in the shot, you can just zoom and reframe.
@@danmurphy9173 You could make a widescreen version by reframing the original and cropping the excess. I think someone was doing this with BSG. The source material is shot on 35mm so you have some original quality to work with that doesn't suffer as much from enlargement as it would if they shot on videotape.
@@jjdigitalvideosolutionsllc5343 Yeah! And you can tell because of the increased film grain!
18:55 They caught it. They just didn't think we'd catch it all these years later. 🤣
My friends and I noticed a lot of those mistakes when the series was originally on. We used to make fun of them a lot. But we still loved the show
You can say what you want, this series rocked my childhood! Long live Mr. Knight and his mount!
One that sprang to mind was the inconsisnt insert shots of KITT (like normal mode instead of Auto Cruise or Michael pressing a different button than he should be) that kind of thing.
Considering how many they used in the show, it wasn't one of the glaring errors, but still could be fun to find some of these. :)
he was pressing random buttons all the time
Another great video. Thank you for sharing. The black & gold Trans Am spotted in Knight Strike may have been Hasselhoff's personal car. You know the 1983 Recaro Trans Am with the gold Gotti wheels. We saw them in the season 2 episode Custom K.I.T.T.
Did anyone realise that the moving Red Light at KITT is the same like the lights at the helmets of the Cylones in Battlestar Galactica, both produced by Glen A Larson...?
One additional point for #4 is one of the last scenes in KITT vs KARR when Michael and John arrive at John's Marine. You can clearly see the red PANP Buttons and one of the small TVs since they used the S1/2 hero car for that shot.
If you watch the "chicken" scene in trust doesn't rust there's a very noticeable dent in K.I.T.Ts hood. Also, if you were to look here at 19:52 when K.I.T.T lands, you can see the back bend from the impact.
When you already know most of these mistakes because you've watched through the entire Knight Rider Historians Episode Commentary series. 😏
(still going to watch throught this whole video though)
It doesn't matter how old you are..... knightrider will remain an awesome tv series!! 😉👍😉👍
For the ‘mysterious hand’ (#3) i used to say it was from the little known Knight Rider/Addams Family crossover and that was “Thing” inside K.I.T.T.
I'm currently watching my way through the Knight Rider box set (it's great seeing them again after all these years), and I hadn't spotted most of these 'errors'. To be honest, they're quite charming, and a throwback to how things were done back in the day. It all adds to the magic that was KITT, my childhood hero.
I do the same and the amount of small mistakes is embarrasing. In every episode in some scenes there's a second kitt that almost disassembles itself to pieces. Also Michael looks like he's gonna deintegrate himself if runs too hard.
I wanted to be “the young loaner on a crusade, to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless.”
When you were talking about filming inside the Semi Truck.
Did you ever notice how well the actors stood still when filming because if they were actually driving and filming at the same time The actors would be moving around and losing their balance when filming (Funny How None of the actors fell down when filming in the back of the Semi) because that's what the reality would be. !
Somethings I never understood about the KITT vs KARR episodes. 1) If KARR stood for Knight Industries Roving Robot, why seating for four? 2) If KARR was uncontrollable why not just swap computer modules and reuse the body? 3) If storing KARR in the rear of a warehouse was the only option, then remove the tires so even if KARR gets reactivated he couldn't do anything but rage.
That's "Knight Autimated Roving Robot", not "Knight Industries Roving Robot"!
@@kathrynwatts273 ""Automated""
Figures people will point out the semantics rather than offer a valid opinion.
Anyway... I never got that either, whether it's KARR or any other nemesis entity in any series. They just keep the evil version around and assume things will be okay. But this is Hollywood. Common sense in TV and movies rarely ever makes for a good episode. Lol
Remove the wheels, disconnect the battery / power source, unplug the core memory / personality module (as a technician myself, I know there's no way ALL the electronics within KITT or KARR would be hard wired, and not be easily substituted with plug and play connections), the list goes on... but again... Hollywood. You have to suspend reality and common sense in a lot of what's watched.
@@RollsignGallery They could have easily added a 20s scene where some unaware mechanic with good intentions replaced the battery and put back on the/new tyres for example; that would have made it way more sensible without much overhead.
You got me picturing KARR with no wheels sat on jack stands mumbling angrily 😂
I'm not going to worry about that! I love Knight Rider regardless of those "mistakes"! I'm still in love with KITT!
I loved knight rider as a kid. I was obsessed with it. It's amazing now in my 40s and looking at it as an adult. I'm amazed I never noticed how low quality the production values were.
Im loving this!
Back when i was young watching this... i saw something and now it's confirmed.
It makes me like Knight Rider (the orignal series) even more because it's very much alive and real... because of those mistakes... because Real Life is lotsa mistakes.
In the pilot episode after Michael gets shot leaving the Comtron building, there is a scene of him talking to Devon from Kitt. He was shot in the shoulder but has his hand on the wrong shoulder when the camera cuts to him. This was mentioned on the Audio Commentary track of the Season 1 set.
One of my favorite goofs is in season 3 episode junkyard dog. When Bonnie is trying to repair kitt after the acid pit, she's repairing the season 2 dash without the gullwing steering wheel in the montage.
I wish I could remember the episode, it's from either season 1 or 2. Michael is driving KITT from the passenger side. At first I thought he was just sitting in the passenger seat and KITT was driving but the next shot he gets out on the driver side. It's like they accidentally flipped the film for a shot. It's either that same episode or around then, KITT is driving through an orange tree farm with no windshield. They used to take them out for close ups of Michael sitting in the car but I guess they used it for one driving shot hoping no one would notice.
another reason why we now often see things you should not be seeing on old television productions is the fact that producers took into account that a normal crt television has a border that is not visible on the televistion. The crt tube sits inside a housing and that housing covers up part of the border. It depends on de model and age of the television, but all crt televisions had at least some border.
Thats also one of the reasons why old computers and consoles used to have an unused border. Why waste time and pixels on something people won't see? And if you do use it, then some people will not be able to see it.
It definitely wasn’t possible to spot the majority of those mistakes on a standard def broadcast and a CRT tv set. When I was a kid I used to try and figure out what I saw by pausing the image on VHS recordings, but that was even worse. I could never be sure of what I was looking at.
I’m glad I found this channel. I can remember from about 3 to 8 years old this would watch
During Trust Doesn't Rust, a stunt driver is clearly visible in KARR as he ski modes pass Michael/KITT despite KARR having no one inside. The one thing I always notice watching said episode.
I only remember one scene from the entire series. It was when Michael and Kitt jumped from a parking lot into a 10 story building, then Michael quickly gets out and punches some dude right in the face. I don't remember why he did it, but who cares, it was fucking awesome.
Hey Joe. I grew up with all the 80s "vehicle-sentic" show and I'm a detail oriented artist. To my knowledge the ORANGE CHARGER..IS a "screen used" GENERAL LEE. The front and rear side markers are filled in which was specifically a DUKES OF HAZZARD detail. It doesn't make sense for production to take the extra time to fill the marker lenses on one CHARGER when it doesn't have to look like like a double for another car. On DUKES OF HAZZARD the vehicle department started filling in the CHARGERs marker lenses to streamline production and lessen costs of CHARGER parts. It's a tattle tail way to spot screen used GENERAL's.
In one episode, David drived at a higher lane across the fields and than turned hard right for a fast stop and the frontbumper smashed very hard into the ground, because he was to fast with the car. The frontbumper ripped of at the drivers side and you can see grey colour in the big gap .
Missed the times they used ramps to go over stuff and the times you see parts flying off cars
or the car crunch on the jump and being ment condition in the next seen
once, when KITT was stolen in season one, I saw a round wheel when he was coming back. Also I saw hands turning it...
Imagine having the time to go over these old videos in the great detail that you have.
My hat is off to you good sir as I can recognize the patient and painstaking effort.
My wife would be shrieking at me "are you on the interwebs again!?!?!?".
Arghhhhhhhhh...why did I watch this...🤣
Joking aside, I appreciate the time and effort it must have taken to put all this together!
The Prince Brothers Charger was used for additional filming after the pyro was set off under the hood. You can spot it easily as the grille is melted and there are spots of soot or scorched painted on the edges of the hood.
In Trust Doesn't Rust, when KITT and KARR are having their final show down, when it cuts to KITT, theres a noticeable dent in the hood, right in the middle of the power bulge, but nearer to the front of the hood/nose. Great video, thanks for sharing
I'm so glad I was alive when this series was originally on
Something that was probably too obvious to even bother with in this video was that the Prince Brothers Charger turns into a larger four-door car when it explodes.
There's also an episode in season 1 where [at the very end of that episode] for no apparent reason a mirror is left on the dash of KITT [whilst Michael & KITT are talking] and you can see the cameraman's boot whilst he sits in the filming-jeep [possibly towing KITT for that particular shot as Michael was meant to not be driving]...In another one from season 1 & 2 there was was some Unmanned-KITT-Shots where you can clearly see the stunt-driver dressed as the driver's seat [with black perspex included to see through the headrest] and as he pulled up and slammed-on we see the hands of the driver covered in KITT's seat-cloth...[really bad]....
It's surprising how there wasn't too much egregious stuff (at least until the crappy final season). I don't even really count the multiple KITTs, as black Trans Ams were fairly ubiquitous in the era (though it was cool to see it in the video). One can pick up small details here and there -- most typically hands on the steering wheel -- but it pretty much flowed fine for a TV show.
@@RichM3000 Absolutely, it was perfect back then...It still is even being aware of how it's made as an adult...It's nostalgia of happier times....
Another dent on KITT's hood we can see it in "Trust doesn't rust" when Bonnie and Michael heading towards KARR, in the moment when KARR says "...i'm warning you, change course at once" and when the camera shows KITT's response to KARR we can see a huge dent in KITT's power bulge on the hood. Now, in the episode "The nineteenth hole" the jacket of white and green colors that Michael wears had to be the one that the guard wore at Eduardo O' Brian's yacht while David Dalton was tryin' to hide from him somewhere in the beginning of the episode "Mouth of the snake".
Making this series was so much of challenge but being persistent they pulled it off using all the sound effects and fast action. David must be going through a lot to keep changing cars with broken doors and the hot heat of the sun while still trying to look cool 😎 wearing the Black leather jacket.
Knight Rider Will Always Be Number One Show
Here's one you missed in several episodes there's a scene of kitt driving and making a sharp sliding turn, you can see the driver seat is bouncing around like someone is hitting it from behind. It's noticable because the passenger seat remains fixed while this is occuring.
As a kid in the 80's, I don't recall noticing any mistakes, but indeed crt tv's back then weren't too sharp, maybe they didn't show the full frame either, for example the Semi interior set. I just enjoyed the show :)
Of course now it's very interesting to see these details and probably because I now know about them, I can see at least some of them even by watching from vhs & crt tv. Granted my crt is a probably a bit bigger (21") compared to what my parents had in the 80's. Got a brand new 15" colour tv at spring of 1986 in my room, so watched last episodes from that, what a luxury it was as a 11 year old, watching Knight Rider from my own tv in my room :)
Maybe also these later crt's (my 21" is from 1999) are a bit sharper than 80's tv's. Same with these later vhs recorders, mine is from 2003 and certainly the image quality is much better than the 80's vhs recorder my parents used to have.
Awesome thank you Joe always enjoy watching your videos watching from South Africa
some times videos like these bring an extra interest to the show, i love them, a behind the scenes we never had before.
There are several goofs and bloopers in the Knight of the Phoenix, like when Wilton found Michael his position switches through those few scenes. One he's laying toward the driver side of the car and another one he lays to the passenger side of the car. Then near the end after he has gotten shot and he and Kitt are racing to the airport, his "wound" shifts from left to right.
You guys are great... honestly i spoted some mistakes myself, but, as a kid, i was so involved in the episode itself that i did care.
What about when KARR jumps into the ocean off a cliff and it’s the custom vehicle from the movie The Car that actually sails off the cliff.
Great episode. I am sure there are more mistakes you can find. And the reason for that is, they never expected us to see them. TV was a small screen in standard definition. They never expected us to be watching them on ultra high definition and on 70 inch flat screens. Now we can the mistakes, on our all of our favorite TV shows.
No, when you clearly see the crew, Cams and Lamps at KITT and KITTs windows (and i mean VERY clear)its not by the size of the TV. Thats the reason why in most scenes the windows were moved down at cars, otherwise you will see the Cameraman who films the driver at near distance.
I enjoyed the competition between "Knightride" and "The Dukes of Hazard" Before his wife died John
Schiender used to put on a yearly event at his studio in Louisana and one the celebrities that used to show up was Peter Parros
19:51 When K.I.T.T lands both the front and back are damaged it also looks like the window breaks.
You have to see the context: Blurry NTSC TV sets with lots of overscan. So many of the mistakes documented here were simply not visible due to the low quality of the CRTs.
I love these videos Joe, Thanks for sharing.
I need to go back and watch the whole series again. I have not watched it since the show was on air. I watched both.....the dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider. And I had both match box cars and other models of each. I just loved them. Still do.
the wardrobe snaffoos is the reason when Bo and Luke wear the same cloths all the time in Dukes Of Hazzard
I remember an episode where K.I.T.T. was driving through a field or vacant lot, and there was just this wooden ramp for no reason.
And K.I.T.T. jumped it. No cars or obstacles to clear, no Turbo Boost button pressing, just a jump.
I have no idea which episode. Or why the scene was left in.
Chariot of Gold! I always thought that was odd, too!
Thanks for the episodde name!
I'll have to go watch that now.
I started to disbelieve my memories over the years (I was about 7 or 8 at the time), and would love to reaffirm it. Good job, man!
I watched this series so many time and missed all these gems. 😂
There is another mistake I recall…there was one episode where kitt got all these silver stars on him to participate in some show. In a later episode where Kitt rushes on cross the screen you can see him, for a few seconds, once again with this stars on.
i was 5-6 years old when the show aired in 80s in Turkey. I already noticed the impossibility of filming inside a trailer. i was smart back then.
When it jumps the Charger the rear quarter and the front fender buckled pretty good on the landing😳 great video.
Some of mine favourite continuity errors are in the first season, where you would see KITT driving down a dirt road, cut to a shot inside KITT with Michael delivering a few lines, and the background in this shot is clearly filmed on a regular tarmac road. Then cut back to the external shot on a dirt road.
That and in a few shots you can see skid marks on the road from earlier takes where they did a handbrake turn in the road, but didn't make it round far enough and had to re-shoot.
And the occasional sound error, when they forget to dub over the turbine engine noise and you hear the regular V8 the car had.
Great research into this video. All new to me. I saw every episode back in the day but without a large tv and no VCR to record, you saw what you could see and could not even go back to rewatch what you thought you saw!
I liked this Top 10 too. And I have to confess that I was surprised how many mistakes I missed before! Well, of course, I have always watched the show just to enjoy it and I have never even thought of looking for them. But I do like details and so I did found something funny here and there. But who/what is perfect? My childhood stays intact!Thank you!
this is pure retro nostalgia, loving it❤
One of my favorite mistakes in movies or shows is the disappearing and reappearing hub cap or caps. And the self removing and mysterious returning hub cap or caps.
loved the voice of KITT
This is why it’s best to watch these 80’s shows on a CRT.
Mistakes in Knight Rider? Heresy! The show is flawless!
But in all seriousness, it's fun to look back to the show and see all these things. They just make me smile. :)
And funnily enough. I've watched the series multiple times and I've never noticed the trailer scenes "going out of bounds". :O
Just shows that they knew what they were doing, or I'm still a kid who is so immersed into the show.
Can't remember the episode where Michael had a broken arm and the sling changed from arm to arm in different scenes
Fantastic analysis of my favourite childhood tv show..lots of facts I didn't know.
I noticed that in several episodes you can see the same Fiat Mirafiori 132, silver. It's standing, it's driving, but it's the same car in many different episodes :)
Wow. To spot all theses is incredible. I've spottet not even half of it. Well done.
The end of Chariots of Gold after the semi crashes KITT pulls up and had a big dent in the roof behind the T-tops. Just my contribution 😂.
the hand ... the door closing damper 🤣
there also were some details like:
-in one episode, Kitt is scanning the entire building and says there's no one there.... then seconds later somebody jumps out of a corner and attacks Michael... dude... didn't you see him? :D you said the building was empty :D
-the blind-drive diver could be spotted sooo often...
-when kit jumped with "turbo boost" the landing often bent the whole front section of the car upwards... you could spot this often too...
-many many things more... but.... in times, where no computer animations existed, i really like to overlook some of these details. :)
i remembering 10 yo me, watching knight rider like crazy without noticing anything!
Today with technical knowledge and background, you can spot SOOO many mistakes and logical nonsense in movies, it's rediculous... but it is what it is...
I remember a scene (can't remember the episode, though) in which KITT is supposed to show a list of addresses on the screen, but instead of RUNning the BASIC program which shows the addresses, someone decided to LIST the program, so what we see on the screen is something like
10 PRINT "JOHN DOE, X STREET"
20 PRINT "BOB DOE, Y STREET"
etc.
As a kid in the 80s i had the same " Talking " watch , a simple radio watch that's all ^^
modern CGI has taken all the fun out of modern tv shows!! CGI stunts and no "wheres waldo" for the rouge crew, sets and wardrobe items, and whats better than 1 kitt , 2 or more kitts, you cant argue that one!!!! love the content it reminds me of my grandparents as we would visit them on a Saturday and knight rider was on after lunch, me and my sister would watch as the "grown ups" would have a chat , thanks for all the time you put into the channel !!! congrats on you 100k subs , best wishes from the UK 👍
This is a great idea for a series, can't wait for more
