KITT looks as good today as it did back then.
It's very rare to see a car design that will age so well.
It should be brought back.
@@mikeymcmikeface5599 agreed
Cars today are not as badass looking like they used to be unless it's sports car variant. I wouldn't mind driving a Trans Am but with today's engine
@@arrowghost agreed. They got a bit bland-looking. And if you go further back in time, some were works of art.
What we got, however, is affordability.
I owned an '83 T/A here in the UK for 29 years. A good,fun car to drive,although the build quality left a lot to be desired. It's new owner has stripped it right down,rebuilt the sub frame and floor pans and is working on the engine rebuild.He hopes to have it on the road by the end of '23.
Forty years ahead of its time, and STILL never been duplicated.
Tesla could easily improve upon this - if automatic electrocution of uninvited hijackers would not be against the law.
@@u.v.s.5583 Not even Musk would do that. He'd program the thing so if it were stolen, it would drive to the nearest police station, call them and explain it had a couple of car thieves that had attempted grand theft auto and they should come out and arrest them. Musk has a basic respect for human life. He doesn't want to kill criminals, he wants them in a cell where they belong.
Actually a reboot is in the works.....
@@tomg1066 what another reboot? 🤣 they tried before but it didnt made a much success as this OG
Ooooo9
I love it how Michael screams to the thieves that they are gonna get themselves killed rather than order them to stop and bring back KITT. lol
He knows that KITT is stubborn.
LOL!!! Sometimes a horse can be like that.

@@KyleEvra yeß
He knows kitt can take care of himself, and these two car thieves have no idea what they got themselves into!

This show was a big part of what made my childhood great. I want those times back so bad!

Make sense
"That car will be mine."
-Said by everyone who watched this show back in the day
and also now
I used to plead with my parents to get an RC of KITT..kids were literally crazy back then for RC models of KITT & AIRWOLF
And now self driving cars exist and we find ourselves talking to Alexa 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️
@@prakashm1468 we still are lol
Yes!!
Amazing technology, Michael has a car that speaks and drives itself, but still needs a payphone.
Gustavo R. Dreyer I also noticed that! Artificial intelligence in 1980 but not a cheap Samsung!
Knight didn't trust KITT yet so he used the payphone instead of the fancy tools KITT has
Cellular network doesn't exist back then.
@@Beerbottles123 the car actually had phone and could also make video calls with astonishing quality and with no lags!
@@alexandrossotiropoulos5621 true.. make sense
I like how at 5:53 you can see the stunt driver not only performing the doughnuts, but using a “normal” circular steering wheel 😂
Also someone didn't close the fuel cap lol
6:57 you can see the seat wearing stuntman and his arms too heh
You can also see the gas tank fucking spit Gas for some reason when he slides out.
@@brandonsbluegaming1570 probably was filled up in a rush for filming and someone forgot to put the cap back on properly
The driver stuntman and passenger stuntman at least look and dress like the actors, but the circular steering wheel is plain as day for sure. Of course, the storyline wouldn't have the thief in the driver's seat even touching the steering wheel, but we clearly see the stuntman turning the wheel to do the doughnuts. :)
Shows had so much more quality and realism without CGI, that’s why they still look good even decades on!
I love how they have serious arguments and KITT gives Micheal the silent treatment to make his point!😁🤣
😂 I was thinking the same
I was just a kid and now I am a man in my 40s , still I think it was , it is and will ever be one of the coolest cars ever build !!!
Yip, I'm in my 40s as well! I remember the Delorean from "Back To The Future" as well. Apparently, it sold badly on the normal car market, but since it was used in three movies that became famous, the Delorean became famous too (and probably pushed sales up as well).
Same here. And I agree 100%
@@timsquirrel actually, what's really funny is Back to The Future didn't push sales, because DMC didn't even exist! DMC went bust in 1982, due to John Delorean, the founder, getting caught trafficking cocaine. Due to this, they only sold them for one model year, 1981-1982. Back To The Future was released in 1985, 3 years after they went bust.
Absolutely. I loved this series.
General Lee is number 1
I loved how KITT scolded Michael for it and wouldn’t talk to him 😂😂
Me too.
I laughed so hard when that brick bounced back and hit him upside the head after he nearly broke his leg.
its silly to think that the window has enough bounciness to it that it makes he brick not make it crack either... XD brick must have that protective material Kitt has or is made of another version of Vibranium
No cracked skull either 😂
yeah me too, they thought it will break, but little do they knew that the glass was even explosive proof.
@@da11king I think because this show was also watched by kids, so they doesn't do cracked skull
2:03 whoa!
My favorite line in this episode..."Michael, those are the two men who violated me last night."
Poor choice of words, KITT lol.
I ain't falling for the banana in the tailpipe routine! ;3
@@ZION73082 "i went on the internet today and i found this!"
"OH GOD"
@@Garf2O 🍌😏
Most cars get stolen, stripped, owners never see them again. KITT threatens, traumatizes, and turns in his thieves to the police then lectures his owner/driver
Sad but true statement.
You don’t steal KITT...KITT steals you!
@Giant Malik this ain't a super hero
@Giant Malik oh yeah I meant like super powers and stuff cuz kitt is technology right? I watched the show a really long time ago so u probably know more about it than me
could have been worse for the car thieves. They could have tried to carjack a cybertronian in disguise
6:58 The magic behind KITT self driving tech :D
Yeah you can see the hand pull away from the steering wheel just before it stops.
LOL, I also saw that! It was the best technology available at the time. It put a smile on my face.
Very observative.. very!!!
@@thespacemanfil4921 yeh I saw that….Hollywood FX
check out 6 00 with a circle steering wheel and full hands on lol
”Very juvenile. Now watch this!”
Those two guys surely got what they deserved. 😂
So he could have ejected them straight away, but he wanted to play with them.
Damn that car was sassy.
Don't mess with KITT
If I remember right KITT could have simply shut the door and locked the car down. Guess he wanted to play with them.
He wanted to scare the hell out of them
If they gave KITT a female voice and called her KITTEN...
It was given voice of Mr Feany from Boy Meets World too.
For those noticing the "practical effects" now clear in view:
1) Tv screens were a lot smaller back then and if you were a kid you watched this show on the 14-18 inch tv in your room.
2) Broadcasts were the same quality of analogue broadcast signals they had used since the 1950's which meant that most houses picked up the tv signal from the tv antenna on their houses. Needless to say all kinds of atmospheric disturbances and distance to the broadcast signal affected what you saw on your tv. A crystal clear image even in standard definition didn't become a reality until digital broadcasts and dvd's.
3) You saw the episode *once* and unless you recorded it on your VHS you weren't going to see some scenes over and over and over agains like we're able to now.
4) You weren't really looking for mistakes and obvious trick filming when you watched anything on tv like you can do now when hindsight is 20/20.
If you think about it. The people watching these shows in the 80's thought the shows/movies from the 60's and before had cheesy effects. The show's we watch now will be cheesy in 20 years. It's the way of things.
Side note... Sometimes I would like to have UHF signal back. When digital has a poor signal you get nothing or extremly choppy picture.. With UHF you can still half ass watch it
I had cable TV in the early 80s. The TV itself was still a crappy little cube with a 12" screen.
It's not bad. I still love the effects
Scenes added at the last moment, filmed during filming another episode (Good day at White Rock), with almost no budget and no time (even before there was not enough time and money to reshoot the original promo scenes).
You talk too much .
I have just rediscovered Knight Rider on Netflix. My boys loved watching it back in the 80's when it was on television.
05:59 Kitt steering wheel magically changed shape XD
Also for a guy that isn't driving, he is surely doing a lot with his hands
i would love to see KITT throw Michael out like that!
These knight rider clips are so psychologically relaxing on life in the 80s where day to day was so simple, no computers, or mobile phones where a car so advanced but less complex than a Tesla, boy the glorious 80s, the best days in the history of mankind
Yep, now we've descended into a technological living hell
I think they were the best days in some countries definitely not all of mankind
Lol, "No mobile phones, No computers" Mobile phones and Computers have been around alot longer than you seem to think they have...
their were cellphones they were no smart phones my stepdad was in the special forces satellite phones have been around since the late 70's but were crazy expensive back in 93 you could get a plasma tv for 4000 dollars * - *
I prefer the 90s, because you had the option of going on the internet. But it wasn't a toxic all-consuming $hyteshow
Funny that the guys trying to steal KITT are driving around in something worth far more money nowadays :D...
@JX VX Maybe, but the thieves don't know that, you know. : )
👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
A True Professionally Built KITT Replica costs Twice what a '67 Firebird costs.
Lol I clocked that too
Ah you beat me to that comment!!
80 s was a great era.Great TV shows.Great music sports and lots of fun.
@3:00 who leaves their door open and wanders off 😂
Thieves gets in the car and drives off!😂😂 Michaels insurance won’t payout for leaving with the door open and leaves keys in the ignition! 😂😂
I gotta give it to the Hoff, considering the material he's working with, his acting is really strong in this series. He's a good actor.
You obviously haven't seen "Bridge Across Time."
Perché non parli italiano questo coso perché questo vino non parli italiano
wow...must be the first time you've ever seen this. lol
Just like later in the Baywatch.😅
This shit was too hilarious 😂
I’m an 80s kid born in ‘80 so I used to watch this epic TV series with my stepdad
That was my first episode which I saw in 80s in Pakistan
You were born in an amazing decade
I loved this show back in the day Michael and K.I.T.T have a funny relationship lol lol
The auto tint is still one of the cool gadgets I wish cars had today, K.T.T.T would control the tint level
The technology exists today.
My glasses do that depending on how much uv light it detects
Some cars do. It's just expensive. I know McLaren has it
@@moelester7971 It's called photochromatic glass. They make two sides of glass that are slightly concave. The concave sides are glued together and they fill the space with the UV sensitive liquid. That's what creates the auto-tinting effect.
yktgeybdó
I love how they show absolutely no effect from the turbo boost jump.
"Hey Lou Cow" 😂😂😂
6:49 notice the guy sitting in the car dressed up as a seat. You can see his arms steering.
Yes I definitely noticed him too this show always brought back my child hood tv shows kitt was the coolest
You have to remember the picture quality on the old tube TVs we watched these shows on, when they came out, that masked alot of special effects. We can see almost all the tricks now with modern screens
Mike Adams Speaking of "modern screens" K.I.T.T. has CRTs in his dash.
No, I think that was a shadow as you turn the corner because when I see him coming up to the gas station you don't not see the man driving KIT , the sunlight is head-on ! Ni one's in the car as he kit is drivim in the gas station, notice right after the reference time index you said
I just now noticed the gaffer tape over the PEPSI sign behind The Hoff, at the first payphone scene. Lol
One of the most iconic movies watched over the 80s... loved them.
I STILL LOVE Knight-Rider. Technology STILL pays too.
Who'll be watching in 2020 and beyond
apparently me.
Always
I just bought the complete series on July 4th and it’s the dvd set
Am currently watching it all on Starz right now
Knight Rider is timeless! Those turbo boosts and car chases are unrivalled....
I laughed so very hard that I couldn't stop when the guys tried to steal kitt . I love the handsome man,the car kitt . It was a wonderful show,the actors were handsome, the ladies were beautiful . Thank you for bringing this show back of which I,many others enjoyed . It brought back wonderful memories for all of us . To the actors or actresses or both that may be deceased now my condolences to your family,friends,co -workers may you all rest in peace in heaven .
😂 😂
Did anyone else notice that when the car was doing circles in the road, it had a regular steering wheel.
And a stock dash too LOL
That's TV before the 2000s for ya. The tricks they used were blatantly obvious, but we still believed them. Here's another one: When KITT is driving back to Michael, it's clearly a guy driving the car with a cover over his body. You can even see him take his hands off the wheel when the car stops.
@@vontavius01 I just noticed that awhile back too🤣😂
@@vontavius01 6:58 you can see the stunt driver sitting behind the drivers seat he put his hands through a cloth draped hole and his legs underneath the seat. I think they used a mirror set up so he could see where he was going.
And lots of fuel spilled from the gas tank.
This made my childhood beautiful in the 80s 😍😍❤️❤️
I'm getting some home alone vibs when he threw the brick
This was before home alone. Home alone has knight rider vibes.
6:46 I always like the guy inside the seat driving and you can see he's arms when it's just KITT driving
7:00 cunning yet smart trick they put there to make KITT feel like it's driving itself automatically. 🤣
i'd love to see KITT eject Michael out like that!
Love the fact that there's a different steering wheel in the car when they do the doughnuts!
Back in those days, that's the coolest car!
Still is the coolest car in my books; Tesla will never have anything on Knight Industries
Stilllllĺl is!!!!!!!
5:53 6:24 whoa!
God, how I wish TV, Friday nights were this cool again!
May5 I’D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR 💵 (sorry 🤗, couldn’t resist the Robocop reference)
May5 yes
no reality tv back then.
You can buy the entire series on DVD.
Sean Bodine for 20 odd quid yeah
Kitt can take control of itself yet it let the thieves have their way for a few miles. Kind of nice of Kitt to give them a second chance.
Surprised this show never won an Emmy
It's funny how in the End when the car gets back you can see a man dressed as the car seat driving the vehicle🤓
Yes you see the hands of the driver wearing gloves the same color as the seats on the steeing wheel right before Mike opens tell door.
@@btqy Yeap..
I'd never noticed that until now, it still a clever way to do those effects way back then.
I'm disappointed now. It was clever back then.
@@btqy If you look closely as soon as the car enters you can see the man in the back seat as it comes into view and he turns the corner he ducks down. One headrest is see-through the other is not. If you look at the driver's seat (The back) there is the shape of a man in there covered up.
Bumbling car thieves + GTA of KITT fail = A helluva ride to the police station lol
when you were still kid after watching this show, you play with your bicycle, and you talk to it, and you give name to it
"Don't jive me bro". Jazzy sound track on this show.
One of my favorite episodes I loved how this episode had so much going on!! Loved how Micheal Knight had to take on the bad guys with his Super Car!! HASSELHOFF at his best!!
KITT: All the irresponsible behavior. To leave me with my keys, the ignition, and my doors open?
Ah man, this is class TV. I love everything about it.
The part where the one thief threw the brick reminded me of that one old video of the guy throwing a brick at a window and knocking his friend out before doing the exact same thing to himself. Lmao.
Hahaha.. yeah I remember it too... That was F hilarious!
love it at 5:36 when it says 'look out' then the car proceeds to jump over 2 cars without a ramp, lands perfectly and then drives off and the same guy in a split second just starts talking normally calm looooool
HAHAHA hell yeah
Was just about to say this, but first decided to see if anyone else already had! Absolutely hilarious part, lmao.
"good heavens and i thought Michael was difficult*
KITT believes in God. o_o

Love the hidden driver built into the seat XD
I love how the thieves show up with their own theme music. 😂
Ahhhhh...80's tv. Got to love it!!!!
Me too
1:55 Oh look...I just happen to have this here brick in my hand. Haha
6:41 minute. An old gas pump. Love those things!
It had a rogue-dynamicness to it. It was also cartoonish and some funny campiness to it, too! ☝🏻☺️
at 5:58 " I Aint doin nothing" Clearly see guy using a steering wheel to do a burnout
True, but it aint THAT guy :P
It's from 1982. It was made for that year and the TV's weren't as clear as they were back then
Look at 6:58. You see a guy dressed as the seat driving it back.
it's 1982 first season and in all fairness stunts drastically improved as the series progressed
And it's a standard steering wheel, to boot
This was one of my favorite tv shows
I remember my grade school days ! This is my Dad's all time favourite tv series !!!
I like how you can totally see the stunt driver feverishly turning a regular steering wheel while doing donuts at 5:52 even though "... he ain't doin' nothin.'" And especially the guy with the fake driver seat coat on over his head and torso whose hand you can clearly see on the steering wheel as he lets go of it at 6:59, lol
ALL THE YEARS I'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS SHOW AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE IN THIS EPISODE!!
Oh yeah
I’m really fortunate enough to have the whole series on DVD! Rewatching soon! 😊
Wow! Where did you get them? Because I am interested to have them but don't know where to look!
@@catymiju I got them from Amazon but that was few years ago. I don't know if they're available now...
Back when tv was good.
Haha...forgot how much I loved this show as a kid.
Gotta loves 80's continuity
4:50 - There’s that word again, “heavy”. Why were things so heavy in the 80’s, was there a problem with the earths gravitational pull?
Isn't that a line from Back to the Future?
"Heavy" meant back in the day.. When something is unbelievable, out of the ordinary. Like "Awesome, good" or "Serious, intense"
Thank you Doc Brown
KITT is a Pontiac Trans Am, NOT a DeLorean! That sucker is not nuclear!
Tugg Speedman u can’t whoosh your own shitty joke
"That car will be mine!" he says...after getting hit in the head by a brick.
People were sturdier back then.
Haha fr
Some people don't learn the first time. 😏
1:53 imagine braking your foot on a car side window *Wheeze*
Only took two seconds to realize where they filmed these scenes . I was only two yrs old when this episode aired but I love seeing footage of my town from back in the day .
Valencia & Newhall Ca
it was so cool back then. Knight rider then Dukes of Hazzard every week on tv.
Yeah and don't forget The A-team :D
Those were the good old days they don't make program's like that anymore
Everybody knows that its a stunt car. What he's trying to say, is its just obvious and the wheel is supposed to be one of the cool features of the car. Editing missed that obvious one, and the guy dressed as the seat at 7:00
Do you remember AUTO MAN As well
Back when american movies wasn't only about pushing propaganda.
I forgot how much I deeply miss this show!
Mbc action
@@henryrimzy8100yes
The car hasn’t aged at all. Still looks good many years after
Payphones! I remember them like it was yesterday!
5:53 - 6:03
Can clearly see the circular steering wheel 😂
Well spotted! I think they only had one with the full dash set up, the rest of the cars were for exterior shots only. They could at least have put a different steering wheel on though. The continuity in Knight Rider was terrible!
At the same time the fuel tank is draining?
@7:00 7:15 when KITT is driving back auto can clearly see the driver hands 🤣
5:16 That car is good looking from every angle.
This is far the most number 1 tv show of all time of the 80s hands down
I love the wackiness of it all - to eject full grown men that far would take tremendous force yet somehow kitt was able to do it right through the t tops with no propulsion and the t tops somehow were back in place by end of scene and no one had broken necks lol. Still, this was a huge part of my childhood
O god such a classic, i remember watching this when I was younger.
Thanks for the upload. I grew up on this show. The voices are higher pitched than original. Just letting the younger viewers know cause I hear comments on why everyones voice was higher pitched back then.
As KIT is doing burnouts you can see the stuntman in the car turning a normal round steering wheel as the voice-over say's 'I ain't doin nuthin'
lol
KITT: "That's right. I did!!"
Jackson: "Who are you dude?"
KITT: "That's irrelevant!!"
'...after all, we're only human, right?' 'Don't press your luck!' 'It was just a thought' 😊
Never mess with KITT
*5:53** gas pouring out the gas cap, also the stunt driver using the round steering wheel 😂*
also the double seat (even with an open cut to see throu) + the hand holding the wheel hiding when it stops at 6:47 LOL
Yes I noticed that too.
This program was one of the best in the 80s ..... absolutely loved it
In italian adaptation, the two thieves were named Tom and Jerry 🤣🤣
🤣🤣
lol
More in the intelligence level of Bevis and Butthead
6:55 Watch the hand, coming out of the front seat, releasing grip of the steering wheel :)
Crazy how i didn't realize that till now.when we were younger we didn't look at all the little things now we look at everything behind this nostalgic tv show
Lots of stuff like that happens. One of the episodes you (something about a shootout in a small town) you can see the driver tossing stuff around in the back seat (maybe hot in there) as they cut to the shot of kitt to thank him.
I can't believe I was excited watching this in the 80s, anyway I was a kid 😄😄😄😄
Love this show and David Hasselhoff in it!
"Good heavens, and I thought Michael was difficult"
it's a shame KITT didn't eject Michael out like that.
🤣😂😆
I love that the voice of Kitt is Mr. Feeny.
Feeny! Fee-NEH! Fee-hee-hee-hee-hee-NEH! Wha-what? What?!!
I know him as Dr Craig from St.Elsewhere.
@Dywane Carter ?
@Dywane Carter lol.
This scene was really hilarious with those 2 inept car thieves trying to steal K.I.T.T. and fails miserably especially when one of them throws a brick at the window and it bounces back right in the guys face.
I rember this episode and i was 4 lol .. love it!!
They bickered like an old married couple and we loved it
These scenes were actually filmed after the principal photography on "Knight of the Phoenix" was completed. According to Glen A. Larson (may he rest in peace), they were added because the pilot episode was short and additional scenes needed to be filmed to extend the episode to its proper running time. I'm glad they did as these scenes are great and add more humour. Also, they led to a series of moments where either car thieves try to steal KITT or KITT has interactions with people (or dogs) passing by throughout the series.
Well it's scenes like that I was referring to.
Thank you for this post. This explains why the front bumper kept shifting back and forth from the pilot version to the version we see in the rest of the series.

These were the best ever TV shows growing up in the late 70's and 80's going into the 90's
Hey he couldn't show off everything about the car priceless
