Kitt: "KARRS my brother."
Police officer: "he's committed grand theft from a warehouse."
KITT: "He's adopted."
lol
"I have an army."
"We have a KARR."
Nice!!!
That's one way to put it was a good 👍 answer
@ 8:00 On your left!
When you stop to realize that Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, also voiced a car that would easily fit in with the Decepticons, you know you're in for a wild ride.
It's a good thing Op wasn't given this form. :P
Oh look, it's KARR aka Nemisis KITT!
@@Jayteaseepiirturi in the early 2000's reboot, K.A.R.R was given a robotic form
Optimus Prime vs Mr. Feeney lol
I was suspecting that too. So cool.
"-This conversation is not productive." = my new getaway line.
Practice your fade out too. Yeah good idea
I just used that line on a very disagreeable psychobitch :)
😅🤣🤣
Say that to a cop when you roll down the window
If I get a girlfriend that’s my line to get out of arguments
Before Optimus Prime Peter Cullen was K.A.R.R
Peter Cullen to me is one of the greatest voice actors of all time.
And coincidentally, Optimus Prime later plays chicken with another truck. He plays chicken against Motormaster, the leader of the Stuntacons.
Kullen also does the predator sound effect.
Peter Cullen is a legend
Before Optimus Prime - he was Venger in D&D
Knight rider season 1 episode 9 trust doesn't rust karr scanner yellow in the vimeo video has the first Knight Rider season 1 episode 9 trust doesn't rust karr scanner yellow in the new dvd or the bluray.
Love how KARR turned into a completely different car going over the cliff. 80's tv was the best. From the repeated scenes in "A-Team" to this. Love it.
Karr turned into THE CAR!
@@fergnasty69 I see what you did there!
@@fredmontgomery9436 they used the footage from the movie!🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️
@@fergnasty69 correct.
I thought I might have been tripping out when I saw that so I noticed it too
KITT: Michael, Bonnie why are you lying to each other? 😂😂
Classic!!!
The stunt car they used to go over the cliff was hilarious. Even my 8 year old said it was not the same car lol
I give K.I.T.T. a kudos for trying to look out for Michael. K.I.T.T. was just following his function to protect human life, especially Michael's.
That's what gave him the edge over K.A.R.R. Karr was only into self-preservation, so of course he'd turn away first. There's no reason for him to endanger his own existence.
@@Animeaddiction karr clearly explodes there right but then he still returned later and was more dangerous and meaner than ever
KARR: No! NO! I went off the clift and turned into a white 1957 Chevy
(look real close at the bit where you see the car first come off the clift)
Oddly enough that wasnt a belair.. it was that Custom Lincoln that was used in the movie The car
@Potwheelz It was the 1971 Lincoln Continental. Footage from The Car (1977), courtesy of Universal Pictures.
Shows back then didn't have the enormous budgets of today to afford to actually wreck a Trans Am. TV shows were considered inferior and nothing more than a place for bad/B-list actors and hammy storylines.
A Hollywood actor would have frowned upon ending their days on the small screen.
Nowadays it's the other way around. TV shows are high quality, while movies are, well, less so.
I know i know, that always irritated me, but i guess was done to save filming costs at the time.
Lmao!!
"I have to be here, I'm the only one that can calibrate the laser" "Oh no the calibration must be off"
Yes, that was your job.
you failed Bonnie 😂
Exactly. She was really useful
You failed so we will replace you with someone else next season....
@@pl5624 but only for one season, then will let you come back after to do 2 more seasons after you've learned to calibrate things lol
Just poor aim....TWICE !!! WTF!???
Can’t beat a bit of knight rider,or dukes of hazard , the fall guy ,street hawk , the A team and any others I forgot to mention,god I loved growing up in the 80’s - take me back

Airwolf 😁
@@paulzy5192 Airwolf ruled all
Simon and Simon, Rip Tide, Jake and the fat man, China Beach. The 80s had it all for TV shows.
When I was a little boy, I used to have my own play sessions where Knight Rider teamed up with the Dukes of Hazzard. Every single moment i had both cars doing jumps to take down the bad guys😂🤣😆
Most of the 80's TV shows are better than nowadays. Also, Patricia McPherson is insanely beautiful and charming.
The reason KARR swerved away at the last moment was because it had self preservation in it's programming. It didn't want to damage itself.
It damaged itself
@@thomaspayne6866 yes, because it was inferior AI. Obsolete 1980s tech😂🤣😆
But KITT was made to protect the driver no matter to damage itself
That what Michael thought.
KARR and the impeached Trump have something in common : egoism.
Love how turbo boost always somehow lifted the car into the air allowing it to jump over obstructions.
"Why are you lying to each other?" cracked me up.
I will never be to old to watch this
06:15. Love the casual, chilling cops on the side lines in the background. They do not seem to concerned.
They were busy watching (and acting in) a real life Knight Rider episode......but tryn' to be cool about it!
Not to mention, if they did try to challenge KARR, they'd be going against a sentient weapon.
1:14 The technology in Michael's boots are pretty dope. Changing colors and stuff...😁
This was a genuinely clever ending. i've never forgotten it. From Michael having to reassume control to the idea of why KARR would turn away (utterly unexpected), this was above average for network TV at the time.
I was watching this scene when I was eight years old - somewhere in middle 80's. I still remember KITT and KARR until now :)

I really love how it looked like KARR exploded, but the next time we see him he's just buried under the sand... like FLAG never went out to pick up the pieces.
Which is a bunch of crap, since that would've been mistake #2 for FLAG. The 1st being, not having KARR dismantled after they were able to shut him down.
@@dcdrew3 I thought that maybe they thought they could reprogram him.
@@terrywest111 That would be absolutely correct, considering what it cost to build those cars. The book explains it alot better, but still fails to make sense. In the book, Devon tells Michael that After KARR was built. Wilton Knight was hassled by the government about the Technology, then there were the corporate type spies creeping around. & then Wilton himself was dying, then they had Michael to deal with after they found him in the desert near to death. So they started from scratch again. Which doesn't make sense, since it was all about time. So Yes i agree that they should've had some Whiz-kids like Bonnie reprogramming KARR.
@@dcdrew3 Exactly. As soon as they shut him down, they should have had people there working on KARR. KITT did a lot of good during his time. Imagine what could have been done with two super cars!
@@dcdrew3 I don't think that was really possible at the time. Remember that KARR was in Laboratory 3 which was sealed off and completely dark. As soon as any power was engaged, it reactivated KARR, so it would have been impossible to work in that lab in the dark. I still don't understand how they did it. Was KARR supposed to be connected to some cables that shut him off? Because that goes against his & KITT's self sustained functioning. I know Michael deactivated KITT in an episode (maybe Killer KITT, I forget now) and he did it by pressing some buttons. But if that's what they did to KARR as well, then how could the flip of the power switch in the lab activate KARR? It was never explained and never really thought out.
I think in KITT vs KARR it would've been nice if the episode was 2 hours like the Garthe/Goliath episodes & they should've shown a flashback scene with Ken Franklin, the predecessor to Michael that Devon told Michael about in Knight of the Drones who was killed by CJ Jackson who escaped in that episode. It would have been cool if they had Ken driving KARR in a flashback scene & tailing CJ and finding a connection between him and Tanya Walker's & Fred Wilson's crew, who around that time had been infiltrating Knight Industries. In that scene, KARR having been newly built and not fully aware of his capabilities, would desert Ken to preserve himself, leaving Ken to be unprotected when CJ pulls a gun on him & kills him. Wilton Knight, having realized the mistake in KARR's programming, blames himself for pairing Ken with a faulty piece of technology made by his company and shelves FLAG (including KARR) like Devon said he did in Knight of the Drones up until they find Michael 6 months later (Devon in Trust Doesn't Rust said how KARR was activated 6 months before they found Michael). The only slight contradiction made here is how Devon tells Michael in Knight of the Drones how Ken was killed several years before their conversation in that episode, so that several years would have to be about 2-2.5 years before that episode, which doesn't seem like several. Because any longer than that, and the 1982 model Trans Am that KARR & later KITT were based on would not have existed or been available to buy & modify (unless it came out in 1981 like most car models come out the year before the year of the model). Because we know from what Devon said in Knight of the Drones that there was no FLAG project progression between Ken's death and when they found Michael.
I pointed this all out in another comment I made in the video of this same channel where KARR returns in KITT vs. KARR and mentioned how Devon mentions that FLAG was shelved until they found Michael but how it wasn't specified what that meant. Did Wilton look for prospective candidates before finding Michael Long shot in the desert by Tanya and find Michael Long to be an exemplary candidate based on his record? Furthermore, would Michael Long have even qualified prior to being shot, because he was an active lieutenant in the police force and Wilton had no clue or the luxury of fore/hindsight or expectations that Michael would leave his job & join FLAG?
We do find out in Trust Doesn't Rust that Tanya Walker & crew were infiltrating Knight Industries at around that time & virtually ruined the company with secrets they stole, so my best guess is that stealing of secrets from Wilton by Tanya's group had already happened and Wilton was tailing Tanya and her friends during the events of Knight of the Phoenix and found Michael through following them from a distance. And that fateful night when he found Michael is when he immediately restarted FLAG because with Michael Long declared dead, Wilton would've had a pretty good feeling Michael would join FLAG with his former life now over. So with that sudden revival of the FLAG project, Wilton had no time to reprogram KARR, which would be dangerous if KARR were to suddenly activate and would perhaps be more time consuming to go through every line of KARR's code to see where the errors were than to replicate it and just add new code on top of it that would protect human life & would override the self preservation code by giving it a higher precedence/priority, which does exist in programming. Not to mention because of guilt from Ken's death, Wilton wouldn't want or trust KARR from that point onward and wouldn't want to put Michael with him. This would be similar to how someone who lives in a house where one of their family members died would want to sell the house and not want to live there anymore from the memories, etc.
One additional thing I remember mentioning in that other comment I made in the KITT vs KARR video was how Ken's death & the guilt & grief it caused Wilton could also have been used to explain how Tanya & her group infiltrated Knight Industries, because Wilton seemed too smart & keen to allow something like that to happen, unless he took his eye off the ball & got complacent from being grief-stricken from guilt over Ken Franklin's death. I remember mentioning how all these threads of plot we got throughout the series could have been sewn together like a mosaic to create a nice grand story had they extended KITT vs KARR to 2 hours.
I also mentioned in that comment how I always thought they should've explained how that part of the beach where KARR landed was once used by the military and how in my imagination, I always thought KARR landed on some live/unexploded ordinance or munitions (or a small vessel with some of that to explain the scattered debris we saw in the explosion) that blew a crater in the sand where KARR got stuck & the incoming waves and sand erosion buried KARR underneath. Or if not the military, then maybe it was something terrorists that Michael would have to go after in a future episode would've hidden there while planning their next moves. The explosion and/or impact with the ground would've also damaged his alpha circuits and disconnected the voice modulator cable. I remember mentioning how an added scene in that episode with John telling Mandy how the military used to use that area for operations and how there could be metals that are either precious or could be sold off as scrap metal to John's boss Eddie at the marine to bring them money, which the metal detectors would fall further in line with. I think that would've been a better reason for them to bring those than Spanish doubloons (did Spanish vessels ever make it out to the west coast/CA?).
1:15 Micheal’s boots magically turn from black to tan. 😂
1:46 ghost legs on back window 😂
Bcroft 68 you’re forgetting the car that drove off the cliff was white not black too.
Zombiehunter115 No, I didn’t forget. I was pointing out and laughing at just one of the many errors. 😂
So, amateuristic mistake nr 4 in this outtake.
Aaah, the days of escapist 80's tv. Entertaining but not much more! Who cares, better than the hoard of reality tv rubbish we have nowadays. A-team, Knight Rider, Airwolf etc, still the best. Thanks for the nostalgic upload 👍
A stack of cardboard boxes had those guards totally flummoxed.
Yeah, bamboozled and hoodwinked too! 🙄
Not to mention they were out of the way of the boxes and then walked behind them on their own lol
They looked empty
04:40. They must have taken a nap. No noise, yelling, etc while the thief sorted through the jewels.
This thread is hilarious! 😂
Cant find such 80's simple thrill in 2019.

If KARR sounds familiar its voice actor Peter Cullen who later voiced Optimus Prime in Transformers. Small World
And Coran and Commander Hawkins in Voltron.
i always thought that was him.
A bit of old news there, Pal.
A real interesting piece of trivia is that they brought Peter Cullen back to play KARR in the 2008 reboot of Knight Rider.
So he's famous for voicing two cars that's pretty cool actually
he also did iron hide in transformers and was the narrator in the opening credits of voltron and and was also the voice of eorrh (the blue donkey) from Winnie the pooh.
I remember watching reruns of Knight Rider when I was younger this was on of my favorite episodes
Mine too.
I love and miss every second of the 80s. What fantastic memories I have of this show, how innocent I was and how the world was infinite.
"Michael and Bonnie why are you lying to yourselves " I died😹😹
Perhaps among my most favorite scenes from 'Knight Rider'. My LMAO scene -- KARR activates the ejection seat to get rid of that jewelry thief's weight! :D
.vogů
The crash of KARR at 9:25 is actually footage from the ending of the horror movie ''The car''. The car (a modified Lincoln doesn't look much like KARR) but personality-wise they are very similar.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that shit!lmao!
The second part of the footage was of a pickup truck from some movie or other heading into the drink.
Well, it sure as hell wasn't an '82 Trans-Am. 😂
In the defense of Universal, when the show was first aired, that wasn't really noticed by most.
I saw it immediately because I had seen the footage in the other movies.
You would be surprised just how much "stock footage" gets around.
@Richard Kopel, I don't know the movie, but I noticed it wasn't KARR's car that crashed
6:03: When you're stuck in an argument where no one wins.
Wow, KARR turns into a different model when going off the cliff. I guess it has shapeshifting powers now.
They actually used footage of “The Car”
@@leontransit1652 I was totally about to say that!!! I paused it right as he jumped off the cliff and immediately recognized the scene! LMAO!
czcams.com/video/fvJ8uq_qmu4/video.html
@@leontransit1652 Where did they take the 2nd part of that scene when it hit the ground from? That's what I don't know.
it was from the movie "The Car" and the automobile used in that film was a 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III with a body designed ALSO by George Barris, Same designer for KITT!
The Knight Industries cars has always had shape-shifting abilities. Didn't you see the rebooted Knight Rider show? 😉😁
Unfortunately for KARR, there was a glitch in his programming, since Bonnie never got the time to finish the work on KARR. KARR was actually trying to change into a plane, but faulty programming planted by Bonnie and the damage caused by that first laser shot had a disastrous effect on his shape-changing abilities.
The explosion was caused by KARR landing on a mine, hurling KARR several feet away and causing KARR to go into power saving mode.
This is why we see KARR looking slightly different in the KITT vs KARR episode.
Its Optimus Prime vs Mr. Feeny
Trust Doesn’t Rust:Optimus Prime vs Mr. Feeny
Not to mention, Optimus Prime vs. John Adams or Optimus Prime vs. Dr. Mark Craig
OMG. That's funny.
Fun fact, for the Knight Rider remake, Peter Cullen went full Optimus Prime when he voiced KARR. KARR also literally transforms into a mech.
@@handsome4922 mann i loved that episode too they should have made kit do the samething
I think Bonnie was my first celebrity crush - I don't think I was even 9 yet. 😱
Lol same
When Patricia McPherson left the show our hearts were broken a bit. The replacing April was just too dumb a blonde to be convincing.
Patricia was what they said later about Gillian Anderson: IDDG, or Intellectually Drop Dead Gorgeous.
Yup same here too
April or Bonnie, April.... or.. Bonnie.
Bonnie it is.
Peter Cullen voicing Kaar again in the 2008 series was so awesome to hear
With my vocal chords and personality tied behind my back, I can out voice him.
You know Peter Cullen again did KARR in the reboot of Knight Rider.
6:36-in other words, “you’re too fat, buddy!”
9:18-Bonnie and Michael lying to each other is my favorite part in this episode
9:44-“aww, c’mon and just kiss, already, we all know you wanted to do it”
"No, no, nooo!" 😂
'You always liked her better' What? Are you out of your mind, man?! 🤣
KITT has never liked anyone better! You are his buddy! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
80's was where it all started...😀🌪️
I just noticed they reused the cliff jump footage from "The Car" (1977) at 9:25. Mind blown.
I saw
if you watch the episode involving the ranchers...they used the superman dam blocking footage
yes they also used the same engine noise from the car as well did you notice that lol
Even more mind blowing is that another episode they reused footage from Superman the movie in a rockslide sequence
Love knight rider/the A-team/the fall guy/dukes of hazard plus other car related tv programs from the 1980s as they was the best times ever for action series programs of that time and era!!!!
The first episode with KARR was voiced by Peter Cullen but in the last and final episode, KARR was voiced by Paul Frees and I think I prefer Paul’s voice even though I’m a huge Peter Cullen fan! Paul Frees had a seriously maniacal voice which fit KARR’s personality a bit better in comparison to Peter Cullen. Either way, both voice actors did a fantastic job!💪🏻🤘🏻
Surprising they have 2 different voice actors for K.A.R.R. in Knight Rider.
All I hear is Optimus prime 😳
@@risco1974 Peter Cullen was the first one who played K.A.R.R. in Knight Rider before Paul Frees.
But what if someone had the same demanding force of Cullen's KARR but the maniacal style of Frees.
Fricking shivers man.
True. Cullen is great but Frees had a more sinister tone that lent to the revenge angle of the second KARR episode.
It’s Optimus prime’s former life.
Bumble Bee: Prime, is it true you were once a car?
Prime: ...Yeah we don’t talk about that.
Bumble Bee: And weren't you evil as a car?
Prime: I said that's enough Bumble Bee! This discussion is over. Now let's go kick Megatron's butt!
Bumble Bee: Ok Optimus!
Optimus: Autobots roll out!
"I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message:
We are here. We are waiting.
We do not forgive. We do not forget.
Expect us."
Some awesome throwbacks right here. I remember having the toys and rolling them around talking like Kitt and Karr. This was CARS before CARS ever existed.
I like K.I.T.T. better than K.A.R.R.
This is my childhood right here😭😭wayy back in 2005 this used to show on the television and i used to be hooked to it from the time it begins to the time it ends😭i gotta say this is one of the best car show ever made
Ended too soon, Stop short of Bonnie & Michael ALMOST Kissing, they both stopped short & said NAAAAAA! before pulling back, 😂🤣
It's funny you can still see legs and boots flying in the wind as Karr rounds the second bend at 1:46 seconds
Peter Cullen did a great job with KARR's voice.
Fun fact: Peter Cullen did Optimus Prime in the original Transformers.
@@amymartin4435 Yes and he also did the intro about the man who doesn't exist.
I’m glad they gave KITT the “KARR-esque” voice modulator display in later seasons. Looks so much better. I was always fascinated with that thing as a kid.
Odd that the show never gave an explanation for where KARR got a yellow scanner or gray bottom in his second appearance. At least I think he was sort of two-toned but that was 20 years ago last time I saw it.
It was mainly to let the audience know which car was KARR and which one was KITT. There was complaints from this episode that it was hard to tell which was which. He was two toned, the lower parts were silver the upper was black. The scan bar changed to a yellow/green color too. Also he was a bit more sadistic, possibly due to the damage from going over the cliff... If memory serves, someone found him buried and dug him up, repaired the damage and off we go again.
Yes in 3rd season Kitt vs Karr it says the salt water had caused his scanner to change to a yellow. And Karr says he wants to alter his image as a disguise. Thats where the silver came from
Explanation is simple; producers of the show had their brains burnt by cocaine. That's why scripts were so bad..
well in this episode Karr didn't fly off the cliff, that was a blue and white 19 57 chevy
@@jrag1000 No, it was the car from the movie THE CAR ... they stole the scenes directly from the movie and spliced them into this show. I think it was too expensive for them to ACTUALLY use one of the Knight Rider cars and perform the stunt.
"One shall stand, One shall fall" would've fit perfectly as a line for KARR
The 80's was the best era with tv shows
Nah, WONDER WOMAN, SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN were better
Watched this as a kid... Guess it's one of the reasons I like fast cars and pretty girls...
@Three Eighty-Six Soccer moms.
i like pretty cars and fast girls.
Corny show, but one of the best TV show theme songs ever.
All theme songs in the 80s were great. Even the catchy jingles in ads too
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Just a typical 80's show I'd say :P
I loved this episode very, very much! Conversations between KITT & KARR really nice and at the climax Michael tricked KARR! Excellent job done by Michael!
I grew up in the ‘90s so this, MacGyver, Star Trek TNG and the animated X-Men series were atop my tv shows. Man I miss that ‘80s/‘90s era. Was right on the cusp of modern era technology but we hadn’t yet lost our collective minds like today. Was a much simpler time…Miss them
Both Kitt and karr battles were the greatest ever
KARR: Yes, I see. It is the inferior production line of copy.
KITT: I heard that, KARR, and you haven't seen anything yet.
Prototype. You keep using that word, KARR. I don't think you know what it means....
Man this was more than I ever could of expected. Came here for a couple laughs
and came away favorably impressed. They could of got more mileage out of KARR but thats show biz. That stunt which ended at 1:25 was pretty impressive
"Mileage out of KARR".
I see what you did there
Didn't he come back (despite exploding!) anyway, or is this his second appearance?
@@johnpotts8308he came back later
80s nostalgia, back when cool shit like this was the best..... can I go back pleeeeaaassse?
Years later and now we see the imperfections on these old shows. Going thru a wall that was put up on a garage entrance you can see the open door above. Also the car falling off the cliff isn't the same car. Love it.
Not to mention numerous scenery changes as KARR turbo boosts over KITT.
Yeah, and wasn't it kind of KARR to slow down(1:08) so that Michael could safely make the leap between cars! KARR had to decelerate from a whopping 20mph all the way down to 15mph!
How convenient is it that KITT and KARR look exactly alike, so that the studio didn't have to spend any money to come up with a new vehicle!
And if we notice they reuse this same car falling clip throughout the whole season and above
@@Lcgmatheus
Really? They recycled that scene over and over in different episodes? I could see maybe once, but beyond that it's pretty lame. 😒
Also in some of the driving scenes you can see the blue and green screen used for the scenes .
HAHA 1:46 it's footage from Michael being on top of KARR, since you can barely see Michael's foot on the rear window, but he's actually driving KITT
Mm oi
Hoje ou no
Must've been quite a complicating sequence to shoot that they forgot to shoot a close up shot on KARR there without Michael being on his rooftop.
8p x
@@AndrewChapman It looks like an editing mistake. They didn’t need that shot, but it’s there. How’d that get missed?
@@billionairelivesmatter Well they were obviously filming Knight Rider on a tight budget and were probably rushing to get the editing completed in time before the episode was due to air. Probably didn't have time to completely observe the footage to see which was the best take for that close up shot at 1:46.
Sooo everyone just gone ignore the fact that Michaels hair when he got back in the car was absolutely perfect curls in all .
Stunt double was used.
As a kid I was so psyched about this. Kitt vs Car was awesome
Karr is misunderstood. He really was not evil it was not money or power that he craved. He only a temporary prototype built for testing , granted fully awareness, and is simply guilty of wanting to maintain his consciousness and have a fair chance to live.
His character could have had more development because he could have told Kitt that he has the same fate awaiting him too as the humans would shut him down one day as well. That could have planted a major seed of doubt in KITT's mind causing him to act or do react uncharacteristic and unloyal much later on. #missedopportunity
They could have definitely drawn out that plot.
Blame the programmers...
@@sweetdaddy77 They kinda did with the Knight Rider 2000 movie. KITT was shut down and disassembled. Michael got recruited once again to fight crime and KITT was in boxes. Michael installed KITT into a 57 Chevy and he was none too happy about that. Eventually he was installed into a Pontiac Banshee prototype and then he was happy once again. Not a bad movie, not as good as the TV show was but much better than the reeboot with the mustang.
@SMBComix It was both actually. It restarted a long cancelled TV show (reboot) as well as kept in the same world and timeline (Sequel). I thought they did a great job there, but when the car could change into all these wild things, that is where they lost me. It lost the character charm of the first show.
In Kitt vs Karr there was no dialogue between Kitt and Karr. Only Michael and Karr. I was highly disappointed
Like how at 1:15, michael footwear magically changes😂
I love how the cars just jump over things with no ramp lol
Turbo boost
The ramps are really well hidden for those stunts
Love how we can see the stunt legs in the car scene both before and very after Michael dropped off Karr
Wow, Karr's last words were turn away, turn away and then "NOOOOOO"!!!!!!
At the end of the episode, KITT has a deep philosophical moment, "Being one of a kind, is a very familiar feeling.". Now that KARR has been destroyed, KITT feels he is the only one.
Little did KITT know, there was RIDE.
I like this episode. An you picked good music at the end. Thank You Loader.
Those panel gaps. Second one they're huge, literally the bonnet is about to fly off and in the next shot all is fine, everything is well aligned. Amazing!
I guess that the reason KARR could come back is that he fooled them with stock footage from the 1977 movie The Car 🤷♂️
I remember this episode. I loved all of the 80s television shows because they were wholesome family shows
I was about 13 when I first saw KARR. He gave me nightmares and scared the living hell out of me. There's just something evil sinister demonic about him. He still freaks me out a little today
TODD M
If you want to be freaked out by a car, then you should watch the movie Christine. 😄
Haha! No thanks, I'll pass. My friend keeps trying to get me to watch horror movies, and she mentioned a classic called "Christine" the other day. I think the two of you have joined against me. :-)
The end had me dying, No noooooo right off the cliff, & it was a different color car 😆
9:25 It was at this moment....K.A.R.R realized he was really a 1957 Bel Aire Coupe.
It was 1971 Lincoln Continental from The Car (1977).
I'm glad KARR's red light was changed from red to yellow to distinguish himself from KITT.
And also when he received a two tone paint job as well as his own 'KARR' licence plate.
At 1:46 from the inside view of Bonnie inside Karr, it still shows Michaels legs through the back window after Michael already got back inside Kitt.
I came here to see if anyone else noticed that same thing!!
Cars doing 30 mph in framerate x2.5, those were the 80's, i love it!
When I was a child, I used to watch and enjoy this amazing car
So did i.I still do now.
Wow the memories growing up watching this show and so many other cool tv shows at that time.
Kcaaww
3:25 Kitt is in hot pursuit doing a blistering 27mph
had to get to the gas station first lol
"This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!"
It's a good thing MICHAEL had his super jumping boots with the ability to change colors as he leaps from object to object. Whoow.
No vehicles were harmed in the making of this series of shows...
Oh, quite a few where, Including a dozen Trans Ams that where acquired in late Season 1 due to a train derailment.
i grew up in the early 2000's but i was introduced to this show thanks to my dad and ever since then i look back on these episodes with fond memories and i gotta say it was sad that KARR only showed up twice in the show how great would it have been if Garth and KARR met it would have been amazing to see the originals meet their "doubles" together
edit: that moment when KARR drives off of the cliff was a scene taken from "the car" how ironic
K.A.R.R saying no no before exploding cracked me up.
Great episode
the moment Michael almost kissed Bonnie thou !!!!
I know it should have been Michael marrying Bonnie that would have been a great back story to the ,2008 Knight rider but they fucked that up
Did they get it off in the back seat, time to test the suspension...
I KNOW! The writing in this episode was epic top to bottom. Bonnie loved her some Michael.
9:23 c
Karr had a Stunt Double😁
It was borrowed footage from the Universal archives from a 1977 movie The Car about a demonically possessed Lincoln. Which looks NOTHING like an 80s Firebird . Lazy editing
I found this channel and have been grinning for the the last hour since😂😂❤ it. Member berries Thank you for putting these out there.
I loved this movie back in the 80's I would love to have this kind of car if can precide drive auto cruise itself ..
Did anyone notice that - at the instant KARR went over the side - it actually looked like a ‘57 Chevy (or some similarly aged antique)?
LOL yup you're right
That was actually the ending from an old 1977 movie "The Car" which was a customized lincoln mark III spliced in.
Lol only noticed that..... Immediately. I mean WTAF they didn't even try! Also love that the brackets they use to tow the car for action scenes are clear as day. Oh well still a great show!
It was a clip from the movie The Car!
@@INFAMOUSLSG You win the daily double!👊👊👊👊👊👊
1:45. michael still on the roof of the guys car even though hes actuallty back inside Kitt.
I Just noticed the feet in the back :0 u get a like
Good eye I would have never noticed that!
And yet KARR returns in another episode. The Timex of Evil Robot Cars of the 80’s!
Love it.
4:20 love how the cops/guards just willingly walk into the adhoc trap made for them 😂
And are also apparently unable to climb up a few boxes either!
"We're gonna stop that car one way or another..."
Next moment:
*Hurt in a car? Call William Mattar.*
Everyone keeps talking about why KARR was different in the second episode etc. Well I'm sure the writers and designers in the first episode used the same cars (because they had a few at a time) that they had used for KITT. And I'm sure that the KARR was supposed to be permanently destroyed in the first episode. I would have assumed that the police and the Knight Foundation would have gone to the beach below and done a recovery of all the components. But I a few months later when the writers were coming up for ideas for upcoming episodes that they decided to bring back KARR. And they just said, well, "maybe he really didn't explode into pieces and he just had and explosive fart when he hit the ground below." Also, they wanted to make KARR to look a bit more menacing and different from KITT during his second coming. Being that it was the 80s audiences really didn't scrutinize the details of plot lines as we would today. I think because today, we expect the quality of the stories and production to be a lot higher today and we usually can call out some BS when we see it. Also, we can watch these things over and over, do instant replay, if you will, and point out all the flaws that weren't seen on a couple of runs of the episode. Take, for example the new Star Wars movies. They're doing a lot of things that fans are calling out as not making sense, non-cannon or BS.
I have never watched it.That movie is beautiful .Nice to watch the complete episode. Thanks for sharing..
Love this episode
