I was blown away at the beginning where you showed your forensic skills in finding Karrs hideout.
I'm also really grateful to you for continuing to put out episodes so regularly.
I think you've produced more Knight Rider content than the original TV show did - and some of your uploads are longer than the TV episodes.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for your kind words! We are grateful to have you around!
Totally loved the forensic search for Karr's hideout as well! Really exceptional job with this content! So glad people like you are doing such an amazing job at keeping our childhood memories alive and well ;) Keep up the good work! Greetings from Portugal!
Actually the first hideout place was mentioned already somewhere on the net. Can´t remember where I read it, but I knew it before. Maybe from Facebook.
@KnightRiderHistoriansOfficial you do such detailed programmes talking about knightrider. Is amazing
The tower you mention at 7:40 is one of the cranes for loading containers onto ships at Terminal Island across the main channel of the harbor. Love the video! -Brian S.
Yes, and that crane is now moved but you can see similar ones down to the right along the opposite shore.
The Artemus Street location is the same where Street Hawk jumps out of the brick building (Headquarters) with the fake, opening MAXIE sign. He then accelerates by the white building with the text "help" written on it. You can see the brick building at the end of the street.
The Rucket's Hardware Store was 222 E 5th St, Lost Angeles. I was pretty sure it was the same place from the address I found, but the building on the left with the bow windows that stick out on the left confirmed it. It's still there, but the area has changed a lot in 50 years. Oh, and the Loans sign saying 213 also confirmed it.
Edit: doing some more looking around at that building on the left, with the bow windows. I looked at it from the front and was like "wait, is that what I think it is?". It's the firehouse that was used for the interiors for the Ghostbusters firehouse. Which was also Egg Shen's hideout in Big Trouble In Little China. Sometimes it's good to be a filming locations nerd.
You found the former Fire station No. 23 at 225 East Fifth Street. And yes ,that's where the production team filmed the interior scenes.
The name of the hardware store was Entz & Rucker. I found it in a search, there is an eBay ad for a catalog from their store in 1931. And yes, the location of the GB firehouse interiors on the left.
@@TBird100636 Yup, that's what I found to get the address.
That is so cool! Glad you figured it out!
@21:11 I believe that's at Mesa and 14th street heading East. That building on the right past the stop sign is 383 W. 14th St in San Pedro.
Nice job! That's definitely it!
I bet they filmed there because they liked that damaged Beetle :P
Confirmed. I just found it, too, then saw your comment. Great job!
Agreed :) Took about 30 seconds using 3D Apple Maps and traveling along Mesa street
confirmed just found it my self great work finding it @escapedgoat
And interesting the footage of KARR jumping off the cliff was the same footage used in the movie The Car when it went off the cliff. The Car, and KARR. Funny that!
30:59 is the Chicken Ranch on Universal, KITT is driving on the Steven Spielberg Drive heading Melinda Gordon´s House under Elm Street
The car chase from 30:29 is on Universal grounds. The white building above right from KITT on 30:38 is 3375 Blair Drive, Los Angeles.
Pure nostalgia! I was a growing up teenager in the 80's when i saw Knight Rider on television. Such great memories of that wonderful decade.
Thanks for keep the history of Knight Rider alive and adding to it. I have been a fan of the since it first started back in the '80's and your channel the only part of the series was Team Knight Rider.
Joe, this is one of the coolest videos you have ever put together. Well done.
Wow, thanks!
I have been to Greystone Mansion ,I was there with my mum when we went on holiday to L.A in 1996 from the UK.
At 25:47 the Dancing Waters. This was the Waters Club. A local venue for bands. My old band played here several times. They had a lifting drum riser with a waterfall behind it. A lot of 80’s rock bands played there.
I used to live in San Pedro I’ll have to check these spots out next time I go back and visit and some spots I didn’t realize were filming locations for knight rider
Great video! 1982 it was still very common to 70's cars on regular basis, that Vette wasn't out of place so that could very well be a 1982 establishing shot.
The city hall building was also used in the tv show Emergency and it was in the Rockford Files as well. Which makes sense since all of them were Universal Studios shows. It was also used for the police station in the show Starsky & Hutch. I'm gonna say that the street where you can see the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the background is either Harbor Blvd. or Miner Street. But if pressed I would have to go with Harbor Blvd. because of how close the bridge is in the clip. I've been all over Long Beach, San Pedro and the L.A. Harbor area. My Late Dad was a proud member of Pile Driver's Local 2375 in Wilmington, CA. He worked the harbor area for 30 years. R.I.P Mom and Dad. I miss you both more everyday.
Stock footage at 5:22 is taken from around the intersection of S Los Angeles St and E 5th Street, looking south east. The building mid-frame is still there on the corner of Wall St/E 5th St.
Wow I almost didn't recognize that street, and I'm very familiar with that area! That is definitely the same location, but the entire south side of the street are newer buildings now. And the start of the construction site behind the sedan driving is now the LAPD Central community police station. It opened in 1977, so that puts this footage from around 1975-1976.
I live in San Pedro now and I know most of these places. Dancing waters was just torn down last week.
4:40 The tall building with the bay window on the left is Fire Station No. 23 in Los Angeles at 5th street. Still there but in bad shape.
Sourced by that mural that says 'Union Stage Depot'
That is definitely the same location, the entire south side of the street are all newer buildings now. And the start of the construction site behind the sedan driving is now the LAPD Central community police station. It opened in 1977, so that puts this footage from around 1975-1976.
I paused this video at 7:45 where you show the shot of KITT leaving the back alley. I didn’t want any spoilers. It took me about 15 mins., but I found the location in Google Earth, using only the landmarks visible in the shot.
Man, it's awsome. You look at all the details...i'm 40 years old and i see night rider in Portugal when i'm 6,7 y.old. i love the car and it's nostalgic to me. Love your channel. Keep continuing your work. Cheers
27:35 This location may very well be the current location of the State Of Ca Dept Of Fish & Game at 229 W 22nd St.
If you look in the far left background is a large single storey pitched roof building which can be see the gable end of the building if you go left to Signal Street at number 2221 which is the Berth 58 building...
To the right of the building (KARR's hide out) is Miner Street (Miner street has been moved further to the west but the remains of the street can be seen as a back alley on a property occupied by SSA Marine...
I double checked that location on historic aerials and in 1985 it look right.
I found KARR's second hideout - it is further down the alley after evading the Police. Behind Distrito Coffee and Compagnon wine bistro that are on W 7th Street.
You beat me to it. You get the points on this one :-D
Thankyou for this fascinating video on KARR's secret hideout this is brilliant,I always wondered if KARR had a secret place where he could lurk until he wanted to pounce on poor unsuspecting car drivers.
Berth 585960 was used in an episode of THE A-Team. Same exact spot. In the episode they drive a car into the water between 585960 and 57
That is also a great serie!. Do you know which episode?
Knight Rider Historians Official- I had to laugh at what you pointed out around 19:03-19:56.
K.I.T.T. & Michael Knight literally drove past the scene of the crime--that being The 3 Ring restaurant.
I have something to point out, now & laugh at when I watch 'Trust Doesn't Rust', next time...
Great episode, thank you. I'm now wondering how many of these roads I went on back in 2017 when I was around that area getting lost a bit in the car with the family lol and didn't even know it was filmed there.
Always love me some KARR content. That is some google map detective skills to find the alley.
This is nuts! I was watching the episode this week and wanted to find this location and didn’t think you’d found it - well done and perfect timing. I want to go have a look.
Knight Rider preserved because of you guys
Bet you that second Karr hideout is the body shop as the round thing on top looks like it could be one of the vents.
Which body shop are you referring to?
@@KnightRiderHistoriansOfficial the one you pointed out with the two vents on top. If looking from the side say where a door would be you would only see the one vent. Would make total sense since you could get a car there to film.
The ones here? 23:46 That was my first thought but, watching this on a large monitor I decided against due to the colour. Note: that second hideout scene shows a building (and vehicle) reflected in KARR's bodywork
Awesome video Joe and AJ!! Great to see these videos locations after all these years!! Just before KARR explodes, stock footage is used from the movie 'The Car - 1977'.
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro!
Thanks for another great video! 😊
Great work😊!
Awesome. Great Detective Work.
The building at 7:52 is San Pedro City Hall Building in between 6th and 7th street on S Harbor Blvd. The alley looks like S Center Street next to the Happy Diner. There is a build that blocks the view of the city hall from that alley now.
I stopped the video to write this not knowing you found it.
Thank you guys! I love this stuff!
Joe, you are a genius, I am very impressed by your dedication and love for the Knight Rider, people like you have kept the Knight Rider alive, Good work.
@32:15 location looks like North bound Harbor Blvd between 6th St and 3rd St . Lots of changes
great episode!
Enjoying the series so far!!
WOW, great detective work, captain. Thanks for sharing.
Very thorough and well done video! The comparison shots between then and now are very interesting!
12:35 crazy good detective work finding that, enjoyed that.
Hi Jo Nice video 📹 and workmanship and hi Kitt and Karr and the way Joe got built and Me Texting 😅
Once again, great detective work joe. I love these location videos.
Hi. From Minnesota. 😊
Great work. Amazing how many of these locations *haven't* been built over.
So much history! Things were just so much simpler then!!! :D
Thank you for all the hard work guys!
Thank you for sharing the videos as always!
I've loved the making of, and the Locations. I have a Google Earth with loads of these KR locations on it. Plus other shows and movies.
I knew about Courthouse Square. When Michael slams the dash "noooo", tho shot ends blurred I think, from memory...
I never spotted that facade from when KARR jumps out thru the doorway. When I watch it again, I won't be able to NOT see it! Nice work Joe.
You guys are incredible
Incredible!! 😮
Amazing skills in finding that alleyway!
That’s so dope I wish you would do more of these like consistently
It's a lot of fun to watch.
Seeeeee....this is why I watch y'all! Bro you be goin hard ( doing a great job) finding these locations. You and Adam the woo should do a location video one day for Knight Rider! That would be the most detailed an awesome location video experience I think the internet has ever seen and I do not mean that as an exaggeration.
I'm from UK, but every time we go racing in the States, we always go Drinking at Godmothers Saloon. I recognized that 1st Alley way instantly. I was hoping you hadn't found that one.
This was a fun search :)
The intersection on Mesa Street is at W 14th street (21:15). That building is very recognisable.
On Google Street View you can also look at previous photos from several years back, about 2008, but those locations in the beginning were all already like they are now...
Brilliant!! 😉👍
Thank you for sharing this very interesting video location’s watching from South Africa
The Knight Museum does appear to have the same colours as the stages at Universal studios. Would make sense to film those scenes there.
Thanks to knight Riders historians we just travel on time...
We find the locations !
he should update it, make a real movie, why Google maps ?
Man, I really enjoy these location videos.
@37:00 this location is also used in Grand Theft Auto 5 (south harbour) great to disvover this by watching your video.
Good Job 👍
San Pedro municipal building in the distance there was also Police HQ in Starsky & Hutch..!
Knight Rider Historians Official- Is it just me, or, is that a Comtron truck in the background around 40:23?...
I think so, but, I don't remember.
I also remember Comtron being referenced in other episodes of 'Knight Rider', as well via the semi-trucks/trailers/etc., but, I can't remember what they are, for the life of me.
Great video! Probably is nerdy but I do enjoy looking on Google Maps of different places around the world.
21:13 Your location is 400 W 14th St San Pedro CA. Loving this series!!!!!!
That was mentioned here a several times before. Doesn´t anybody read the comments?
It's San Pee-dro, not San Pay-dro! Tony and Red's hideout is the east canal, over by Warehouse One. I've shot cars over there before, recognize that warehouse! Also, the British Car place originally was a Ford Dealership! It's such a neat building. I wonder if Karr's second hideout is closer to where the Iowa is now docked, likey off Pacific as well
They used the Spanish pronunciation here, you could justify both for different reasons.
No i want to say that @32:04 is actually Beacon Street because of its row of palm trees. Others guessed Harbor or Miner, which are definitely good guesses as well. In this case, video would probably help.
G'day this is my first of these Location videos I have seen & really enjoyed it, I will have to go back & watch from the start.
Thanks for taking us sight seeing around San Pedro looking at these filming Locations, Google Earth is so cool for this & seeing how the sights have changed over the years...
or not as like Coles Batteries at 24:37 while the sign has changed Ground Floor is still Godmothers
Another great episode of sleuthing. Thanks for all you do!
Imagine someone "recreating" some of the episodes by filming at the same locations! I know that's just a waste of time and money, but the side by side would be amazing!
Great job
Didnt everywhere look better back then.
I watch the channel 80's life and he does a lot of movie locations then and now. Again places look much better back then.
And they call it progress
Great episode and awesome locations, cool find that KARR's first hideout 🙂👍
I wonder if the up going road at the end of KITT and KARR chase was maybe the same as in Forget Me Not, where the girl jumped out from the Cadillac Seville?
Happy Birthday!
24:55 KARRs4Kids.......
Cool 😍
4:21 Greystone Mansion was the backdrop for Dark Shadows (1991) too . . . I wonder how many films and TV show it was in?
One of those actors plays E.B. Farnum in Deadwood right?
Stalking is a human right, not a commodity :D Good job Joe, as usual
Love the Knight Rider Historians channel but one question, if you could choose an extension issue for the fanhome KITT build would you choose parts to display the car as KITT or KARR or would you choose the super pursuit mode look 👍
Is this a free for all question? I would choose SPM just because I really liked it! So 1 point SPM so far!
41:10 is on Universal grounds. Just in front of the Stage 14 and the newer parking deck between River Road and James Stwart Ave. Also the building with the company sign .....Owsen where KITT heads towards the police car a few minutes earlier (you didn´t mention in your video) is there. In the back you can see the parking deck at River Road.
KARR at the drive thru was hilarious. KARR was boss.
on the episode when KARR fell off the cliff, it looked like a old 1957 Chevy on the cut when KARR was falling on the scene
😮😮😮coooool. 👍
When David Hasselhoff did the spin and got out of his car, he should’ve had a beer in his hand.😜
At @32:05 that specific street with the Vincent Thomas bridge in the background is actually down the street from the San Pedro City Hall. I believe the street name is specifically S.Becon St and a notable landmark on the street would be the San Pedro United States Post Office and if I'm not mistaken the address is 808 S.Beacon St. I could be wrong about the address but if you Google San Pedro post office you'd get the correct address and if you did the street view and go further down from the post office you'd find the location with the Vincent Thomas bridge in the background. You'll see the row of palm trees and the shipping containers across the port off of the water. The benches are still there today but the benches are different then they were in your screen shot. I hope this is helpful.
The downtown location with the corvette is downtown LA; probably Spring Street around 2nd street. The area has been redeveloped since the 70s/80s but one of the brick building is still there.
Hi I really really love these filming locations videos ro what's like then and now ... I was watching a video with the 86 film the wraith locations that was intreasting found some car parts
Hi. I'm Larry. This is my brother Darryl and this is my other brother Darryl.
20:55 it is Mesa St. and 14th St. The Building is still there. Greetings from Germany
@20:58 Mesa Street and the corner of W 14th Street. Same building on right, power lines in the correct location and fire hydrant still there too
The back lot shot at 31:43 was used for so many things. About where the park bench is, is the spot the telephone booth was in the very first twilight zone with earl holliman. That "drug store" at the corner had an alley on the left side and earl talked to a maniquin in a truck and then ran across the street to the phone booth. The drug store was also in many leave it to beavers like when he lost his bike at that store. Back then if you walked down that street (same street marty got up to 88mph on, you would round a corner to the right and be on beavers house and a couple houses down, the ghost & mr. chicken house and a couple more houses down was the munsters house.
In the first part those buildings look like they could have been the buildings that stored the film on the backlot of Universal Studios. I worked at Universal during this time period in Security as my day job as a young actor so I was on the backlot 5 days a week. The Knight Rider cars were there so they did a lot of filming on the backl😂ot. I used to drive a car around the lot and occasionally work in certain buildings and sound stages. I had keys to a lot of stuff and even worked as the communications operator sometimes for security so I knew the backlot very well. It didn't pay the best but it was probably one of the most fun jobs I ever had
The KARR episodes were some of the best ever.
21:13 The intersection is Mesa Street and West Ninth Street (looking south). The pink house on the left side of the picture is still pink!!
Your location I believe you were looking for is mesa and w 14th st San Pedro
