The Knight Rider Historians really enjoyed this one!
Awesome!
I loved this show when I was a kid
I love Knight Rider, i a.m a huge fan of thr show.
Knight Rider was one of the few new programs in the early 1980s that actually succeeded when broadcast against Dallas. Every other show got cancelled. Good job Glen A. Larson and David Hasselhoff.
For me, all the little imperfections are honestly part of the charm of the series. It was simply a different time before everything could be obscured with computer effects.
Loved this show back in the good ole days.
Ich liebe sie heute noch❤
I'll always love this awesome show even with mistakes
Yeah, it was a fun show!
Fun show indeed
I grew up watching Knight Rider in the '80s, I loved that show! This video was pretty interesting. I saw on youtube how they used model trans ams for a lot of the jumps. I guess back on low def tv we didn't notice a lot of this.
That's true, things you can get away with more with smaller screens. They used models sometimes on the Fallguy and the last season of the Dukes too. Models were impressive in their detail, but even back in the day, something seemed off about those model scenes compared to real life car stunts.
The pickup truck stunt was too funny! Between the two dummies as passengers, the stunt driver who was half the age of the actor he is supposed to be portraying, and then wearing the crash helmet, they weren't too concerned about making it look realistic. 😂
I hope you all enjoy my latest goofs video. This one took a while longer than usual. There seems to be a lot of interesting goofs and facts on Knight Rider and there's more I didn't get to put in the video.
Please do another one of knight Rider, loved this
That was excellent. Thanks 👍
Nothing is ever perfect, even on tv shows and hollywood.
Very enjoyable Knight Rider vid. 😘👍
Thank you very much!
I call it the Dukes of Hazard magic repair shot
In the 2nd goliath episode when michael gets dr nordstrom out of the semi the rear doors mysteriously close and latch themselves.
I know a lot about the behind the scenes stuff. When KITT seems rubbery on some jumps, its because the car is! They had a stunt car dubbed the "Flivver car" that was basically a VW dunebuggy with a rubber shell made off of KITT on it and during that one turbo boost over the dry river where all the stuff flies off, the plate thing that flies off is the Knight license plate and the cloth that hangs out of the window is Michael Knights leather jacket. I learned all this on Knight Rider Historians
Can't wait for part 2!
Thanks
On 6:45 Michael not only got a Crash Test Dummy, KITT even lost his scanner and front part. ;-)
As someone who grew up in the 80s loved Knight Rider, especially Kit, because being a visually impaired person who’d never be able to get a driver’s license and hoped one day in the future I’d be able to get an car just like Kit 😊
We may not be too far away from getting cars that can drive themselves, but I'm not sure if they'll have a good personality like KITT though.
Thanks for a great video! Alan Oppenheimer was also in season 1 "Deadly Maneuvers", playing a general.The jump scene from the topaz connection the black object coming out of the drivers window was the black jacket that David Hasselhoff wore,stunt man Jack Gill forgot to wear it and it came out during the jump The scene from Big Iron when the bulldozer knocked the Trans Am with the Michael Knight Dummy in it down the hill the Trans Am has the factory stock front and the wrong style of front seats .I'm looking forward to your follow up video!
Thanks, probably won't be the very next video, but I'll be working on it soon. I've got a lot of the work done already.
The car. ( Kit) had that distinct voice. While watching " The Graduate" I recognized Dustin Hoffmans dads voice as Kits.
Even with the goofs, still is & was a great tv show compared to the some of the rubbish we see today & the stunts were good old fashion hard way & not CGI!!!!
I do appreciate the old special effects in that they feel like they are really there and modern effects tend to feel like video games sometimes. I definitely loved the old car stunts. That took a lot of guts to pull off back then.
Yes, the underside of KITT was very vexing to me as a kid! Every toy different too. So hard to suspend disbelief. I wanted to believe KITT as a real, albeint remotely controlled car. Lol, I was thick.
Watching these goofs somehow makes the show even better!!!! 😂🤘
Awesome! I'll always be a Knight Rider fan. I still want to get an exact replica of KITT someday.
Great job and very well researched and constructed sir! Tom H.
Thanks
The jump in the topaz connection. That was Jack Gill that performed that stunt. The black cloth that you saw by the driver's window was actually a black leather jacket that Jack Gill forgot to put on before the stunt to look like Micheal Knight. He had mentioned that years later in an interview.
In the third season episode *Lost Knight* where K.I.T.T. loses his memory in the scene where K.I.T.T. is trying to protect Doug Wainwright, played by Jason Bateman, from the two antagonists Bobby and Julius (Anthony James and Karl Johnson) the Turbo Boost that is performed by Doug Wainwright is the exact same scene only with the film image is mirrored considering that K.I.T.T. was driving in the opposite direction. The only other thing that *Lost Knight* and *Knightmares* have in common other than being an amnesia-themed episode is the episodes both feature dams in them.
Mystery solved, thanks.
Love the way you say, "Michael"....😂 That country accent
Thanks
that black cloth was the Michael Knight's leather jacket :)
I noted the pinching footage from Superman way back in the day. In the KR pilot, after KITT returns to Michael after being stolen, you can see the stunt drivers arm made to look like the seat. There's one stunt I recall, where KITT jumps onto the rear of a car transporter & Michael inches along the top to get to the cab when - correct me if I'm wrong - a baseball cap suddenly goes past, probably from the film crew behind the camera. KR is being repeated on the Legend channel here in the UK, I'm noticing more bits of 'indestructible' KITT flying off when jumping. For some big jumps, its blindingly obvious for landing, KITT will hit the ground like a dart, but the landing angle always changes!. I feel sorry for glaziers in LA, whenever they are transporting huge glass panes about, KITT comes along and smashes through them😉. The Foundation's insurance premium must be huge!. And when they back up out of the semi...why is it always going the wrong way?.
Sure! Give us another one!
Loved Knight Rider, A Team, Airwolf, those were the days❤
Also i loved Seaview, the sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
that is right and also what i saw, but people just look at this series for the fun, the intertaiment
Remember the two-part episode of "Diff'rent Strokes" ("Hooray For Hollywood") guest-starring David Hasselhoff and KITT?
I forgot all about that one. Thanks for the reminder. I think I saw it at least once back when it first aired, but I had to look it up to remember seeing it.
You're very welcome, @@tvcrazyman! The two-parter "Hooray For Hollywood" is one of my favorite episodes of "Diff'rent Strokes"! Enjoy your evening, bro!
I remember watching Knight Rider on NBC back in the 80s, and H & I last year before they took it off.
Sir, that was a lot of fun! I'm 61. That explains my interest in your excellent narration, interesting facts, and exillerating trivia! Than you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much!
I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to make a show like this in the 80s. It's interesting that you almost never see a blue screen shot in a show like this because it was (A) Too expensive and (B) Didn't look very good. Everything had to be done practically.
Would love to see a part two to this. Good video.
Thanks.
Lance Legault played two Characters on “Battlestar Galactica “
Lance Legault was also on Werewolf which was part of Fox's original lineup. He played bounty hunter Joe Rogan who chased the show's star Eric Cord.
I remember that show. That's the one with Chuck Connors from the Rifleman. He was the evil werewolf.
You are correct sir! Chuck Connors played the evil werewolf Janos Skorzeny. I read that was Connors' last acting role.
The Bates Motel is also seen in the background in Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.
he also put floppy disc in backwards
Easy answer. KITT's mom was a 1958 Plymouth.
That is a stunt driver !
when I grew up as a kid everyone loved knightrider & I was a big fan of street hawk even tho street hawk flopped 😀
Yeah, it didn't last long. Remember the Max Headroom show?
Don't remember that show what was it about?
He started out on coke commercials. He was a strange AI computerized dude. They turned him into a tv series. He was everywhere on TV commercials, but the series itself wasn't a very big hit. The guy that did his voice actually went on to voice the 90's Pink Panther.@@Pratman
The Psycho house shows up at least three times during the series.
In the episode Big iron when KITT gets hit by the bulldozer & it goes rolling down the hill it's a regular black Trans -Am it doesn't have the red light or special front bumper
The 70s and 80s were not known for a time of technical precision or budgets. As you know when we were younger and watch, the shows, this stuff never stood out we were just always into the show and fantasizing having cars and trucks like these. Even to this day, there are many movies that involved Transportation, such as airplanes, cars, trucks, and trains. Most of the technical jargon and actions are not accurate. Incidentally, that placard in the helicopter may be true because it is required to placard in operable components and warnings, such as not being able to practice engine out maneuvers. Speaking of trains, I saw a movie once that was supposed to be circa 1960s and the freight train did not have a caboose. It had the EOT flashing device on the last car. This was not something that came about until the late 1980s. Movies involving airplanes are really the worst. Every time there is a situation you always see everybody. Just pull the stick back and that saves the day. It doesn’t work like that. Also, anytime in airline has an emergency they’re always reaching for switches above their head. Again, wrong area for what they’resupposed to be doing. Overhead on an airline is mainly fuel management and environmental systems like air-conditioning and heating.
They should probably get real pilots to help them with airplane movies, but they probably hope most people don't know anything about piloting.
@@tvcrazyman we could go on forever like this. It’s the same way with trucking movies and even the military type movies. Have you ever noticed on just about every military film out there when you see people walking around like on the tarmac in top gun the people are always at least in twos. Not like that in a real military base. Not everybody is walking around next to somebody but they seem to want to do it to make it look more impressive I guess. A really good depiction of this point is if you remember that movie iron eagle with Lou Gossett Junior. Next idea for a blooper demonstration, how about the series Roseanne?
I'm a big knight rider fan I was just a baby when it came on tv nice video job well done😊👍🥲
Awesome! Thank you!
@@tvcrazyman your welcome
The wobbly nose is a fiberglass bodied dune buggy.
In "Scent of Roses" I felt sorry for David. Catherine got custody of KITT in the divorce.
Blind drive seat...they did both left and right versions.
Das ist ja mal sehr interessant 👍 ich verstehe zwar fast kein Englisch,aber was da gezeigt wurde,so die Details , zeigt doch,dass in den1980ern noch nicht so genau hingeschaut wurde,dass es perfekt aussieht,es sind tatsächlich nur ganz kurze Augenblicke,aber trotzdem nicht so ausgefeilt wie heute.Die 80er hatten's doch irgendwie in sich 😅 Spitze,und vielen Dank ❤️🙏👍Eine Frage hätte ich aber noch:Wie kann es sein, dass,wenn auf K.I.T.T. geschossen wurde,es immer abgeprallt ist, obwohl es ja ein ganz normales Auto ist?Das habe ich noch nicht in Erfahrung bringen 🤔
I thought it was awesome 😎 and would love to see more. I thought I saw a actress from facts of Life ☺️ and I subscribed 🤗 to your cartoon site love it 🤣🥰🙏🏻😇 Thank You again!!
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!😀
And I always thought William Conrad did the opening narration of Knight Rider.
He does sound a lot alike.
Funny 😁
Lance legault was actually in two episodes of Airwolf also.
For sure TV was fun to watch. Funny all those extra people driving and in the back seat, but when you watched it on TV it was great. The turbo boost and hand in the hole makes me think sometimes you can use an extra hand. LOL. They sure did wreck a lot of those cars the magic of TV. I got a real smart car HA. . Enjoyed all the gust stars and the house. Well done @tvcrazyman.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
❤❤
This is great, how strange how Hoffman's ex actually married someone named Michael Knight. Be blessed saved all in Jesus shalom
Please another1
you forgot to mention the locations used from the Dukes Of Hazzard that were reused for Knight Rider
I never knew!
To clever
Just been watching season one episode one where Micheal is shot and standing outside of com Tron and if you watch the scene the wound in Michaels shoulder switches from right to the left and none and back to the left and back to the right and back to the left and when Tanya shoots at kitt and get killed why was Micheal holding a gun in his hand over his left shoulder when he throw the gun away outside com Tron
You goofed at 17:45 you said William Larson and it was Glen Larson who created Knight Rider and SMDM.
You don't know the half of it..... have you seen it all ?
Ever heard of an episode of B.J. & The Bear titled Cain's Cruiser?
Sounds vaguely familiar. I am still waiting for a B.J. and the Bear dvd set so I can rewatch them all again. I sure do wish they'd hurry up and put one out. Sheriff Lobo too.
@@tvcrazyman it was about a very high-tech computer assisted police car that was designed, built and maintained by a brilliant and beautiful scientist played by Erin Gray.
When the pilot for Knight Rider debuted, it immediately reminded me of that episode and then when they later introduced the character of Bonnie, It was pretty clear that one was the inspiration for the other.
I hope you get a chance to see the episode.
Me too. Thanks, that episode sounds vaguely familiar.@@williampetersen9915
👍👍
Who is the narrator on this show
Like 500!
This may be a copyright issue, but I want to know if anybody hears what I hear on Criminal Minds Season 8 episode 2, The Pact< at 39.26, right after Mackenzie Phillips says, "Maybe not a trial". I'm a new follower. Sorry if I'm not adhering to the rules of this channel. Someone let me know, okay? Thanks.
My brothers wached
The good thing back then: nobody cared!
Today everything has to be 100% accurate and some things come in sh!tty cgi.
Until the 1990s everything was fine if it was entertaining. And Knight Rider was.
I miss that time. Not only because of this, but it is one part.
I think today's shows have a lot of goofs too, only theirs are mostly in story and plot where the characters do things that make absolutely no sense. CGI works sometimes when you can't tell it's being used. I hate the fake animal cgi they use these days. It's always noticeable when they throw a cartoon cgi tiger onto a show.
When knight Rider movie coming out and cast Rick flag to play Michael knight
