![]() ![]() The movie takes place in the year 2000.so, would it be logical to keep a 1982 vehicle with series 2000 circuitry as the primary vehicle for the Knight Foundation? I certainly still don't use my old Compaq Presario from 2000 nowadays. in 1986, and according to the film, he and Michael's adventures continued through 1990. (And by the way, just where the hell did that steering wheel in the crates come from, anyway!?) Looking back now, however, I think it was a logical extrapolation of the original series. Did I like seeing Devon die? Well, not necessarily, but I thought it created a very poignant scene and was an emotional tragedy, which is important in order to make the audience care about the film and/or its characters.ĭid I like that the Knight 2000 was dismantled? I remember hating it when I first watched it as a 9-year-old. That's funny, because the reasons you mentioned why you didn't like the movie are the only aspects of the movie that I liked. ![]() The fact that Kitt's chip ended up in her head was rather dumb though. One woman can make a difference just as easily as a man can. Knight Rider was about the car of the future being in the present.Ī woman taking over didn't really bother me. March2875 wrote:What I didn't like was that Devon Miles was murdered, the original Kitt got dismantled, and that it was set in the future. Still, as i said in the beginning, the were elements I did like and scenes that I enjoyed very much (Michael and KITT's reunion, the scene with James "Scotty" Doohan and Michael resurrecting KITT). Third, I think the TV movie as a whole just underwhelmed me in almost every respect: the action sequences were not very exciting, the plot centered around revenge, almost all of the actors (including William Daniels) seemed liked they almost didn't want to be a part of the TV movie (for evidence, pay attention to KITT's tone of voice in most scenes or look at how it seems like both Michael and Devon's expressions seem to convey how tired they were both physically and mentally) and last but not least, how we never got to find out important fill-in-the-gap plot points like what happened to RCIII or Bonnie or the original FLAG headquarters and staff. Second, I agree that it was almost sacrilegious to present KITT in that red futuristic car body and to take away all that made the original car tremendous, such as turbo boosts, ski mode and the awesome dashboard that we all knew and loved (including the classic voice modulator). It had very few true lighthearted moments in it and I'm not even sure that we ever see Michael smile or laugh in any part of it. One is how dark the storyline seemed to be. I actually did like Knight Rider 2000 (and still do) but there are quite a few things that I dislike about it. ![]()
