ABOUT KNIGHT RIDER:
David Hasselhoff stars as Michael Knight in his breakout role as a crime fighter who awakens from a serious injury with a new identity. In the series premiere, Las Vegas police detective Michael Arthur Long is shot in the face and left for dead before being rescued by dying millionaire Wilton Knight, the chairman of Knight Industries and creator of the public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). Wilton makes Michael the primary agent for FLAG, giving him a new identity via plastic surgery and the name Michael Knight, plus an arsenal of equipment to continue his crime-fighting work. Principle among this equipment is the Knight Industries Two Thousand, or KITT, a heavily modified and artificially intelligent Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with the ability to talk, fire weapons and travel at high speed. Michael and KITT work together to take down criminals who operate above the law.

I'm was born in 1980 and remember this show very well. They don't make TV shows like this anymore sadly. Kids today don't know what they missed out on. I loved this car.

[fyteluv]

KITT was every kid's dream car back then.. decades later i still want one!

[JimBob-kysm]

K.I.T.T. The real star of the show. He had all the best lines, all the best action scenes and the chicks liked him even more than they did Michael.

I love Knight Rider. It's a classic 80s show. A talking crime-fighting car was groundbreaking for the time and our obsession with cars seems to have no end in sight.

Michael Knight's hair never got messed up after all that wind and action. Amazing.

"KARR, I didn't know you cared."
I feel like a lot of people forget just how incredibly sassy KITT was. Which is too bad, because that's one of my favorite things about KITT.

I just loved the Bonnie character, brainy and not a bimbo.

Can we appreciate that this chase doubles as "Mr. Feeny vs. Optimus Prime"

[ugrande]

1:37 - priceless... Michael's legs still dangling in the back of the car, when he was already driving KITT... how can this be? =P

[istrasci]

Love how the whole time they're driving down this back-country road, until 1:30-1:31 Michael's suddenly passing by a car dealership.

2:06 Universal backlot featured in BTTF where Marty evaded Biff on the skateboard?

[Memoly]

mistake at 1:35 - 1:37, Michael is no longer on the roof of Karr, but you can still see Michael's legs in the background. (a scene where he was still on it)

[zakurowolfalphasilverwolf]

Mr. Feeny vs Optimus Prime!!!! Greatest fight EVER!!!!

[BenJabituya]

KITT & KARR look like the same vehicle. I couldn’t tell ‘em apart.

[fire_drifteraudionovellas]

KARR: It is the inferior production line copy...
KITT: I heard that KARR, and you haven't seen anything yet!

These two sounds like argumentative brothers.

[excelents]

Bonnie got me through my teenage years !

1:06 - the stuntman is wearing different color boots

[halwakka]

Man, what an intense chase scene.  At one point they must've been doing 30kph.

[p]

All the computational power of Karr, yet to 'Get rid of this guy' he did not think of winding the windows up. Hmmm

1:52 1974 Firebird ?
If you add together all the horsepower in this video, you just might be able to get 300 horsepower if you were lucky.
