Twenty five years ago.....A man name Michael Knight and a black trans-am came into our living room fighting for truth and justice. That show was Knight Rider and it made David hasslehoff a star. Now, twenty five years later there is Knight Rider movie on TV even as I type this post. At the time when the original show came on seeing talking cars was unheard of.....now, their starting to become standard options for certain cars.
I was a huge fan of the original series......however, this new movie is not living up to the hype. Luckily, it's just a TV movie event, but there is talk about bringing back the TV series next fall. The new movie starts off on who built KITT and that this private security firm is trying to get the hard drive from it's creator. KITT's creator has a daughter who knows about the hard drive sytstem. She as well as Mike Truac (a former army ranger) are the only people he can trust. Mike Truac estranged father is surprise, surprise...Michael Knight (Hasslehoff).
Seeing Hasslehoff was cool......some of the features for KITT were cool liking him morphing into different colors, but I do have some gripes.
First off, bring back the Trans-Am .......to see a Ford shelby GT Mustang is totally not cool. Then KITT's voice....Val Kilmer ......Iceman from Top Gun? Are you kidding me....bring back William Daniels the original voice or if you want to bring a new voice put in Liam Nisson or Sean Connery to add some humor to the show......Could you imagine Sean Connery saying Hello, Mike in a Scottish accent.
Anyway, I hope they don't bring it back to the TV as series, but then again they brought back American Gladiators and it became a hit. I guess what is old is now new again.
