Knight Rider - Complete Series [DVD]

Product Information

Knight Rider, even with the difficult job of acting against a partner who is (soulfully) more there in spirit than "in the flesh," sorting out not a rival supercar named KARR. For the most part, it's relatively simple stuff that serves only to propel action scenes and build the relationship Glen Larson wanted the talking muscle car to have a heartbeat and asked Scheffe to design a beam of light like the Cylons had in Battlestar Galactica to be used on the front of the vehicle.

Fans could write to the network and they would receive a pamphlet detailing some features about KITT. The first campaign was held in August 1982. The pamphlet said, "The Competition is NO Competition!" KITT was pictured parked alongside a vehicle that resembled the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard. William Daniels voices KITT with an incredible balance of streamlined delivery, know-how, clarity, and even a bit of snark. The voice is the perfect Self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police Detective Lieutenant Michael Arthur Long after a near-fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (by plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. Wilton selects Michael to be the primary field agent in the pilot program of his public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). The other half of this pilot program is the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), a heavily modified, technologically advanced Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with numerous features, including a highly durable shell and frame, controlled by a computer with artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT are brought in during situations where "direct action might provide the only feasible solution".

Furthermore, I had the honor to choose 3 wish numbers from the limitation. I chose the 2000 (Knight Industries 2000), the 0309 (my birthday) and the 1707 (my wedding anniversary and at the same time - by the way coincidentally - David Hasselhoff's birthday). Somewhat later, I also received a VIP copy without a limitation number for my collection. These 4 copies remain original shrinkwrapped.

On the German DVDs, they even showed the opening credits of the pilot from season 4 with Peter Parros as RC III, who was not even in the third season. Of course, that was complete nonsense. Here you see the new dashboard and thus spoil the plot, too. A mistake that was not made with the Super Pursuit Mode in the pilot for season 4. Here, the pilot got a one-time opening credits, in which RC III can already be seen as a new character, but neither the Super Pursuit Mode nor the Convertible Mode appeared, which were introduced only at the end of the pilot... A perfect solution. The rest of the series music was composed by Stu Phillips for 13 episodes and Don Peake for 75 episodes. Glen A. Larson co-wrote music for one episode and Morton Stevens wrote the music for one episode. Peake took over scoring duties at S1E14 in 1983, when Larson moved to Twentieth Century-Fox and Phillips was working there on his projects.
