It's not because the movie is a masterpiece, but it really does push the envelope on the KR legend and tries to do something interesting with it. This one didn't measure up, and never got further than a pilot episode.īelieve it or not, I've watched this KR at least ten more times than KR 2000.
#KNIGHT RIDER 2010 SERIES SERIES#
This was part of the "Action Pack" series of pilot films, including "TekWar", "Team Knight Rider", and the original episodes of "Hercules". But there are better post-apocalypse vehicle films out there - see "Damnation Alley" or any of the "Mad Max" films if you're into this sort of thing.
well, if computers are pretty scarce, I suppose we could go the fantasy-mystical route. There's some mention of an "interface" that looks like a crystalline artichoke (maybe they rescued it from "Cat from Outer Space") that somehow allows the spirit of a young girl to reside in the car. Turns out, it's an old, junked-out Ford Mustang instead of the sleek Pontiac Firebird you would expect. It's still got the "young loner on a crusade" but it's not Hasselhoff, and our hero doesn't even OWN a car until the middle of the movie. If you think this is going to be an even higher-tech version of the original "Knight Rider" series, um, don't hold your breath. If Dukes of Hazzard can have a decent theatre movie, can't Knight Rider? Base it around the pilot ep where Michael Long is shot, please. Larson if you have any sense, don't let 'Knight Rider: The Movie' be like this.
The TV movie before 2010 KR2000 was crud but it at least had some relevance to the 80's series, Team Knight Rider was also terrible but still had ties to KITT and The Foundation. The scientist villain guy is thwarted, a joke is made about doing some matrix-ish cybersex interface thing and our heroes drive off into the sunset. I'll try and sum up the movie for you: In the future earth is barren and polluted, there's this guy with a big truck who smuggles people into the clean air domes (makes ya think of Total Recall, eh?) he meets up with this scientist guy who wants to steal his organs using this soul-stealing crystal thing, the immigrant smuggler guy's girlfriend gets her soul trapped in the crystal instead, immigrant smuggler guy then puts the crystal into a car he built from scraps of a Mustang. Instead this movie is more like a low budget Mad Max sequel with cyber-punk undertones. Aside from the name in the title and a guy driving a car, this movie really has NOTHING at all to do with the 80's TV series 'Knight Rider'that most of us grew up watching. There is a very good reason why, I'll explain. This 'movie' is rarely discussed or aired on TV.
