KARR Is Unleashed | Knight Rider 

KARR is in 2 episodes of Knight Rider and on the second season they have Goliath.

Karr should have been in the whole series

I know I am quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online ?

I always imagine if KITT had a face, he would have a wide grin when he says that.

No, he could have just turbo boosted off the blocks, and rode around on brake disc and drums.

@@Charlesbjtown I thought they can’t turbo boost unless they were on a solid surface

@@cj.59 KITT does whatever he wants, whenever he feels like it. You didn't know?

or not left him with a tank of gas

Very true!

Proof that Wilton Knight really was the brains of the entire operation. Sadly, his mind degraded from his wasting disease and he forgot just how dangerous K.A.R.R. was.

One's final destruction may only be but temporary, according to TV logic. The first season of _Star Trek TNG_ killed off the Security Chief Tasha Yar, only to later bring her back in an alternative time lime, and has her evil twin sister. We see what happens when nobody cleans up the mess, in video game logic. In _Portal 2_ the super-villain GlaDOS reassembles herself. Apparently "going to pieces" isn't necessarily the end?

@@blazerocker1734 So very sad that Wilton Knight was the only member of his family who was sane and not evil.

Yosef MacGruber Jennifer knight was not evil also micheal had a son and daughter also not evil

Lousy security indeed! All you need is a simple pry bar to defeat the locks.

Immortalfire , fun fact, these 2 bad guys were the same bad guys in a 1979 movie called - The little dragons ( karate kids. ) The movie is on RU-vid. Wouldn’t be surprised if the movie inspired the famous movie- The karate kid.

Murder She Wrote as well?

@@sketchyold No. I’m a fan of Paul McCartney though

No one cares.

for those who was born in 1960 - 1978, this show is so meaningful for them..

It was...magnets! 😆

It's called technology Timothy Jahn and Chris.

Knight rider season 1 episode 9 trust doesn't rust karr scanner was in yellow in the vimeo video. Hope the Knight rider trust doesn't rust karr scanner in yellow in the new dvd or the bluray.

K a r r was accidentally started up by these 2

Nah im gonna call you kars

@Goat The inferior production model, according to KARR

Those were the cars of the future I looked forward to. Look at what we got instead! Boo!

Reply to KARR: Narcissistic much? The "car of the future" would have at least 4 doors. Shut up you ugly impractical over-priced sports-car.

@@yosefmacgruber1920 Sounds like we're in a dystopian

Two of the most Unprofessional Thieves 🤣

Yeah definitely was more interested in John as a character in KITT vs KARR

it's like marv and harry from home alone

​@@stanleybochenek1862that's what makes them great characters . After all karr isn't all serious either . So they are the three amigos causing hijinks where ever they go

Always thought it was cool too

Reminds me of a Ceylon from Battlestar Galactica

@@c5d53g2e That was what Kitt's scanner was based on, Glen Larson said so. but yeah Karr's early scanner sound is close to the Cylons

Really? I think it sounds like a locomotive engine.

And that is a lot of the reason why I hardly watch TV anymore. TV shows are so stupid these days. Seems like they just want to mess with people's minds and to make them educated-stupid.

Right On!

Sad but true

I agree! I don't watch tv anymore like I used to everything sucks now no good shows nor cartoons

A channel full of this 80' tv shows should exist

Or if Garth started driving KARR and made Goliath into his repair semi so he would be like the evil version of FLAG.

@OptimalOptimus50 True

@OptimalOptimus50still a missed opportunity to put K.A.R.R. and Garthe together as a team against Michael and K.I.T.T. The possibilities are numerous

Kitt could sense karr...

Do you take Garth for a complete fool? KARR would have turned against Garth. KARR was that unstable and unreliable. And Garth's flawed personality was abrasive enough to eventually find some way to provoke KARR.

The KARR and Goliath episodes were awesome!

Yeah it would have been cool if Garth Karr teamed up

I wish they would've kept that in the KITT vs KARR episode in S-3!

I think it sounds better in KITT vs KARR.

KARR's scanner in reality, likely wouldn't make any sound at all. It merely sounds menacing due to TV exaggeration or TV logic, most people did not watch TV with their eyes glued to the TV screen, people often missed various episodes, and so the stories are written to be easy to follow, in case somebody just switched the channels or returned from the bathroom.

@@yosefmacgruber1920 what in the heck are you even talking about? Of course in reality the scanner doesn't make noise, its just some scrolling lights. But in TV world it has a specific sound which is the "reality" in the show. They didn't make it menacing so the show was easy to follow, they made it menacing because KARR was evil.

@@jv8296 So where are the KITT scanners? I almost never see anything cool like that. Just ugly stupid over-priced copycat non-innovative sports-cars with no rear doors, flashy rims, or pointless lights underneath the car or even noisy motorcycle. Did nobody watch _Knight Rider_ or did they forget what a cool TV show that it was? They made it menacing so as to show how evil people seem to be always thinking evil thoughts. I hear the clips on talk radio of evil educated idiot DemocRAT politicians constantly lying and saying incredibly stupid things. Why aren't they more often called out on the stupid things that they say, and why aren't they prosecuted and removed from office and publicly disgraced? Sad to say, so many people think that the TV and social media world are reality. A friend pointed out to me the other day, quick search of social media news headlines, no mention at all of the DemocRAT stolen election, so to most people, such news is not real. What a stupid evil world we must somehow endure day after corrupt day. We have new studies coming out of Denmark and Wuhan, proving that face masks do not work at all, and yet evil leftist politicians have gone insane with their evil mask-shaming cult religion, which the first amendment says that Congress shall not establish a religion, which these days most people interpret to mean "government" in general. By now, the science says that many people wearing the ugly ineffective face masks likely have natural immunity, and they appear healthy anyway, and so there is no medical reason for them to wear masks especially if they do not want to. "Follow the science" the left screams, yet they do not follow it at all. When will they pay for their sadism and their crimes and their imposition of false religion?

Agreed, the evil scanner noise sounds great, combined with the yellow scanner lights would have great.

They changed it because Kitt had the same scanner sound when he meets Michael the first time!

@@leighsaunderson9203 They changed it because Kitt had the same scanner sound when he meets Michael the first time!

" I love the sound of KARR's scanner. " Nah, sounds terrible, like something played backward. It's perfect for KARR, KITT's scanner sounds amazing.

Yeah I agree, I like this scanner better than KITT vs KARR

Rev: How about a couple a couple of eggs sunnyside up. KARR: I have no eggs. Perhaps you can direct me to a chicken.

Or he could have taken the tires off completely 😀

Like a cyborg version of your older self coming back and killing you as a kid? Yeah...I'd definitely say you have some issues. But therapy 45 years late is better than never :)

@@jaybeebee9288 tried it, didnt work, i still want my own Terminator 😂

You know I remember kitt hawing a girl evil twin two!(who's name is escapes from me at the moment but She vase all about yellow even the thing kitt hawe on he's hood the red thing!

@ ..you drunk?

Actually in the book, they did mention that some circuits from KARR were indeed placed into KITT, cause of cost or Production problems? I believe it was some of his reasoning circuits, which is why he seems pretty naive in the show.

Devin Drew I never knew there was a book. Is it just titled Knight Rider?

@@phoenixblack1220 There were 3 books i believe. The 1st was Knight Rider (Never got my hands on that) The Next was Trust Doesn't Rust. & The 3rd was Hearts of Stone.

Devin Drew that is crazy! I am going to try and find them. Thank you so much!

@@phoenixblack1220 Of Course.

It's true, in the second episode it made me angry to see how KARR tried to suffocate that blonde girl. 😡

That was actually footage from the 1977 horror film The Car and it was a 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III. The movie was about an unmanned satanic car that drove itself and killed people. Pretty appropriate in some way that they used that footage.

@@wtcvidman yeah, I remember reading that years ago….but you know, still makes me laugh cause dang was it blatantly obvious. Little did they know DVD and Blu-ray would ruin the imagination😄 oh well

Yep. Same 5 cars used for KITT were used for KARR. Hero/RHD car, High Traction Backup Hero car, Jump, GP Stunt, and Fliver.

The book Trust Doesn’t Rust goes into a lot more detail about why KARR wasn’t reprogrammed or dismantled.

@@darthflyer oh

Peter Cullen also reprises this role in the late 2000s Knight Rider reboot. I never watched any of those, though. KITT was a Mustang, booooo!

Starscream is Chris Latta

Paul Frees didn't do Starscream's voice but he did do a lot of voice acting for Disney films & other cartoons throughout his life. He has a very recognizable voice. There were so many things I watched where I had a feeling it was him only to confirm later on imdb after looking it up.

in my book i liked peter cullen's voice 4 karr it was way more menacing the way karr was supposed to be.also sounds like a totally pissed off optimus prime who has had enough of megatron and his dimwits

@@shinigami146 They should have kept the Original KITT, that 3rd Gen Boird *Still* Looks Futuristic!

even has the sound from the car 1977 to

I was 9 years old when this episode first aired, and I remembered this scene vividly. Seeing only KARR’s scanner in the dark and hearing its sinister sound sent chills right down my spine.

And one security guard on duty by himself

@@pp3k3jamail Haha! Love it!

Welcome to the 80s, where we keep our most advanced technology behind the shittest security

That is simplistic TV logic for you. Oh wait, scary to think, that could be reality also.

They could have simply had a few robo-security guards based upon KITT's algorithms. Problem solved. That reminds me of a really cool YT video by, maybe it was College Humor or something? "If Movies Had Cellphones". They show a few scenes from major old movies, and the character simply pulls out a cellphone, makes a call, problem solved, "The (premature) End".

@niceguy60 For the benefit of the rest of us who AREN'T hallucinating, where did you see the word "classified" in this episode?

@@houseofno The KARR had state of the art tech but most of all had a fully operational coat of that molecular bonded shell spray. I call all that proprietary and classified

did you ever hear of how they had so many trans ams for the show?

Wilton Knight the man who did everything twice, his son went wrong and so did his prototype vehicle. Had to do both a second time to get it right 😂

What's even funnier that apparently the drunk guy believes in horoscopes.

Its the 80s live the dream

Dude, Michael was caught with heroin, and then stole the FLAG owned KITT, the most advanced, secure vehicle of it's time, by saying kind words. Everything was stolen in the 80s.

Yes. Yes they can. Powerful people

I guess it's possible in 1985 😕

It is still fantastic. Come on, use your imagination. It had cool stories. Now we have special effects galore, but not much story.

S Dew that’s why it doesn’t date well. It is very much of its time...

@@jnnx It doesn't date well? Why is that? Should I care that it would be harder to get good ratings in this stupid era? I still like _Knight Rider_ even though I have to laugh at the "car of the future" having a cassette player in its dash. Sad to say, I think they lost the magic formula, and that TV has gone stupid, thus there may never be another successful _Knight Rider._ Sad that they only managed to produce 4 seasons, while stupid TV shows such as _Friends_ produced 10 seasons.

David hasselhoff had a NY autdition and was told about the show knight rider he told his dad about the TV series and his dad said...i think you should go to NY ...of course the Hoff didn't listen..the rest is history

Stephen King's 1958 Plymouth Fury Christine was Karrs aunt,grandma or his ancestor

Japan did get that nice PC Engine Knight Rider game that was never localized on the TurboGrafx-16 here. Thankfully the TG16/PCE Everdrive plays everything.

You'll find more clothing errors in the episode 'The Nineteenth Hole'. I'm guessing either the shoot occurred over multiple days or David got sweaty during shooting and just changed clothes and they hoped no one would notice.

lol

He is imaginary father of Starlord

The Scanner was so loud, that you didn't hear them "RIP" as he jumped outta the way! LOL!!

lol

Michael was wearing "Jeans of the future".

He’d probably get copyright stricken for doing that

@@cj.59 Isn't this the KR Official channel meaning they should own the copyright? They'd probably rather people purchase them on the DVDs anyway.

Go to the Knight Rider Historians channel on RU-vid. It has everything you need to know about the episodes.

KARR was explained enough. Because of bad programming KARR had a sense of self-preservation with no regard for human life. And he could not be re-programmed. So it was decided KARR was too dangerous to be used as KITT ultimately was, a tool for justice.

KAO S so KARR was the original SKYNET?

@@210SAi If you mean being self aware both KARR & KITT are. But KARR is more like Skynet in that he is self preserving and attacks humans when he feels threatened much like Skynet did when it launched the nukes.

KARR was to be dismantled, but with saving Michael Long and creating KITT all at once it was out of sight, out of mind. Plus Devon believed Wilton Knight had that done and it was over with.

Same

Peter Cullen

Same vehicle dumbass...

🤣🤣🤣🤣I PMSL when he said this

To quote Captain America, "I get that reference!"

I always wondered why Garth Knight never got a hold of KARR and went after Michael Knight KITT

Mark Cadieux he did in the knight rider video games

Mark Cadieux KARR’s programming would have left Garthe high & dry at the first sign of trouble. But still it may have been good enough for an episode.

have Garthe team up with the Juggernaut

Garthe and the Juggernaut vs Michael and KITT

Sometimes when everything seem cool. It wasn't on. Least I'm assuming that's why.

It's a scanner the lights are only on when he's scanning for data.

I also noticed this.

@@jamesf9610 , are you sure? This was the only time that I remember them not being on and always thought it was a mistake.

@@shinigami146 I guess it was often off. At least if I remember correctly

Yeah the NES and Sega consoles man

Lol... Yes, I remember Rev from Newhart. He was always introducing themselves like that. Sounded silly.

William Sanderson played Larry on "Newhart". He also had roles on TV shows "Deadwood" (2004-2006, 2019) and "True Blood" (2008-2010, 2012). William Sanderson is also best known for playing J.F. Sebastian in the awesome 1982 sci-fi film "Blade Runner".

I recognize his voice from Batman the animated series....

I love that show, the ending of the last episode was hilarious!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Michael That KARR Not Car

​@ElineHerlina I know that his name is KARR but that's not what KITT said.

That guy made a million dollars saying that.

My Dad remembers that guy.

YEP

“Come on KITT, let’s check it out, huh?”

“Michael, I have a strange feeling about this”

“What are you talking about, you don’t have feelings” “I know, that’s what’s strange about it”

For the longest time I got a bit of a Hasselhoff vibe from Dean and then that episode Changing Channels happened lol. I think Jensen Ackles as a Knight Rider driver would have worked well as long as the rest of the show was well done. Given how Supernatural had the '67 Impala, I could easily have seen a KR show with Ackles going back to the '82-'91 model Trans Am as its choice of car for KITT. And the fans would love it.
