KITT VS KARR - The EPIC Showdown | Knight Rider 

lol

"I have an army." "We have a KARR."

Nice!!!

That's one way to put it was a good 👍 answer

@ 8:00 On your left!

It's a good thing Op wasn't given this form. :P

Oh look, it's KARR aka Nemisis KITT!

@@Jayteaseepiirturi in the early 2000's reboot, K.A.R.R was given a robotic form

Optimus Prime vs Mr. Feeney lol

I was suspecting that too. So cool.

Practice your fade out too. Yeah good idea

I just used that line on a very disagreeable psychobitch :)

😅🤣🤣

Say that to a cop when you roll down the window

If I get a girlfriend that’s my line to get out of arguments

Classic!!!

And coincidentally, Optimus Prime later plays chicken with another truck. He plays chicken against Motormaster, the leader of the Stuntacons.

Kullen also does the predator sound effect.

Peter Cullen is a legend

Before Optimus Prime - he was Venger in D&D

Karr turned into THE CAR!

@@fergnasty69 I see what you did there!

@@fredmontgomery9436 they used the footage from the movie!🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾‍♂️

@@fergnasty69 correct.

I thought I might have been tripping out when I saw that so I noticed it too

you failed Bonnie 😂

Exactly. She was really useful

You failed so we will replace you with someone else next season....

@@pl5624 but only for one season, then will let you come back after to do 2 more seasons after you've learned to calibrate things lol

Just poor aim....TWICE !!! WTF!???

That's what gave him the edge over K.A.R.R. Karr was only into self-preservation, so of course he'd turn away first. There's no reason for him to endanger his own existence.

@@Animeaddiction karr clearly explodes there right but then he still returned later and was more dangerous and meaner than ever

Airwolf 😁

@@paulzy5192 Airwolf ruled all

Simon and Simon, Rip Tide, Jake and the fat man, China Beach. The 80s had it all for TV shows.

When I was a little boy, I used to have my own play sessions where Knight Rider teamed up with the Dukes of Hazzard. Every single moment i had both cars doing jumps to take down the bad guys😂🤣😆

Oddly enough that wasnt a belair.. it was that Custom Lincoln that was used in the movie The car

@Potwheelz It was the 1971 Lincoln Continental. Footage from The Car (1977), courtesy of Universal Pictures.

Shows back then didn't have the enormous budgets of today to afford to actually wreck a Trans Am. TV shows were considered inferior and nothing more than a place for bad/B-list actors and hammy storylines. A Hollywood actor would have frowned upon ending their days on the small screen. Nowadays it's the other way around. TV shows are high quality, while movies are, well, less so.

I know i know, that always irritated me, but i guess was done to save filming costs at the time.

Lmao!!

They were busy watching (and acting in) a real life Knight Rider episode......but tryn' to be cool about it!

Not to mention, if they did try to challenge KARR, they'd be going against a sentient weapon.

to much sickness to accept this is the real paradise? without work and each day fun LEARN AND BE WISE each one can be god you never seen abc remember thats not the complete dream if you are in paradise you can change without smartphone or computer your rooms iff you believe in me you cant hear booms only one thing you have to do the knowledge on graves the cROSS on this its he WRITTEN BY GOD THINK TO MYSELF ITS YOU! many bibles cancled this words away but i HELLp to remeber at each day

It damaged itself

@@thomaspayne6866 yes, because it was inferior AI. Obsolete 1980s tech😂🤣😆

But KITT was made to protect the driver no matter to damage itself

That what Michael thought.

KARR and the impeached Trump have something in common : egoism.

Which is a bunch of crap, since that would've been mistake #2 for FLAG. The 1st being, not having KARR dismantled after they were able to shut him down.

@@dcdrew3 I thought that maybe they thought they could reprogram him.

@@terrywest111 That would be absolutely correct, considering what it cost to build those cars. The book explains it alot better, but still fails to make sense. In the book, Devon tells Michael that After KARR was built. Wilton Knight was hassled by the government about the Technology, then there were the corporate type spies creeping around. & then Wilton himself was dying, then they had Michael to deal with after they found him in the desert near to death. So they started from scratch again. Which doesn't make sense, since it was all about time. So Yes i agree that they should've had some Whiz-kids like Bonnie reprogramming KARR.

@@dcdrew3 Exactly. As soon as they shut him down, they should have had people there working on KARR. KITT did a lot of good during his time. Imagine what could have been done with two super cars!

@@dcdrew3 I don't think that was really possible at the time. Remember that KARR was in Laboratory 3 which was sealed off and completely dark. As soon as any power was engaged, it reactivated KARR, so it would have been impossible to work in that lab in the dark. I still don't understand how they did it. Was KARR supposed to be connected to some cables that shut him off? Because that goes against his & KITT's self sustained functioning. I know Michael deactivated KITT in an episode (maybe Killer KITT, I forget now) and he did it by pressing some buttons. But if that's what they did to KARR as well, then how could the flip of the power switch in the lab activate KARR? It was never explained and never really thought out. I think in KITT vs KARR it would've been nice if the episode was 2 hours like the Garthe/Goliath episodes & they should've shown a flashback scene with Ken Franklin, the predecessor to Michael that Devon told Michael about in Knight of the Drones who was killed by CJ Jackson who escaped in that episode. It would have been cool if they had Ken driving KARR in a flashback scene & tailing CJ and finding a connection between him and Tanya Walker's & Fred Wilson's crew, who around that time had been infiltrating Knight Industries. In that scene, KARR having been newly built and not fully aware of his capabilities, would desert Ken to preserve himself, leaving Ken to be unprotected when CJ pulls a gun on him & kills him. Wilton Knight, having realized the mistake in KARR's programming, blames himself for pairing Ken with a faulty piece of technology made by his company and shelves FLAG (including KARR) like Devon said he did in Knight of the Drones up until they find Michael 6 months later (Devon in Trust Doesn't Rust said how KARR was activated 6 months before they found Michael). The only slight contradiction made here is how Devon tells Michael in Knight of the Drones how Ken was killed several years before their conversation in that episode, so that several years would have to be about 2-2.5 years before that episode, which doesn't seem like several. Because any longer than that, and the 1982 model Trans Am that KARR & later KITT were based on would not have existed or been available to buy & modify (unless it came out in 1981 like most car models come out the year before the year of the model). Because we know from what Devon said in Knight of the Drones that there was no FLAG project progression between Ken's death and when they found Michael. I pointed this all out in another comment I made in the video of this same channel where KARR returns in KITT vs. KARR and mentioned how Devon mentions that FLAG was shelved until they found Michael but how it wasn't specified what that meant. Did Wilton look for prospective candidates before finding Michael Long shot in the desert by Tanya and find Michael Long to be an exemplary candidate based on his record? Furthermore, would Michael Long have even qualified prior to being shot, because he was an active lieutenant in the police force and Wilton had no clue or the luxury of fore/hindsight or expectations that Michael would leave his job & join FLAG? We do find out in Trust Doesn't Rust that Tanya Walker & crew were infiltrating Knight Industries at around that time & virtually ruined the company with secrets they stole, so my best guess is that stealing of secrets from Wilton by Tanya's group had already happened and Wilton was tailing Tanya and her friends during the events of Knight of the Phoenix and found Michael through following them from a distance. And that fateful night when he found Michael is when he immediately restarted FLAG because with Michael Long declared dead, Wilton would've had a pretty good feeling Michael would join FLAG with his former life now over. So with that sudden revival of the FLAG project, Wilton had no time to reprogram KARR, which would be dangerous if KARR were to suddenly activate and would perhaps be more time consuming to go through every line of KARR's code to see where the errors were than to replicate it and just add new code on top of it that would protect human life & would override the self preservation code by giving it a higher precedence/priority, which does exist in programming. Not to mention because of guilt from Ken's death, Wilton wouldn't want or trust KARR from that point onward and wouldn't want to put Michael with him. This would be similar to how someone who lives in a house where one of their family members died would want to sell the house and not want to live there anymore from the memories, etc. One additional thing I remember mentioning in that other comment I made in the KITT vs KARR video was how Ken's death & the guilt & grief it caused Wilton could also have been used to explain how Tanya & her group infiltrated Knight Industries, because Wilton seemed too smart & keen to allow something like that to happen, unless he took his eye off the ball & got complacent from being grief-stricken from guilt over Ken Franklin's death. I remember mentioning how all these threads of plot we got throughout the series could have been sewn together like a mosaic to create a nice grand story had they extended KITT vs KARR to 2 hours. I also mentioned in that comment how I always thought they should've explained how that part of the beach where KARR landed was once used by the military and how in my imagination, I always thought KARR landed on some live/unexploded ordinance or munitions (or a small vessel with some of that to explain the scattered debris we saw in the explosion) that blew a crater in the sand where KARR got stuck & the incoming waves and sand erosion buried KARR underneath. Or if not the military, then maybe it was something terrorists that Michael would have to go after in a future episode would've hidden there while planning their next moves. The explosion and/or impact with the ground would've also damaged his alpha circuits and disconnected the voice modulator cable. I remember mentioning how an added scene in that episode with John telling Mandy how the military used to use that area for operations and how there could be metals that are either precious or could be sold off as scrap metal to John's boss Eddie at the marine to bring them money, which the metal detectors would fall further in line with. I think that would've been a better reason for them to bring those than Spanish doubloons (did Spanish vessels ever make it out to the west coast/CA?).

Yeah, bamboozled and hoodwinked too! 🙄

Not to mention they were out of the way of the boxes and then walked behind them on their own lol

They looked empty

04:40. They must have taken a nap. No noise, yelling, etc while the thief sorted through the jewels.

This thread is hilarious! 😂

Trust Doesn’t Rust:Optimus Prime vs Mr. Feeny

Not to mention, Optimus Prime vs. John Adams or Optimus Prime vs. Dr. Mark Craig

OMG. That's funny.

Fun fact, for the Knight Rider remake, Peter Cullen went full Optimus Prime when he voiced KARR. KARR also literally transforms into a mech.

@@handsome4922 mann i loved that episode too they should have made kit do the samething

John wick

faisy100 baby driver or atomic blonde?

Ojb

O

Jghth

Mine too.

I thought I was the only one that noticed that shit!lmao!

The second part of the footage was of a pickup truck from some movie or other heading into the drink.

Well, it sure as hell wasn't an '82 Trans-Am. 😂

In the defense of Universal, when the show was first aired, that wasn't really noticed by most. I saw it immediately because I had seen the footage in the other movies. You would be surprised just how much "stock footage" gets around.

@Richard Kopel, I don't know the movie, but I noticed it wasn't KARR's car that crashed

Lol same

When Patricia McPherson left the show our hearts were broken a bit. The replacing April was just too dumb a blonde to be convincing. Patricia was what they said later about Gillian Anderson: IDDG, or Intellectually Drop Dead Gorgeous.

Yup same here too

April or Bonnie, April.... or.. Bonnie. Bonnie it is.

They actually used footage of “The Car”

@@leontransit1652 I was totally about to say that!!! I paused it right as he jumped off the cliff and immediately recognized the scene! LMAO! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fvJ8uq_qmu4.html

@@leontransit1652 Where did they take the 2nd part of that scene when it hit the ground from? That's what I don't know.

it was from the movie "The Car" and the automobile used in that film was a 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III with a body designed ALSO by George Barris, Same designer for KITT!

The Knight Industries cars has always had shape-shifting abilities. Didn't you see the rebooted Knight Rider show? 😉😁 Unfortunately for KARR, there was a glitch in his programming, since Bonnie never got the time to finish the work on KARR. KARR was actually trying to change into a plane, but faulty programming planted by Bonnie and the damage caused by that first laser shot had a disastrous effect on his shape-changing abilities. The explosion was caused by KARR landing on a mine, hurling KARR several feet away and causing KARR to go into power saving mode. This is why we see KARR looking slightly different in the KITT vs KARR episode.

Bumble Bee: And weren't you evil as a car? Prime: I said that's enough Bumble Bee! This discussion is over. Now let's go kick Megatron's butt! Bumble Bee: Ok Optimus! Optimus: Autobots roll out!

"I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message: We are here. We are waiting. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us."

1:46 ghost legs on back window 😂

Bcroft 68 you’re forgetting the car that drove off the cliff was white not black too.

Zombiehunter115 No, I didn’t forget. I was pointing out and laughing at just one of the many errors. 😂

So, amateuristic mistake nr 4 in this outtake.

Surprising they have 2 different voice actors for K.A.R.R. in Knight Rider.

All I hear is Optimus prime 😳

@@risco1974 Peter Cullen was the first one who played K.A.R.R. in Knight Rider before Paul Frees.

But what if someone had the same demanding force of Cullen's KARR but the maniacal style of Frees. Fricking shivers man.

True. Cullen is great but Frees had a more sinister tone that lent to the revenge angle of the second KARR episode.

@Three Eighty-Six Soccer moms.

i like pretty cars and fast girls.

Corny show, but one of the best TV show theme songs ever.

All theme songs in the 80s were great. Even the catchy jingles in ads too

@@JustWasted3HoursHere Just a typical 80's show I'd say :P

With my vocal chords and personality tied behind my back, I can out voice him.

I like K.I.T.T. better than K.A.R.R.

They could have definitely drawn out that plot.

Blame the programmers...

@@sweetdaddy77 They kinda did with the Knight Rider 2000 movie. KITT was shut down and disassembled. Michael got recruited once again to fight crime and KITT was in boxes. Michael installed KITT into a 57 Chevy and he was none too happy about that. Eventually he was installed into a Pontiac Banshee prototype and then he was happy once again. Not a bad movie, not as good as the TV show was but much better than the reeboot with the mustang.

@SMBComix It was both actually. It restarted a long cancelled TV show (reboot) as well as kept in the same world and timeline (Sequel). I thought they did a great job there, but when the car could change into all these wild things, that is where they lost me. It lost the character charm of the first show.

In Kitt vs Karr there was no dialogue between Kitt and Karr. Only Michael and Karr. I was highly disappointed

And Coran and Commander Hawkins in Voltron.

i always thought that was him.

A bit of old news there, Pal. A real interesting piece of trivia is that they brought Peter Cullen back to play KARR in the 2008 reboot of Knight Rider.

So he's famous for voicing two cars that's pretty cool actually

he also did iron hide in transformers and was the narrator in the opening credits of voltron and and was also the voice of eorrh (the blue donkey) from Winnie the pooh.

I saw

if you watch the episode involving the ranchers...they used the superman dam blocking footage

yes they also used the same engine noise from the car as well did you notice that lol

Even more mind blowing is that another episode they reused footage from Superman the movie in a rockslide sequence

Fun fact: Peter Cullen did Optimus Prime in the original Transformers.

@@amymartin4435 Yes and he also did the intro about the man who doesn't exist.

Nah, WONDER WOMAN, SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN were better

"Mileage out of KARR". I see what you did there

Didn't he come back (despite exploding!) anyway, or is this his second appearance?

​@@johnpotts8308he came back later

Prototype. You keep using that word, KARR. I don't think you know what it means....

Turbo boost

The ramps are really well hidden for those stunts

Oh, quite a few where, Including a dozen Trans Ams that where acquired in late Season 1 due to a train derailment.

Not to mention numerous scenery changes as KARR turbo boosts over KITT.

Yeah, and wasn't it kind of KARR to slow down(1:08) so that Michael could safely make the leap between cars! KARR had to decelerate from a whopping 20mph all the way down to 15mph! How convenient is it that KITT and KARR look exactly alike, so that the studio didn't have to spend any money to come up with a new vehicle!

And if we notice they reuse this same car falling clip throughout the whole season and above

@@Lcgmatheus Really? They recycled that scene over and over in different episodes? I could see maybe once, but beyond that it's pretty lame. 😒

Also in some of the driving scenes you can see the blue and green screen used for the scenes .

And also when he received a two tone paint job as well as his own 'KARR' licence plate.

@@AndrewChapmanHe always had the KARR plate.

Little did KITT know, there was RIDE.

LOL yup you're right

That was actually the ending from an old 1977 movie "The Car" which was a customized lincoln mark III spliced in.

Lol only noticed that..... Immediately. I mean WTAF they didn't even try! Also love that the brackets they use to tow the car for action scenes are clear as day. Oh well still a great show!

It was a clip from the movie The Car!

@@INFAMOUSLSG You win the daily double!👊👊👊👊👊👊

Mm oi Hoje ou no

Must've been quite a complicating sequence to shoot that they forgot to shoot a close up shot on KARR there without Michael being on his rooftop.

8p x

@@AndrewChapman It looks like an editing mistake. They didn’t need that shot, but it’s there. How’d that get missed?

@@billionairelivesmatter Well they were obviously filming Knight Rider on a tight budget and were probably rushing to get the editing completed in time before the episode was due to air. Probably didn't have time to completely observe the footage to see which was the best take for that close up shot at 1:46.

Stunt double was used.

It was mainly to let the audience know which car was KARR and which one was KITT. There was complaints from this episode that it was hard to tell which was which. He was two toned, the lower parts were silver the upper was black. The scan bar changed to a yellow/green color too. Also he was a bit more sadistic, possibly due to the damage from going over the cliff... If memory serves, someone found him buried and dug him up, repaired the damage and off we go again.

Yes in 3rd season Kitt vs Karr it says the salt water had caused his scanner to change to a yellow. And Karr says he wants to alter his image as a disguise. Thats where the silver came from

Explanation is simple; producers of the show had their brains burnt by cocaine. That's why scripts were so bad..

well in this episode Karr didn't fly off the cliff, that was a blue and white 19 57 chevy

@@jrag1000 No, it was the car from the movie THE CAR ... they stole the scenes directly from the movie and spliced them into this show. I think it was too expensive for them to ACTUALLY use one of the Knight Rider cars and perform the stunt.

Noticed that as well!

It looked as if they edited in the final scene from the movie The Car (1977)

HAHAHA! Only the Writers of the show know for sure. lol.

@@TheTallMan50 they did.

The end where he drives off was from the movie “The Car”

Kcaaww

I know it should have been Michael marrying Bonnie that would have been a great back story to the ,2008 Knight rider but they fucked that up

Did they get it off in the back seat, time to test the suspension...

I KNOW! The writing in this episode was epic top to bottom. Bonnie loved her some Michael.

I Just noticed the feet in the back :0 u get a like

Good eye I would have never noticed that!

It was borrowed footage from the Universal archives from a 1977 movie The Car about a demonically possessed Lincoln. Which looks NOTHING like an 80s Firebird . Lazy editing

A creepy movie

I noticed too. Is this show much deeper than it gets credit for?

They used the same sound effects from The Car too

​@@Cosmosity53 I noticed that too. The Car and Knight Rider are both properties of Universal Studios. I have picked up on sound effects from The Car in other movies.

It was a universal show borrowing footage from a universal movie.

Me too.my brother and I always talked about that he kitt it I do karr or vice versa

Exactly they look to much alike

The silver bottomed KARR was the best looking KARR

There are a few of those out there

@@dougc190 ल

Lol it was the 80's anything was possible

If everyone was blind in this world except for you then Yes you would be the only one

I was watching it on DVD, and I had to rewind it a couple of times to make sure. I did some research, and I found out that The Car and Knight Rider were both produced by Universal. If you listen closely, The Car's horn and engine sounds were used in a lot of episodes.

It was footage taken from the '77 horror film The Car about a satanic Lincoln which as you can see looks nothing at all like an 80s Firebird. Universal loved borrowing scenes from their older material to save money in the 80s

@@jamesnoble8205 Wow... Nice, man! I had no idea... I just found it funny, I love the show since when I was a kid...

@@CarecaRetrogamer Same. Love Kinght Rider. My family and I thought it was the most hilarious thing ever when it looked like a random car was pushed off the cliff.
