I actually love this music for this scene. Plus I really enjoyed that spin kick that Michael landed. I remember in the original show he had martial arts training. When he landed that kick I was like,"oh yeah... He does know some martial arts moves".
I recall an old episode of Knight Rider where he fought off a group of Ninjas. To this day, I can't seem to find the episode anywhere. But I still remember him taking them down nearly effortlessly.
Matt Mccolm is the stunt man that doubled for David Hasselhoff in Season 4 of Knight Rider & in this scene where Michael does the flying round kick as well.
The use if the theme is excellent here and i have to say it. Michael got Justice for Devon. As a fan since I was young. I love this movie despite not considering it canon in the fandom lore
I don't see why people would hate this movie. This scene alone is pretty much what Knight Rider is all about. Michael Knight, did what he was meant to do, he made a difference. He got the drop on the bad guy and talked down an angry soul. A far contrast to the last time he was in a situation where one was held at gun point.
I think it had to do with K.I.T.T wasnt a trans am. But I looked it up and there are alot reasons why people never liked it. knightrideronline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1056&t=10370 knightrideronline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13049 www.imdb.com/title/tt0102227/reviews My reasons are: in the end he drove off in his chevy leaving kitt at the foundation. (It litterally took me forever too get over that scene. Considering they have a strong bond together since day 1. ) Though recently I read in the (Knight Rider Legacy: The Unofficial Guide to the Knight Rider Universe.) On page 21 that “Kitt treated Micheal more like a son than a partner and a friend.” Kitts not a trans am He got taken apart and parts were sold off Devon died Its revealed that Micheal left the foundation to pursue a fishing carrer. Which is an ultimatey failed bussiness. Didnt like the fact the person who had kitts chip in her brain was his future partner. But if I were to chane the entire story: it would be that there called out of retirement by devon to deal with illegal guns. Kitt the with his trans am body would be in it. Bonnie and RC3 returned. Turbo boost. And everything that made the show awesome! The movie would end that they drive off back to retirement. But 1st they go to a cheese burger restaurant just like they always talked about in the TV Show.
@@surfingiguanna9031 , I agree I didn't like the fact Kitt didn't keep his Trans Am look. .....Devon dieing was sad but no one lives forever and touching on the fact a main character died during a mission was bound to happen.... it can't be Disneyland life where everyone survies. people dieing is part of life. They should have brought Bonnie and RC3 back my guess is they asked the actors but they were not interested in returning and you can't force them.............as for Michael retireing that is also part of life everyone has a right to retire and relax for the rest of their lives.. no matter what job you have.
I never realised that this evil dude was played by Mitch Pileggi, who was also the actor for Walter Skinner, the assistant director of the F.B.I. in "The X-Files" from 1993 - 2002 & 2016.
I know this is a reach from the tv series but if anyone remembers and the very first episode knight of the phoenix, Michael did say he was heavily trained in martial arts which we never really saw any kind of moves ever used in the entire series. Michael was only able to survive being shot in the face because of a metal plate in his head from a war wound so the headbutt during the fight scsne should have hurt them both more. We also never saw Michael get the comm link back from kitt's box of leftover junk or wire a new ser to him, so not sure how the new watch is connected to kitt.
When this first premiered, I was around 4, so I never understood it. I was wondering why I never saw Devon again throughout the rest of the movie. I watched it again some years later and I finally understood it. That is one of the things I hate about this movie.
Michael was really trying to give Watts the business here for killing Devon. He was fighting him almost as hard as when he tried to beat Durant to death in cold blood for killing Stevie. This movie had potential, but it left too many questions unanswered. What happened to Bonnie, RC3, or heck even April? Or where were they? What became of the K.I.F.T cpu after Michael installed KITT into the car? Would we have gotten a new KITT vs KARR scenario had this continued? Was there another FLAG semi around, or going to be used after the 4000 was a success? We'll never know. I also think they made Michael rusty when fighting, because he would have been able to take Watts down easily. Remember, he knew martial arts, and was trained in the Special Forces. He should have gotten some good punches in on him. Maybe draw some blood out of him and be in a rage because of him killing Devon.
@suavemang I probably missed that detail. Had this become a series, I wonder if KIFT would have become like KARR after he was removed from the 4000. Placed into a new car and held a grudge against Michael, KITT, and the foundation. I want to bet the 4000 had other capabilities like KITTs old body had, but we'll never know since this never went into a series. I think I read that Hasselhoff would have only been a semi recurring character if this continued on as a show, but only because he was still doing Baywatch at the time.
Thanks for posting this. I never saw the movie and can't access it anywhere online now. Do you have the clip of when Michael meets KITT again or when he installs KITT into the red Chevy?
I think David Hasselhoff doing Baywatch is why they didn’t make more movies. I read there was not a good reaction to the new female character So they couldn’t do a series about her. They should’ve tried to work something out where they could’ve made at least one more movie with hasslehoff
I saw this when I was 4 back in '91, and even back then I didn't like her all that much. I still don't. Not because she's a woman, but lots of the stuff that made the original such a classic weren't in this movie. Michael leaves again, no Trans-Am, Devon died, no Bonnie, RC3, heck even April, and Maddock pretty much taking Devons place.
Michael's gun may not have had bullets in it...but ironic he tells the woman not to kill the guy then he shoots knocks him over the rail and he dies. and Micheal didn't get put away as he told the woman she would if she killed him.
Um it was self defense. The woman walked over with her gun up to cuff him and he pulled his gun out to shoot her and then Michael shot him to protect her, were you sleeping?
He was grabbing another gun and was gonna shoot her again, but Michael grabbed that buzzer and shot him in self defense. Plus, if I remember correctly, Watts had other kills under his belt before he got frozen, then he killed the mayor, Devon, and Shawn's old partner. Not sure that guy died since they put him Watts old freezer. Probably not justified, but he had it coming.
Knight Rider 2000. It was originally produced as a pilot but it was never picked up as a series. However, it was good enough to be released as a stand alone TV movie.
Unfortunately not. I had it on VHS back in the day and when the Knight Rider DVD collection came out it was bundled with it. You may be able to find the DVD box set on ebay or Amazon. I've actually been thinking about ripping it and making it available since no one else has it up.
@@Handlethis81637 - Precisely. One of the film's subplots was that the country's governments were using cryostasis to imprison criminals because it was cheaper and caused them less of a political backlash. Of course, the real-world problem with such a "solution" is that the crooks never learn anything or repent for their crimes. They would simply go to sleep, and wake up again years or decades later, never having changed for the better.
It's included on the last disc of season 1, of the Universal DVD release. The lousy Millcreek dvds don't include it, or any special features, or subtitles. Hell it includes the crappy Knight of the Drones syndicated release, where it has the KTLA commercial inserts, scenes cut out like Michael and Devon checking out KITTs new dash and abilities, and broken up into 2 episodes instead of being the 2 hour movie. The only thing the Millcreek release does right over Universal is that it includes the missing intros for Knight Song and The Scent of Roses, plus the old Universal logo after every episode. Especially on season 4.
