What Special Effects Were ACTUALLY Built Into the Knight Rider KITT Cars?

On screen, KITT was depicted as having a wide range of gadgets at his disposal. In reality, most of those "tricks" were done on an insert stage or with some external force generating the effect (like hidden ramps for Turbo Boosts). In this video, we are digging into the actual modifications done to the various KITT cars to allow these features to be achieved fully contained in the cars themselves!

I always loved KITT's "police mode" as a kid. Nothing but a wig-wag box in the car and stage effects for the lights but it looked convincing when you're 8 😂

@danmurphy9173 11 месяцев назад

Also, I laughed when you described the trunk lid/hatch being able to open when simply pressing the button (new struts/warm weather/etc…) because the clip you showed had the guy inside with the broom handle pushing it up! But maybe it was worn/cold out…

@josephferraro4925 11 месяцев назад

Great video as always! I’m aware that William Daniel’s recorded the Kitt parts from a sound booth . My question is , did they play his voice recordings through the insert dash via speaker to get the voice box to move with his voice so the eq bars would appear to be in sync with the recorded lines spoken . Or how did the make them in sync? The vocals and box looked too synced up to be just some guy moving the eq bars manually.

Could have added the spiked tires Hood opening and closing on its own Grappling hook and wench.

@Spokavriel 11 месяцев назад

@@josephferraro4925 the High Traction with actual spikes was a half tire prop that was never actually mounted on a car. The hood if you look carefully was often done with fishing line. I haven't looked close enough on the winch but one of the times it was shown for a car that didn't even have a KITT nose so was likely also not incorporated into the actual vehicle. That one time with the roping shot into a barrel the rope would have come from where the lock for the rear door is traditionally mounted and there isn't a hole for in the tail light blackout.

Whenever I see a modern vehicle that can open and close the rear hatch electrically, I'm just not impressed because Kitt did it first.

Another interesting and informative video Joe. Thanks for sharing.

I like the idea of SPM. But the implementation in the show was too over the top. Just a little more subtlety would've gone a long way here.

@MarkTEwing 11 месяцев назад

What I always found interesting about super pursuit mode was the reason it was invented and the season opener of 4… Kitts molecular bonded shell have been compromised and they could not re-create it because one person who had part of the formula ingredients was killed. So, SPM was created so that KITT could quickly maneuver around faster avoiding gunshots, and such. However, I think just an episode or two later KITT was shot at and you could see bullets bouncing off of his molecular bonded Shell. Maybe they got the corpse of the person who held the missing ingredient, got them into KITT, and activated his oxygen, and revived them. (Yes, that was a stupid idea about the oxygen…) Gotta love old plot holes, though!

When opening the trunk lid at 14:06, you can see a push rod disappear, so there was a person in the trunk pushing the lid open in this shot. I suspect that relying on the gas cylinders is not enough, and it was too expensive to shoot the scenes enough times to make it work.

If you look on it right, the bomb in the Trunk was wrong. We know Kitt has a Protection who was removed by a simple Water Spray Truck who was covering the Hull of Kitt and removed the Protection, so Kitt was destroyed shortly after. The Trunk and everything inside is not protected, so the Bomb would practicaly destroy Kit from the inside. Throwing the Bomb somewhere on the Ground would usualy be enough, the racing Car is fast enough to go away.

Auto-Cruise can wait until A.I. is developed well enough so a car can "understand" the road, not just identify pre-programmed road conditions and play "follow the lines".

Just a note to the "Thanks you TESLA" regarding self driving... TESLA's so called "Autopilot" ist actually not better than most driver assist systems other cars offer (accourding to some tests just the opposite). It more like TESLA's marketing (or should I say Elon's big mouth) is louder. So: No it's ceretainly not because of TESLA.
