the new knight rider ??

<< < (6/11) > >>

NiN^_^NiN:
The original Knight rider was made when there was a buzz about computers and AI it worked well then

I got season 1 and 2 on dvd recently and have watched them all and the show holds up very well there are stupid things like kit can turn things from the car (he unlocked a safe by spinning the combo lock no electronic safe)

Also i've watched afew episodes of viper recently as i traded with someone for some episodes and Viper was a underated show Season 2 and up when they went away from the gimmick of season 1 was when it started to be great and it still holds up very well

The reason the new knight rider doesn't work is simply they aren't doing it right.

Ok lets say they made it properly to todays standards of computers and everyones knowledge cause lets face it a lot of people are tech savy enough that they have to be smater and more realistic.

Ok for the tough body they could say it's a teflon compound which is very tough and resistant and can block heat.

The windows could be a super tough glass that’s heat resistant and has electing tinting to tint like kitt use to do.

They could of had a few touchscreens in the dash for video and audio monitoring they could jam radio signals they could possible have a xray lens or they can atleast have night vision and a gps tracing bug they can shoot onto cars.

There are alot of gadgets he could have while keeping the car very cool.

They need to go back to how Knight Rider use to work where kitt would do research and help locate people/property and micheal drives and goes after the baddies they can use some the the gadgets to help and kitt could pin people against a wall aswell but they need to get back to the detective part of the original and get rid of the horrible Ford advertise look


RTSDaddy2:
The one thing I will disagree with you on is Hoff's scene at the end.  Ok, yeah it was predictable, but if - and I repeat IF - this becomes a new series, I thought it was a pretty decent "passing of the torch" scene.

New voice of Kitt: I didn't realize it was Kilmer, but it worked "ok."  He does NOT, however, have the wit of the guy who did the previous voice (for the life of me, I can see the actor, but can't place his name).

Don't forget though, part of the joy was the interaction between car and driver - or it was for me.  That part I thought they may have gotten right.

Looking back on it though, I'll give you the Ford commercial point...and damn, just as he gets ready to go off on a REAL mission, the movie ends.

Heh . . . they should just take all the tech actually in the LAPD cop cars.  As those cops drive down the road the car is scanning every car, parked and driving, and comparing them against the database of stolen vehicles.  All with no interaction from the passengers.  The system just pipes up when it sees a hot car.  Lots of other cool stuff too that I can't remember (read an article about it recently).  No turbo boost, though, ASAIK  :)

Dartful Dodger:
Mike is suppose to be a seasoned ranger, but he looks and has a personality of a guy in high school.

I was yelling at the TV about idiotic things throughout the whole show. 

I guy with an indestructible car in your garage is concerned about the gas guys so he leaves the house out the back door and flees into the woods.  The FBI agent trusts the local police enough to put her phone on speaker phone for when they are giving their address and she gave up her gun to easily.

I was looking forward to this show.  I knew it would be bad but this was so horrible it made me sick.

The whole show stunk I figured at least Hasselhoff's cameo would make the pilot worthwhile, but his suit jacket was so tight he could only button one button on it so instead of being happy to see him I felt uncomfortable for him.

The mom was the only good character, and she died.

I won't watch another episode.  They had the Montecito in the pilot, so if they have a Knight Rider tie in with Vegas were Selleck is going after KITT in a red Ferrari, I might watch it.

NiN^_^NiN:
Ok i just watched the Episode finally and i must say i didn't mind it.

It wasn't that much related to the original Knight Rider more of them using it as a stepping stone instead of trying to continue the story on properly

As for the Voice of KITT it did start to get to me Val Kilmer really wasn't the best choice i did hear they had someone else doing it but they got rid of him and got Val to do it.

Still they have done a great job with the car so far as i have seen it.

Some of the 3D effect where done abit bad not very detailed in some area's like background when in the car etc.

Over all it could of been done way better but its really isn't too bad now that i've seen it and have season 1 and 2 fresh in my mine from the original Knight Rider (watched them all in the last 2 weeks)
