David Hasslehoff did a good job as a villain. I wish he had done more anti hero type roles.

I love how Goliath sounds like a Godzilla when it runs over cop cars and flies off a cliff and drowns. 🤣

Was it supposed to be the truck? Or Garthe?

[@resetsetmefree478]

@@FirstDan2000 I would say the former because the same sound is made by the big juggernaut vehicle at the end of season 4 episode 1. So apparently both Goliath and the juggernaut vehicle had a button where the effect could be played thru some external quad speakers

That's how it should have been. Let someone else build Goliath.

[@ian.piepenbrock]

Revisiting all these scenes again, I've come to realize that Hasselhoff's portrayal of Garthe is a timeless work of art. A Shakespeare-esque, larger than life character who embodies the spirit of Cain in an unprecedented way.

This is the Hoff turning in the Killer charm. I love his scenes with himself as Michael Knight. He plays the role with such relish.

[@INFAMOUSLSG]

Garthe: "Michael Knight is a living, breathing insult to my existence." That right there is a special kind of hatred. Oh the scene where garth tells rita about finding her brother dead in the desert, that cold look he gives as he turns to walk away? chills!. Chilled me as a kid. Garth crying about wilton giving michael getting everything, Like "Dude you and your moms committing atrocities and you expect keys to the knight kingdom?" lol Ann turkel was one of my favorite villains in the series, she was very charming, decisive and her eyes give a seductive yet "ima kill you when i'm done with you" vibe lol but yet i was crushing on her hard whenever she appeared. I wonder what she's doing today i'd love to hear about her experience on the show.

[@resetsetmefree478]

Ann Turkel wow 😳😳😳. I just saw Knight in Retreat from Season 3 and you are absolutely spot on! If I may ask you this, did you like her performance better in Goliath Returns or in Knight in Retreat?

@@INFAMOUSLSG when I first saw the series back in the day as a 10 year old when it first aired, I only vaguely remembered Knight in Retreat and there may be a reason, that was a few years before the hormones kicked in . And that's what is so rewarding about watching these today 😍

Why does Hasselhoff do a better job playing Garth than he does Michael? wth?

[@ElvishRanger93]

My own theory is Michael is him in real life. Takes acting chops to play a villain.

[@kyrauniversal]

It's David's internal Jekyll and Hyde.

[@Ah-ed6ie]

Hasselhoff can put together a great pantomime 'that's why!

[@susanmarks305]

Idk but it was too much for him, he requested not to do Garthe again. I like to think it had something to do with his time on young and the restless in the 70s. Maybe his character Dr Snapper was a villain on that soap

[@mush3179]

Before acting in Baywatch series, David Hasselhoff must have enjoyed playing this character with all the steamy kisses. Hehehe. Strange Garthe and KARR both had the same motto.

[@DarthDregan]

What if… After all these years… Garth Knight survived and found the remains of KARR.

[@resetsetmefree478]

from what I've read they actually thought about doing that for season 3 KITT vs KARR episode but the Hoff declined because he actually wanted to be paid for all the overtime needed to do 2 roles... anyway it was cheaper to hire the 2 teenage actors for that episode so it is what it is

[@FirstDan2000]

Davilex.

[@PhenomProductions23]

While I agree that would have been an awesome episode joining up Karr and Garthe, bs Michael and Kitt... I can also understand David's point of view that he wanted to get paid for basically playing 2 different characters opposite each other, and the producers refusing to pay extra. It's very time consuming to do that and overtime means it would cut into his personal time when he was already supposed to be off from shooting a regular day and leaving the set to have some time to himself. Which leaves the Question, I wonder if the previous 2 times he played Garthe, if he got paid extra for 2 roles or if he was only paid for one.

[@resetsetmefree478]

@@PhenomProductions23 well that's what they say about money, in spite of all the talk about personal time and the idea of it being "too much work" I'm sure it would have happened if they agreed to pay the Hoff whatever his asking price would've been

[@sanchoodell6789]

These clips just go to show how versatile an actor David Hasselhoff was. He made Michael Knight his own but when he played Garth it was like looking at a different person. It was so hard to believe that Michael Knight and Garth were played by the same person!

[@marlonmorgan4286]

Great performance!

[@tibbydudeza]

My name is Garth in real life :). In middle English it meant "an enclosed quadrangle or yard" - it was later used as a last name for people who worked in gardens or lived close to it and then as a first name.

9:26 they should make a rerun if they ever make another knight rider of Garth surviving that because I’m not seeing I have a funny feeling that Garth might have survived that fall because the semi didn’t explode

[@PhenomProductions23]

I like it, Garthe somehow survived the impact on the water driving off the cliff in Goliath, and floated away unconsciously and washed up on a beach, where he was injured and made his way to mexico to recuperate & plan his revenge. But it took him a long time to do so having to start from nothing again.

[@FirstDan2000]

I like the music. It resembles the music for Karr in Trust doesn't Rust. Like a bad guy theme. A message for Garthe: If you want to overload the electrical circuitry you will have to fit some shorting connections near the end of each circuit, and bypass the circuit breakers so they don't trip. That should cause a fire in no time. I estimate about a day's work and in 80s prices would do it for $1000. But you provide overnight accommodation. Somewhere else.

Oh no, it's the sinister Michael Knight. With a fake moustache, goatee and a bad attitude to match.

[@FirstDan2000]

The beard was equally bad.

[@PhenomProductions23]

It would have taken a week or 2 of delaying production if he had to wait for the Mustache and Soul Patch to grow naturally and film all the Garthe scenes of the episode then shave it off and redo all the scenes now as Michael. And a single day delayed when in the production phase, back then, could cost $100,000 per day, because you have equipment and dozens of crew members who were part of the production team who would be just sitting around doing nothing but eat and sleep waiting because the star decided to grow a real beard instead of putting on a 5 minute fake mustache with glue.

[@dcdrew3]

The one thing that didn't make sense was that Garth & dear Mother had tons of money from Wilton Knight. (Alot) & they didn't need to spend a ton of it to build that truck, kill Important scientist. Buy all the chemicals for the "Shell". & steal missions to sell. (Not to mention getting caught) They could've lived out their lives somewhat quietly.

[@PhenomProductions23]

I would think after the Divorce Wilton would have paid off his wife so she had money. But Garthe committed a crime and was in prison in Africa so Wilton cut him out from his life completely and then found Michael and made him into what he wanted his biological son to be.
