There wasn't a kid outside when both episodes came on I was glued to the TV when I was a kid

[@bradleyphillips204]

That's for sure but the next day when I was six my friends and I were outside finding speed bumps and dirt piles to jump trying to be like knight rider 😅

[@donjohn2695]

The glory days of Tv

[@INFAMOUSLSG]

One thing I'll always love about the Garth/goliath arc is that they always have goliath sounding like a monsterous force of nature. Like how the prisoners heard it coming from like a few miles away lol. Willing to bet david had a ball playing dual roles.

[@knight2000ct]

I believe has said that it was too much work as he was on set double the time that’s why they never came up with a third.

[@JACKTHETRIXTER]

David took down Goliath. Hm. I think I read about that somewhere before.

[@U2QuoZepplin]

That's the thing about playing the villain . It's so much more fun than playing the good guy and the opportunities for over acting are great! Hasslehoff with the big bushy caveman beard is great though! 🤣

[@JACKTHETRIXTER]

I take it back. This is growing on me as I watch it more and more.

[@benzina7]

It is a beast of god.

[@alexl2981]

I love how the driver knew to jump out and let Garthe drive. 😂

[@nathueil1]

Roll on Big Daddy!

[@Denver_Risley]

Absolutely right. Garthe drives. Period. AND he bothered to toot the victory horn on the way out.

[@supermario8416]

Better than 99% of todays movies !

[@RandallHallKaizenReiki]

Oh, eighties cheese. How wonderful. It would have been easier and safer if Garth had jumped in the passenger side, but he risked both their lives coming around to the driver's side so he could be the one to drive. Also, honking the horn. Such classic over-the-top super-villainy. I love it.

[@Angyali]

It was probably the adrenalin. He just regained his freedom.

[@duncanwilson7390]

Goliath was unstoppable. Until the driver went over his tacho hours 😁

[@USMC-sz6vw]

He drives away at 10 miles an hour. Prison guards: there's nothing we can do now.

[@dcdrew3]

Yeah, don't get Into any police cruisers that they probably have on the prison grounds & try & go after him! lol.

[@freighttrain7143]

Of course not! It was bulletproof! If you can't shoot it, you just keep shooting AT IT! THERE'S NO OTHER POSSIBLE STEPS TO TAKE! OBVIOUSLY! *_DON'T YOU KIDS KNOW ANYTHING?!?!_* 🤣😂😅

[@colormedubious4747]

He managed to turn that big rig around in the little prison yard ONLY by the sheer magic of editing!

[@JohnSmith-lw2bm]

And little toy models…….

[@chesterbowles7950]

That's not magic.....that's Knight Rider....well ....Goliath anyway.......

[@kashourikatsu2543]

🤣🤣🤣

[@nooneinparticular1491]

True, but the things that they needed to edit out were all of the Goliath-shaped holes that were made in all of the buildings and walls that surrounded the yard :)

[@joshuabowmans9850]

I love that super truck.

[@txtworld]

Meticulous planning & preparation went into this stunt - they temporarily removed the truck’s two black exhaust pipes, so they wouldn’t get knocked off when the truck smashed at speed through the wall. Kudos to the talented stunt driver

[@NikoBellaKhouf2]

That was nice of him to leave through the same hole when he could have easily punched through another one 😂

[@U2QuoZepplin]

Funny how nice and square the hole is too. I would've thought a big truck like that would have practically destroyed the whole wall and made a much bigger hole than that. And why weren't all the other jail birds rushing to make s break for it with a nice big Goliath sized hole in the perimiter wall . Maybe they only had a few days or months left on their sentence? 😂

[@GarretGrayCamera]

It would be unnecessary but completely hilarious if he punched another hole right next to the previous one.

[@U2QuoZepplin]

@@GarretGrayCamera It would be unnecessary yeah, but Garth is supposed to be the bad guy. Why would he care about the mess he's going to cause by making another hole in the prison wall. I suppose the previous one made such a nice, neat hole that it would be a simple affair of bricking up another nice neat reasonably square hole in the prison wall. They should probably be grateful that Goliath didn't demolish the whole damned wall or make it collapse . lolz

[@peterisnardi1197]

Probably wasn't in the budget to do the same stunt twice...

[@scruffyafro3632]

It was blowing the horn on the way out to let all the cars and trucks also parked in the prison yard that they were coming through... oh wait...

[@Howyaduing]

Goliath should’ve had its own computer system like Kitt

[@Angyali]

His master wasn't interested in it. He wanted to feel every inch of Goliath's brute force while driving!

[@jamescolby7125]

@@Angyali yeah Garthe doesn't strike me as a team player who listens to someone else's ideas even if it is a super computer. I think his mother is the only one he really listened to.

[@alexpowers5117]

They should equip Goliath with state of the art guns or lasers

[@TheDarkVampire666]

I read there was a plan to bring Garth back but with a rebuilt KARR obviously it never happened but Michael and KITT vs Garth and KARR could've been interesting

[@cerealfibre6938]

2:24 "You're not coming with me!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@reconforsales7708]

Yep atleast he wont be guilty of aiding and abeiting a prisoner.

[@phoenixblack1220]

This had to have been one of the best and most darkest episodes of the entire series.

[@athlonen]

It had the potential to be even darker. I mean, picture this: In the pilot, Tanya Walker dies. From the episode "A Good Knight's Work", Tanya's lover, Cameron Zachary, discovers Michael Long is still alive. He wants KITT. He works with Adrienne to try to get KITT. Adrienne springs Garthe to do just that. Garthe tells his sister, Jennifer (Knight of the Juggernaut) that Michael isn't Michael Knight, gets Michael dropped from FLAG, and gets access to the schematics that makes KITT.. or even KARR. This had the potential to go a LONG way.. but everything changed in 1986.. I mean, nearly every major guest star or supporting actor/actress ends up going to Star Trek: The Next Generation.

[@phoenixblack1220]

@@athlonen that’s actually a nice bridge and character arc. They did have such potentially bridge continuity of episodes. I really with they would have.

[@ken.f.c.1977]

2:12 you got the touch ...

[@martystrasinger3801]

The inmates all had such beautifully coiffed hair!

[@asifkhan4822]

David Hasselhoff certainly got to flex his acting jobs by playing both the Villian Garthe Knight and hero Michael Knight. He even grew a beard to show off his badness as the hammy villain Garth.

[@petskup4]

There is rumours that Garth role stuck on for a while.😮

[@rickrandom6734]

Did he won Oscar that year?

[@petskup4]

@@rickrandom6734 yep. He was little bit a Garth in the gala David told couple years ago.😯

[@giraffesareselfish9563]

Grew a beard? You do know that's a fake beard right?

[@Bobainthome]

Goliath didn't spring Garthe out... the guy driving Goliath did it... he just used goliath.

[@notallowed337]

Such an 80s escape plan

[@mantisgardens1375]

The guy driving the truck out of there went through that whole perfectly... Good old fashioned stunt drivers

[@txtworld]

You’re right, an adept stunt driver indeed - there wasn’t much room for error, to maneuver the big rig through that hole. No CGI fakery like nowadays

[@stevenallan5822]

Did anyone else see the continuity error with the trailer wheels?, one scene they are right at the back of the trailer but in another they are a bit more along from the back. And of course we get to see KITTs parachute in this 2 parter.

[@Brokensoldier1973]

Seen, its like that on the first Fast and Furious movie with the first container truck. They removed 1 axle so that they could get all 3 civics underneath the trailer, whereas when the truck leaves the docks, its got 2 axles....

[@DyspareEmbodied]

All of these inmates look like they are doing hard time for j-walking and loitering.

Say what you want .... that was badass .

[@jonathanmyers2867]

Adrianne: Oh, such passion. Is it me you love, or your freedom? Garthe: Only a fool would answer that question. You have exquisite tastes, Adrienne. How much is this costing me? Adrianne: I broke you out of prison. Don't talk to me about dollars and cents. Garthe: Goliath broke me out of prison. Adrianne: And *I* rebuilt Goliath. Resurrected him from a burnt-out shell in the desert. Just as I directed this project from the beginning. Never forget that. Garthe: The dungeon. Is it as I requested? Adrianne: Exactly.

[@ChristinaAguilerasAttorney]

Very nicely done

[@jasonf5413]

just out of prison she's in a bikini and he decides to stop and argue about cost. Only thing I found questionable about this scene. Other than you would think FLAG should have probably towed Goliath out after he was gutted in the desert knowing what he was.

[@darthflyer]

@@jasonf5413 keep in mind FLAG left KARR on the beach after he crashed.

[@jasonf5413]

[@jasonf5413]

Well even as a kid I wondered why they would suppress all that technology that could help military and police not to mention first responders with Kits ability to diagnose remotely. Flag had a monopoly on alien level technology that could have got them all rich and bettered mankind. I just hope they didnt leave the ICBMs in the desert in the back of Goliaths trailer.

[@DBRising]

I recall most prisoners have masking tape identification numbers. Ah the 80's such a simple time of honest dishonesty.

[@FLYBOY409]

Imagine if some of these prisoners were other criminals Michael dealt with in previous episodes and Garthe had been associating with them. Instead of just unknown prisoners played by extras.

[@Zoras88]

imagine if Goliath was as sentient as KITT

[@tomdolton2960]

I knew Garth had to be thinking I recognize that sound but how and after busting through the steel-reinforced concrete prison wall He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt Goliath had returned and the driver seeing where Garth was then driving the truck directly in the path of the prison guards he could make his escape so in his mind Goliath rescued him

I assume at the time it was too expensive to license songs, in the background you can hear "Heart and Soul" originally done by Huey Lewis and the News, but was a cover version by a local band, most of the songs in Knight Rider were covers with the exception of "Count Me Out" by New Edition in the episode "Knight Song" because aforementioned New Edition were guests on said episode.

Another reason why NE's song appeared plus the group was because of the company connection. The group was signed to MCA which was the same company that owned Universal, the producers of Knight Rider.

I know this may be a little off topic. I'm just curious. If you were to ever to find the cemi tractor and trailor they used as Goliath if you could or would purchase it.
