HOLY COW!!!!! That's a Pontiac Banshee 4!!! I had no idea they used it for a knight rider film. WOW! That would have been perfect for KITT. Or better yet, the 98-02 Body style. Mean and aggressive, gobs of power, easily upgradable, and KITT would have felt right at home. This is all very fresh and new to me. I'm so excited to see this piece of film history on screen. Especially that banshee. What a sight!

I didn't know it at the time, but after having watched SG-1, I instantly recognized the 4000's voice. It's Carmen Argenziano, who played Carter's father in SG-1. Unmistakably him. This movie was terrible, but it was still neat to see a familiar actor.

[@digitalmagicAR]

Title is misleading. The 4000 looks better in the garage than I remember back when I saw it in 1991. Still remarkable how KITT's 1982 interior looks exponentially better than the 1991 KIFT interior, and in reality only the stage dash had electronics, since the 2 real driving Knight4000 cars had blank interiors. It really irked me back in 1991 when Devon said the 4000 was technically superior since KITT actually was equal or superior in just about everything....and in the real world the Trans Am was hotter, better handing and better looking than the Banshee knockoff 6cycl non-turbo Stealth KIFT was. KITT basically kicked KIFT's tail pipe

There is no "Knight Industries Four Thousand" or "K.I.F.T." There is a Knight 4000 vehicle with a built-in generic A.I. using Russ Maddock's voice. Basically in this day & age it would be like having Siri. The Knight 2000 was built with Series 2000 circuitry and its A.I. happened to be named the Knight Industries Two Thousand. In some old Knight Rider episodes K.I.T.T. was removed from the Knight 2000 and ended up in a TV/radio yet he was still K.I.T.T.

[@TheStumyu]

Knight 4000 could have been so much more if the scriptwriters and money men had put more into this movie. Could've been really great in it's own right as a show. This is probably why people now use silly terms like 'kift'

They shoulda had an extended makeover scene where Michael installs KITT into the 4000, painting it black and with the help of KITT, modifying some parts to make the exterior to be more slim and less of a bullet point pen. I think the series woulda at least done some good with that.

[@charliered420]

The first concept designs showed KITT to be a black Banshee, but was changed to the color red and the model being from a Dodge Stealth. KITT being in this new form is I think because of Universal's choice to stray as far away from the original show as much as possible, due to a disagreement they had with Glen Larson and only crediting him for the characters in the film.

[@FirstDan2000]

The 4000 actually looks good, to say it's a copy of a concept car. It's filmed from good angles. The turbine sound inside the warehouse is quite good too. Pretty funny that it has Maddox's voice. Maybe Carmen was hoping to get 4 seasons out of it, like William Daniels did. Val Kilmer probably hoped for the same sort of thing.

@Vagner Abreu Honestly I didnt watch it enough to make a complete judgement, but from what I could watch I found every aspect you liked worthy of criticism. I didnt like the acting for instance, though it wasnt as horrible as some stuff these days, it was definitely serviceable for the day, but not outstanding either, and the cast being that much younger, and also filled with more background "computer hackers who work from home" types that really made the cast unnecessarily large. To me it just hit all the wrong notes and instead of a Knight Rider feel I got a just-another-CSI feel from it. Just with KITT in there.
