He reactivates KITT's logic module and installs him in the dashboard of his 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air.

Honestly nothing since the end of series is considered cannon. All the reboots of Knight Rider had ZERO to do with KITT and Michael Knight.

[@cecwaterbury]

​@@fragalot I always thought KR 08 was canon cause it was a sequel to the original that took place in 2008

[@piotrmalewski8178]

@@cecwaterbury Yes, but it was bad. Scripts were so cliche every next scene was predictable beforehand, the car looked like it was taken from street tuning meeting, not to mention the choice of base car was terrible from the start. The 04 Mustang was designed after 60s model, so not only it looks retro, but it actually has also pretty bad drag coefficient (0,36 if I remember), while the old Pontiac Firebird KITT was based on, achieved 0.29, which is rarely achieved even today, and the hubcaps and wheel opening spoilers KITT and early Trans Ams used, improved coefficient by 0.01. Glen Larson said he specifically wanted that car. It wasn't like with Ford who pushes his cars into NBC's productions. Pontiac had to be talked to and his CEO was against the idea.

[@fragalot]

@@cecwaterbury Team Knight Rider from 1997 that consisted of a fleet of KITTs of cars of different kinds (Dodge sports cars, SUVs, 4x4,, and I think motorcycles), but none were trans-ams, and none of of them had talking AI, but they all had the red scanner at the front of each car. The show had some decent action but was otherwise a boring series, and only lasted a season. KR 2008 felt like it was a show that left off from Team Knight Rider, as if all the other cars were destroyed and only one car remained. But it's not, but it did try to pick up where Michal knight left off. Except in this series the car is a Ford Mustang, this one did have a talking AI but frankly this wasn't very memorable and it lasted one season. Then there was KR 2010 movie which, i don't remember at all. The synopsis says it's "loosely based on the 80's series but takes place in a apocalyptical future" which I guess is 2010 (LOL) as the movie came out in 1994. I ought to watch this for a laugh, cuz I either never watched it or it was so bad i just don't remember it. IMDB gives it 2.9/10 rating. Around this time there was another series called Viper (94-99), which was about a Dodge Viper that was a much better show (cooler looking car), but all the car did was "morph" into a super card to drive faster, it had no AI or anything like KITT. Viper lasted 4 seasons and was a better than all the past attempts at a new Knight Rider, but nothing was as good as the original 80's series, despite it's campy cheese.. but hey that was the 80s.

It would have been better if they had some engineer for a consultant, and instead stated that throttle controller got messed.

Which leads me to another point. Apparently, they were going to make KITT more like human (and unreliable) person, as he keeps making errors and it's explained that he's missing some special chip they can't find compatible replacement for, and they can't recover the original, because it was used to replace a destroyed part of new lead character's brain.

[@procta2343]

@@piotrmalewski8178 yeah a lot of things were wrong with the plot, they could have gone on from one of the episodes in the series, and brought the two back again, to help the new lead Character out, while the Four Thousand is still, been built and tested. , Deven dies peacefully and leaves KITT to Michael in his Will. That would have worked, and it would have handed the Knight Rider story over, and maybe kept it going into the early 2000s. But the replacement car should have been the three thousand, rather than the four thousand. Then have the Series that rebooted it all, take over from this, which would introduce Michael's son and a new car. Bit like star trek Next generation, handing over to DS9 and then DS9 onto voyager.

James Doohan played Scotty in the original 7 Movies from Star Trek The Motion Picture to Star Trek Generations. Not 10. He made only one appearance in one of the ST TNG Episodes called "Relics". But, I guess this is how the script was made for that 2-hour movie.

[@RavenHawkes]

I really never understood the point of Michael really doing this. Devon could of got a team together to rebuild KITT is some form or manner. Even a story where with the current technology leads to constructing the Knight 4000 with KITT as the AI for the vehicle.

[@generalilbis]

I think the point was that, by the TV movie's fictional version of 2000, Devon was basically out of a position of power at Knight Industries or FLAG (or both). He couldn't requisition or spend money and resources to build KITT a replacement body because the guy giving Michael and KITT grief here was the one holding the purse strings and keeping FLAG going on as more than a think-tank (Devon says here that all the research in the world isn't worth anything if it never gets used).
