KITT's Body Gets Stolen! | Knight Rider CLIP

[@vinpetrol4309]

Spectacular jump performed by stunt driver/stunt coordinator Jack Gill. It's one of my favourite episode because they did not use any 1/8 scale models or the VW buggy jump car with the Trans Am rubber shell. This season 2 episode is titled Soul Survivor and it features 2 spectacular jumps with the heavily modified Trans Am that has acrylic windows instead of glass. The roof was cut and welded a metal plate. It has a roll cage, the fuel tank was replaced with a small fuel cell, the underbody of the car was reinforced, heavy duty suspension were added, a skid plate underneath the car for oil pan protection and the hubcaps were bolt on the wheels to prevent them to flying out. The windows were tinted for practical reasons during the jump because it would have been dangerous to perform that stunt hidden inside a blind seat without any protective gear. Before fastening the five points harnesses the stunt driver must be wearing his stunt vest, kneepads, neck protection and a helmet. So no CGI just as real as it can get even when they use the scale models. The real cars were quite new and not cheap to acquire. They may have had a dozen cars at the time if not less.

This was one of the best episodes of Knight Rider. And one of the best turbo boosts too.

Kitt That’s Our Car But Nobody’s Drivin It

0:53 love the big ol Hoff wig they put over the stunt driver's helmet

3:10 nice Turbo boost

[@FletchBrendanGood]

even though I was only 12 when I saw this episode, the move the kid does with the joystick at 2:57 really bothered me. "its obviously an Atari joystick, those only have four movements, and the stick doesnt have a rotational or twist control like he seems to be doing. and why is he throwing his elbow way out to the side?" so I concluded there was no way that kid was driving that car, and was doing a bad job pretending he could. but I still happily watched every episode I could, until Street Hawk debuted a year later and I switched my allegiance

Good luck that's happened John Connors 😂❤

HOW MANY CAR'S USE FOR SOUL SERVIER

[@knightrcer]

Seeing the knight 2000 vehicle turbo boost and on remote like that without kitt did seem spooky. We know that car wasn"t kitt. Just his body. Many don't realize kitt isnt the car. Kitt is the onboard AI thay runs the cars systems. It can be completely operated without the kitt sysyem.still nof sure of thay was the samd for karr since we saw his onboard AI cpu at the end of kitt vs karr, why wilton didnt just create a brand new AI system to go along with the Karr body.
