[@Romulan2469]

@@ericmadsen7470 No doubt about it. 80s were the golden era, 90s weren't bad at all but by the early 00s to present day it's all garbage now. All the shows are watered down, no individuality and wokeism and social media took the fun out of action shows altogether. Sometimes I watch a movie or tv show now and it looks like I am watching a computer game, so ridiculous is the CGI I just switch off completely. Hollywood doesn't have the guts to do real action stunts anymore with good original storylines and characters. That's what made all these shows great because they were unique and were written and made well. Those days are gone forever.

@@glyptodon_ch that makes sense 🤔

[@sbcool1027]

That's why he chose to use the thermodynamic generator on the bikes' tires. Actually, a smart move, since the air inside a tire can change, depending on the air conditions. If the air's hot, a tire expands depending on how hot it is. If it's cold, it's vice versa because the tire contracts since it's colder. Now, the word "thermodynamic" is important, since the generator heats the air in the tires rapidly, causing them to expand at a rapid rate. Eventually, the pressure is too much and the air escapes. That loud "pop" is the sidewall of the tires rupturing, letting the air escape, and the tires go flat. Quite impressive if I may say so.

[@cobrakai226]

Yeah but in that episode kidnapped when Kitt was in that steel container he said he's going to try to turbo boost his way out of there then when he couldn't do it he said there's no use I can't get a running start to generate enough power to penetrate steel......... When kitt jumps over the ferret he doesn't need that much power to jump over.

[@wudaddy]

KITT has jumped from standing before. He jumped out of the car compactor in "Blind Spot." It all depends on what has to be done. If KITT needs to power through an obstacle or over a large one, he needs to build speed. The ferret wasn't large, so KITT just hopped over.

[@theartoftimelapsemore424]

7:21 In a scientific way, this makes sense. Michael tells KITT to use his thermodynamic generator on the bikes' tires. This was a good idea, because tires can be affected by air pressure inside and outside. When the air inside a tire is heated up quickly, the pressure will try to find a way out. This results in the sidewall of the tire rupturing - that's that "pop" we hear. The heated air now has a chance to escape and the pressure is relieved. Knight Rider - corny acting, yes. Scientifically amazing, absolutely.

[@robinaroundtown...2194]

I was on this episode assisting my dad as a still photographer and the stuntman in the sidecar on the bike as it rolled over got hurt... He got pinned by the frame... So if you notice they have the actor come out from under the sidecar... Just another day when things go wrong on a set and they have to shoot around it...!

[@BayAreaRushHour]

Yeah that looked real nasty and unplanned, but I know in the stunt business that if someone gets hurt, they usually request that shot to be put in since it’s definitely a once in a lifetime type shot that cannot be replicated. Remember that Andy samberg’s stunt double broke his back on a stunt and he insisted that it be used in the final cut

[@techoverload]

Literally came to the comments section to mention the stuntman had to have gotten hurt, I've ridden motorcycles my entire life basically, been down a few times and it was obvious that was not planned. I bet he had some real nice road rash on the palms of his hands from putting them down as it rolled. Glad to hear he survived without to major of injuries. I rewatched that section several times wondering how he fared, being half in the sidecar as it rolled over him face first I can't imagine it would have been good for his back.
