Always loved that tire-smoking launch! At least one of the KITT cars had some guts as seen here and a few other eps. Either a 350 or maybe hopped up 305. Certainly more than the mild mods they did to most of their 305 cars. That turbo boost was massive! And shot very well from an angle and zoom so that it looked like they barely cleared the Camaro and also made the front buckling look less. Knight Rider had a talented crew

It always seemed Michael was reluctant to explain KITT to people. I always felt like he was supposed to keep KITT as a top secret, but then KITT always messes with people behind his back. And also, what kind of jackass goes up to someone else's car and tries to open it with an electric saw?

[@GreenJeep1998]

Think about how far over the top just the concept of still was KITT was just 10-15 years ago, let alone 30 years ago. even if he could have bragged about KITT, that could have convinced the right cops and judge to have him committed until KITT or Devin was able to break him out. Come to think if it, KITT doing that would have been awesome if done like the A-Team Movie scene where they were breaking Murdock out during the movie!

[@morganrussman]

Like Jonathan mentions, or on top of what they say, 3 point seatbelts (what we have today, I think) were I think a thing back when this show was on the air, I think that they may have been set as code that manufacturers had to put 3 point seatbelts in in 1968 or somewheres around there, but it's often common for tv show producers to either RIP them out or buy cars straight from the factory without seatbelts I guess due to cumbersomeness and possible unsightlyness of the seatbelts during filming. The lazer restraint I guess is the idea that it's supposed to be like a substitute for a seatbelt. I'm guessing that the producers just put simple graphics up on screen either during filming or during post production.

[@Guardian4ever]

not sure but I think they came up with this invention because they removed the seat belts because they didn't want them in the shot
