I grew up watching the original Knight Rider tv show and I never missed an episode when it was new. When 1990 rolled around and they released the Knight Rider 2000 TV movie, I was so excited to see how they upgraded KITT. I have to say that I was disappointed. KITT should always be all Black in color. I never liked the red paint job. I do find it bizarre that the producers of the show didn’t use a modern Trans Am or the Pontiac Banshee for that matter. Clearly they had very different people working on Knight Rider 2000 in comparison to the original tv show. Anyways, it’s super cool to see that an original Knight Rider 2000 Hero car is still intact and in one piece. Hopefully it finds a good home where they completely restore it.

One of the cool things about Knight Rider 2000, maybe the ONLY cool thing, were the sound effects. Since the movie was set in the year 2000, the sound engineers went back to the movie 2001: Space Odyssey and borrowed a LOT of the sound effects and used them throughout the Knight Rider 2000 movie. If you pay attention to sound design, it was a nice Easter Egg.

I'm a fan of the original series and I've watched the TV movie. To be honest the TV movie wasn't very good. There are episodes from the TV show that are better than the TV movie. The 4000 doesn't really prove it's superiority to the 2000, when you look at the dash there are 4 buttons , tv set and it has virtual reality and it shoots ultra shocks at people. I think the movie would have done itself justice by having more stuff with the new car and having the original Trans AM in the movie getting destroyed by the villain and then replaced by the 4000 with Kitt inside. I also think a cameo with April, Bonnie and CJ would have greatly helped the show. Killing off Devon was kind of a waste. I didn't think the new villain was that great, A villain like Garth and his mother would have been better or a group of villains with the addition of KARR, Goliath with Garth at the helm with some of the tycoons or women villains would have been great. I would say the movie is about average. Quick Note; Michael Knight had a Trans AM in the original pilot of Knight of the Phoenix. I find it hard to believe he would be all excited over his 1957 Chevy the whole time when he had his Trans Am. It really should've been in the TV movie as homage to KITT.
