The "Lost" Knight Rider Spin-off Pilot "Code of Vengeance" (Full Movie) 1985

You can support this channel on Patreon! Link below.
On June 30, 1985, NBC aired "Code of Vengeance", a spin-off of the original "Knight Rider" series featuring the character of David Dalton, who appeared in season two's "Mouth of the Snake". This movie is very loosely connected to "Knight Rider" and even features a few KR references - see if you can spot them!

Yup. I remember renting this on betamax format back in the 80s. Soon as I saw "Roadhouse" I thought there were similarities. I think there was even a sequel to this which I found to be more action packed, been awhile so I can't remember much except it involved going up against ex soldiers.

[@AldenRDavis]

The character of David Dalton (L. Charles Taylor) was first introduced in the two-part episode, “Mouth of the Snake” in season 2 of Knight Rider. Dalton was originally an action-oriented government agent. In “Code of Vengeance,” the character is reimagined as a flashback-prone Vietnam veteran who drifts across the country, encountering people in trouble, and helping them to find justice with his unique fighting skills. Although his physical agility, acrobatic skill, and martial arts expertise that Dalton displayed in “Mouth of the Snake” was toned down to a simpler, more violent, fighting style.

The connection was more properly a backdoor pilot than spin-off, although technically both, as they just picked a script to feature on Knight Rider in the hopes of launching a new series from the start vs. fashioning existing canon into its own series based on positive audience feedback and popularity.

Matt Ayres it was a spin-off series to mouth of the shake but failed.

3:53 if bad guys fought like that in real life, the world would be a safer place.

Thank you much 🙏 ☺️ 😘

[@robertbennett9169]

Did they just remake it years later & call it Road House. Weird coincidences. Dalton, leather jacket, mullet, & fighting 😂

It's very common for scripts to be re-cylced or outright reused. A lot of the 80's shows even reused the same script in the same week with different shows. Like.... Knight Rider would first use the original script and then it would be edited and proofed for Dukes Of Hazard, 6 MDM, or even Battlestar Galactica. They would just change minor details such as names and places and basically redress the story using different characters. If you watched enough 80's TV as I did, it became blatantly obvious at times.

@@cassidystarchild7907 The dukes of hazard was on the air 3 years before knight rider lol. and ended 1 year before it.

So maybe this was based on the case of a town killing Ken Mcelroy then too? From the documentary 'No one saw a thing' since i thought that was the was the inspiration for Road House.

10:35 the suspense music during the snake encounter is from "KITT vs. KARR"

Awesome that you found this. The music from Mouth of the Snake was so much better., though.
