Knight Rider is an American television series, that originally ran from September 26, 1982, to August 8, 1986. The series was broadcast on NBC and stars David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a high-tech modern day knight fighting crime with the help of an advanced, artificially intelligent and nearly indestructible car.

Conceived and produced by Glen A. Larson, the show was an instant hit. "I wanted to do The Lone Ranger with a car", and "Kind of a sci-fi thing, with the soul of a western", Larson said in The Last Great Ride.

Plot

Self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police detective Michael Arthur Long after a near fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (via plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. Wilton selects Michael to be the primary field agent in the pilot program of his Knight Industries-funded public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). The other half of this pilot program is the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), a heavily modified Pontiac Trans Am with numerous features including an extremely durable shell and frame, controlled by a computer with artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT are brought in during situations where "direct action might provide the only feasible solution".

Heading FLAG is Devon Miles, who provides Michael with directives and guidance. Dr. Bonnie Barstow is the chief engineer in charge of KITT's care, as well as technical assistant to Devon (April Curtis fills this role in Season 2).
Production

The car used as KITT in the series was a customized 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am sports model, that cost US$100,000 to build.[1]
Cast and characters

David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight (born Michael Arthur Long) – An undercover Las Vegas police detective who, while on a case, is shot in the face and nearly killed. Wilton Knight, creator of FLAG, directs his doctors to save Long's life and reconstruct his face. With his new identity, "Michael Knight", Long is provided with high tech crime-fighting equipment, most notably the car nicknamed KITT. David Hasselhoff also played the villainous Garthe Knight, Wilton's estranged son, who has become a criminal.
William Daniels as the voice of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) – The autonomous, artifical intelligent car, with whom Michael Knight is partnered. Daniels, who simultaneously also starred on St. Elsewhere, requested to not be credited for his role as KITT's voice.
Edward Mulhare as Devon Miles – The leader of FLAG, who appeared in nearly every episode to provide mission details to Knight and KITT. He was also the spokesman for FLAG whenever it came under scrutiny.
Patricia McPherson as Dr. Bonnie Barstow (Seasons 1, 3-4) – KITT's chief technician and as romantic tension for Michael. The character was dropped after the first season, but due to strong fan reaction and lobbying by Hasselhoff and Mulhare, she was returned for the third season and remained through the end of the series.[2]
Rebecca Holden as April Curtis (Season 2) – Chief technician for KITT. The character was written out, when Patricia McPherson returned.
Peter Parros as Reginald Cornelius III aka RC3 (Season 4) – Driver of the FLAG mobile unit and occasional sideman for Michael & KITT.
Richard Basehart as Wilton Knight – The creator of FLAG, who dies in the pilot episode. Basehart's voice, however, is heard throughout the series, narrating over the credits.

Spinoffs and sequels
Code of Vengeance

The two-part episode "Mouth of the Snake" served as a backdoor pilot for a 1984 series to be called All That Glitters. Rejected by NBC, the lead character and actor were recycled for a short-lived 1985-1986 series titled Code of Vengeance, revolving around Charles Taylor as Vietnam veteran David Dalton. The Knight Rider episode featured Dalton exhibiting great gymnastics, not unlike The Six Million Dollar Man sans bionics, but when Code of Vengeance aired, Dalton was an ordinary-skilled drifter. It soon fell off the schedules after only two two-hour movies and two one-hour episodes.[3]
Knight Rider 2000
Main article: Knight Rider 2000

Knight Rider 2000 was a 1991 sequel movie featuring Michael Knight and Devon Miles, with KITT being given a new sporty red body (a close copy of the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car, actually a Dodge Stealth with custom body work) as the Knight 4000. It served as a pilot for a would-be new series starring Susan Norman as Shawn McCormick, but it did not sell.
Knight Rider 2010

Knight Rider 2010 is a 1994 movie loosely based on the show. There are so few links to the original show, it may not be considered canon other than for carrying the Knight Rider title. The film was penned by Miami Vice writer John Leekley.
Team Knight Rider

In 1997, Team Knight Rider was introduced as a spinoff. Set sometime in the near future, the show featured a fleet of intelligent vehicles. Michael Knight returned at the end of the final episode of the first season, though he was not played by David Hasselhoff. This was a cliffhanger intended to be explained in the next season. However, the show did not catch on and the second season was not commissioned. Team Knight Rider ran for 22 episodes.
2008 television movie and sequel
Main articles: Knight Rider (2008 film) and Knight Rider (2008 TV series)

On September 26, 2007, NBC announced, that it was creating a two-hour backdoor pilot to air later that season.[4] In the new version, Justin Bruening stars as the estranged son of Michael Knight, Mike Traceur.[5] Deanna Russo plays Traceur's one-time girlfriend and love interest, Sarah Graiman.[5] Bruce Davison co-stars as her father, physicist Charles Graiman, the original designer of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand).[5] Wayne Kasserman co-stars as Mike's roommate and friend.[6] David Hasselhoff also has a cameo as Michael Knight.[5] The new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is portrayed as a Ford Shelby GT 500 KR Mustang.[7]

Supervising producer Dave Andron wrote the pilot script, Doug Liman and Dave Bartis executive produced it.[5] NBC announced on December 13, 2007 that the 2-hour pilot would air on February 17, 2008. Val Kilmer recorded the voice for the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) Mustang, after Will Arnett, who initially won the role, was asked to withdraw by General Motors due to his prior advertising agreements with them.[8] Sydney Tamiia Poitier, the youngest daughter of Sidney Poitier, played FBI agent Carrie Rivai.

After receiving good ratings, NBC announced, that Knight Rider would return as a weekly series beginning in the fall of 2008. The show aired Wednesdays at 8:00pm/7:00pm CT.[9] The series premiered September 24, 2008 on NBC. In November 2008, NBC announced, that the series had been picked up for a complete 22-episode season but that several cast members would be leaving and the story lines revamped after the original 13-episode order.[10] On May 19, 2009, NBC announced that Knight Rider was canceled after one season because of poor ratings.
Film adaptation

In March 2002, Revolution Studios announced a partnership with Mayhem Pictures to create a film adaptation of the TV series. The film would be re-designed to be similar to Revolution's previous project, xXx. Series creator Glen A. Larson was hired to write the first script draft, with the series' lead actor David Hasselhoff attached to advise the project and also have an onscreen role.[11] In April 2003, Revolution Studios hired screenwriters David Elliott and Paul Lovett to pen the film's script.[12] In April 2004, the premise of the film was described as having Hasselhoff reprise his role as Michael Knight, though he would be an elder statesman, who would serve as a mentor to the protagonist in the same way that Devon Miles mentored Knight in the TV series. The protagonist would be Knight's son, inheriting the family business and driving the vehicle KITT. The producers' choice for the role was actor Ben Affleck.[13] The series' voice of KITT, William Daniels, was being sought by Hasselhoff to reprise his role, as well as Peter Cullen for the voice of KARR.[citation needed]

In May 2006, The Weinstein Company acquired film rights to adapt Knight Rider from series creator Larson. He expressed his interest in the film adaptation as a potential franchise property.[14] The following September, Hasselhoff invited actor Orlando Bloom to portray Knight's son in the film adaptation, but Bloom turned down the offer.[15] In April 2007, Hasselhoff said, that the film was in development at Miramax, and that he would at least have a cameo in the film.[16]

In September 2007, Glen A. Larson appeared in a personal video for Knightcon 07 in the UK. This marked Larson's first public video appearance, in which he addressed the fans directly and presented visual confirmation of a script for a proposed Knight Rider motion picture. Since this initial appearance, plans have been underway at The Weinstein Company to bring Knight Rider to the big screen as an updated take on the original series pilot, "Knight of the Phoenix". Larson's motion picture plans have no connection to the 2008 TV series by NBC.[citation needed]

Knight Rider in popular culture

On July 8, 2008, GPS manufacturer Mio Technology announced the release of a Knight Rider-themed GPS unit for a price of $270. The unit has the original Knight Rider logo printed above the display and features the voice of William Daniels.[19]
Toys, games and vehicles
Kenner's Knight 2000 Voice Car with Michael Knight action figure
Hitari 1/15 Knight Rider KITT remote control car
Diamond Select Toys Electronic 1/15 Knight Rider KITT

Various toy versions of KITT were released and produced solid profits. Among the more notable of the Knight Rider memorabilia includes the remote controlled KITT, the Knight Rider lunch box, and the deluxe version of KITT. This final model, sold by Kenner Toys and dubbed the "Knight Rider Voice Car", spoke electronically (actual voice of William Daniels), featured a detailed interior and a Michael Knight action figure as well.[20]

In the 1980s there was a Knight Rider toy vehicle for Germany's Darda system.[21]

Knight Rider: The Game was produced by Davilex International under license. Players could drive KITT through 15 missions and meeting characters from the show like Devon, Bonnie, KARR and Garthe Knight.[22] Davilex also released a sequel in late 2004.[23]

As with many popular series of the era (including The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team etc.), ERTL released die-cast toys of KITT in three different sizes — the common miniature sized model, a 'medium' sized model, and a large sized model. These toys featured red reflective holograms on the nose to represent the scanner (however, they were located on the point of the nose, rather like the early mock-up of KITT seen in the Pilot) as opposed to altering the basic model design to incorporate the scanner as commonly seen in the series. The toys also included round steering wheels as opposed to KITT's customized one. Also in late 2004, 1/18 scale die-cast models of KITT and KARR were produced from ERTL complete with detailed interior and light up moving scanner just like in the series.[24]

In September 2006, Hitari, a UK based company that produces remote control toy cars, released the Knight Rider KITT remote control car in 1/15 scale complete with the working red scanner lights, KITT's voice from the TV show and the car's turbine engine sound with the "whoosh whoosh" scanner sound effect.[25][26]

In December 2012, Diamond Select Toys released a talking electronic 1/15 scale KITT which features a light up dashboard, scanner, foglights and tail lights along with the original voice of KITT, William Daniels, all at a push of a button. An Entertainment Earth exclusive version of that Diamond Select Toys 1/15 KITT, exclusive as it will include an in scale figure of Michael Knight to go with the car, is due for release in February of 2013 and is available exclusively at Entertainment Earth's website. Diamond Select Toys will also be releasing an 8-inch figure of Michael Knight with the likeness of David Hasselhoff which will be released in March of 2013.[27] [28] [29]
Music

The series had a strong musical connection, the theme tune has been sampled and remixed a number of times, and episodes featured popular music tracks as well as original compositions.

The Knight Rider theme has been sampled by the following artists:

Punjabi MC: Mundian To Bach Ke and also on a remix featuring Jay-Z called Beware of the Boys
Busta Rhymes: Turn It Up (Remix)/Fire It Up
Timbaland & Magoo ft Mad Skillz: Clock Strikes
Lil' Kim How Many Licks?
Mobb Deep Click Click
So Solid Crew Ride Wid Us

Moreover, alternative metal band System of a Down used a part of the theme in their song "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" from the album Steal This Album!.

In addition, Film Score Monthly released a limited-edition disc of music from the series in 2005, featuring Glen A. Larson and Stu Phillips's theme and cues from Phillips's scores for "Knight of the Phoenix" (the pilot), "Not a Drop to Drink", "Trust Doesn't Rust", "Forget Me Not" and "Inside Out". The album finishes with Phillips's music for the Glen Larson Productions logo.

The Knight Rider theme was most recently featured as Ted's ringtone in John's phone in the 2012 comedy film Ted.[30]

A series of annuals were published each year in the UK by Grandreams. These books consisted of a mix of text stories and cartoon strips, as well as photos and articles on the shows stars and KITT. There were five annuals produced in total, each reflecting the different season of the show, that was airing at the time, with the final two releases covering the final season. (The last annual was printed in a quite small quantity, due to popularity of the show gradually fading, and is considerably rarer as a result).

Self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police detective Michael Arthur Long after a near fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (via plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. Wilton selects Michael to be the primary field agent in the pilot program of his Knight Industries-funded public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). The other half of this pilot program is the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), a heavily modified Pontiac Trans Am with numerous features including an extremely durable shell and frame, controlled by a computer with artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT are brought in during situations where "direct action might provide the only feasible solution".
Heading FLAG is Devon Miles, who provides Michael with directives and guidance. Dr. Bonnie Barstow is the chief engineer in charge of KITT's care, as well as technical assistant to Devon (April Curtis fills this role in Season 2).

David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight (born Michael Arthur Long) – An undercover Las Vegas police detective who, while on a case, is shot in the face and nearly killed. Wilton Knight, creator of FLAG, directs his doctors to save Long's life and reconstruct his face. With his new identity, "Michael Knight", Long is provided with high tech crime-fighting equipment, most notably the car nicknamed KITT. David Hasselhoff also played the villainous Garthe Knight, Wilton's estranged son, who has become a criminal.
William Daniels as the voice of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) – The autonomous, artifical intelligent car, with whom Michael Knight is partnered. Daniels, who simultaneously also starred on St. Elsewhere, requested to not be credited for his role as KITT's voice.
Edward Mulhare as Devon Miles – The leader of FLAG, who appeared in nearly every episode to provide mission details to Knight and KITT. He was also the spokesman for FLAG whenever it came under scrutiny.
Patricia McPherson as Dr. Bonnie Barstow (Seasons 1, 3-4) – KITT's chief technician and as romantic tension for Michael. The character was dropped after the first season, but due to strong fan reaction and lobbying by Hasselhoff and Mulhare, she was returned for the third season and remained through the end of the series.[2]
Rebecca Holden as April Curtis (Season 2) – Chief technician for KITT. The character was written out, when Patricia McPherson returned.
Peter Parros as Reginald Cornelius III aka RC3 (Season 4) – Driver of the FLAG mobile unit and occasional sideman for Michael & KITT.
Richard Basehart as Wilton Knight – The creator of FLAG, who dies in the pilot episode. Basehart's voice, however, is heard throughout the series, narrating over the credits.

Spinoffs and sequels
Code of Vengeance
The two-part episode "Mouth of the Snake" served as a backdoor pilot for a 1984 series to be called All That Glitters. Rejected by NBC, the lead character and actor were recycled for a short-lived 1985-1986 series titled Code of Vengeance, revolving around Charles Taylor as Vietnam veteran David Dalton. The Knight Rider episode featured Dalton exhibiting great gymnastics, not unlike The Six Million Dollar Man sans bionics, but when Code of Vengeance aired, Dalton was an ordinary-skilled drifter. It soon fell off the schedules after only two two-hour movies and two one-hour episodes.[3]
Knight Rider 2000
Main article: Knight Rider 2000
Knight Rider 2000 was a 1991 sequel movie featuring Michael Knight and Devon Miles, with KITT being given a new sporty red body (a close copy of the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car, actually a Dodge Stealth with custom body work) as the Knight 4000. It served as a pilot for a would-be new series starring Susan Norman as Shawn McCormick, but it did not sell.
Knight Rider 2010
Knight Rider 2010 is a 1994 movie loosely based on the show. There are so few links to the original show, it may not be considered canon other than for carrying the Knight Rider title. The film was penned by Miami Vice writer John Leekley.
Team Knight Rider
In 1997, Team Knight Rider was introduced as a spinoff. Set sometime in the near future, the show featured a fleet of intelligent vehicles. Michael Knight returned at the end of the final episode of the first season, though he was not played by David Hasselhoff. This was a cliffhanger intended to be explained in the next season. However, the show did not catch on and the second season was not commissioned. Team Knight Rider ran for 22 episodes.
2008 television movie and sequel
Main articles: Knight Rider (2008 film) and Knight Rider (2008 TV series)
On September 26, 2007, NBC announced, that it was creating a two-hour backdoor pilot to air later that season.[4] In the new version, Justin Bruening stars as the estranged son of Michael Knight, Mike Traceur.[5] Deanna Russo plays Traceur's one-time girlfriend and love interest, Sarah Graiman.[5] Bruce Davison co-stars as her father, physicist Charles Graiman, the original designer of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand).[5] Wayne Kasserman co-stars as Mike's roommate and friend.[6] David Hasselhoff also has a cameo as Michael Knight.[5] The new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is portrayed as a Ford Shelby GT 500 KR Mustang.[7]
Supervising producer Dave Andron wrote the pilot script, Doug Liman and Dave Bartis executive produced it.[5] NBC announced on December 13, 2007 that the 2-hour pilot would air on February 17, 2008. Val Kilmer recorded the voice for the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) Mustang, after Will Arnett, who initially won the role, was asked to withdraw by General Motors due to his prior advertising agreements with them.[8] Sydney Tamiia Poitier, the youngest daughter of Sidney Poitier, played FBI agent Carrie Rivai.
After receiving good ratings, NBC announced, that Knight Rider would return as a weekly series beginning in the fall of 2008. The show aired Wednesdays at 8:00pm/7:00pm CT.[9] The series premiered September 24, 2008 on NBC. In November 2008, NBC announced, that the series had been picked up for a complete 22-episode season but that several cast members would be leaving and the story lines revamped after the original 13-episode order.[10] On May 19, 2009, NBC announced that Knight Rider was canceled after one season because of poor ratings.
Film adaptation
In March 2002, Revolution Studios announced a partnership with Mayhem Pictures to create a film adaptation of the TV series. The film would be re-designed to be similar to Revolution's previous project, xXx. Series creator Glen A. Larson was hired to write the first script draft, with the series' lead actor David Hasselhoff attached to advise the project and also have an onscreen role.[11] In April 2003, Revolution Studios hired screenwriters David Elliott and Paul Lovett to pen the film's script.[12] In April 2004, the premise of the film was described as having Hasselhoff reprise his role as Michael Knight, though he would be an elder statesman, who would serve as a mentor to the protagonist in the same way that Devon Miles mentored Knight in the TV series. The protagonist would be Knight's son, inheriting the family business and driving the vehicle KITT. The producers' choice for the role was actor Ben Affleck.[13] The series' voice of KITT, William Daniels, was being sought by Hasselhoff to reprise his role, as well as Peter Cullen for the voice of KARR.[citation needed]
In May 2006, The Weinstein Company acquired film rights to adapt Knight Rider from series creator Larson. He expressed his interest in the film adaptation as a potential franchise property.[14] The following September, Hasselhoff invited actor Orlando Bloom to portray Knight's son in the film adaptation, but Bloom turned down the offer.[15] In April 2007, Hasselhoff said, that the film was in development at Miramax, and that he would at least have a cameo in the film.[16]
In September 2007, Glen A. Larson appeared in a personal video for Knightcon 07 in the UK. This marked Larson's first public video appearance, in which he addressed the fans directly and presented visual confirmation of a script for a proposed Knight Rider motion picture. Since this initial appearance, plans have been underway at The Weinstein Company to bring Knight Rider to the big screen as an updated take on the original series pilot, "Knight of the Phoenix". Larson's motion picture plans have no connection to the 2008 TV series by NBC.[citation needed]

Knight Rider in popular culture
On July 8, 2008, GPS manufacturer Mio Technology announced the release of a Knight Rider-themed GPS unit for a price of $270. The unit has the original Knight Rider logo printed above the display and features the voice of William Daniels.[19]
Toys, games and vehicles
Kenner's Knight 2000 Voice Car with Michael Knight action figure
Hitari 1/15 Knight Rider KITT remote control car
Diamond Select Toys Electronic 1/15 Knight Rider KITT
Various toy versions of KITT were released and produced solid profits. Among the more notable of the Knight Rider memorabilia includes the remote controlled KITT, the Knight Rider lunch box, and the deluxe version of KITT. This final model, sold by Kenner Toys and dubbed the "Knight Rider Voice Car", spoke electronically (actual voice of William Daniels), featured a detailed interior and a Michael Knight action figure as well.[20]
In the 1980s there was a Knight Rider toy vehicle for Germany's Darda system.[21]
Knight Rider: The Game was produced by Davilex International under license. Players could drive KITT through 15 missions and meeting characters from the show like Devon, Bonnie, KARR and Garthe Knight.[22] Davilex also released a sequel in late 2004.[23]
As with many popular series of the era (including The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team etc.), ERTL released die-cast toys of KITT in three different sizes — the common miniature sized model, a 'medium' sized model, and a large sized model. These toys featured red reflective holograms on the nose to represent the scanner (however, they were located on the point of the nose, rather like the early mock-up of KITT seen in the Pilot) as opposed to altering the basic model design to incorporate the scanner as commonly seen in the series. The toys also included round steering wheels as opposed to KITT's customized one. Also in late 2004, 1/18 scale die-cast models of KITT and KARR were produced from ERTL complete with detailed interior and light up moving scanner just like in the series.[24]
In September 2006, Hitari, a UK based company that produces remote control toy cars, released the Knight Rider KITT remote control car in 1/15 scale complete with the working red scanner lights, KITT's voice from the TV show and the car's turbine engine sound with the "whoosh whoosh" scanner sound effect.[25][26]
In December 2012, Diamond Select Toys released a talking electronic 1/15 scale KITT which features a light up dashboard, scanner, foglights and tail lights along with the original voice of KITT, William Daniels, all at a push of a button. An Entertainment Earth exclusive version of that Diamond Select Toys 1/15 KITT, exclusive as it will include an in scale figure of Michael Knight to go with the car, is due for release in February of 2013 and is available exclusively at Entertainment Earth's website. Diamond Select Toys will also be releasing an 8-inch figure of Michael Knight with the likeness of David Hasselhoff which will be released in March of 2013.[27] [28] [29]
Music

The series had a strong musical connection, the theme tune has been sampled and remixed a number of times, and episodes featured popular music tracks as well as original compositions.

Busta Rhymes: Turn It Up (Remix)/Fire It Up

Moreover, alternative metal band System of a Down used a part of the theme in their song "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" from the album Steal This Album!.
In addition, Film Score Monthly released a limited-edition disc of music from the series in 2005, featuring Glen A. Larson and Stu Phillips's theme and cues from Phillips's scores for "Knight of the Phoenix" (the pilot), "Not a Drop to Drink", "Trust Doesn't Rust", "Forget Me Not" and "Inside Out". The album finishes with Phillips's music for the Glen Larson Productions logo.
The Knight Rider theme was most recently featured as Ted's ringtone in John's phone in the 2012 comedy film Ted.[30]

A series of annuals were published each year in the UK by Grandreams. These books consisted of a mix of text stories and cartoon strips, as well as photos and articles on the shows stars and KITT. There were five annuals produced in total, each reflecting the different season of the show, that was airing at the time, with the final two releases covering the final season. (The last annual was printed in a quite small quantity, due to popularity of the show gradually fading, and is considerably rarer as a result).

Knight Rider is an American television series, that originally ran from September 26, 1982, to August 8, 1986. The series was broadcast on NBC and stars David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a high-tech modern day knight fighting crime with the help of an advanced, artificially intelligent and nearly indestructible car.
Conceived and produced by Glen A. Larson, the show was an instant hit. "I wanted to do The Lone Ranger with a car", and "Kind of a sci-fi thing, with the soul of a western", Larson said in The Last Great Ride.

Plot
Self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police detective Michael Arthur Long after a near fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (via plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. Wilton selects Michael to be the primary field agent in the pilot program of his Knight Industries-funded public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). The other half of this pilot program is the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), a heavily modified Pontiac Trans Am with numerous features including an extremely durable shell and frame, controlled by a computer with artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT are brought in during situations where "direct action might provide the only feasible solution".
Heading FLAG is Devon Miles, who provides Michael with directives and guidance. Dr. Bonnie Barstow is the chief engineer in charge of KITT's care, as well as technical assistant to Devon (April Curtis fills this role in Season 2).
Production
The car used as KITT in the series was a customized 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am sports model, that cost US$100,000 to build.[1]
Cast and characters
David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight (born Michael Arthur Long) – An undercover Las Vegas police detective who, while on a case, is shot in the face and nearly killed. Wilton Knight, creator of FLAG, directs his doctors to save Long's life and reconstruct his face. With his new identity, "Michael Knight", Long is provided with high tech crime-fighting equipment, most notably the car nicknamed KITT. David Hasselhoff also played the villainous Garthe Knight, Wilton's estranged son, who has become a criminal.
William Daniels as the voice of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) – The autonomous, artifical intelligent car, with whom Michael Knight is partnered. Daniels, who simultaneously also starred on St. Elsewhere, requested to not be credited for his role as KITT's voice.
Edward Mulhare as Devon Miles – The leader of FLAG, who appeared in nearly every episode to provide mission details to Knight and KITT. He was also the spokesman for FLAG whenever it came under scrutiny.
Patricia McPherson as Dr. Bonnie Barstow (Seasons 1, 3-4) – KITT's chief technician and as romantic tension for Michael. The character was dropped after the first season, but due to strong fan reaction and lobbying by Hasselhoff and Mulhare, she was returned for the third season and remained through the end of the series.[2]
Rebecca Holden as April Curtis (Season 2) – Chief technician for KITT. The character was written out, when Patricia McPherson returned.
Peter Parros as Reginald Cornelius III aka RC3 (Season 4) – Driver of the FLAG mobile unit and occasional sideman for Michael & KITT.
Richard Basehart as Wilton Knight – The creator of FLAG, who dies in the pilot episode. Basehart's voice, however, is heard throughout the series, narrating over the credits.

Spinoffs and sequels
Code of Vengeance
The two-part episode "Mouth of the Snake" served as a backdoor pilot for a 1984 series to be called All That Glitters. Rejected by NBC, the lead character and actor were recycled for a short-lived 1985-1986 series titled Code of Vengeance, revolving around Charles Taylor as Vietnam veteran David Dalton. The Knight Rider episode featured Dalton exhibiting great gymnastics, not unlike The Six Million Dollar Man sans bionics, but when Code of Vengeance aired, Dalton was an ordinary-skilled drifter. It soon fell off the schedules after only two two-hour movies and two one-hour episodes.[3]
Knight Rider 2000
Main article: Knight Rider 2000
Knight Rider 2000 was a 1991 sequel movie featuring Michael Knight and Devon Miles, with KITT being given a new sporty red body (a close copy of the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car, actually a Dodge Stealth with custom body work) as the Knight 4000. It served as a pilot for a would-be new series starring Susan Norman as Shawn McCormick, but it did not sell.
Knight Rider 2010
Knight Rider 2010 is a 1994 movie loosely based on the show. There are so few links to the original show, it may not be considered canon other than for carrying the Knight Rider title. The film was penned by Miami Vice writer John Leekley.
Team Knight Rider
In 1997, Team Knight Rider was introduced as a spinoff. Set sometime in the near future, the show featured a fleet of intelligent vehicles. Michael Knight returned at the end of the final episode of the first season, though he was not played by David Hasselhoff. This was a cliffhanger intended to be explained in the next season. However, the show did not catch on and the second season was not commissioned. Team Knight Rider ran for 22 episodes.
2008 television movie and sequel
Main articles: Knight Rider (2008 film) and Knight Rider (2008 TV series)
On September 26, 2007, NBC announced, that it was creating a two-hour backdoor pilot to air later that season.[4] In the new version, Justin Bruening stars as the estranged son of Michael Knight, Mike Traceur.[5] Deanna Russo plays Traceur's one-time girlfriend and love interest, Sarah Graiman.[5] Bruce Davison co-stars as her father, physicist Charles Graiman, the original designer of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand).[5] Wayne Kasserman co-stars as Mike's roommate and friend.[6] David Hasselhoff also has a cameo as Michael Knight.[5] The new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is portrayed as a Ford Shelby GT 500 KR Mustang.[7]
Supervising producer Dave Andron wrote the pilot script, Doug Liman and Dave Bartis executive produced it.[5] NBC announced on December 13, 2007 that the 2-hour pilot would air on February 17, 2008. Val Kilmer recorded the voice for the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) Mustang, after Will Arnett, who initially won the role, was asked to withdraw by General Motors due to his prior advertising agreements with them.[8] Sydney Tamiia Poitier, the youngest daughter of Sidney Poitier, played FBI agent Carrie Rivai.
After receiving good ratings, NBC announced, that Knight Rider would return as a weekly series beginning in the fall of 2008. The show aired Wednesdays at 8:00pm/7:00pm CT.[9] The series premiered September 24, 2008 on NBC. In November 2008, NBC announced, that the series had been picked up for a complete 22-episode season but that several cast members would be leaving and the story lines revamped after the original 13-episode order.[10] On May 19, 2009, NBC announced that Knight Rider was canceled after one season because of poor ratings.
Film adaptation
In March 2002, Revolution Studios announced a partnership with Mayhem Pictures to create a film adaptation of the TV series. The film would be re-designed to be similar to Revolution's previous project, xXx. Series creator Glen A. Larson was hired to write the first script draft, with the series' lead actor David Hasselhoff attached to advise the project and also have an onscreen role.[11] In April 2003, Revolution Studios hired screenwriters David Elliott and Paul Lovett to pen the film's script.[12] In April 2004, the premise of the film was described as having Hasselhoff reprise his role as Michael Knight, though he would be an elder statesman, who would serve as a mentor to the protagonist in the same way that Devon Miles mentored Knight in the TV series. The protagonist would be Knight's son, inheriting the family business and driving the vehicle KITT. The producers' choice for the role was actor Ben Affleck.[13] The series' voice of KITT, William Daniels, was being sought by Hasselhoff to reprise his role, as well as Peter Cullen for the voice of KARR.[citation needed]
In May 2006, The Weinstein Company acquired film rights to adapt Knight Rider from series creator Larson. He expressed his interest in the film adaptation as a potential franchise property.[14] The following September, Hasselhoff invited actor Orlando Bloom to portray Knight's son in the film adaptation, but Bloom turned down the offer.[15] In April 2007, Hasselhoff said, that the film was in development at Miramax, and that he would at least have a cameo in the film.[16]
In September 2007, Glen A. Larson appeared in a personal video for Knightcon 07 in the UK. This marked Larson's first public video appearance, in which he addressed the fans directly and presented visual confirmation of a script for a proposed Knight Rider motion picture. Since this initial appearance, plans have been underway at The Weinstein Company to bring Knight Rider to the big screen as an updated take on the original series pilot, "Knight of the Phoenix". Larson's motion picture plans have no connection to the 2008 TV series by NBC.[citation needed]

Knight Rider in popular culture
On July 8, 2008, GPS manufacturer Mio Technology announced the release of a Knight Rider-themed GPS unit for a price of $270. The unit has the original Knight Rider logo printed above the display and features the voice of William Daniels.[19]
Toys, games and vehicles
Kenner's Knight 2000 Voice Car with Michael Knight action figure
Hitari 1/15 Knight Rider KITT remote control car
Diamond Select Toys Electronic 1/15 Knight Rider KITT
Various toy versions of KITT were released and produced solid profits. Among the more notable of the Knight Rider memorabilia includes the remote controlled KITT, the Knight Rider lunch box, and the deluxe version of KITT. This final model, sold by Kenner Toys and dubbed the "Knight Rider Voice Car", spoke electronically (actual voice of William Daniels), featured a detailed interior and a Michael Knight action figure as well.[20]
In the 1980s there was a Knight Rider toy vehicle for Germany's Darda system.[21]
Knight Rider: The Game was produced by Davilex International under license. Players could drive KITT through 15 missions and meeting characters from the show like Devon, Bonnie, KARR and Garthe Knight.[22] Davilex also released a sequel in late 2004.[23]
As with many popular series of the era (including The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team etc.), ERTL released die-cast toys of KITT in three different sizes — the common miniature sized model, a 'medium' sized model, and a large sized model. These toys featured red reflective holograms on the nose to represent the scanner (however, they were located on the point of the nose, rather like the early mock-up of KITT seen in the Pilot) as opposed to altering the basic model design to incorporate the scanner as commonly seen in the series. The toys also included round steering wheels as opposed to KITT's customized one. Also in late 2004, 1/18 scale die-cast models of KITT and KARR were produced from ERTL complete with detailed interior and light up moving scanner just like in the series.[24]
In September 2006, Hitari, a UK based company that produces remote control toy cars, released the Knight Rider KITT remote control car in 1/15 scale complete with the working red scanner lights, KITT's voice from the TV show and the car's turbine engine sound with the "whoosh whoosh" scanner sound effect.[25][26]
In December 2012, Diamond Select Toys released a talking electronic 1/15 scale KITT which features a light up dashboard, scanner, foglights and tail lights along with the original voice of KITT, William Daniels, all at a push of a button. An Entertainment Earth exclusive version of that Diamond Select Toys 1/15 KITT, exclusive as it will include an in scale figure of Michael Knight to go with the car, is due for release in February of 2013 and is available exclusively at Entertainment Earth's website. Diamond Select Toys will also be releasing an 8-inch figure of Michael Knight with the likeness of David Hasselhoff which will be released in March of 2013.[27] [28] [29]
Music

The series had a strong musical connection, the theme tune has been sampled and remixed a number of times, and episodes featured popular music tracks as well as original compositions.
Punjabi MC: Mundian To Bach Ke and also on a remix featuring Jay-Z called Beware of the Boys
Busta Rhymes: Turn It Up (Remix)/Fire It Up
Timbaland & Magoo ft Mad Skillz: Clock Strikes
Lil' Kim How Many Licks?
Mobb Deep Click Click
So Solid Crew Ride Wid Us
Moreover, alternative metal band System of a Down used a part of the theme in their song "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" from the album Steal This Album!.
In addition, Film Score Monthly released a limited-edition disc of music from the series in 2005, featuring Glen A. Larson and Stu Phillips's theme and cues from Phillips's scores for "Knight of the Phoenix" (the pilot), "Not a Drop to Drink", "Trust Doesn't Rust", "Forget Me Not" and "Inside Out". The album finishes with Phillips's music for the Glen Larson Productions logo.
The Knight Rider theme was most recently featured as Ted's ringtone in John's phone in the 2012 comedy film Ted.[30]

A series of annuals were published each year in the UK by Grandreams. These books consisted of a mix of text stories and cartoon strips, as well as photos and articles on the shows stars and KITT. There were five annuals produced in total, each reflecting the different season of the show, that was airing at the time, with the final two releases covering the final season. (The last annual was printed in a quite small quantity, due to popularity of the show gradually fading, and is considerably rarer as a result).

Plot
Self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police detective Michael Arthur Long after a near fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (via plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. Wilton selects Michael to be the primary field agent in the pilot program of his Knight Industries-funded public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). The other half of this pilot program is the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), a heavily modified Pontiac Trans Am with numerous features including an extremely durable shell and frame, controlled by a computer with artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT are brought in during situations where "direct action might provide the only feasible solution".
Heading FLAG is Devon Miles, who provides Michael with directives and guidance. Dr. Bonnie Barstow is the chief engineer in charge of KITT's care, as well as technical assistant to Devon (April Curtis fills this role in Season 2).
Production
The car used as KITT in the series was a customized 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am sports model, that cost US$100,000 to build.[1]
Cast and characters
David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight (born Michael Arthur Long) – An undercover Las Vegas police detective who, while on a case, is shot in the face and nearly killed. Wilton Knight, creator of FLAG, directs his doctors to save Long's life and reconstruct his face. With his new identity, "Michael Knight", Long is provided with high tech crime-fighting equipment, most notably the car nicknamed KITT. David Hasselhoff also played the villainous Garthe Knight, Wilton's estranged son, who has become a criminal.
William Daniels as the voice of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) – The autonomous, artifical intelligent car, with whom Michael Knight is partnered. Daniels, who simultaneously also starred on St. Elsewhere, requested to not be credited for his role as KITT's voice.
Edward Mulhare as Devon Miles – The leader of FLAG, who appeared in nearly every episode to provide mission details to Knight and KITT. He was also the spokesman for FLAG whenever it came under scrutiny.
Patricia McPherson as Dr. Bonnie Barstow (Seasons 1, 3-4) – KITT's chief technician and as romantic tension for Michael. The character was dropped after the first season, but due to strong fan reaction and lobbying by Hasselhoff and Mulhare, she was returned for the third season and remained through the end of the series.[2]
Rebecca Holden as April Curtis (Season 2) – Chief technician for KITT. The character was written out, when Patricia McPherson returned.
Peter Parros as Reginald Cornelius III aka RC3 (Season 4) – Driver of the FLAG mobile unit and occasional sideman for Michael & KITT.
Richard Basehart as Wilton Knight – The creator of FLAG, who dies in the pilot episode. Basehart's voice, however, is heard throughout the series, narrating over the credits.

Spinoffs and sequels
Code of Vengeance
The two-part episode "Mouth of the Snake" served as a backdoor pilot for a 1984 series to be called All That Glitters. Rejected by NBC, the lead character and actor were recycled for a short-lived 1985-1986 series titled Code of Vengeance, revolving around Charles Taylor as Vietnam veteran David Dalton. The Knight Rider episode featured Dalton exhibiting great gymnastics, not unlike The Six Million Dollar Man sans bionics, but when Code of Vengeance aired, Dalton was an ordinary-skilled drifter. It soon fell off the schedules after only two two-hour movies and two one-hour episodes.[3]
Knight Rider 2000
Main article: Knight Rider 2000
Knight Rider 2000 was a 1991 sequel movie featuring Michael Knight and Devon Miles, with KITT being given a new sporty red body (a close copy of the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car, actually a Dodge Stealth with custom body work) as the Knight 4000. It served as a pilot for a would-be new series starring Susan Norman as Shawn McCormick, but it did not sell.
Knight Rider 2010
Knight Rider 2010 is a 1994 movie loosely based on the show. There are so few links to the original show, it may not be considered canon other than for carrying the Knight Rider title. The film was penned by Miami Vice writer John Leekley.
Team Knight Rider
In 1997, Team Knight Rider was introduced as a spinoff. Set sometime in the near future, the show featured a fleet of intelligent vehicles. Michael Knight returned at the end of the final episode of the first season, though he was not played by David Hasselhoff. This was a cliffhanger intended to be explained in the next season. However, the show did not catch on and the second season was not commissioned. Team Knight Rider ran for 22 episodes.
2008 television movie and sequel
Main articles: Knight Rider (2008 film) and Knight Rider (2008 TV series)
On September 26, 2007, NBC announced, that it was creating a two-hour backdoor pilot to air later that season.[4] In the new version, Justin Bruening stars as the estranged son of Michael Knight, Mike Traceur.[5] Deanna Russo plays Traceur's one-time girlfriend and love interest, Sarah Graiman.[5] Bruce Davison co-stars as her father, physicist Charles Graiman, the original designer of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand).[5] Wayne Kasserman co-stars as Mike's roommate and friend.[6] David Hasselhoff also has a cameo as Michael Knight.[5] The new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is portrayed as a Ford Shelby GT 500 KR Mustang.[7]
Supervising producer Dave Andron wrote the pilot script, Doug Liman and Dave Bartis executive produced it.[5] NBC announced on December 13, 2007 that the 2-hour pilot would air on February 17, 2008. Val Kilmer recorded the voice for the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) Mustang, after Will Arnett, who initially won the role, was asked to withdraw by General Motors due to his prior advertising agreements with them.[8] Sydney Tamiia Poitier, the youngest daughter of Sidney Poitier, played FBI agent Carrie Rivai.
After receiving good ratings, NBC announced, that Knight Rider would return as a weekly series beginning in the fall of 2008. The show aired Wednesdays at 8:00pm/7:00pm CT.[9] The series premiered September 24, 2008 on NBC. In November 2008, NBC announced, that the series had been picked up for a complete 22-episode season but that several cast members would be leaving and the story lines revamped after the original 13-episode order.[10] On May 19, 2009, NBC announced that Knight Rider was canceled after one season because of poor ratings.
Film adaptation
In March 2002, Revolution Studios announced a partnership with Mayhem Pictures to create a film adaptation of the TV series. The film would be re-designed to be similar to Revolution's previous project, xXx. Series creator Glen A. Larson was hired to write the first script draft, with the series' lead actor David Hasselhoff attached to advise the project and also have an onscreen role.[11] In April 2003, Revolution Studios hired screenwriters David Elliott and Paul Lovett to pen the film's script.[12] In April 2004, the premise of the film was described as having Hasselhoff reprise his role as Michael Knight, though he would be an elder statesman, who would serve as a mentor to the protagonist in the same way that Devon Miles mentored Knight in the TV series. The protagonist would be Knight's son, inheriting the family business and driving the vehicle KITT. The producers' choice for the role was actor Ben Affleck.[13] The series' voice of KITT, William Daniels, was being sought by Hasselhoff to reprise his role, as well as Peter Cullen for the voice of KARR.[citation needed]
In May 2006, The Weinstein Company acquired film rights to adapt Knight Rider from series creator Larson. He expressed his interest in the film adaptation as a potential franchise property.[14] The following September, Hasselhoff invited actor Orlando Bloom to portray Knight's son in the film adaptation, but Bloom turned down the offer.[15] In April 2007, Hasselhoff said, that the film was in development at Miramax, and that he would at least have a cameo in the film.[16]
In September 2007, Glen A. Larson appeared in a personal video for Knightcon 07 in the UK. This marked Larson's first public video appearance, in which he addressed the fans directly and presented visual confirmation of a script for a proposed Knight Rider motion picture. Since this initial appearance, plans have been underway at The Weinstein Company to bring Knight Rider to the big screen as an updated take on the original series pilot, "Knight of the Phoenix". Larson's motion picture plans have no connection to the 2008 TV series by NBC.[citation needed]

Knight Rider in popular culture
On July 8, 2008, GPS manufacturer Mio Technology announced the release of a Knight Rider-themed GPS unit for a price of $270. The unit has the original Knight Rider logo printed above the display and features the voice of William Daniels.[19]
Toys, games and vehicles
Kenner's Knight 2000 Voice Car with Michael Knight action figure
Hitari 1/15 Knight Rider KITT remote control car
Diamond Select Toys Electronic 1/15 Knight Rider KITT
Various toy versions of KITT were released and produced solid profits. Among the more notable of the Knight Rider memorabilia includes the remote controlled KITT, the Knight Rider lunch box, and the deluxe version of KITT. This final model, sold by Kenner Toys and dubbed the "Knight Rider Voice Car", spoke electronically (actual voice of William Daniels), featured a detailed interior and a Michael Knight action figure as well.[20]
In the 1980s there was a Knight Rider toy vehicle for Germany's Darda system.[21]
Knight Rider: The Game was produced by Davilex International under license. Players could drive KITT through 15 missions and meeting characters from the show like Devon, Bonnie, KARR and Garthe Knight.[22] Davilex also released a sequel in late 2004.[23]
As with many popular series of the era (including The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team etc.), ERTL released die-cast toys of KITT in three different sizes — the common miniature sized model, a 'medium' sized model, and a large sized model. These toys featured red reflective holograms on the nose to represent the scanner (however, they were located on the point of the nose, rather like the early mock-up of KITT seen in the Pilot) as opposed to altering the basic model design to incorporate the scanner as commonly seen in the series. The toys also included round steering wheels as opposed to KITT's customized one. Also in late 2004, 1/18 scale die-cast models of KITT and KARR were produced from ERTL complete with detailed interior and light up moving scanner just like in the series.[24]
In September 2006, Hitari, a UK based company that produces remote control toy cars, released the Knight Rider KITT remote control car in 1/15 scale complete with the working red scanner lights, KITT's voice from the TV show and the car's turbine engine sound with the "whoosh whoosh" scanner sound effect.[25][26]
In December 2012, Diamond Select Toys released a talking electronic 1/15 scale KITT which features a light up dashboard, scanner, foglights and tail lights along with the original voice of KITT, William Daniels, all at a push of a button. An Entertainment Earth exclusive version of that Diamond Select Toys 1/15 KITT, exclusive as it will include an in scale figure of Michael Knight to go with the car, is due for release in February of 2013 and is available exclusively at Entertainment Earth's website. Diamond Select Toys will also be releasing an 8-inch figure of Michael Knight with the likeness of David Hasselhoff which will be released in March of 2013.[27] [28] [29]
Music

The series had a strong musical connection, the theme tune has been sampled and remixed a number of times, and episodes featured popular music tracks as well as original compositions.
Punjabi MC: Mundian To Bach Ke and also on a remix featuring Jay-Z called Beware of the Boys
Busta Rhymes: Turn It Up (Remix)/Fire It Up
Timbaland & Magoo ft Mad Skillz: Clock Strikes

Moreover, alternative metal band System of a Down used a part of the theme in their song "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" from the album Steal This Album!.
In addition, Film Score Monthly released a limited-edition disc of music from the series in 2005, featuring Glen A. Larson and Stu Phillips's theme and cues from Phillips's scores for "Knight of the Phoenix" (the pilot), "Not a Drop to Drink", "Trust Doesn't Rust", "Forget Me Not" and "Inside Out". The album finishes with Phillips's music for the Glen Larson Productions logo.
The Knight Rider theme was most recently featured as Ted's ringtone in John's phone in the 2012 comedy film Ted.[30]

A series of annuals were published each year in the UK by Grandreams. These books consisted of a mix of text stories and cartoon strips, as well as photos and articles on the shows stars and KITT. There were five annuals produced in total, each reflecting the different season of the show, that was airing at the time, with the final two releases covering the final season. (The last annual was printed in a quite small quantity, due to popularity of the show gradually fading, and is considerably rarer as a result).

Mathew Thomas Read here if you want to know the method. Stop now if you don't want to be spoiled.

@2:30, pause the video. Look at the bottom row of tiles on the backdrop, just to the right of the camera box. Notice that they are uneven! And not only that, but the moment David steps backward, pause it and see how there is stark contrast in the tile brightness between the upper portion and the lower segment.

Now, look up at the design on the wall. Notice how the backdrop has vertical symmetry? Follow the line of symmetry down. See how the two second-row center tiles are off? There's a black bar "magically" missing. Later @3:26 it's "magically" reappeared! Well, surprise surprise, that's no coincidence.

Some other guy who comments on a bunch of David Copperfield's videos clued me in on the secret. Bill Page (nothing against him) seems to leave lots of weird, unintelligible replies. Oh well. But one thing he mentioned was a "mirror tunnel," a tunnel that's covered with mirrors to reflect the backdrop of a stage. The backdrop must be uniform for it to work, like the backdrop of tiles in this video. The "mirror tunnel" is a thing, it actually exists, and it is used by stage illusionists.

So, what's the coincidence? It's the mirror tunnel. It's employed in some stage illusions, particularly in one called "The Million Dollar Mystery." Also, Copperfield used it in "Big Black Box," performed on this exact same stage. The video of that is uploaded elsewhere on Youtube if you care to take a look at it. The mirror tunnel is generally used in tricks where a small box is shown to be empty. Then lots of people, even an animal or two, who could not have possibly fit inside, come out of the box.

Anyhow, back to the trick. The mirror tunnel, as you might guess, is used to conceal the fact that the camera is wheeled backstage, behind the backdrop.

Alright, we've established the mirror tunnel. What about the camera? Well, @2:30 pay close attention to how David removes the front cover. The small video shows his right hand well lit up, even though his head is directly in front of the camera. What's going on? The light on the right side has a built in camera! For further proof, check @3:38 and notice how David readjusts his position by stepping to his right. That's so he'll be in front of the camera.

And that, my friends, is not how you do a camera trick. Oh no, that's how you do a trick with a camera!

Knight Rider is an American television series, that originally ran from September 26, 1982, to August 8, 1986. The series was broadcast on NBC and stars David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a high-tech modern day knight fighting crime with the help of an advanced, artificially intelligent and nearly indestructible car.
Conceived and produced by Glen A. Larson, the show was an instant hit. "I wanted to do The Lone Ranger with a car", and "Kind of a sci-fi thing, with the soul of a western", Larson said in The Last Great Ride.

Plot
Self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police detective Michael Arthur Long after a near fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (via plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. Wilton selects Michael to be the primary field agent in the pilot program of his Knight Industries-funded public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). The other half of this pilot program is the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), a heavily modified Pontiac Trans Am with numerous features including an extremely durable shell and frame, controlled by a computer with artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT are brought in during situations where "direct action might provide the only feasible solution".
Heading FLAG is Devon Miles, who provides Michael with directives and guidance. Dr. Bonnie Barstow is the chief engineer in charge of KITT's care, as well as technical assistant to Devon (April Curtis fills this role in Season 2).
Production
The car used as KITT in the series was a customized 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am sports model, that cost US$100,000 to build.[1]
Cast and characters
David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight (born Michael Arthur Long) – An undercover Las Vegas police detective who, while on a case, is shot in the face and nearly killed. Wilton Knight, creator of FLAG, directs his doctors to save Long's life and reconstruct his face. With his new identity, "Michael Knight", Long is provided with high tech crime-fighting equipment, most notably the car nicknamed KITT. David Hasselhoff also played the villainous Garthe Knight, Wilton's estranged son, who has become a criminal.
William Daniels as the voice of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) – The autonomous, artifical intelligent car, with whom Michael Knight is partnered. Daniels, who simultaneously also starred on St. Elsewhere, requested to not be credited for his role as KITT's voice.
Edward Mulhare as Devon Miles – The leader of FLAG, who appeared in nearly every episode to provide mission details to Knight and KITT. He was also the spokesman for FLAG whenever it came under scrutiny.
Patricia McPherson as Dr. Bonnie Barstow (Seasons 1, 3-4) – KITT's chief technician and as romantic tension for Michael. The character was dropped after the first season, but due to strong fan reaction and lobbying by Hasselhoff and Mulhare, she was returned for the third season and remained through the end of the series.[2]
Rebecca Holden as April Curtis (Season 2) – Chief technician for KITT. The character was written out, when Patricia McPherson returned.
Peter Parros as Reginald Cornelius III aka RC3 (Season 4) – Driver of the FLAG mobile unit and occasional sideman for Michael & KITT.
Richard Basehart as Wilton Knight – The creator of FLAG, who dies in the pilot episode. Basehart's voice, however, is heard throughout the series, narrating over the credits.

Spinoffs and sequels
Code of Vengeance
The two-part episode "Mouth of the Snake" served as a backdoor pilot for a 1984 series to be called All That Glitters. Rejected by NBC, the lead character and actor were recycled for a short-lived 1985-1986 series titled Code of Vengeance, revolving around Charles Taylor as Vietnam veteran David Dalton. The Knight Rider episode featured Dalton exhibiting great gymnastics, not unlike The Six Million Dollar Man sans bionics, but when Code of Vengeance aired, Dalton was an ordinary-skilled drifter. It soon fell off the schedules after only two two-hour movies and two one-hour episodes.[3]
Knight Rider 2000
Main article: Knight Rider 2000
Knight Rider 2000 was a 1991 sequel movie featuring Michael Knight and Devon Miles, with KITT being given a new sporty red body (a close copy of the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car, actually a Dodge Stealth with custom body work) as the Knight 4000. It served as a pilot for a would-be new series starring Susan Norman as Shawn McCormick, but it did not sell.
Knight Rider 2010
Knight Rider 2010 is a 1994 movie loosely based on the show. There are so few links to the original show, it may not be considered canon other than for carrying the Knight Rider title. The film was penned by Miami Vice writer John Leekley.
Team Knight Rider
In 1997, Team Knight Rider was introduced as a spinoff. Set sometime in the near future, the show featured a fleet of intelligent vehicles. Michael Knight returned at the end of the final episode of the first season, though he was not played by David Hasselhoff. This was a cliffhanger intended to be explained in the next season. However, the show did not catch on and the second season was not commissioned. Team Knight Rider ran for 22 episodes.
2008 television movie and sequel
Main articles: Knight Rider (2008 film) and Knight Rider (2008 TV series)
On September 26, 2007, NBC announced, that it was creating a two-hour backdoor pilot to air later that season.[4] In the new version, Justin Bruening stars as the estranged son of Michael Knight, Mike Traceur.[5] Deanna Russo plays Traceur's one-time girlfriend and love interest, Sarah Graiman.[5] Bruce Davison co-stars as her father, physicist Charles Graiman, the original designer of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand).[5] Wayne Kasserman co-stars as Mike's roommate and friend.[6] David Hasselhoff also has a cameo as Michael Knight.[5] The new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is portrayed as a Ford Shelby GT 500 KR Mustang.[7]
Supervising producer Dave Andron wrote the pilot script, Doug Liman and Dave Bartis executive produced it.[5] NBC announced on December 13, 2007 that the 2-hour pilot would air on February 17, 2008. Val Kilmer recorded the voice for the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) Mustang, after Will Arnett, who initially won the role, was asked to withdraw by General Motors due to his prior advertising agreements with them.[8] Sydney Tamiia Poitier, the youngest daughter of Sidney Poitier, played FBI agent Carrie Rivai.
After receiving good ratings, NBC announced, that Knight Rider would return as a weekly series beginning in the fall of 2008. The show aired Wednesdays at 8:00pm/7:00pm CT.[9] The series premiered September 24, 2008 on NBC. In November 2008, NBC announced, that the series had been picked up for a complete 22-episode season but that several cast members would be leaving and the story lines revamped after the original 13-episode order.[10] On May 19, 2009, NBC announced that Knight Rider was canceled after one season because of poor ratings.
Film adaptation
In March 2002, Revolution Studios announced a partnership with Mayhem Pictures to create a film adaptation of the TV series. The film would be re-designed to be similar to Revolution's previous project, xXx. Series creator Glen A. Larson was hired to write the first script draft, with the series' lead actor David Hasselhoff attached to advise the project and also have an onscreen role.[11] In April 2003, Revolution Studios hired screenwriters David Elliott and Paul Lovett to pen the film's script.[12] In April 2004, the premise of the film was described as having Hasselhoff reprise his role as Michael Knight, though he would be an elder statesman, who would serve as a mentor to the protagonist in the same way that Devon Miles mentored Knight in the TV series. The protagonist would be Knight's son, inheriting the family business and driving the vehicle KITT. The producers' choice for the role was actor Ben Affleck.[13] The series' voice of KITT, William Daniels, was being sought by Hasselhoff to reprise his role, as well as Peter Cullen for the voice of KARR.[citation needed]
In May 2006, The Weinstein Company acquired film rights to adapt Knight Rider from series creator Larson. He expressed his interest in the film adaptation as a potential franchise property.[14] The following September, Hasselhoff invited actor Orlando Bloom to portray Knight's son in the film adaptation, but Bloom turned down the offer.[15] In April 2007, Hasselhoff said, that the film was in development at Miramax, and that he would at least have a cameo in the film.[16]
In September 2007, Glen A. Larson appeared in a personal video for Knightcon 07 in the UK. This marked Larson's first public video appearance, in which he addressed the fans directly and presented visual confirmation of a script for a proposed Knight Rider motion picture. Since this initial appearance, plans have been underway at The Weinstein Company to bring Knight Rider to the big screen as an updated take on the original series pilot, "Knight of the Phoenix". Larson's motion picture plans have no connection to the 2008 TV series by NBC.[citation needed]

Knight Rider in popular culture
On July 8, 2008, GPS manufacturer Mio Technology announced the release of a Knight Rider-themed GPS unit for a price of $270. The unit has the original Knight Rider logo printed above the display and features the voice of William Daniels.[19]
Toys, games and vehicles
Kenner's Knight 2000 Voice Car with Michael Knight action figure
Hitari 1/15 Knight Rider KITT remote control car
Diamond Select Toys Electronic 1/15 Knight Rider KITT
Various toy versions of KITT were released and produced solid profits. Among the more notable of the Knight Rider memorabilia includes the remote controlled KITT, the Knight Rider lunch box, and the deluxe version of KITT. This final model, sold by Kenner Toys and dubbed the "Knight Rider Voice Car", spoke electronically (actual voice of William Daniels), featured a detailed interior and a Michael Knight action figure as well.[20]
In the 1980s there was a Knight Rider toy vehicle for Germany's Darda system.[21]
Knight Rider: The Game was produced by Davilex International under license. Players could drive KITT through 15 missions and meeting characters from the show like Devon, Bonnie, KARR and Garthe Knight.[22] Davilex also released a sequel in late 2004.[23]
As with many popular series of the era (including The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team etc.), ERTL released die-cast toys of KITT in three different sizes — the common miniature sized model, a 'medium' sized model, and a large sized model. These toys featured red reflective holograms on the nose to represent the scanner (however, they were located on the point of the nose, rather like the early mock-up of KITT seen in the Pilot) as opposed to altering the basic model design to incorporate the scanner as commonly seen in the series. The toys also included round steering wheels as opposed to KITT's customized one. Also in late 2004, 1/18 scale die-cast models of KITT and KARR were produced from ERTL complete with detailed interior and light up moving scanner just like in the series.[24]
In September 2006, Hitari, a UK based company that produces remote control toy cars, released the Knight Rider KITT remote control car in 1/15 scale complete with the working red scanner lights, KITT's voice from the TV show and the car's turbine engine sound with the "whoosh whoosh" scanner sound effect.[25][26]
In December 2012, Diamond Select Toys released a talking electronic 1/15 scale KITT which features a light up dashboard, scanner, foglights and tail lights along with the original voice of KITT, William Daniels, all at a push of a button. An Entertainment Earth exclusive version of that Diamond Select Toys 1/15 KITT, exclusive as it will include an in scale figure of Michael Knight to go with the car, is due for release in February of 2013 and is available exclusively at Entertainment Earth's website. Diamond Select Toys will also be releasing an 8-inch figure of Michael Knight with the likeness of David Hasselhoff which will be released in March of 2013.[27] [28] [29]
Music

The series had a strong musical connection, the theme tune has been sampled and remixed a number of times, and episodes featured popular music tracks as well as original compositions.
Punjabi MC: Mundian To Bach Ke and also on a remix featuring Jay-Z called Beware of the Boys
Busta Rhymes: Turn It Up (Remix)/Fire It Up
Timbaland & Magoo ft Mad Skillz: Clock Strikes

Moreover, alternative metal band System of a Down used a part of the theme in their song "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" from the album Steal This Album!.
In addition, Film Score Monthly released a limited-edition disc of music from the series in 2005, featuring Glen A. Larson and Stu Phillips's theme and cues from Phillips's scores for "Knight of the Phoenix" (the pilot), "Not a Drop to Drink", "Trust Doesn't Rust", "Forget Me Not" and "Inside Out". The album finishes with Phillips's music for the Glen Larson Productions logo.
The Knight Rider theme was most recently featured as Ted's ringtone in John's phone in the 2012 comedy film Ted.[30]

A series of annuals were published each year in the UK by Grandreams. These books consisted of a mix of text stories and cartoon strips, as well as photos and articles on the shows stars and KITT. There were five annuals produced in total, each reflecting the different season of the show, that was airing at the time, with the final two releases covering the final season. (The last annual was printed in a quite small quantity, due to popularity of the show gradually fading, and is considerably rarer as a result).

God, this shit fucking takes me back. My father introduced this show to me when I was really young(he himself had grown up with it as well), and it basically became one of my sweetest childhood memories. I taught myself how to count with the VHS tapes(they had the episode's number in red on the spine), and even owned a little Hotwheels Mach 5 replica. It was one of my most favorite toys, but, just like Speed would, I gave it to another boy who lost all his possessions in a house fire.

And I was born in 1971 and remember Speed Racer running popular when I was about 6 or 7 but it finally tapered off a bit in the late 70's. I remember Johnny Quest and really loved that stuff, especially the boats and swamp related episodes. I cannot remember a single theme to any Speed Racer episode however, only bits and pieces.

I remember watching Speed Racer on Cartoon Network in the 90s. It was just another one of my numerous favorite shows on CN. I never knew it was an anime. Of course, I was so young then that I didn't know what the heck anime was. I even thought that DBZ, Voltron, Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, and all those other anime that Toonami showed in its early years were brand new cartoons.

You know, I never quite got Speed Racer. He's treated as such a hero in the show and that all his competitors cheat and use unfair advantages, yet Speed himself does almost all of those things in the show. Including the deaths of other drivers with a show of little or poor sportsmanship.

It's especially weird when you think of real Motorsport victims and how horrific it can be.

I'm not bashing the show, I mean it's such a classic. But you must get my point.

OK. I HATED Speed Racer as a little kid. I watched this show every weekday before school. I watched to see if the sonofabitch would lose a race. Better yet, I hoped and prayed Captain Terror would run him off the road so he'd crash the Mach-5 and go out in one big explosion! Go to hell, Space Racer, GO!

Everyone mentioning the guy who died in the crash/explosion, they were at least 15-wide & driving past a cliff with a flimsy guardrail.That kind of stuff is going to happen. And more than 1 car has, to say the least, questionable modifications, (saw blades, homing robot, hydraulic jumpers, etc) Maybe you should take it up with whatever league they're in. I never had a problem with it when I was 5.These guys obviously have egos; look at how Speed gets out of his car. No reward without some risk.

1skullduggery 1 year ago

no he probably died a brutal death. i say that because the speed racer episodes were very edited for american audiences. the japanese originals were full of blood and gore; which is like the norm for them, right down to their children's cartoons. it would be far too dangerous for u.s. kids to have viewed the un-cut originals. it would have produced at least several desensitized kids trying to imitate what they saw through violence. lol. maybe not, but you know what i mean.

lol yeh excellent example for kids to be watching, lol no wonder we have the road rage out there we do today lol everybody on the road thinks 'they're in the right' and thinks they're 'Speed Racer' well i'm look at the clip again, maybe speed was just changing lanes & there was a bump up and it was an accident, lol, but he sure didn't stop to go see if the guy was alright, man, that was practically a 'hit and run', maybe was a subtle 'hit and run' message, lol, man, excellent dom!

i watched closely again dom, and it looked it could have either way, really maybe an accident, the two cars evenly bumped,like an inadvertent bump, an accident, but either way lol, then there's huge explosion, and they all just keep merrily driving along, including speed, like the just horribly died and Speed just keeps going, that's some shit, i agree with you there, what is Speed Racer show - Death Race 2000? i bet you a million dollar it's why they took this 1st ever japanese

anime cartoon to be in the u.s. off the air, because of it's violence, when the movie came with emile hirsh, there was fair amount of auto and other violence in it, i can't remember if it was PG-13 or R, but you dom make an excellent point, growing up i watched this thinking the races were for the cars to elude each other til they crossed the finish line, i never thought, even with Speed, that its ok to go ahead and KILL the other driver! lol that's not good moral teaching

the japanese are what we americans would call 'weird' - different cultures i guess, they censor out a man's penis in porno's? go figure, they a lot of things we'd consider 'strange', Speed Racer is like most japanese anime an adult cartoon, it never should have been aired where younger kids could watch it, it's violent, deaths, etc. for a cartoon, i don't think the american tv media knew what they were doing when they agreed to air speed racer, it was the first ever jap anime in u.s.a

Well they did say "He's a Demon on Wheels, he's a Demon and he's going to be chasing after someone" LOL

I guess that nobody thought different about racing at that point. A lot of endurance events were held on unsafe public roads, in featherweight, magnesium tube framed cars that held steel tanks with HIGHLY flammable race fuel, on crude treaded race tires. They lost a LOT of drivers from '66 to the mid 70's, when safety finally started to creep into big racing. The speed outpaced the car and tire technology for a LONG time.

Um, who says he has to be a fighter ? he can still make a cameo appearance since he is one of the prominent Tatsunoko characters, its worth the mention. Take Fiona Belli from Capcom for example, she can't fight but at least she made a cameo in Joe the Condor's ending. Please use your brain to think about what I am really trying saying, thanks.

Although my brother and I were in our 20s already when this cartoon came out, we still on occasion would keep our Saturday morning routine of watching cartoons. You must remember at that time Japanese cars were just cheap little tin boxes with throw-away motors, so we got the biggest kick out of this. We figured the Japanese could live their automotive speed-dreams vicariously through this fellow Speed Racer, his monkey, his mechanic, his girlfriend, and that kid, (his nephew?).

Knight Rider is an American television series, that originally ran from September 26, 1982, to August 8, 1986. The series was broadcast on NBC and stars David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a high-tech modern day knight fighting crime with the help of an advanced, artificially intelligent and nearly indestructible car.
Conceived and produced by Glen A. Larson, the show was an instant hit. "I wanted to do The Lone Ranger with a car", and "Kind of a sci-fi thing, with the soul of a western", Larson said in The Last Great Ride.

Plot
Self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police detective Michael Arthur Long after a near fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (via plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. Wilton selects Michael to be the primary field agent in the pilot program of his Knight Industries-funded public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). The other half of this pilot program is the Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), a heavily modified Pontiac Trans Am with numerous features including an extremely durable shell and frame, controlled by a computer with artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT are brought in during situations where "direct action might provide the only feasible solution".
Heading FLAG is Devon Miles, who provides Michael with directives and guidance. Dr. Bonnie Barstow is the chief engineer in charge of KITT's care, as well as technical assistant to Devon (April Curtis fills this role in Season 2).
Production
The car used as KITT in the series was a customized 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am sports model, that cost US$100,000 to build.[1]
Cast and characters
David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight (born Michael Arthur Long) – An undercover Las Vegas police detective who, while on a case, is shot in the face and nearly killed. Wilton Knight, creator of FLAG, directs his doctors to save Long's life and reconstruct his face. With his new identity, "Michael Knight", Long is provided with high tech crime-fighting equipment, most notably the car nicknamed KITT. David Hasselhoff also played the villainous Garthe Knight, Wilton's estranged son, who has become a criminal.
William Daniels as the voice of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) – The autonomous, artifical intelligent car, with whom Michael Knight is partnered. Daniels, who simultaneously also starred on St. Elsewhere, requested to not be credited for his role as KITT's voice.
Edward Mulhare as Devon Miles – The leader of FLAG, who appeared in nearly every episode to provide mission details to Knight and KITT. He was also the spokesman for FLAG whenever it came under scrutiny.
Patricia McPherson as Dr. Bonnie Barstow (Seasons 1, 3-4) – KITT's chief technician and as romantic tension for Michael. The character was dropped after the first season, but due to strong fan reaction and lobbying by Hasselhoff and Mulhare, she was returned for the third season and remained through the end of the series.[2]
Rebecca Holden as April Curtis (Season 2) – Chief technician for KITT. The character was written out, when Patricia McPherson returned.
Peter Parros as Reginald Cornelius III aka RC3 (Season 4) – Driver of the FLAG mobile unit and occasional sideman for Michael & KITT.
Richard Basehart as Wilton Knight – The creator of FLAG, who dies in the pilot episode. Basehart's voice, however, is heard throughout the series, narrating over the credits.

Spinoffs and sequels
Code of Vengeance
The two-part episode "Mouth of the Snake" served as a backdoor pilot for a 1984 series to be called All That Glitters. Rejected by NBC, the lead character and actor were recycled for a short-lived 1985-1986 series titled Code of Vengeance, revolving around Charles Taylor as Vietnam veteran David Dalton. The Knight Rider episode featured Dalton exhibiting great gymnastics, not unlike The Six Million Dollar Man sans bionics, but when Code of Vengeance aired, Dalton was an ordinary-skilled drifter. It soon fell off the schedules after only two two-hour movies and two one-hour episodes.[3]
Knight Rider 2000
Main article: Knight Rider 2000
Knight Rider 2000 was a 1991 sequel movie featuring Michael Knight and Devon Miles, with KITT being given a new sporty red body (a close copy of the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car, actually a Dodge Stealth with custom body work) as the Knight 4000. It served as a pilot for a would-be new series starring Susan Norman as Shawn McCormick, but it did not sell.
Knight Rider 2010
Knight Rider 2010 is a 1994 movie loosely based on the show. There are so few links to the original show, it may not be considered canon other than for carrying the Knight Rider title. The film was penned by Miami Vice writer John Leekley.
Team Knight Rider
In 1997, Team Knight Rider was introduced as a spinoff. Set sometime in the near future, the show featured a fleet of intelligent vehicles. Michael Knight returned at the end of the final episode of the first season, though he was not played by David Hasselhoff. This was a cliffhanger intended to be explained in the next season. However, the show did not catch on and the second season was not commissioned. Team Knight Rider ran for 22 episodes.
2008 television movie and sequel
Main articles: Knight Rider (2008 film) and Knight Rider (2008 TV series)
On September 26, 2007, NBC announced, that it was creating a two-hour backdoor pilot to air later that season.[4] In the new version, Justin Bruening stars as the estranged son of Michael Knight, Mike Traceur.[5] Deanna Russo plays Traceur's one-time girlfriend and love interest, Sarah Graiman.[5] Bruce Davison co-stars as her father, physicist Charles Graiman, the original designer of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand).[5] Wayne Kasserman co-stars as Mike's roommate and friend.[6] David Hasselhoff also has a cameo as Michael Knight.[5] The new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is portrayed as a Ford Shelby GT 500 KR Mustang.[7]
Supervising producer Dave Andron wrote the pilot script, Doug Liman and Dave Bartis executive produced it.[5] NBC announced on December 13, 2007 that the 2-hour pilot would air on February 17, 2008. Val Kilmer recorded the voice for the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) Mustang, after Will Arnett, who initially won the role, was asked to withdraw by General Motors due to his prior advertising agreements with them.[8] Sydney Tamiia Poitier, the youngest daughter of Sidney Poitier, played FBI agent Carrie Rivai.
After receiving good ratings, NBC announced, that Knight Rider would return as a weekly series beginning in the fall of 2008. The show aired Wednesdays at 8:00pm/7:00pm CT.[9] The series premiered September 24, 2008 on NBC. In November 2008, NBC announced, that the series had been picked up for a complete 22-episode season but that several cast members would be leaving and the story lines revamped after the original 13-episode order.[10] On May 19, 2009, NBC announced that Knight Rider was canceled after one season because of poor ratings.
Film adaptation
In March 2002, Revolution Studios announced a partnership with Mayhem Pictures to create a film adaptation of the TV series. The film would be re-designed to be similar to Revolution's previous project, xXx. Series creator Glen A. Larson was hired to write the first script draft, with the series' lead actor David Hasselhoff attached to advise the project and also have an onscreen role.[11] In April 2003, Revolution Studios hired screenwriters David Elliott and Paul Lovett to pen the film's script.[12] In April 2004, the premise of the film was described as having Hasselhoff reprise his role as Michael Knight, though he would be an elder statesman, who would serve as a mentor to the protagonist in the same way that Devon Miles mentored Knight in the TV series. The protagonist would be Knight's son, inheriting the family business and driving the vehicle KITT. The producers' choice for the role was actor Ben Affleck.[13] The series' voice of KITT, William Daniels, was being sought by Hasselhoff to reprise his role, as well as Peter Cullen for the voice of KARR.[citation needed]
In May 2006, The Weinstein Company acquired film rights to adapt Knight Rider from series creator Larson. He expressed his interest in the film adaptation as a potential franchise property.[14] The following September, Hasselhoff invited actor Orlando Bloom to portray Knight's son in the film adaptation, but Bloom turned down the offer.[15] In April 2007, Hasselhoff said, that the film was in development at Miramax, and that he would at least have a cameo in the film.[16]
In September 2007, Glen A. Larson appeared in a personal video for Knightcon 07 in the UK. This marked Larson's first public video appearance, in which he addressed the fans directly and presented visual confirmation of a script for a proposed Knight Rider motion picture. Since this initial appearance, plans have been underway at The Weinstein Company to bring Knight Rider to the big screen as an updated take on the original series pilot, "Knight of the Phoenix". Larson's motion picture plans have no connection to the 2008 TV series by NBC.[citation needed]

Knight Rider in popular culture
On July 8, 2008, GPS manufacturer Mio Technology announced the release of a Knight Rider-themed GPS unit for a price of $270. The unit has the original Knight Rider logo printed above the display and features the voice of William Daniels.[19]
Toys, games and vehicles
Kenner's Knight 2000 Voice Car with Michael Knight action figure
Hitari 1/15 Knight Rider KITT remote control car
Diamond Select Toys Electronic 1/15 Knight Rider KITT
Various toy versions of KITT were released and produced solid profits. Among the more notable of the Knight Rider memorabilia includes the remote controlled KITT, the Knight Rider lunch box, and the deluxe version of KITT. This final model, sold by Kenner Toys and dubbed the "Knight Rider Voice Car", spoke electronically (actual voice of William Daniels), featured a detailed interior and a Michael Knight action figure as well.[20]
In the 1980s there was a Knight Rider toy vehicle for Germany's Darda system.[21]
Knight Rider: The Game was produced by Davilex International under license. Players could drive KITT through 15 missions and meeting characters from the show like Devon, Bonnie, KARR and Garthe Knight.[22] Davilex also released a sequel in late 2004.[23]
As with many popular series of the era (including The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team etc.), ERTL released die-cast toys of KITT in three different sizes — the common miniature sized model, a 'medium' sized model, and a large sized model. These toys featured red reflective holograms on the nose to represent the scanner (however, they were located on the point of the nose, rather like the early mock-up of KITT seen in the Pilot) as opposed to altering the basic model design to incorporate the scanner as commonly seen in the series. The toys also included round steering wheels as opposed to KITT's customized one. Also in late 2004, 1/18 scale die-cast models of KITT and KARR were produced from ERTL complete with detailed interior and light up moving scanner just like in the series.[24]
In September 2006, Hitari, a UK based company that produces remote control toy cars, released the Knight Rider KITT remote control car in 1/15 scale complete with the working red scanner lights, KITT's voice from the TV show and the car's turbine engine sound with the "whoosh whoosh" scanner sound effect.[25][26]
In December 2012, Diamond Select Toys released a talking electronic 1/15 scale KITT which features a light up dashboard, scanner, foglights and tail lights along with the original voice of KITT, William Daniels, all at a push of a button. An Entertainment Earth exclusive version of that Diamond Select Toys 1/15 KITT, exclusive as it will include an in scale figure of Michael Knight to go with the car, is due for release in February of 2013 and is available exclusively at Entertainment Earth's website. Diamond Select Toys will also be releasing an 8-inch figure of Michael Knight with the likeness of David Hasselhoff which will be released in March of 2013.[27] [28] [29]

The series had a strong musical connection, the theme tune has been sampled and remixed a number of times, and episodes featured popular music tracks as well as original compositions.

Busta Rhymes: Turn It Up (Remix)/Fire It Up

Moreover, alternative metal band System of a Down used a part of the theme in their song "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" from the album Steal This Album!.
In addition, Film Score Monthly released a limited-edition disc of music from the series in 2005, featuring Glen A. Larson and Stu Phillips's theme and cues from Phillips's scores for "Knight of the Phoenix" (the pilot), "Not a Drop to Drink", "Trust Doesn't Rust", "Forget Me Not" and "Inside Out". The album finishes with Phillips's music for the Glen Larson Productions logo.
The Knight Rider theme was most recently featured as Ted's ringtone in John's phone in the 2012 comedy film Ted.[30]

A series of annuals were published each year in the UK by Grandreams. These books consisted of a mix of text stories and cartoon strips, as well as photos and articles on the shows stars and KITT. There were five annuals produced in total, each reflecting the different season of the show, that was airing at the time, with the final two releases covering the final season. (The last annual was printed in a quite small quantity, due to popularity of the show gradually fading, and is considerably rarer as a result).
