killeye -

You ABSOLUTELY found it! Good work! That's a location I've been searching for on and off for a while. And welcome to the forums!

Joe

THIS JUST IN! After numerous requests from you guys and an analysis of costs, we are pleased to announce that Knight Rider: 30 Years of a Lone Crusader and His Talking Car will be released in a limited edition hardback version AND a regular paperback version! The hardback version, with a sleeve, wil...

I found the hotel used as the "Dune Drifter" - it's Hyatt Westlake Plaza in Thousand Oaks. 880 S. Westlake Blvd., Westlake Village, California, USA 91361

To add to this some more, I dug through my archives to find some other MCA Knight Rider ads....enjoy! http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8697/41b61.jpg http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6557/1985presskit1.jpg http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2146/dscn1910z.jpg http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3190/dscn19...

In honor of Knight Rider's 30th anniversary, I will be posting some fun, rare videos from my collection. Some you may have seen, some you haven't! Enjoy.

Up first is this 1983 NBC commercial, part of their "You Couldn't Be There" series:

Not to hijack the thread and change it into a discussion about WWOR...but... I have such fond memories of WWOR and really, if it weren't for that station showing the re-runs to me when I was a wide eyed kid, who knows if I would have the passion for it that I do today. Anyways, for those of you who ...

I have two videos that I recorded back on WWOR that I will upload soon...you guys who remember the station will love it

Joe

It's funny, because even though I was a little tyke at the time, I specifically remember watching a half hour version of "Diamonds Aren't a Girl's Best Friend" on WWOR out of New Jersey. They seemed to play KR many hours a day - some were 30 min, some were the full hour. All I remember is ...

The list of interviewees keeps growing! Daphne Lee Ashbrook (Katherine Granger, "A Knight in Shining Armor") is now a part of the new book! http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/6074/thpdvd043.jpg Head of Hair/Make-up Allen Payne has also been interviewed! Some more BIG names coming soon! Joe

Haha Mike - awesome!

Joe

One step ahead of you Mike, it's L.A. City Hall: http://knightrideronline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1060&t=11725&p=137844&hilit=just+my+bill#p137844 And regarding your quote posted earlier...I've actually met Eric Dahlquist in person and he confirmed to me then that the Datsun was consid...

Found Cara's apartment building last night...still even has the artwork out front! http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6291/31knightmaresmpg0016563.jpg http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/1183/31knightmaresmpg0016429.jpg http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/6502/knightmaresaptbuilding.jpg Intersection of ...

I'll have to check my records...but I don't think that the hotel has been found yet...it would probably be fairly simple to find by looking for cues in the episode, I just don't think anyone has done that yet. EDIT: There's a scene inside the hotel that shows a sign for the "Claremont Room"...

The GPS coordinates for the exact spot are: 34.390504, -118.620631

Just paste those into the Google Maps browser. Here's an aerial view:



My bad, it's off Potrero Canyon Rd, not Pico...same area though.

Joe

The locations between the trees is called Peppertree Canyon, off Pico Canyon Rd in Newhall, CA.

Joe

Paul at the Knight Rider Archive is the guy to answer this...I have a partial list of season 4 filming dates, but he may be able to fill in the blanks. I can tell you that The Scent of Roses was not filmed last, but in the later half of the season. I believe Voo Doo Knight was the actual last episod...

I found the Chinese temple! Even though the scene was cut, where Michael and KITT pull up is the same place as the temple. The Shell gas station is still even there! http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/8463/59knightknerdmpg0007708.jpg http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/8931/knerdtemple2.jpg http://im...

Why, Mike, I don't know what you are referring to? I certainly didn't give simon $5 to post that.

Joe

I think the water falls at the beginning were on Universal Studios' backlot...I think that's where they filmed the waterfall scenes in "Not a Drop to Drink" as well. As for the Chinese building, I've been looking for that for a long time. There is a clue in the scene where KITT pulls up. Y...

The airport scenes (both in LA and Vegas) take place at Brackett Airfield in Verne, CA. It's the same airport used in "White Bird" and can be identified by the unique shape of the control tower:



Joe

The climax of this episode takes place at Brackett Airfield in Verne, CA. It's the same airport used in "The Topaz Connection" and can be identified by the unique shape of the control tower: http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/5051/18whitebirdmpg002535714.jpg http://img824.imageshack.us/img...

Immediately before the police car is blown up, you can see it driving on a highway past the sign for the Castaic Junction Restaurant. This restaurant is the same one seen at the start of "Ten Wheel Trouble" and has since been torn down. The police officer is driving on the I-5 on-ramp comi...

The location for the Calley Family Trucking and Riggins Distributors is near the old Castaic Junction Restaurant, located at the intersection of I-5 and Highway 126 in Castaic, CA. Both the Calley Family building and Riggins buildings are still there, and look how close they are to each other! http:...
