Weird Turbo Boost?
Hi, I was watching "Knight of the Juggernaut" and there is a scene where Michael and the Foundation's board of directors watch clips of Kitt's car chases on the television. One of the scenes include a shot of KITT Turbo Boosting sideways through a railroad boxcar. It looked wild. Which episode was that particular Turbo Boost from? Anyone know?

There is one instance when I think KITT turbo-boosted rather strangely (or rather impossibly). It was when KITT was trapped inside a car-crusher/compactor. It was apparent that KITT was pinned down horizontally by the thick steel of the compactor. How KITT was able to achieve a diagonal trajectory (as shown on his TV screen) and then turbo-boost upwards is rather....far-fetched IMO. KITT's nose was only seen rising up in the screen and not shown in actual footage. Then we see him sailing upwards.

I always thought that that bit was showing Michael the trajectory KITT would have to take to escape, like the bit where you do all the theoretical calculations before carrying out the experiment. The higher KITT's nose was, the more boost needed upwards. Something like that anyhoo.HondaSiR wrote: How KITT was able to achieve a diagonal trajectory (as shown on his TV screen) and then turbo-boost upwards is rather....far-fetched IMO.

No what's wierd is the camera. How is it like in "Golith" for example that when Michael and Garths Mom are watching Golith Break into Red bluff you see Golith travling down the road, see Garth driving the truck, see the dudes get out of the truck, see the wheels travling, stuff like that all on there little tv screen?. It's not like there was some dude carring a camera taping ever angle. And when Devon calls Michael, the camera in devons office just moves when he does and Follows them in ever direction. And how did the board of directors get all those Turbo boost shots, not like some kid was hanging around waiting for Kitt to jump over him. I know it's for the show and to tell the story, but they got out of hand on some episodes.
