KARR

Post by pezze87 » Wed Jul 12, 2006 6:39 am

Hi at all, I have a question about KARR's colour, I don't know if this has already been asked: Why KARR in the 6th episode of the 3rd season is half grey and half black? Wasn't it of the same colour as KITT is? Is there given any explanation?

KARR always had grey on the bottom portion. The grey probably didn't go up as far on his first appearance though. I need to see the episodes again to see if they're different.

Afraid not.

KARR in "Trust Doesn't Rust" is indeed identical to KITT.

However, about 2/3 way through "KITT vs KARR", KARR announces that he wished to change his appearance - and from then on appeared with the 2 tone paint. We never see him being repainted, he just appears like that.

The version of KR on tv has shown this clip where KARR gets painted. Its been shown here in the UK before.

thats good that they changed the karrs scanner and body color cause when i first time saw the knight rider the episode was ''Trust Doesnt Rust''. I was thinking that karr was kitt even because it had cooler vox well now i know atleast

The debate over what, do you not belive that there was ever a scene where KARR requests to be re painted??

ok, i've been reading the script which is on Knight rider archive. In one scene KARR says:
"I don't understand. I thought we were
friends. My circuitry needs repairs
and I want to alter my appearance. I
can reward you handsomely for your help."

It appears there was no actual scene where we see him being painted but later on in the show when we see him at the cash machine with John and the old lady the script notes say:
" EXT. BANK - DAY

It's early AM as K.A.R.R. slides out of an alley in the
morning light and pulls into a parking lot next to a small
bank. There's no one in sight except a little Old Lady
punching buttons at one of the windows marked, "Quick-Cash
-- 24 Hours". K.A.R.R., we now see, has been repainted
with John's help; black top, silver side panels. He looks
sharp."

maybe KARR just drove to a midnight spray paint shop and controlled the machine to spray him that way.

It's a good question, but I like the One Man, One Car idea and I'm sure someone will come up a plausable reason why they couldn't do this :D
