The most UNrealistic/daft scene/episode in Knight Rider
Going on from the other topics I thought i'd make this post,
What do you think is the most unrealistic or stupid scene/episode in Knight Rider?
I personally found the bit at the end of Just My Bill to be a bit unrealistic of KITT to say to Maggie "Go get them Maggie".
Just my view though

I think K.I.T.T. supposedly calculated just the right amount of high-frequency sound through the comlink, which allowed the dice to land a certain way. But yes, waay too far fetched.Michael Pajaro wrote:Most Unrealistic: KITT did a lot of techno-magic to move physical objects, such as spinning a dial on a safe to open it. But the worst in my opinion was how he could alter the dice rolls in "Goliath". Somehow he just zapped them so Michael would win? I don't get it.

I found that quite strange too in that episode I think he sounded most like a robot like when he said "back up there's a space behind you" also for some strange reason the colours on the voice modulator are differentMLAM wrote: I personally found the bit at the end of Just My Bill to be a bit unrealistic of KITT to say to Maggie "Go get them Maggie".

Ditto....Arroww' wrote:In my opinion, it's very unrealistic the scene in which KITT falls with a parachute....
And the scene in "Blind Spot" where Michael's tries to speak Spanish to the people poorly. I mean he didn't even try.... He kept saying the same 3-4 words over and over again.
I have some views about the Knight Rider 2000 movie, too. But that is for another time.....

One possibilty: He can hack into traffic carmera's service station camera's things like that could be possible and some could be hidden like when you see michael driving the camera could be hidden on the cowl induction part of the hood.rulloa81 wrote:THE CAMERA ANGLES!!! Where does KITT get all those camera views from. I can understand that KITT can see what is in front of him but there are some scenes that are rediculous. In some scenes KITT brings up images on his screen that are from a totally different camera angle.

Have you ever read the scipt for the unproduced episode The Wind Devil? Hell, that's more Tolkien than Knight Rider...
More ridiculous stuff: that spy guy in Mouth of the Snake with his superhuman jumps etc. Was he a mutant, or what?
And for TKR: all episodes were ridiculous, stupid, cheap copies of original KR concepts (Karr/Kro). I was so infuriated when I watched that stupid spinoff!

YES!!!!! I know what you mean, I started a thread awhile ago about how can people see crap on there tv with no cameras. Like in 'Golith" when they travel to red bluff, how is there a camera in red bluff showing them shooting people, and Goliths wheel driving done the street, stupid crap!!! Agreed as well about if the angel is in Kitt's view you can see it on the monitor, but from 100 miles away!!!, that's stupid!rulloa81 wrote:THE CAMERA ANGLES!!!

The most unrealistic scenes I can recall are the "Poltergeist" scene. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the episode (somebody help me here) but it is where Micheal is trapped inside of a closet because two people come into the room and begin making out. Now, while I understand how KITT could turn the lamp off and on to scare them...how the heck does he move a glass figurine back and forth across a table..and cause a door knock to move?? Then there's Halloween Knight...where the "witch" is walking past potted plants and they fall over as she walks by them?? That's about cheesy and SUPER unrealistic.

I just remembered a scene I thought was incredibly lame. It's in a first season episode, can't remember which one, where KITT's in an impound lot and pushes a car in front him out of the way in order to escape. What's completely unrealistic about it is that there are somehow two people making out in the back seat of the car and the guy says "Did it move for you too?" I know they were there for humor but it wasn't even funny. It was just dumb. There's noway two people would be in the backseat of a car in a locked impound lot.
Flyer Guy: "You really a talking car?"
KITT: "No. I'm a tight end for the Chicago Bears!"

I agree with Michael Pajaro. It drives me nuts when he unlocks dial safes, or unlocks padlock doors.
Electronically locked doors and electronic safes and I can fully understand how he does it, but not the manual ones. Now in one episode. Michael turns the dial and KITT watches and says "There." when he hits a number, that makes sense to me too, but not when he turns it.
Same thing with the dice, there's no way. I'll even grant him the roullette wheel in that 4th season episode because the roullette wheel was probably rigged anyway and KITT just messed with it, but no dice. lol

Return to Cadiz...Kitt (or should I say the model of Kitt) driving on the water, enough said.
When I was a kid watching KR I didnt notice how obvious the model of Kitt was. I understand they did a lot with the model that they couldn't do with a real Trans Am, but they could have spent a little more time and effort making the model look a little more realistic.
One more thing, how could KITT spin the dial on a safe and unlock a deadbolt lock, but not be able to lower an automotive lift?
And just a funny sidenote, did anyone else notice that when Bonnie would add something to KITT, Michael and KITT would always be impressed with Bonnie's new addition...In contrast when April added something to Kitt, Michael and KITT would be impressed if the new function actually worked properly!

how is it kitt can unlock handcuffs, open doors, microjam trunk locks (buyout) and the like, but if he gets stuck in the air by something as simple as a hydrolic floorjack, he is immobilized (specifically the one in buyout)
yeah the dice also annoy me as well....
and how come in junkyard dog, when kitt is lifted up in the air, why didnt he just microjam the forklift ? if he can stop whole cars (knights of the fast lane, the rotten apples, countless outhers) why not the forklift?

That was the WORST model I have ever seen and the scanner looked like it had white lines between it with a weird LED moving I think they used the same model in the episode where KITT is on the train tracks "RACE FOR LIFE SEASON 2" Its got the same funny scanner I think they used that for both of them.fred wrote:I never liked the model car shots either, in some episodes it is so obvious it is a crap model. The scene in junk yard dog where kitt is sinking is just one example.
