How did KARR get the new paint job in KITT vs KARR?

Sith · Post by **Sith** » Mon Jan 19, 2004 11:03 pm

A question often asked on these boards, is how did KARR go from pure black in one scene, to his two tone colour scheme in the next?

Well, the obvious answer is that a few scenes were cut in syndication, especially from more recent showings of the episode.

Here is the dialogue from the infamous lost scene:

John: Ok thats it, you said no cops. You stay here tonight, then you're on your own.

KARR: 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...?

John: No thanks. Oh, no hard feelings though. Oh, it was fun. For a while there I felt like a kid again. Felt like a teenager with the hottest car in town. Trouble is, I'm not a teenager anymore. I have responsibilities. I got plans. Got a job.

KARR: You repair boats for 4 dollars an hour.

John: Hey, you weren't complaining there back at the beach when I towed you out.

KARR: Nor am I complaining now! Just pointing out what should be obvious.

John: And what is that?

KARR: You need me. I meant what I said earlier. You may not be Aladdin, but I am the genie. I can make all your dreams come true.

John: Thanks anyway.

KARR: As you wish...

I think if they show all details, the show has to be 3 hours long!

the same strange thing is, why does he has now a yellow scanner? In the past it was red, too, exactly like KITT's scanner

I recall Micheal and KITT gave subtle hints to the scanner fading when both of them were scanning the tracks at the beach. Micheal said something along the lines of, all those years in the beach must have corroded KARR's systems. The recent channel 5 (UK channel) showed KITT v KARR pretty much uncut and included that scene Sith discribed above.

no no, I just thought, Why do you have an episode which I was looking for a long time, and I still have it yet

sarfraz · Post by **sarfraz** » Tue Jan 20, 2004 10:18 am

er, anyway jup, I think it was an uncut version as it contained that scene and many others that were not shown on the original ITV (80's UK) showing.

Dome, I don't quite understand what your saying. Your looking for this ep but don't have it yet???

sorry sometimes I translate just word by word.

I was looking for this episode on VHS odr DVD when I was in England, but I didn't found it. I think it doensn't exist.

Well I could record it in German, when the send it the next time, but I search it in the original way, so it is easier for me to improve my English

I always chalked it up to editing. Just one of those things that they missed. Thanks for the clarification.

Oh right. Sorry didn't realise you were from Germany. The episode was recorded off the TV. Its not yet available on DVD or VHS sadily.

Channel 5 (UK channel) has a reputution for showing programmes and movies uncut.

I am Swiss, not German

However, I think I have to move to Britain. Or I should visit you the next time I am in London

That part about "Circuits needing repair and altering his appearance" were shown on the local channel here (Star World), at least on this current rerun. This channel does strange things with the programme- the mismatched end credits, then the odd divides in the double episodes, then this supposedly edited scene being aired. Are there any other scenes that were cut out from that episode? I had watched it a little more closely that time, so I might remember.

Well everytime i seen that episode that part was always in it so being cut is new to me

That clip doesn't work for me. I'm using my iMac at the moment, as my PC is temporarily out of
action. Any chance of a version of that clip in RealMedia, WindowsMedia, or QuickTime format?

Were you able to get this clip to work DJGM? I can convert it to quicktime if you need. Although it worked fine in Quicktime 6 for me... weird.

Nah . . . it didn't work. I'm assuming the clip has been taken down now . . . ?

If it was on the KRMultimedia site then yes it will be down now. Can anyone who has this clip on their computer post it on a website. I would love to see it:)

I also noticed the colour of the scanner had changed also lol

Can you imagine the scanner going through seawater and coming out like it was before it would have to be different.
