knight rider online

Hi,

I've just finished the first season once again and I spotted a lot of new bloppers and imperfections - but one thing bothers me a lot. In Knight of the Phoenix KITT goes to auto cruise and manouvers around the semi, but later on in Sammys Stunt Show, when Michael is drugged and can't do the jump, KITT asks him to put him to auto just like KITT couldn't do that by himself. Why is that?

I have also noticed that KITT very often is shown in the semi with T-tops detached and Michales drives him off the semi WITHOUT t-tops - and when the camera angle changes to show KITT getting off the semi, the t-tops are there

And the last thing I'm not sure as for now - in Knightmares (S2) Devon says something I can't really understand, in the very last dialog part. "<something> don't you see? he's fully recovered". Could you give me a clue what's that <something>? Perhaps I don't know the word he's using, that's why I can't understand.


Regards!

Well the last bit is saying that he has recovered from the amnesia but he pretended that he hadn't so he could go on a vacation.

The first two things you said I get annoyed at too. Maybe it was to confirm KITT to do the stunt that could threaten his life when he was asleep KITT can take over to protect his life.

Quote from Knightmares script ( http://www.knightriderarchive.com/scripts/211-7.html ):

Swamp Fox! Why that conniver!
Don't you see...he's completely
recovered. He remembers everything.
He just wanted a vacation....

Yes! Exactly! "Why that conniver" is what I was looking for

After seeing Knight Rider in detail for the second time I'm finding more and more funny scenes. Today I have noticed Michael actually _driving_ KITT, but sitting on the... right seat. Of course when the car stopped, he got out from the left side.

Yes KITTcan control all his functions he dosen't need Micheal to do it he was just checking Micheal was alright Micheal can override KITT's control systems by pressing the manual override button if requiredbut generally though he only needed to do that a couple of times during the series when they were buried in dirt and during the Knight In Disgrace when he was working undercover to stop LaSalle when he was forced to lie to KITT I mean in the Whit eRock episode KITT raised his roof automatically anmd if Iam not mistaken he turbo boosted automatically on his own too a few times throughout the series when Micheal called him for help. Generally most of but not all of the time when Micheal was in the car he generally preffered to handle it himself via the buttons that was why KITT generallyt asked him when he was at the helm

Yes kit turbo boosted by himself quite a few times. A specific one that comes to mind in junkyard dog after kit is rebuilt and they have him run the obstacle course. He also goes into ski mode by himself. I think kitt could do everything himself except maybe power himself down.

I would imagine he could power himself down, I would think he couldn't power himself ON.

I think sharp's right, Michael simply preferred to man the controls when he drove, but KITT could perform all of his functions on his own. I always thought it was funny that when KITT is in auto-cruise he drives just as wrecklessly as Michael does, as though he learned from him. I always would have expected the computer to be more precise in the driving.
He also Turbo Boosts on his own in A Nice Indecent Little Town (Little Indecent?) when granny's pretending to drive.

A good example of this is in A Good Knight's Work. KITT is forced to power himself down, but then has to be reactivated by some key thing that Michael was wearing around his neck.

You're right he couldn't turn himself back on but couldpower himself down to power up they had to type in a Key code on the panel if I remember correctly Devon eplained this to Micheal in the Pilot |Knight of the Phoeni when KITT and Micheal met for the firast time

Actually I was thinking the episode with the amnesiac woman called Micki or something where Micheal was absailing down the cliff using KITT's winch to retrieve the womans bag for her and runs into 2 of the henchman which were proving to much for Micheal to handle himself. So said "KITT I need you" KITT then reversed for a run up then Turbo Boosted over the edge down onto the beach with Micheal to lend a hand and took one of them on. You say that but aat speed it is moer difficult to control a car than it is at 50-70 mph which they did during their cruise modes My guess they wanted the driving to reflect that. I have had plenty of accidents on my F1 and other racing games and on the Knight Rider game too. and I do tend to lose it moer the more I push it which I do when trying to catcxh someone

He did get activated by the key thing but he was also activated in a season 3 episode by the comlink.

I don't know but the one episode where kitts winch starts overheating while pulling michael up a hill was hillarious, I mean he has no trouble pulling cars and any other heavy stuff but once he lifts michael the winch almost breaks.
