Not sure if there's a thread about this already but the search didn't find one. Watched a new episode of Knightrider last night and the new KITT went into attack mode. Something about it is well retro - like an old Hot Wheels car or something! The acting is terrible BTW!   |

I saw the pilot episode and it didn't look anything like that. As it can shape shift probably not a problem.
I do quite like hotwheels look. Acting was tolerable in the pilot.

The acting is fine up until they pretend to be driving. Then its comical ;D

Yeah, that looks loads better than in the pilot I saw. I'd written it off but now I've seen that I may revisit.

front wheels bigger than back? fail /\ What he said! /\ Nevermind that the rear tyres have big sidewalls and the front are rubber bands - on a proper drag racer it looks ok. On a new mustang it is all worlds of fail. |

I've been dreading this New KR. But that looks crazy.  however then what were they thinking with those wheels, I thought it looked prostreet or drag look with some perspective thrown in but they are big wheels at the front!  Yet to see the show, is it on Sky or something? Was expecting a film  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

It's on Sci-Fi on Tuesdays at 8pm.
AS someone already mentioned KITT can now transform. Starts off as a plain (ish) Mustang , but can change to attack mode (above) or 4X4 mode where he becomes an F150(?).
Last night he was blasted off a cliff intoo the ocean and was in some sort of submarine mode - very James Bond. Especially when he drove onto the beach where a little kid was looking really confused.
Agree with the wheel comments - but I think you'll find that was a design feature of some of the best cars I've ever seen. I used to design cars like that all the time. On my primary school jotters! ;D

the actings lame. the plots are lame, the girls nearly as cute as bonnie from the hoff days but big mustang love from the cords ranch! ;D i would like to see the wheel arrangement rectifying though but hell its not mine so i don't care! |
| |
I then wanted to start cleaning the interior as it stinks of wood (the material not the smell of a boner) best quote ever! |

It's all about the product placement, you can even buy a production Mustang GT500KR.
The attack mode and the classic 1969 mustang modes are the only non advertising transformations KITT can make. The others are Fords F150 pickup, Flex, CROWN Vic and E150 van.
I'm surprised they didn't rewrite it so that Knight Industries was run out the back of a Ford Dealership.

front wheels bigger than back? fail looks pretty good imho. better than it could have.... saying if the rears and fronts were the same width but the front was a bigger diameter, then it would look crapola . thinking outside the box is good  |

Horrendous I reckon! Just my opinion, but it is all shades of wrong!

My boy loves it, but then he is 7. It is passable as there is usually nothing else on at the same time! less of many evils I don't like the transforming bit though, makes it too unbelievable...... urrr..... yeah..... |

I don't like the transforming bit though, makes it too unbelievable...... urrr..... yeah..... I was gonna post a comment earlier on the fact that when KITT transforms the passengers would have to be folded etc which makes it unrealistic. Then I realised what I was saying! The attack mode does match my early 80's checklist for cars(from my childhood): Big rear tyres = really fast Side exhausts = really fast More than 1 exhaust = really fast Tinted windows = really fast Anything sticking out of bonnet = really fast Wide arches = really fast Shiny wheels = really fast Front end down, back end up = really fast Massive spolier = really fast So by my calculation that makes attack mode KITT really, really, eally, really, really, really, really, really, really fast!!!! ;D |
