Author: Is anyone else looking forward to the Knight Rider movie? Despite encouraging uncreative remakes of 80s TV properties, I’m still looking forward to it.
Here’s the poster for the movie, if you haven’t seen it yet:
See, kids? KITT doesn’t have a spoiler, so your 1993 Nissan Stanza doesn’t need one either.
Did you know that K.I.T.T. is an acronym for “Knight Industries Two-Thousand”? The two-thousand was always thrown in back then to make things seem more futurey. Worked on me, but I was just a dopey kid. I have more sophisticated tastes now, so I expect a suffix of at least 3000.
Also, I think this needs to be said, and I’m going to say it: KITT is a Cylon.
It’s pretty obvious, what with the red Cylon eyes LEDs. However, KITT could be a “good” Cylon, like Boomer, or something. I’m not the first to make this observation, of course; I’m just spreading the word!
Anyway, very few old TV shows have been converted into anything except crap on the big screen, with the possible exception of Mission Impossible or Charlie’s Angels (the first one anyway). I’m keeping my fingers crossed for cameos from the Hoff and Mr. Feeny. And KITT better sound British/gay!

Sorry to burst your bubble, Bonnie – but that poster is some fan made crap. They swiped the car photo from this: http://www.koenigsegg.com/thecars/ccx.asp
You aren’t sorry at all.
Still a cool poster.
worst post ever
worst comment ever
Well I think that they should use the car in the poster. Very menacing looking, very fast and it would make a great KITT. Yes people will be pissed because the movie maker will be using something other then an old tired 82 TA. BUt at the same time the movie maker could use a 2002 TA that has been reworked by Lingerfelter, he was the guy that brought back the Hurst TA some time ago. The man named John Lingerfelter died in a racing accident alittle while ago but his company still makes some of the worlds fastest C5 and C6 Corvettes. But as far as I’m concerned make the KITT the CCX and stop all your bitching.
