Ejector Seat

Post by KnightRiderKITT1982 » Fri Dec 05, 2014 8:29 pm

Was the idea of putting an ejector seat into KITT taken from the 1st James Bond Movie, Dr NO?

Hard to tell. I assume it falls within the same category as the smoke and oil dispensers, both of which are standard fare for "spy shows." Speaking of which, I just watched "Nobody Does it Better" and noticed a definite Bond-esque vibe in parts of it, especially the musical score for the episode. Michael is an expert in countering industrial espionage, after all. 8)

Wouldn't be surprised, as I expect that noting the car had Bond'isk properties would have been apart of the pitch. After all, KITT even has flip license plates...another Bond car feature.
