KR & tkr =Rolling Thunder

Post by T.A.H.O.E. » Mon Jan 22, 2007 4:35 pm

hey all, there was a real bad movie called "Rolling Thunder" about a group of folks with some armored,suped up,gadget laden cars/trucks-stopping terrorists/thieves.... ala TKR...and it pre-dates TKR by the way...here's the kicker: most of the shots were from the KR set/L.A. backdrop/L.A. hills,etc.

No A.I. in any vehicle tho.....no light bar/scanners....

speaking of A.I.- how bout Brett (don't call me DATA) Spiner as the new voice of KITT- incase Mr.Daniels backs out & Michael York as Devon Miles
after all hes's a Brit- he played Basile in all the Austin Powers flicks....
" Silence....we have an intruder... "

John de Lancie would also make a good KITT. He's very talented.

I wouldn't mind Brett doing KITT's voice. He's also good talent.

Correction, I think John de Lancie would make an even better KARR. :twisted: For those that don't recognize the name, he played "Q" in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and a few others like Deep Space 9 and Voyager.

He also played Dr. Russell Bennet in the Sci-Fi movie "Evolver".

Among other cool stuff. Here's something he and Leonard Nimoy did that is really hilarious! :)

John is the guy on the right. :)

Q

Post by T.A.H.O.E. » Tue Jan 23, 2007 1:13 pm

He also did a narration on some national geographic show all about astronomy & some of the info sent back to earth by all the probes sent out from earth....one of theose probes was Voyager- aka "Vger".....
and a a show in either SCI-FI or Discovery about UFO-truth/fiction...

Q as the voice for KARR....?---Nahhhhh! a Narrator for KR, maybe...doing the opening /closing lines immortalized by the late Richard Basehart
( then Marina Sirtis would have to be a Bond Girl...)

oooh- I just saw a video by Black Sabbath/Toni Iommi with Denise Crosby in it...( Tasha Yar )

The (unsold) movie/pilot -"ROLLING THUNDER" seemed like a mix of McGyver, A-Team,TKR & Viper,StreetHawk (sheeeesh!)

Spiner as voice of KITT...? it would fly....!
& Alexondra Lee as Dr.Bonnie Barstow ( yeh I posted her name b4)
" Silence....we have an intruder... "

before they changed their name, the action channel used to play Rolling Thunder all the time

Evolver? i think i have that movie, about a 3ft toy robot that goes homicidal becuase it's built out of an old military attack droid,

what about Milla Jovovich to play Bonnie? she's pretty hot & she's done alot of sci-fi movies (5th Element, Resident Evil, Ultraviolet), & we all know unlike that *#$% Simpson she's willing to dye her hair... actually i think she's a burnette?

Ole Blue Eyes might be sensitive about type casting as automations.

KITT5 - Yeah that was the one. Pretty cool movie though, I thought. I like near the end where Evolver says "Delete THIS!" - That, to me, just sounded SO much like something KARR would say. :twisted:

A nice idea

Post by ThunderChild » Fri Feb 09, 2007 5:41 pm

Here's an interesting thought:

Sir Anthony Hopkins ("Tell me about the lambs Clarice")
as
1st choice: KITT
2nd choice: Devon
