Throw backs

Post by fryedaddy » Thu Feb 21, 2008 12:44 am

How many subtle throw backs to the original could you find?
There were scenes that I knew were, and those that I felt were (couldn't remember specifically)
Old K2000 in the garage
Overtaking the semi - obviously a throw back to Michael playing chicken and KITT "showing off"
Mike Tracer was wearing a red shirt and black jacket - just like Michael Knight did through most of the original pilot.
KITT getting testy when Mike dropped a chip - reminiscent of old school KITT being a little beotch at times
the very end when Mike said his driving would definitely become a habit - i don't remember where I saw it, but it sounds like something Michael Knight would have said.

What else?

The 180 out of the cargo plane - like backing out of the semi.
At one point Mike tells KITT to shut up and it reminded me of the classic "KITT?" "Yes?" "Shut up." little banter that happened quite often. XD
The robot spider has a KITT2000 scanner.
The desert driving scene.
The mountain/windy road chase scene.
The "And his name, is KITT" line. Though I woulda preferred the 'classic version' of it better. ;_;
The casino scene. Every good KR ep HAS to have a casino and/or desert driving scene, right?
The "Even though I cannot feel" little dealio that KITT always adds on to stuff. (even though personally I think he's being sarcastic.)
Aaaand...that's all I can think of right now. XD
Turbo Boost, Baby!
