The sub-title of the Movie

Post by MJknight » Wed Mar 26, 2008 6:38 pm

The original Knight Rider Pilot TV movie on September 26th 1982 had the subtitle 'Knight of the Phoenix', I personally think that the movie's subtitle should have something similar to that but obviously not the same name.

Either that or have it as 'Knight Rider: The Knight rises'

Here's a few ideas that I have thought of:

Knight Rider: The ride begins
Knight Rider: Genesis
Knight Rider: Dawn of the Knight
Knight Rider: Knight Rebirth

What do you think?

You know what would have been perfect? "Legacy"

Unfortunately it's tainted and would leave a bad taste in many fans mouths.

Out of what's there I really like Genesis!

"Knight of the Phoenix" was added as a title when the show went into syndication; it didn't appear on screen when the show premiered. It's listed in the menus on the DVD, but not in the actual show.

Personally, I think the title "Knight Rider" should stand on its own. Look at just about every comic book or sci-fi franchise out there. How many of them have a subtitle for the origin story? The only major one I can think of off the top of my head is "Batman Begins", but even though it is an origin story there have been so many Batman movies already that it makes sense that they wanted to distinguish this new version.

I agree with Michael. It is more then likely it will be just "Knight Rider" with no sub-title. There haven't been any theatrical KR releases before so it wouldn't make sense to use "Genesis" or "Begins".

It's always fun to play around with ideas though.
