Although I Like the KR 2008 TV movie, your right about the rest, especially the premiere of KR 2008 and here's another at what's wrong with that new show 4 years ago, the final climatic sequence of that premiere was the one of the idiotic errors in recent tv history, michael knight jr gets shot down by the FBI, then wakes up later and he is bloodless and dry, i'm glad it was the end of the Knight Rider TV Franchise.tharpdevenport wrote:The iron isn't hot anymore.
Universal instead gave us a poor movie, then an aweful TV series years later barely resembling what we loved, then offerd us a poor new series that not only turned it it in every bad cliched poor TV series suffer from, but butchered the theme music and turned K.A.R.R. in a failed Michael Bay Summer B-"blockbuster".
Everytime they let it try again, it seems nobody actualyl tried and then efforts were made to make it appeal to people other than the fanbase. Reading old posts here in recent years, Universal held up a future film, tried to change it, make K.I.T.T. a non-talking car, etc.
They've waited too long, alienated many of the core fans, offered us deeply inferior quality scraps, and denied us what we wanted. The time has passed, Hasselhoff is too old to play the main lead -- they'll end up with an Indiana Jones son-like situation, or a hand-off to a new generation as the in-Developement-Hell "Ghostbusters 3" was to, and just re-hash elements of the failed TV series. In the meantime, the voice of K.I.T.T. will pass on, David will probably drink himself into a hospital, and one day the studio will launce a HORRIBLE filmatic re-boot, which they'll get Michael Bay to direct and Steve Jablonsky to score, and the twinkly vampire from those crappy films, to star in his E.M.O. 2000 vehicle.
At this point, I feel inside its 90% over. It would have to be something pretty damn BIG and respectful of the original series to even gain the appropriate interest level over all in the fanbase.
With that last series, they didn't just jump the shark, they turbo boosted over it.
i'm pretty sure when carrie shot mike it wasn't with a bullet it was with some sort of tranquilliser so i can see why he was bloodless, i may be wrong thoughkitt34 wrote:Although I Like the KR 2008 TV movie, your right about the rest, especially the premiere of KR 2008 and here's another at what's wrong with that new show 4 years ago, the final climatic sequence of that premiere was the one of the idiotic errors in recent tv history, michael knight jr gets shot down by the FBI, then wakes up later and he is bloodless and dry, i'm glad it was the end of the Knight Rider TV Franchise.tharpdevenport wrote:The iron isn't hot anymore.

You felt they jumped the shark? If anything, I think the failure of the new series was largely due to its understated plot lines. Something the old series was sometimes guilty of, too. It's just now, we expect more from our Sci Fi/Dramas. (Although the 2008 writer's strike no doubt had a lot to do with its cancellation as well.) I think the series would have done better if they had attempted to go farther with their villains and plot lines, and of course, did a little more quality control. They had the cast, they just didn't have the quality writing. Knight Two Thousand was ridiculously, unrealistically advanced for the 1980s. I would have expected the Knight Three Thousand do a lot more than what he sometimes did. (Though I understand why they didn't make him a full fledged sentient being like the did with the first K.I.T.T for realism's sake.)tharpdevenport wrote:With that last series, they didn't just jump the shark, they turbo boosted over it.
I think it's debatable that it ever was "hot". Meaning, there was a lot of interest in someone seeing it happen. What will need to happen is someone with the clout in Hollywood to become interested. A director who's had a few hits under his belt and who was most likely a fan as a kid. And with reboots and remakes all the rage, that seems way more probably than you might think. I mean, they're rebooting/remaking Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, The Munsters, The Lone Ranger, Highlander, Dark Shadows, Total Recall, Red Dawn and even Godzilla as major motion pictures, for Pete's sake! A Knight Rider movie just doesn't seem that far fetched to me anymore. Not even the possibility of them rebooting it again five years later.tharpdevenport wrote:The iron isn't hot anymore.
I'm going to say this once to all the complainers and naysayers: "Quit your whining! at least we got a season at all! instead of complaining, you should be grateful that at least we got a new series at all".tharpdevenport wrote:The iron's not hot on any of those, except possibly Godzilla. Just because something gets a film version re-boot, doesn't mean it's "hot", it just means the studio still gets sales from DVD and other merchandise, that makes it think a film version can capitalize on that success
I say except Godzilla, because I can't really speak for that as a whole. There still seems to be something of an interest among fans, and Godzilla never seems to die. It's probably a low temp setting on the iron, but it might be higher overseas. Overseas they original are loved, but I can't say for sure if they like, or hate the American takes. Hell, they probably hate the U.S. animated series.
And even when it is "hot", I can't think of a single time (off the top of my head), GOOD results came about. I think of:
"Men In Black II"
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
"Star Wars Episode [any after the originals]"
JJ "Star Trek" (which, for some reason, seemed to get some minor approval from even the older, living base)
"Jaws 3"
"Jaws 4"
Or such ["Winning!"]re-boots[/"Winning!"] as:
"Conan the Barbarian"
"The Day the Earth stood Still"
Soon to come: "Robocop"
