Trust Doesn't Rust

Hey, I feel rather embarrassed. It seems that KITT vs KARR (season 3) isn't the debut of KARR like I had hoped. "Trush Doesn't Rust" marks KARR's first appearance in season 1. This was the one I prefer. It's the episode where KARR is accidently re-activated in an abandoned warehouse. :oops:

In fact, it is the first episode which K.A.R.R. was featured. However, pretty sucky how the car at the end seems to explode but it comes back in Season 3... How did they rebuild it... hmmm....

The production crew didn't actually drive KARR out over a cliff, they used an old footage from another movie to create that scene. It was a totally different car too, and an ugly one at that. A picture of that car can be seen in another thread on this board.

Trust Doesn't Rust is also the second book that came out in the Knight Rider Series. It seems to stick pretty much to the show that aired.

i know the feeling!! never saw scent of roses as a kid, and when bravo started showing it i must've missed it quite a few times (although one time it WAS on on christmas eve which is always far too busy for tv lol!) until i got a chance to finally see it! such a shame i ended up accidentally finding out what happened beforehand tho as i woulda liked to have seen how the producers wanted the show to end originally and keep it as a surprise... but that still didn't stop me from shutting my mate brian up for an hour to watch it before we went out that night lol! :D

No I didn't think they would have done that... why spend that extra money for nothing.... :P However, the producers should have thought things through before making us believe that K.A.R.R. was gone... evil always comes back as it did in K.I.T.T. vs K.A.R.R.

You know KnightRiderGirl, I felt for Michael in a Scent of Roses - Michael leaving the foundation and marrying Stevie. Damn, if I would have been in Michael's shoes, I would have killed every single one of them who took revenge on poor Stevie. It's one thing to have a mad car, but it's another thing when your new love gets shot at her own wedding. In real life, this would lead everyone on a killing rampage... :x

In my opinion, the producers wanted KARR to be destroyed at the end of Trust Doesn't Rust. But because the fans really enjoyed that episode (hense the immense TV rating), they brought KARR back from the grave in KITT vs. KARR. It really was difficult for the scriptwriters to reintroduce KARR because he exploded upon impact after falling off the cliff.

Yes that's true, a few episodes into Knight Rider and now you've got 2talking cars... It's enough to improve the listener ratings of the new show....
