Has anyone noticed that they used the same scene in "An indecent little town" as they used in the pilot? where kitt crashes throuh a jail wall to free Micheal?

Yep...

If you watch episodes a little closer, you'll notice reused footage in many episodes. They actually had David Hasselhoff wear a red turtle-neck for that episode to keep continuity with the reused pilot footage.

That's why Michael wears the same red t-shirt. It's pretty cheesy.

There are a lot of scenes like that in Knight Rider. It was obviously cheaper to reuse footage wherever possible than shoot it again, although sometimes it meant really glaring mistakes, if you know where to look.

Eg, two in Trust Doesn't Rust. Near the beginning when we see Michael driving KITT there's a closeup of KITT's dash with Michael's hands on the wheel, and he has red sleeves poking out from his leather jacket. The infamous red turtleneck strikes again. In the next shot when we see Michael's face and body, he's wearing a blue shirt, not red.

Later when KARR is ramming into a building (a bank?) you see an interior shot of KARR driving himself up to the building, but it's actually an early shot of KITT driving himself, since you can see the early KNIGHT 2000 wording on the voice modulator.

Maybe it's the same scene, but hey, sometimes cheessiness works!

yep it's definitely the same scene. i could tell just from the previews. i actually watched that one last night.

I agree totally, as far as Knight Rider goes, the cheese is definitely a plus factor.

Let me tell you from my own experience (not that I'm married to a car but sometimes it seems like it!) - If you marry a car, it'll be a relationship of you work hard and earn the money, and he spends it.

very true! i could argue the same about some guys too.

Heh heh, well technically it would be, "'she' spends it." Cars are generally referred to as females with common phrases like: "Come on baby," "She's dyin' on me," "I hope she's gonna make it," etc.

yeah i noticed this too

I think that's Glen Larson's trademark. He did the exact same thing to Battlestar Galactica ( not the new one on SciFi, but the old '70s series with Lorne Greene ).

I dare you to walk up to Dryden and call him a 'she'. Then again, he'd probably just sit there staring at you.

But not on a Knight Rider board, lol

Exceptions to that would be if the car has a personality of its or "his" own.

I think a lot of cars have their own personality traits of sorts. You just got to be quite close to them to understand them, even though they can't talk.

But I can imagine if someone called KITT a "She"...

KITT: "I beg your pardon!"

LOL!

My roomate would strongly agree. she says the same about her car. i cant say the same about mine, but i think thats because i always end up having to share its and its not "truly" mine.

And i think K.I.T.T would be highly offended if someone called him a "she" especially with how proud he is of himself.

So true!
