K.I.T.T. From The KNIGHT RIDER Movie?? Or, Bored Fans With Photoshop??
Merrick here...
Okay, folks -- take this one with a BIG grain of salt. But, we kind of have to go here....
Both TikkiMotel and butt-guru (I'm not sure I want to know exactly what a "butt guru" is, although it would be a fantastic name for either a rock group or a porn DVD) sent in this picture.
It was found AT THIS LOCATION. The person posting the image says that this represents a developmental design for K.I.T.T. in the KNIGHT RIDER movie we're starting to hear about. Notice the lack of reflectivity on the surface around K.I.T.T.'s Cylon eye? Hmmmm....
Last week, it was reported that The Hoff will actually be appearing in this film & asked Orlando Bloom to play his son....a notion on which Orlando didn't seem particularly keen.
Longtime readers of the site may remember my shameful preoccupation with this particular Hasselhoff video...
...which I feel fully emobdies the breadth of Hoff's capabilities. I hope this portends a KNIGHT RIDER theme song, maybe from The Hoff himself!? Perhaps a man-and-car power balad? Or, maybe rap style -- with William Daniels' K.I.T.T. voice scratching in the background? "Michael! My...My... My...Michael!"
UPDATED: Of course, this video may be far more appropriate!
In all seriousness, if anyone out there knows anything about the legitimacy of this image...or the status of the KNIGHT RIDER movie project in general... please E-MAIL ME! I'd love to hear from you...

like in Knight Rider 2000...
-
Thats a regular Saleen, I believe. Photoshopped...but definitely nothing original.
-
that would be kick ass!
-
David Hasslehoff is not properly medicated. The show wasn't even very good and survived on being camp....in the 80's. If this actually ends up getting made I'll be morbidly impressed.
-
when this project gets off the ground and the fans boys get buthurt over the treatment of a second rate 80's television show (IE: Transformers). "Dude, that's not the way kit looked. Oh man they changed Micheal Knight into a girl!" You know, shit like that.
-
I'm the KNIGHT... So I'll chime in here.... More than likely, the image is fake but now I'm looking forward to seeing what the real car will look like.. -_-
-
The dude cant act for shit and the only reason why hes so hyped up is his attraction to 12 year old girls and the fact he was in pirates and LOTR. Lets see him as a leading man in his own film and see how well it does.
-
They'd let KITT be a Swedish car? No way.
-
nor is he covered in metallix spines.
-
Throw in some horribly bad pop tunes from Jessica Simpson, Taylor Hicks and John Mayer and you're set.
-
I dont care much for the film but that music video is one of the funnyest things ive seen in awhile.
-
....at one point he's singing '..you turn me on..' as the camera zooms on the two children zipping about with crappy angel wiongs. Bad timing or a hint at a darker, sicker Hoff....? You decide. I have.
-
But does K.I.T.T. have the Top Gear rear wing installed?
-
All this ironic love the internet has for him, making him out to be a superstar etc is insane.
-
They're going the comedic route with it, a la Charlie Angels. The premise is to have an uptight, neurotic (translation: white) protagonist who through a twist of fate becomes KITTs new driver. Here's where the reimagining comes in: the voice of KITT will now be (as I've heard it put) "hip, street-smart, and urban". They're hoping to get Ludacris to do it. Of course, the car will teach its new driver some valuable lessons about being a man (note the clever irony). The Hoff will reportedly play the villian; another step in the self-cheesiness embracing,William Shatner phase of his career.
-
please tell me you're kidding. That's a horrible idea, a rape of my childhood, and a perpetuation of no talent rappers becoming no talent actors. The Dukes of Hazzard movie sucked because they took that approach.
-
is probably the most laughably disturbing video..I have ever seen. I can't wait for the sequel.
-
Now if they'll just make a fuckin A-Team movie my life will be MOTHERFUCKING COMPLETE!!! That would be complete and total nirvana!
-
That video is reason #2,309 why Hasselhoff is the biggest douchebag on the planet, a position long held by Tommy Lee until The Hoff's recent re-emergence. The thing is, you want to believe that he does all this with his tongue in his cheek, self-aware of how bad everything he does is. But no. Watch him on a talk show or something. He honestly thinks he is quite the talented artiste. The man wanted to take credit for helping bring down the Berlin Wall with his music, for God's sake, a claim which actually may have some merit, as I would probably tear down a giant concrete wall too in an attempt to escape one of his concerts. Hmmmmm, I wonder if this video has any military applications. Broadcast this over the Al Jazeera Network and we'll have a peaceful Iraq within 48 hours. Anyway, back on topic. Knight Rider: The Movie. The series was fun when you were a kid in the 80's. Now, all growns up, it's impossible to watch, much like my once beloved A-Team. But go ahead, Hollywood. Keep churning these bullshit remakes and re-imaginings out. Someone must be paying money to see this shit because you keep making them. My ass, however, will not be among those parked in a theater seat for this.
-
No, because if you look close you can see the gaffer tape on the front bumper.
-
You mean, they want Ben Stiller to star in it? If they were going that route, it'd be funny with Steve Carell. Kitt: "Mike, you know how I know you're gay?"
-
As hey speed up to turbo boost over a train blocking their path. KITT says, "Michael we ain't gonna make it! I'm tellin ya, dog!" Michael reponds, "Why, yes, we will, KITT. As a former race car driver that was injured in a race and secretly recruited by the Foundation, you must learn to trust me," and presses Turbo Boost on the dash. They sail over the train, and Michael says, "See? I told you we would make it, didn't I?" KITT responds, "Aww, maaan. Ni**a, fuck you..."
-
I mean, I loved it, sure. I think the final 10 secs are the best, featuring a giant fish in Hoff's mouth and some fuckin freak with gigantic eyeballs. As for the Knightrider movie.. do u REALLY care?
-
It's FUCKING Knight Rider, bitch!
-
Heh.
-
yeah boi

Corrected, then,

Do you even need to put odds on what would walk away from that battle?
-
You know you want it.
-
McG knows the right level of ludicrous furiousness to make it fun, but if Mann did it gritty it would be funnier. I think he is busy working on his dark version of Police Academy though.
-
New trailer? Whatchathink?
-
Give it a chance to develop, man! But for anyone not sure about the veracity of my last post, yeah I was kidding. But I'm guessing the final product won't be too different from my little parody.
-
...he can so do this part.
-
I'm talkin bout, tribute
-
Its terrible, its quite recent, look on youtube, called 'Jump In My Car' like a bad musical number, with him looking like a paedo picking up some girl young enough to be his granddaughter. Brilliantly bad.
-
"Kick his ass Michael"... "Want another drink for the road Michael"... "I could take Optimus in a fight"
-
According to Today's News at cinescape, the guy who created 'Supernatural' "is currently working on an update of The A-Team for The CW". This one's evidently not a joke.
-
You know you want it.
-
Michael, Go fuck yourself, I'm driving from now on... No minibar for you Michael, don't you remember what happened last time... Michael, you're going back to rehab... Michael, Here's your fucking turbo boost right here...
-
... channeling Geena Davis from The Long Kiss Goodnight ... "Suck My Dick!" Because everyone knows its cool to have women and objects without dicks say suck my dick.

is indeed amazing. You must see it: google haselhoff jump in my car now please.

Sweet Sassy Jesus. That Hoff video was...I don't know
by 'Cholera's Ghost
But I couldn't take my eyes off it. Thank you, Merrick. That was a gut buster. A ray of pure sunshine.
-
booooooooo, and those of you who are still fans should be ashamed of yourselves. The only way they could make a good movie of knight rider is if they did make it like the new dukes of hazzard movie (we all know the tv show dukes of hazzard was fucking unbeliably ridiculous redneck brain farting at its best'
-
Big time. The Trans-Am ruled.
-
I'm speechless with awe after viewing that video (seventeen times). Is there no limit to this man's talents? And remember, The Hoff is the man who ended the Cold War and united a continent through the power of his music. I'm going to meet him next Tuesday *shivers with anticipation*
-
...just ask the White Stripes, the Kaiser Chiefs, She Wants Revenge, the Subways, the Strokes and the Hives. I'm sure at least one of them will have an answer.
-
Joshua Jackson. It would be a perfect star vehicle for him, I am still waiting for this guy to explode.
-
And i'm not joking. So damn funny and entertaining. I couldn't take my eyes off of it, and i've probably watched it a dozen times before this. The Hoff reminds me a bit of Shatner now. He only exists for people to laugh at, and is ok with it.
-
The REAL Hoff is the multi-talented star of Knight Rider and the rock god of Europe. You all know who's got the real talent.
-
obvious
-
It took this long for somebody to say it? Frack this shite. :)

-
nice going with the original link...oh AICN why not do more research before posting fake pics? let's see some more black-suit spider-man!!
-
Its hard to come up with one more assinine, isnt it.
-
You know it.
-
Totally not interested especially if David Hasselhoff is going to be in it. The star of Knightrider was KITT anyway.
-
I could really dig a great Knight Rider film though. Make it fun and I do kinda like the idea of Owen Wilson playing an ex-con/crazy guy behind the wheel of KITT.
-
Or at least someone who looks like him...Or at least someone who is as hairy as him...Or at least
-
Seriously man, too soon. This movie, if made, will Hoff-tacular, and hopefully feature a cameo by the Hoffmeister himself, singing "Du." Make it so.

That's the realest real thing I ever did see! And...
by JackPumpkinhead
...and I've been looking for freedom, I've been looking so long, and I found this sweet car now, black and big as a schlong! But seriously: who would actually give a shit if a Knight Rider movie WAS made and a real picture WAS leaked? Hasselhoff and, uh, his car maybe? That's not enough of a target audience.
-
The weapon of Michael Bay's Pepepewbot.
-
If they're publishing fanpics. If you needed a story that bad why not go with Charisma Carpenter in the running for Wonder Woman?
-
Aisde from the underground music scene, the 80s was a screaming fucking nightmare. Why anyone would want to bring that crap back completely escaps me. Time to generate your own zeitgeist children! Can you do it? Can you dare to be new, different, and exciting? Or is it more retro ironic distancing until the end of time? I weep for you.
-
...is that everyone knows that Firefly is pretty much a direct ripoff from Cowboy Bebop anyway... I mean seriously... "But MAAaaaarrge, its Knight Boat! The CRIME SOLVING boat!"
-
the light/mouth thingy is off-kilter (i.e not the right angle) it's only a little off, but you can tell. just look at it, ignoring the rest of the image.
-
Passed a sign outside Woolworths - and David Hasselhof is indeed coming to Woolworth's in Croydon tomorrow (Thursday) lunchtime to sign copies of "Making Waves". David Hasselhof. Croydon.
-
It's next Thursday, the 14th. Not tomorrow. And Hasselhoff has a double f.
-
Four points to make: The koenigsegg can't be the new K.I.T.T, because if the Stig can't control it, no fucker can! As long as there isn't any super pursuit mode, turning the car into a dodgy looking bus, it's fine with me. I don't care how camp, cheesy or how seriously he takes himself, the Hoff's the man! Chris Rock should be KITT's voice telling everyone thats listening that he keeps getting parking tickets because he's a black motherfuckin car!
-
The idea of adapting this cheese-fest from the 80's, which I enjoyed as a kid, into a big budget movie is so ludicrous that it would only work as a Starsky and Hutch type take on the premise.
-
...it worked for Miami Vice!
-
You could cast Kal Penn as Michael and let KITT have the voice of his buddy from White Castle... "Dude, that 911 Turbo over there is totally an PILF!!"
-
Ow ow ow! Those videos HURT!
-
It looks cool. I'd watch that if they got a decent Michael Knight. Maybe David Boreanaz?
-
It'll be different. The first TV show movie remake that uses the actor from the original series. Hasselhoff can still be cool. We also need a new Chuck Norris movie.
-
No arguments possible on this one folks.
-
Brandon Lee was in talks to do a sequel to The Crow before he died. Ive just found that out on wipikedia. Fucking shame that. Dont know how they would of pulled it off with Eric completeing his mission and all that, but I always wondered what would of happend next in the series had he not died?....Knight Rider is cool by the way.
-
There ya go! with Dakota Fanning.
-
No TV show movie remake can star Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn.
-
Written by Joss Whedon. Charisma Carpenter as KITT's mechanic. Anthony Head as the director of whatever crimefighting organization created KITT in the first place.
-
is how you can't fuckin spell or get the show's name right. It ain't that tough.
-
I give you "Misfits of Science."
-
played by Will Smith. That would be the fuckin shit. Get Jerry Bruckheimer to produce, too.
-
Alas, it's run was too short. Same with Sledgehammer. That show died to damn early.
-
Hey, first insult retort I've gotten at AICN. Maybe I should have tried harder before. The only thing good about Misfits was the eye candy factor of a 20 year old Courtney Cox.
-
I still agree with Will Smith = Michael Knight.
-
KITT will be a robot that looks just like us that can tranform into the crimefighting car above!
-
Will a cyclon be flying, er, driving it?
-
Yeah, Will Smith as Michael Knight might make it worth seeing!
-
...that it should be a comedy. If this was dark, with a Batman Begins flavor to it, it would totally be cool. I dunno about putting the Hoff in it for more than a cameo, though.
-
You know at some point they'd find a way to write the line "black as Knight" into the script. =P
-
Not only was Small Wonder one of the worst TV shows ever produced, but if you think about the premise, it's actually kind of disturbing---almost a pedophiles wet dream. Think about it: a zany family-man-scientist creates his very own little robot girl, keeps her in a closet, obediently obeys the family's and his young son's every command and can shut 'her' down by turning off a switch in a panel on 'her' back. Ugh. The premise itself makes me want to go take a shower.
-
If Michael Bay were to direct, he'd try to make the girl anorexic, have wires & metal pipe poke out of her skin, and cover her in tattoos. lol
-
Ironic nostalgia for Hasselhoff went out with Clinton. These are new times. DANGEROUS times. Times that cry out for ONE MAN: Rex Smith! Yes, ol' Street Hawk himself. The power of the mullet 'fro COMPELS YOU!!!!
-
They should do a comedy remake starring Will Ferrell... or maybe Tim Meadows? lol
-
it'll be ok, just as long as they keep the theme song. i'll be content!

I'm a child of the 80's and I remember Sunday nights on NBC were this young geek's idea of heaven, aside from a fantasy menage including Heather Locklear and Valerie Bertinelli, was the double whammy of Amazing Stories followed by Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
-
I could Photoshop that in about 5 minutes and make it look hella awesome!
-
Has that Alien vs. Predator quality vibe, doesn't it?
-
as a guilty pleasure.
-
Dammit, double posted, my bad. You know you want that show back! Actually, the eagles were very cool. PS that photo is fake, I know cause adnan hajj took it and reuters ran it!
-
...is an idiot.
-
Edward Norton.
-
I have to get me that shirt! And glad to know others have heard about that other epic known as 'AutoMan'! That show rocked!
-
I seem to remember a made for TV movie where Kitt became a more modern red Firebird or something. All I remember is that even as a high school kid I thought it was awful and I remember that Kitt could be a boat too...
-
and I think it's actually 38 year old virgin lving in parents basement with access to photoshop and too much time on his hands.
-
A throwaway item on the Hollywood Reporter site, but it's on the radar and it will happen, apparently: http://tinyurl.com/pqlqp
-
I like the new Kitt car. They should have put in a flashing red cyclon red light. I wonder if Battlestar G ever sued them over it being a ripoff and all. Of course BS was a ripoff of Star Wars which was another ripoff of Dark fortress and so on ando so on....
-
This was the reunion movie with the exception of either the three mechanics from he tv series, just Devon Miles in little more than a cameo before his demise. The body they used was based on a the Pontiac Banshee concept, as GM wouldn't allow them to use that car, they had too many "I want the knight Rider car" requests from the old tv series. I could see the Camaro body be the basis for a new T/A.
-
don't think i have to say much else.

There's just something great about DH that we Americans aren't getting. Something edgy and cool. Something, dare I say, majestic?

a Wes Anderson Knight Rider movie, that is all
-
Jabbering magpie? Ooooo, I'm so offended. Nice sense of humor, guy.
-
"I'M MICHAEL KNIGHT, BROTHER!!!"
-
30 minutes into the movie: Michael and KITT chase the bad guy's plane on the runway, but at the last minute, the plane takes off. Michael yells, and slams on the brakes, skidding out. Michael gets out of KITT in slow motion as the camera pans around the car, showing the red eye moving back and forth, then focusing on Knight from a low angle as he gets up and gives a tough look off into the distance. ................. You know you want to see that, bitches!
-
That is absolutely necessary.
-
again, and still not be gay, right? Even if I sweat a little whenever he stares right at the camera. Right? I mean, maybe I'm simply hooked on a feelin'.
-
With the Hoff and the original KITT. That's all there is to it. Match made in Heaven- obviously the Hoff fancies himself as a knowing comedic musical act ala Tenacious D ______ And allow me a moment to register my incredulity but Hasselhoff actually covered the Australian revhead classic "Jump in my Car"?????? I am still reeling.
-
"Oooo I'm so offended," like an 8 year old, any day out of the fuckin week, lardass.
-
Any mention of that show elicits a quality snicker. Same with Automan . . they need to make a Matt Houston movie, dig up Lee Horsley and that hot chick CJ . . that broad was yummy!!
-
WTF? But he has a certain ... Presence ... that I can't deny.
-
Now that was camp at its finest. ;)
-
I agree with whoever suggested Will Ferrell as Knight. He'd be hilarious.
-
Why not?
-
Why? I mean, Will Ferrell's basic character is a pretentious, pompous blowhard who deludedly believes he's better-looking and hipper than everyone else, while Hasselhoff . . . oh, I see.
-
Gus, that brings back nice memories of Gerry Anderson's work - that, Thunderbirds, even UFO.
-
dir. by Michael Bay, Produced By Jerry Bruckheimer, starring...david hasselhoff...i'm soooo drunk right now
-
That first post was a fuckin joke. Again, so was the second. Are you that fuckin sensitive, you pathetic bitch? You're about the biggest bitch I've seen on these talkbacks!
-
... "My insult beats your insult any day of the week!" What a bitch.
-
Knight Rider belongs in the hands of a second rate director that at least has a sense of style and blows shit up good like Michael Bay.
-
... of the first film. The first is really a setup movie, exploring the background of the characters. Michael and KITT should take on a baddie, and win, but the baddie is rescued at the very end by who else, but KARR. Then KARR plays a major role in the second and third films of the Knight Rider Trilogy. Fuck yeah, then we get the extended editions on DVD.
-
sayin "Bitch" went out around the time we all stopped watching "Swingers" you Aesop Fable.
-
the flames are at yet?
-
I need to pay more attention.
-
WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE TIMOTHY DALTON/ JAMES BOND FIGURINE!!!! HAHAHAHAHA... That is absolutely ridiculous. I thought the Sean Connery one was bad, but come on man, that 007 looks like Jabba The Hutt
-
If Ron Moore is somehow involved with the Knight Rider movie you can bet that he stole something from Firefly to pull it off!!!
-
I'd write the movie by introducing a new Michael Knight...with the name being an alias that is passed on from one driver of the car to another. But whatever the story, Tom Cruise is...The Knight Rider!!!
-
All the fucking matters man, all that fucking matters.
-
"... when we all stopped watching Swingers"? Really? Did all of us ever start watching? Fuckin pathetic.
-
You fuckin cockknocker. Aesop Fable ... priceless. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
-
Kill two birds with one stone.
-
The hoff was covering an old aussie song on that last clip, called Jump In My Car, by the Ted Mulry Gang from around the mid '70's. great song, which the hoff pretty much covered exactly the same as the original (though Ted didn't use K.I.T.T., I think it was an old GM holden...) I like how the hoff tries to convince the girls that they'll get home "nice and dry" if they take the lift in his convertible...
-
I have proof - here is the original picture copy and paste this http://www.desktopmachine.com/cars/46-Koenigsegg%20wallpapers.html
-
and the worst show of all time: Baywatch Nights, or My Family- about as funny as a parking ticket.
-
BETWEEN A CYLON & KITT????DIDNT THEY USE THE SAME LED GIMMICK! LOL I LOVE GLEN>A>LARSON!!! ROLFMAO
-
... you got's some MAD Google skills! I bow to the master...
-
I know, you like it right.. fuckin chump.
-
Just wish it weren't fake!!!
-
He was pretty cool in Sponge Bob too. I
-
You know, even though the show is very dated now and does come off as 80's style cheese...I would love to see a retooled modern day more serious sci-fi action film version. I mean, they could retain all the high points of the show (K.I.T.T. and Michael's relationship, Bonnie, Devon and the Foundation for Law and Goverment, the roving Knight Semi) but instead of crazy truckers on strike or angry motorcylce gangs being the heavies, they could just have Michael's enemies from his previous life tracking him down or have K.A.R.R. I'm tired of the 80's t.v. remakes being jokes. Make one and take it seriously. If there ever was a t.v. show from the 80's that deserved a big screen serious treatment its KNIGHT RIDER and QUANTUM LEAP.
-
And this movie will be fine. Personally, I'd like to see a real actor on this like Jude Law or Christian Bale.
-
That Kitt has the steering wheel on the other side!!! WTF!
-
The above poster is correct, that is a Koenigsegg CCX. However it would be right that KITT is not an American car as America is the automotive dustbin of the world. He would have turbo boost, but be totally outwitted by a corner.
-
but why would KITT need to navigate corners? All "he" has to be able to do is jump in slow motion and impersonate a cylon.
-
OMFG anchorite ... lmfao ;p
