ShadowerV2 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Now THAT's an obscure name I didn't expect to hear again Yeah it looked pretty good back then. Imagine what they could do with todays effects. I always did like the whole "Power Armoured Vigilante" thing. Anyway the coolest thing about Knight Rider was that the car had a mind of its own. That's pretty much about it. Nowadays with all the spy movies about cars having laser cannons and what not. Of course there's Spyhunter coming up too... I think. Some day.....

Guvava Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) All this trans-am talk is making me wonder if GM will put out a new retro firebird body on 08 camaro chassis. Has anyone heard anything? Edited July 11, 2007 by Guvava Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Much of the discussion centers on licensing issues with the Trans Am name. If there is to be a new Firebird, the top of the line will probably be the Formula. (Firehawk's not known well enough AFAIK, even though it is the next step above Trans Am) New GTO based on new Camaro is considered much more likely. There's little chance of two new muscle car Pontiacs, so it'll be one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Currently slated for 2009) I was kinda thinking the movie would be something like Spyhunter too. The car will pwn so much ass on the highway etc. But i didn't know there's going to be a Spyhunter movie. Hmmmm.....interesting. The 2nd game sucked ass, especially the non-car missions.

Max Jenius Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 So whats the new capability of this new KITT? Laser cannon (boring...), Nitro boost (seen that...)...I bet even 007 car have more gadget than this new KITT. I prefer the Goliath than the trans-am. A full armoured semi truck painted in black ravaging the highway, now thats what I call fun. You have to look and talk like Garthe Knight to drive Goliath.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 MANIMAL!!! Besides, Blue Thunder already had its movie. Blue Thunder doesn't need to be re-done/re-told. Like Firefox, it's perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Yeah it looked pretty good back then. Imagine what they could do with todays effects. I always did like the whole "Power Armoured Vigilante" thing. I still remember my favourite scene from the pilot episode (which was available on VHS at one point). Super Force on his first mission comes across the baddies locked in a house. "I forgot my keys. *kicks door in* Oh, well." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry the lone wolf Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Does anybody remember the 90's spin-off Team Knight Rider? It featured a group of agents that used talking vehicles. They worked for F.L.A.G.(Foundation for Law & Goverment). The series ended on a cliff-hanger that revealed one of agents, Jenny, to be the illegitimate daughter of Michael Knight. http://www.teamknightrider.com/cast/cast.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugimon Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Its called Thunder in Paradise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunder_in_Paradise okay, after manimal, this is the show that needs a big remake. It's practically begging for one. I think Nick Cage would be awesome in hulk hogan's role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Force on his first mission comes across the baddies locked in a house. "I forgot my keys. *kicks door in* Oh, well." Man it's been such a long time since that show. Can't remember much of it. Just that he has a "shotgun" that fires a laser. A nightstick that fires a laser. And his eye piece that can not just fire a laser but use three beams to triangulate it. And there's a gattling gun in his bike! That show was cool even had aliens and psychics and all that. Oh Thunder in Paradise. I loved that show. The boat was so cool. Super Powered vehicle shows are so sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big F Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 LOL, if the Hoffster ain't in it, I don't wanna see no parts of it! As hes too old for the main part he could do a cameo as Knights dad or as Devon Myles, if he can do his English acent well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddsun1 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Too old? Nonsense! Why, that's the new trend in Hollywood, don't ya know: the 40+ crowd is refusing to "go quietly into the night," and turn over the reigns to younger generations of leading men and ladies. Lots of them seem to be stuck on this silly notion of trying to "live vigorously" like someone 15 or 20 years younger would be expected to. If Willis can still Live Free or Die Hard, if Stallone can still take on whole armies as John Rambo, if Reynolds can still don his pads and jersey to rush for The Longest Yard then by God, the Hoffster ought to be able to take the wheel with KITT again! Maybe they could throw Hasselhoff a bone, let him have the role of Devon Miles and mentor the "new" Michael Knight. In fact, considering Hollywood's penchant for token nods to the original stories & characters they so blatantly hack for their new movies, I'd bet on that very outcome, if this flick ever does make it to the big screen...

John Focker Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 As hes too old for the main part he could do a cameo as Knights dad or as Devon Myles, if he can do his English acent well enough. From Wiki: The character Devon Miles was murdered in the year 2000 by Thomas J. Watts, a released murderer working with members of the Seattle police to overthrow a gun ban in Knight Rider 2000 (1991 Sequel Movie). In short, Hoffster can't play Devon.

reddsun1 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 What? Can't play Devon you say? Pish Posh! Since when have previous chapters or already established storylines ever stopped the Hollywood hacks? There's no such thing as "canon" when there's money to be made!

MangledMess Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) screw airwolf, where's street hawk the movie? Eeeeh. Where's the A-Team movie? Aside from that, I'm gonna miss the 1982 TransAm. It'll be cool to see it in the new movie, but right now we gotta keep up with the time. That means there are sleeker cars to be used as KITT. ... UNLESS of course they turn the movie into another weird no-brainer action comedy(i.e. Charlie's Angels, Starsky and Hutch). Anyway, let's see how things goes!
