The only good thing about the 2008 remake of the campy 80’s TV show “Knight Rider” was the cameo from David Hasselhoff in the last 10 minutes. In this day and age, all the cool technology that went into the car is so old news. Anyone remember the TV show “Viper”? And Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT pales in comparison to the original KITT voiced by William Daniels. Frankly I don’t know if anyone made the connection, but Val sounds less like KITT and more like HAL from 2001 A Space Odyssey. And judging from how effortlessly KITT was hacked into makes me wonder if he might be running Windows Vista. Maybe they should have gone to Apple for the OS. The goofy pictures KITT displayed and “his” comments during the torturous driving scenes were so cheesy it made the 80’s version seem less campy.
Yes the new KITT (Knight Industries THREE Thousand) certianly pays for itself by not needing that expensive collision insurance and the great gas milage certianly is an advantage in these days of high prices at the pump. Did anyone count the number of Ford vehicles blatently shown? Unfortunately what they forgot to equip KITT with was a better plot and script.
This picture of Val Kilmer below is truly ___________ (fill in the blank).
