Exciting car scenes highlight this second episode of the Knight Rider series as former undercover cop Michael Long is now Michael Knight (The Hoff), hoping to intervene in the plans of Tanya Walker and William Benjamin (Phyllis Davis and Noel Conlin), who were responsible for his shooting which resulted in cosmetic surgery to his face. Tanya and William hope to seize microfilm containing industry secrets of a company called Comtron. Demolition derby, KITT breaking Knight out of prison by driving through a cell wall (!), KITT ejecting Knight from the car to a bridge, and KITT driving through a hauler truck trailer (!) are among the coolest moments. Hilarious bar fight never shows Michael land a punch but it is edited to feature a bunch of barflies going through tables or being thrown to the floor! KITT wanting Knight's respect and genuinely concerned for his safety when he is shot in the shoulder are endearing. Lance LeGault is a hired goon for William but he proves ineffective while flying a chopper tailing Knight, bleeding from the gunshot wound, trying to help his cohorts steal the microfilm. KITT even clips a private plane wing to stop them from carrying off! Amazing car for sure. Charlie Napier guest stars as a derby opponent and barfight participant. Edward Mulhare does his supporting turn as Knight Foundation operations manager. Pamela Stoop and Barret Oliver guest star as mother and son respectively. Oliver is the kid with powers in Twilight Zone the Movie.

KNIGHT OF THE PHOENIX PART 2 is the second-ever episode of the popular KNIGHT RIDER TV series and much better than its predecessor. That's because this episode has all of the ingredients that made the show such a success, including car racing, crazy car stunts, humour between man and car, and even a bar-room brawl thrown in to the mix. Charles Napier turns up as a hoodlum, David Hasselhoff is alternatively tough and wounded, and KITT steals the show.

You've got to love this show. From the theme music to the way over the top all action plot. Good guys v bad guys etc.

There is no subtly on display here, it's just 80s style entertainment.

Very enjoyable and hilarious in parts. Ejector seat on to the roof! Come on. No one survives a head on with a semi, lol!

As Michael and KITT get to know each other there. They enter into a demolition race for charity and in the bar fight as Michael says he is trained in martial arts and kicks everybody butts.

He lands in jail and Devon his new boss and Kitt break him out. While trying to get on those who tried to kill him as a cop and the woman villain played by Phyllis Davis tries to do so again, it backfires. BTW she also along with the other villains killed Michael's PD partner there.

So it ends with them heading to prison or death. And Michaels and Devon go start of a beautiful relationship there. And a great start!
