Knight Rider 2000 (1991)
Great to see Michael/Devon and KITT but feels like a lost opportunity
Knight Rider 2000 is a classic case of a scriptwriter taking what was great about the original show and throwing it all out of the window thus alienating the original fans of the show. What do the fans want to see in a TV Knight rider movie? Just my thoughts but we want Glen A Larson writing the story, the original theme music, the same chemistry between Michael and KITT, KITT in the original black Trans-am, Devon and Bonnie together again, KITT turbo boosting over cars, lorries, trains. By all means create some jeopardy in the storyline but give us the core elements which made us love the original show in the first place. Alas we get none of this. Instead we get a script with an more adult shift in tone with swearing and a story that whilst has some good ideas feels more appropriate in the Robocop universe, the original car destroyed, a sad end to a beloved character and limited action sequences no doubt due to budget constraints. On the plus side Mitch Pileggi is a very good villain albeit adding to the dark tone of the movie. It's just a shame this was the one and only opportunity for Michael/KITT and Devon to come together, a follow up movie written by the creator or someone who loved the original show could have really gave them all a proper send off.
