michelle Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 this is amt/ertl's early 2000's reissued kit of the Knight 4000 aka KIFT which Michael Knight yanked KIFT's ai micro processor and replaced it with the Knight 2000's ai micro processor aka KITT and also placed KITT's scanner into the nose of the Knight 4000 much to it's creator and designer Russell Maddock surprise and anger when he realized what Michael had done without his knowledge or permission which was fair cause Russell had deactivated KITT and sold some of his computer tech to research firms and had KITT's body recycled with out Devon miles knowledge or permission after being reactivated KITT after 10 years and finding out his body and monitor was gone became pretty sassy with his responses but was still the same personality KITT had had prior and KITT still had his humanity even though he was not human I have the Knight Rider 2000 theme by Jan hammer playing in the background of the video I used my custom made Knight Rider 2000 figures to replicate the ending scene from the movie as bast as I could 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you as for the red color for KITT’s new body in the 1991 tv movie knight rider 2000 it was originally going be black and have similar rims to the ones used on KITt and have KITT’s original gull wing steering wheel and voice modulator and the body looked far more closer to the 1988 Pontiac banshee concept car but disagreements with the original knight rider creator glenn a Larson ment they had to nix using the original KITT design and the network had plans to make this into a pilot movie for a new knight rider show that had Shawn replace Michael knight as KITT’s partner and driver and wanted it red both to attract the female viewing audience over the male viewing audience as they would have a strong female lead the viewing numbers for the pilot film were good but not good enough to warrant a series and even David went to the execs and suggested doing five knight rider 2000 tv movies a year and he would be willing to come back to guest star in all of them or a few of them if they did not interfere with the production of the show he currently was the lead on at the time that was at it’s hight in popularity baywatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
