KITT thanks you for watching! For your chance to win your own self-driving car; the Tesla Model S Plaid & support a great cause, enter at omaze.com/retrorecipies. And remember, one man can make a difference…
OMG !! I just saw this again with my nephew 😳.. and he say to me: ... "How come nobody says anything about this guy being drive around, and in the frisking high way, by his Tesla Car. 🤯 Like if he was Michael Night for real, and on a real Knight Rider!!!!!!! " 🤯🤯🤯 ... Damn, the future is here!! and we do not even notice 😳😳..
Hi Christian! Great video, I would love to visit these locations as well. I think the area where the 'secret door' was supposed to be was actually shown at 27:12 in your video, the bit of wall with the control tower 'thingy' above it. If you watch the episode again, when Michael comes out of the door a guy throws the grenade at him from this control tower. I think the area you show as being where the door was (at 27:25) is at the other end of the dam on the other side (with no control tower above it).

@@SpoiledBratSARA1979 That would be my good lady wife, Ladyfractic
I'm 51 years old and enjoyed that a lot more than i thought i would. Brought quite a few smiles to my old English face.
My 51 year old Scottish face too.
@@alogie My 51 year old Scouse face too!
Ladyfractic as Bonnie is a perfect casting choice!
Next episode: Perifractic rents a Bell 222 helicopter and tracks down the filming locations for Airwolf.
Yessss!
Now that did have the best theme music of all time 😁
@@RetroRecipes Only someone from Star Wars can pull this off 😲 ... Clearly The Force is with you Christian 😁 .... Now put a monkey suit to the dog. 🤔 Get red and white Kenworth K100 Aerodyne 😎 .. An Your All Set for the next episode Mr "Billie Joe McKay-fractic" 😯
A-Team is another must!
@@JMDAmigaMusic I think the point of this video is to show how that future is a bit here today 🤨... No one seems to notice or pays attention to the fact that Christian, is being transported everywhere by his Tesla today ... just like Michael Knight by KITT back then 🤯..
This show was my childhood, and the first fandom I was a part of. I still cherish the memories. You made me feel like a kid again with this video. Thank you for this and all your other wonderful works!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am now 51 years old. And watched the knight rider when I was a teenager. This is very interesting to watch. Timeless and always enjoyable to watch.. keep the good work up on your location finding. 👍.
There’s a picture of me with a goofy grin standing next to a replica KITT, all I could say was “It’s KITT”! I’m with you on Junk Yard Dog, I love the heart to heart chat Michael has with KITT about how he felt after being shot in Knight of the Phoenix (also a favourite). Loved this episode, it put a big smile on my face.
😲CRIKEY... at 8:53 when K.I.T.T. arrived towards you, I would have fainted.. blimey that was freaky and amazing all in one.. ! This was a fantastic video and loved every moment.. and when K.I.T.T. arrives with the windows tinted so no one knows there isn't a person driving.. that was just awesome... loved everything.. thank you!!!
This guy is a Knight Rider geek (just like me) and I love it!
Great job, that was so much fun to watch! Ah the memories, I remember sitting in a KITT they had on display in a mall. Think I still have a picture of it on an old polaroid. Going to have to look for it now lol.
The nostalgia flakes are strong in this one. Good episode Christian
Oh my god, this was absolutely EPIC! What a nice episode, Perifractic! Thank you so much for bringing back the good childhood memories! 😍
Loved Knight Rider completely as a kid. Still a great show now, truly stood the test of time. Spent many weeks recoding the theme tune onto cassette, to endlessly playback in bedroom, closing my eyes and wanting to believe I was driving K.I.T.T. Great repisode, absolutely loved it!! 😍
Yep I have 3 sets of the box sets on DVD still watching them today. Your right that music was great. They don't make any shows today better than Knight Rider loved Devons accent.
Outdid yourself again Perifractic! Amazing and thank you for the trip down memory lane. I had forgotten how cool the interior was, I remember seeing the car once at a car show in the 80s along with the Batmobile and Adam West was there! I remember them fixing something inside and they even had the "prop tools" made up to look futuristic and high tech. You keep stirring up all these old memories. And of course I want one too! 😆
Best TV intro and intro music of all time, great and funny edit. Why can't they make something as good as this anymore? And I wasn't "into" Knight Rider, although I watched it. Watching these old episodes, I'm totally pulled into the story in seconds.
Still one of the best intros.
DUDE, Star Wars AND Elizabeth? I salute you!
I kid you not, when I saw KITT in this video...I got goosebumps.
Man...what a video! Thank you very much for sharing.
KITT remains the sexiest car/A.I.
Glad you liked it!!
That was brilliant guys, I was only saying to my wife how brilliant TV was back in the 80s with the likes of Knight Rider and A Team etc. compared to the absolute trash we get in the UK today. Thank god we have TH-cam 👍
Dr. Who and Father Ted had to be an island in the abyss, right? (a yank that spent near-a-decade in the Uk.) Now, granted, '80s UK tele was nothing special. But, I mean, there was good tele on in the '80s to '00s even if it didn't come from Canada or the US, right? I mean, lemme tell-ya, I could watch all the DS9 and Friends I wanted oversees, but I couldn't get a glimpse of Red Dwarf in the States.
So many flashbacks to my tween years! Thank you for taking us to these iconic locations.
One of my favorite childhood shows. I absolutely loved it and still do. Fantastic work done to put this video together. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nostalgia level through the roof for this episode! Great stuff!!
Awesome video brings back happy memories, I loved how kitt changed when in super pursuit mode...The Hoff rules. I now want to watch Kightrider again
I remember watching Knight Rider on TV. I used to love it as a kid. Brings back memories.
Perfect stuff Perri. Thank you for reminding me how it was to watch Knight rider.
Thank you for sharing your experiences on Knight Rider. I love the music, and the wooh wooh sound he makes the most. Your family is beautiful also
That was great mate, very fun video that made me smile! Awesome to see these locations, excellent stuff!
Totally enjoyed watching this video. You did an amazing job and I'm sure it took a lot of work to film and edit. Nice to see KITT show up too! Last time I saw the car was in 1989 at Universal Studios.
Thanks for recognising the (admittedly fun) work here. 👍🕹️
That was soooooo amazing great work. I to remember kitt eating cheerios as a kid. Thanks for taking me back to those days.👍👍
Just subscribed, awesome channel :) Gotta rewatch Knight Rider someday again.
Brilliant!! Thank you for another fantastic... or is that retrotastic video!
Great job on the Intro, overall awesome episode. Thank you very much for making this for us to watch and enjoy.
My pleasure!
What a great episode and I fully appreciate what you were doing lining up the shots. I've done the same thing with many filming locations in the past with the Jaws locations on Martha's Vineyard being my favourite. Speaking of Jaws, I'd have to say that Fright Knight was my favourite episode of Knight Rider when I was a kid for obvious reasons. =)
Nice! Fright Knight is my next favourite. I’m sure I’ll do another of these and seek out those locations. Maybe for Halloween!
Some exterior scenes of Christine were filmed in Newhall and don't forget the original trailer park of The Last Starfighter that should be deep down east in Soledad Canyon
What a blast! Especially loved the Intro and Context. Great Job! And very fitting with the Tesla "lottery".
Christian (Perifractic), Very Well done! I am also 51 years old... and remember all of those old KR episodes. I saw them all when they were first run! Excellent work! I live here in Florida and there are two companies here that Build Knight Rider Replica cars to personal spec...or at least there used to be just a few years ago. Great job finding all of those Original KR locations! Thanks for another great RR episode! (Tony K., Melbourne, Florida - Formerly from Long Island, New York!)..... Looking forward to the next KR Episode!
Cheers Tony!
I am 42 and pushing 43 and still a KR fan since 1984! I started watching in 1984 1985
4:35 "Dedicated video coming soon: The computers of Knight Rider"
YES! I've been thinking about this for quite a while now. "How cool would it be to make a video about all the computers we can see in those old TV shows like Knight Rider".
Can't wait to watch it.
Superb work on this recipode. With the number of Knight Rider fans, I would have guessed it should have 10x the views it got. Lots of fun here. Thank you. Sorry I didn't get to see the dry lake bed shot and the drone footage of that curved highway road that is so iconic in this video of yours.
WOW. Im geeking out. That was brilliant. I'm about to watch again. Amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Brilliant!
You make the coolest videos! My brother and I loved watching Knight Rider when we were kids. I was 7 when it debuted. It definitely is one of the defining shows of the 80s.
Thanks!
I tried to re-watch the Knight Rider series. About 15 minutes in when Michael comes running out with his tight jeans showing off the lolly bags, I decided I should just keep it all a memory.
😆
I was born in 1982, so I was too young to appreciate the show during its initial run... I tried to watch it and see what all the fuss was about many times and... well, let's just say hearing other people gushing about it has always been a lot more entertaining.
I am almost speechless! You earned yourself a new Patreon supporter!
Can't tell you how grateful I am to you and your efforts on this, loved it. Massive Knight rider fan and new subscriber from the UK 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Brilliant!
This is just awesome! So well put together - must have taken a lot of time! I have so many questions tho...
Glad you enjoyed it! All will be revealed in a supporter exclusive vid soon :-)
Got a chance to watch this one too finally! So awesome how so many locations are exactly the same!
A very enjoyable video. Nicely done!!!
pure awesomeness, more of that kinda stuff pls 🖤🖤🙏
Wow...this video must have taken quite a long time to make. The effort is appreciated, I'll have to watch a few more times to absorb everything :) PS: The music mentioned in 3:50 sounds like a sped up inspired version of Fletch's Theme from the movie Fletch with Chevy Chase and a bit of Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F thrown into the mix :)
retro at it's best !!! very well made !!! keep on the good stuff coming :)
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️
Watched it every Friday when I was 11 with my brother, great times!!!!!
Looking forward to see if you do a part two to include many of the other spots. Lots located in Santa Clarita. Excellent video. Kudos.
I loved that ,what an amazing video.I am a huge Knight Rider Fan and have driven a KITT replica which was so awesome. I hope you get your KITT car one day
I hope so too!
Awesome resipode 👍, aw I loved watching knight rider too as a kid to, That 80s perm though 🤣. Also loved Airwolf, Street hawk and Automan too, which all had equally awesome synth inspired music intros as well, still give me goosebumps to this day😊😍. So many more good TV shows like Magnum PI ,Dukes of Hazard, A-Team. I feel a retro TV watching binge coming on now , thanks Perifractic 😊🤣👍, just need order some pizza first 🍕.
I loved this show when I was a kid, that with Airwolf and Street Hawk were my favorites 🙂
That “computer” they plug KITT into at 3:55 was the self-destruct system from V - The Final Battle, I remember that well
Great series, remembering watching that show when I was a kid, it was right up there with "Dukes of Hazzard"!
As a huge Knight Rider fan, I think when I purchase a Tesla, the "Hello, Michael" car name is MUST! (Plus sharing Mr Knight's first name also helps haha!) Another great video RR!! Being involved in the film & TV industry here in Vancouver, I LOVE that you've taken the time to find those locations! We have a few famous sites here too! (Historically, The Incredible Hulk TV series one in particular!) Thanks for reliving moments from one of my fav childhood shows!
Michael?! Is that you?!!
@@RetroRecipes In the flesh 😉😎
Thanks for keeping the Knight Rider fan base alive!
I got a picture with KITT at a car show in the 1980s when I was 5 or 6 years old. I also saw KITT at the Celebrity Car Museum in Branson Missouri where they have a large collection of replica and also screen-used vehicles from movies and TV shows. Worth visiting if you're eve in Missouri.
oh man nice, watched it 2 times. great video!
Absolutely loved this. Bravo Sir!
Thank you kindly!
I have knightrider theme as my ringtone
We used to video it. Loved it
Very nice tribute , and a very cool editing. Thanks
Eran
As long as you don’t come in contact with Goliath!
Great episode! I love K.I.T.T.
For fans of another 80's classic, the Adventures of Buckaroo Banza, the Sepulveda Dam is also the location of the end scene.
This was one of my best childhood shows in the 1980s. I watched every episode! Thank you so much for sharing, brings back good memories! LOL I really love the names of the actors in the video. The names are so hilarious (funny)! Do you own the K.I.T.T. replica in your video? Thanks.
Thanks! No that one belongs to Shawn Lasley.
Now the Knight Rider theme song is gonna play in my head all day, hahaha! Such a simple but catchy song
Well done on finding the locations. I loved the humourous intro. Years ago I saw a replica of KITT driving around what used to be the old Central TV studios in Nottingham (now part of Nottingham University). The design hasn't aged well. 🙁 I have to admit I much preferred Airwolf to Knight Rider... Stringfellow Hawke was way cooler than Michael Knight and Airwolf was just a beautiful machine. OK, it was a Bell 222 in a fancy frock, but I still love the look of it today.
Really enjoyed this, still I am a massive knight rider fan.
Loved the sense of humour, peri fractic, as always you do an enjoyable TH-cam channel. Keep up the good work
Lady fractic Really looked good with long hair, she can carry anything off
Looking forward to another video
How about another knight rider, or airwolf or even the a team
😁
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️ More planned! Maybe BTTF next!
@@RetroRecipes yes! BTTF would be perfect.
WOW!!! This was a very cool episode... I have to admit I'm a bit envious that you get to make these videos and visit the locations where this iconic 80's TV series was shot... but as always, it brings up more questions than it does answers! PCB way stands for Puzzled, Confused, and Bewildered... Like... for example, where did that KITT come from? I'm sure you didn't dream that part... because that would mean that I dreamed that whole thing too!
We’ll find out in a future episode 😉
@@RetroRecipes Ahhh... I suspected that there would be a future episode that would explain all...
Oh childhood there you are! What a great video, thank you so much for sharing!
Sure does take me back. Many many moons ago, when i was about 12-13, I got to go to Universal studios. Went on a 'special' back lot tour, and we were told, at the end, that anyone who wanted a signed photo of Knight Rider could have one. I was sooooo excited (woo woo) ... then very disappointed. It was a signed photo of K.I.T.T. Oh well. Looking back I should have held onto it over the years, probably worth some cheddar now ROFL!
Was it a tire track?
No words, big emotions! You changed most of one day for me!
AWESOME! You never cease to surprise and amaze me.
ps: 1:47 ... I beg to differ, the best TV theme of all time is probably "Space 1999" from season 1, or "The Persuaders". 2 Brits shows :)
17:13 Stunning cunning stunts!
Knight rider was exciting as a child. I remember watching it. I would have been about the same age as you.
It looks kind of tacky watching it now and Kit look a bit outdated, but it was god at the time :)
So much that was only sci-fi/fantasy back then is now closer than ever. Cool (albeit a bit scary) times.
It had been years since I watched Knight Rider, It's never on TV. So last year I bought the DVD Boxset. Oh, the memories. And it's still a realy good show.
This is SO FUN! Nice work.
Junkyard Dog is the best episode of Knight Rider. FACT!
The guy on Knight Rider Historians owns the Junk Yard Kitt episode car as far as I can recall. They also own the Knight Industries tractor unit that used to tow around the mobile office.
Well worth watching the channel is you want to find out about locations, car versions and insider gossip from back in the day.
Yes great channel. I think they have the other KITT that was destroyed in Juggernaut not Junkyard Dog 🤷🏻♂️ Still cool!
Now this is one of your best episodes ever. WOW!!
Thanks! All downhill from here 😆😉
OMG this is the best video ever :). I loved Knight Rider and i still do. However KITTs voicebox was located in the middle of the car above the gear shift and not where it is now (Mandela Effect).
Glad you liked this! I used to think that too but it was always above the steering wheel in the show. The problem was they never showed it in context only close up, so we had to guess, and guess wrong!
The best episode yet thank you from a loving Chip Dipper.
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️
"Just that theme music alone is probably the best tv theme of all time"
Mike Post: Am I a joke to you?
;)
Well I said probably 😉
Haha, what a brilliant episode! I'm a huge fan of "revisiting old filming locations" videos!
The appearance of KITT really nailed it! 😁
This was very nice !
The Kitt roving red eye reminded me of a Cylon eye as a kid.
21:30 OMY,OMY!
I was following Knight Rider too in Italy (renamed with a strong fantasy by the translators Supercar), and loved the pilot; however the nominal series was less exciting compared to the darker pilot but did follow several episodes; knowing to live close to several filming locations of it is exciting!
For the non locals: College of the Canyons is in Valencia, the race track is close to the Santa Clarita train station, the panda Express is in Canyon Country
[The neighboring towns of Valencia, Saugus, Newhall and Castaic did join together as the city in Santa Clarita in 1987]
while instead the Sepulveda dam is down south in the San Fernando Valley between Van Nuys and Sherman Oaks; beside Knight Rider has also been location for a bunch of car commercials and other movies.
That was an epic video! Edwoof DogHare ! :D LoooooL Well done!!
26:08 That dam is where they did the closing credits for Buckaroo Bonzai isn't it?
That was absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for doing this - now I find myself wanting to watch the original series again. So many memories!
Fantastic episode!
Awesome! Need a Dukes of Hazard and A-Team follow up ;)
Yaaaayyyy, knightrider! Didn't now you liked that Peri :-D
LOVE KNIGHT RIDER!!!!! I was going to suggest you have now peaked, but the Computers of Knight Rider may well beat even this level of perfection. Thank you so much for making this. I've sat in KITT as well...but oddly....here in Australia he was Right Hand Drive. I was tempted to buy a KITT last time I got a weekender, but opted for a Porsche......but I still sometimes regret not buying a KITT. If Tesla want to sell me a self driving car, JUST MAKE IT LOOK LIKE KITT.....how hard is that? :D
Really enjoyed that, thanks for the effort.
And Ladyfractic in that wig, Woweewoowa!
This is great. I was so obsessed with KITT when I was young, I drew the dashboard on square paper and coloured with felt tip pens, all the lights, readouts, switches and screens by recording every episode on the family VCR, Trying to get the steadiest picure with no noise bars, I felt I did a good job at the time. I could problably still do it from memory. By the way, have you ever checked out "Knight Rider Historians" YT Channel?
PS I am not affiliated but I just happen to like their work.
My favourite episode is KITT vs KARR. More screen time for the 2 cars.. It was like season 1-2 vs season 3-4 dash boards in a whole episode :)
Yes I love their channel since I discovered it recently and am in touch with them 👍🕹️
That ist a masterpiece ! great video !!!
My Uncle's name is ACTUALLY Michael Knight - how cool is that :-) Top work Peri
Eu agradeço por esse vídeo, pela nostalgia e toda a diversão que o acompanha.
Abraços do Brasil!
