This movie is very loosely connected to "Knight Rider" and even features a few KR references - see if you can spot them!

Yes Knight Rider was my favourite while growing up. Air Wolf, Street Hawk, Dukes of Hazard and A Team. We had it so good didint we. Our era 80s and 90s were the best
here in the netherlands the a team still on the tv
@@wieland8729The A team is brilliant also. Saturday night television growing up for me was just epic
I'm with you, Sir🔥🔥🔥
MacGyver, also.
well i was born in 1944 and i found the 1960s the best
You guys get that this is ROADHOUSE, right. Dalton, the mysterious drifter who knows a little too much, fights a little too well and keeps his distance... this dude is proto-Swayze.
Yup. I remember renting this on betamax format back in the 80s. Soon as I saw "Roadhouse" I thought there were similarities. I think there was even a sequel to this which I found to be more action packed, been awhile so I can't remember much except it involved going up against ex soldiers.
U hav it backwards:
Roadhouse w\
Ben Gazzara,Sam Elliott,
Patrick Swayze & Kelly
Preston came out n 1989.

B🇧🇧 dos
Lol I must be honest I kept saying this statement out loud and laughing before seeing this comment. The names Dalton .... I thought you'd be bigger lol. Patrick Swayze God Rest His Soul was awesome as Dalton in Road House. Double Deuce baby
@@alfredhutchinson3713 yeah. Duh. Thus is pre roadhouse dummy.
Not Knight Rider.
I absolutely love how you're presenting this from a VHS source. Growing up in the 80's I went through all the formats over the decades: VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, Blu Ray and now of course 4K. However, VHS still holds a special place for me as I miss going to our local rental store and browsing the enormous catalog of movies to rent and bring home to watch over the weekend. The analog days were the best days!
Jeremy what have done? You've added more grey to my beard. 😂
Spot on on everything you said. This generation is loosing out. Erin Grey. As boy watching her Gil Gerrard on Buck Rodgers. Ooo man. She was fox. I'm sure can still pull it off now. Sorry that's the nostalgic brain working. Sorry mate. But correct on everything stated above.
Agreed. The whole ritual of going to Movie Gallery, picking out 3 films and the drive back home with great anticipation of watching them, we just don't have that kind of experience now in 2020.
@@JimButler1234567890 Spot on. Add that to the title of nostalgia.
😉
Sure were the best days.
Your 100% right.
VHS was awesome.
Same I used to rent out from blockbusters.
In 1993 I remember a guy who used to do his own VHS
Recordings. They were sure the best days. 1990s had The BEST movies..
O MAN GOOD MEMORIES..WE AD A LIL LOCAL PLACE CALLED "VIDEO RENT ALL" CORNY NAME BUT THAT WAS THE BEAUTY OF THE 80S INNOCENT AND FUN... O LUCKY FOR ME WE HAD A 4 HEAD FISHER VHS PLAYER THAT COULD PAUSE AS CLEAN AS U LIKE WITH AUTO TRACKING THE ROLLS ROYCE OF MACHINES LOL...THANKS FOR THE MEMORY LANE VISIT
Born in 71 and watched ALL the 80s action sitcoms. Me and my dad(2017😢) watched them together!!!!♥️♥️♥️ Miss ya Dad everyday!!!
Listen carefully for a few seconds at 41:14. It is K.I.T.T. talking to Michael. It is very faint in the background. The CC is even picking up some words from it. This movie is only similar to Knight Rider in that there is a male loner traveling form place to place helping people, and falling for the women.
(K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R.)
I detect our laser mounted onto his scanner Michael.
That was close
Yea your right it was close get ready.
If this plan of yours fails I want you to know it's been a beautiful partnership
Michael the men in the armored car.. lets get over there buddy, but Michael (I believe the TV inside is supposedly watching K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R.)
I love how the old man was watching knight rider before he was killed
It was a nice touch that. I like it too.
It was a KARR episode. 🤓
Why didn't this get picked up - it was really good! A drifter trying to find himself by helping others? A really nice slow pace. Its so much better than a lot of the crap on nowadays
My dad's friend is like this guy an exact doppelganger,mechanic,DIY man,cabby and I think he later owned a Donut shop for a short time.
I agree 100%, Mukhtar. By the end of the episode, the only regret I had was that there wasn't another episode to watch.
Series was picked up the Short-lived series aired on NBC as "Dalton-Code of Vengence".
Great point Mr. Mukhtar Hassan.
Yeah this was alot better than stuff their making now a days but the mushy parts can stay out of these action movies pretty much why I'm watching older movies and shows now because nothing but garbage on tv these days and I guess I didn't go that far back to get away from the mushy stuff that sorta stuff screwed up our world to this day by the things we watch on tv news social media platforms movies rap music videos all filled with hate sex violence jealousy greed what did people think would happen to the world filling people's heads with that garbage especially kids growing up they thought it was ok because they saw it monkey see monkey do right just another form of brainwashing and plus let's not forget all the subliminal messages they put in now the world is filled with exactly what they watched on tv ever notice everyone acts like life is a contest well blame government for that putting subliminal messages in everything you watch who knows what they put in there ever thought that you remember someone that died and then years later they announced on news that that person recently died that's the power of subliminal brainwashing across America they made people think someone important died so when they really died noone would be that interested united States and 31 other countries have all signed a treaty to help cover up something which I believe it's a Stargate to go forward into the future or back in the past just like 9/11 they created 9/11 saying muslims highjacked us airlines and flew into the twin towers well our government flew those plans into towers they even had floors shut down above and pre wired explosives 30 floors and up to create a war so they'd get government funding to go over there to Saddam Hussein and capture and kill him because they found out he was hiding a Stargate at his home and had futuristic weapons do your research it's out there you just gotta know where to look and know how to use a computer how do you think our world had made a huge leap into the future with all this technology americans now hold an active Stargate and have tons of technology and has the baddest military equipment ever we got jets the whole world wants to get their hands on and trump is selling it all to them right now before he leaves office or Whitehouse but usa has jets coming out 100x better than the ones trump's selling so far advanced noone will mess with the united states lazor weapons on guns jets cyborg army is ready usa is gonna be unstoppable all because they have their own Stargate
The opening song in this Pilot can also be heard in the ‘Knight Rider’ episode, “Hearts of Stone.” The second song heard (as Dalton arrives in town) is from the episode, “Diamonds aren’t a Girl’s best Friend” from ‘Knight Rider’.
If you listen closely the second song was a pop tune from that era
@@sgommerable sounds like a Dire Straits tune from the 80s.
What is the name of and who does that opening song Shazam won't pick it up

If David Hasselhoff and Patrick Swayze had a baby it would be this dude! Pretty badass Chevy two wheel drive with the camper back
This is actually pretty damn good. I’m surprised. I’d watch this today. Bring him back!

I kinda felt like I was watching an episode of Renegade
That's what was made instead of this
Nah this was less corny
News flash all of You Tube
This is content worth peoples time.
Erin Gray was so incredibly beautiful. Had a huge crush on her as a kid watching her in Buck Rogers
hubbahubbahubbahubbahubbahubbahubbahubba
Have to agree she was Hot in Buck Rodgers..
I met Erin Gray in person once.
Same here
Read my mind
Thank you so much for uploading this gem!!! Its nearly impossible to find anywhere else!!
Lov'it nostalgic I'm 43 born 79 and I remember well coming from school and go to cofeshop to watch 'it because didn't have TV at home and then grow up watching repeatedly on TV till I could recorded in DVD all the episodes and passad to my son and he loved he was 5 or 6 and now is just turn 13
TV in the good ol'days!!!!! What i would do to go back and live it again..
Knight Rider is the best show !
Seh ich genau so.
gotta love that old time cell phone buzz at 15:12, havent heard that in a long time.
bring me back knight rider, Airwolf, MacGyver, Hardcastle & McCormick and Manimal....pleaseee!!
If you have antenna Tv you can watch Knight rider every day on the station called CHARGE!
You forgot The A-team☺️
You forgot ALF
Not Automan though... 😂
@@timmillerr7709 i just found it last night myself.
41:00 old guy watches knight rider on tv lol 😂
18:13. Did you also notice Colt's Seavers pickup in the background. Lol!
KITT vs KARR. The moment Michael prepping to talk to Karr on loudspeaker 👍🏻😁 One of my favorite episodes!
the only reference to Knight Rider in this entire movie
Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into bringing all these videos to us
40:55 Old man is watching Kitt vs Karr episode from Knight Rider :D
In 1985, i was 12, now 2022 i am 49... still watching 80s series... love them all
Bro Im 29. I was 12 in 2004. Guess what im still in to to this day xD 1998 - 2004 era metal scene haha
80s TV series depicted America as a compassionate, freedom loving nation where justice prevails.
Total opposite of 2022.
Same for me! Good year, 1973 😊
@@janmenzinga 👍
@@ride1973 👌
Oh my god, thank you for this. I always remembered that clip of him throwing a stick in the air to decide which way to go. I just couldn't remember the show. I saw it back in 85 and just thought this would be a cool series. Thank you for letting me know the name of it.
Watched it, it was good.
Be nice to find the other 3(?) episodes out there.
Thanks for putting this one up.
Man i miss these kind of shows. Pure 80's period entertainment.
@40:55 - 41:29, you can hear the guy watching "KITT vs KARR" on the TV!
Frits Felix really?
Frits Felix you have Facebook etc
Hey joe
Never knew anything at all about this!! 😲😲
Matt Ayres it was a spin-off series to mouth of the shake but failed.
I don't know about being a "Knight Rider" spin-off, but I can definitely see elements that parlayed into the development of "Stingray"...! ;)
Stingray was a good show.
Yes Stingray it was on NBC in the 1980's I rember a episode were police Stopped Stingray his Address was 1600 Pennsylvania Ave ! The police let him go ! Don't rember the year
@@derekintrovert5619 I remember that episode... it was watching "Stingray" that I learned $1000 bills were only used by drug cartels or really big business.
And I remember an episode where he was trailing someone and had various headlights set up to make his Stingray look like different cars, or even a motorcycle.
The years for "Stingray" were 1985-1987. I thought it was older than that.
@@jamesbutts9202 👍☺
I never thought I'd get to see this pilot, thanks for uploading I enjoyed it.
When you see the fights in this movie, it is quite evident that people couldn't defend themselves back in the 1980s. Although I lose most of my fights, I would have kicked ass back then. Maybe I should pick fights with 60 year olds who were young back then and I will then be a bad ass.
thank hollywierd choreographers (especially tv ones) for that. Look at tv from 60s & 70s it's even worse & really not alot better today (just filmed better knowing the quality level of current movies means they have to at least try lol
In real life back in the late 70s early 80s my uncle was a serious badass even sparred with chuck norris at a convention... In his late 60s now & guess what, I still don't wanna piss him off
@@tingley428 I don't think so. If your uncle is a real man, how about he come alone to meet me, Dinky and Carlos for a fight?
@@MichaelJones-st9nl Cool. The only thing I ask is that you don't try to get the Latino Hipster to prefer you over me, because I want him to continue thinking I'm cool.
Comes in to make a addition to house leaves after house is completely destroyed 🤔 well done
This is my hometown. For 41 years. I was maybe 7 or 8 when this came out. I actually have it recorded on a burnable dvd. Good ol Willcox Arizona. The dvd has all the original commercials in it too.
Did they just remake it years later & call it Road House. Weird coincidences. Dalton, leather jacket, mullet, & fighting 😂
It's very common for scripts to be re-cylced or outright reused. A lot of the 80's shows even reused the same script in the same week with different shows. Like.... Knight Rider would first use the original script and then it would be edited and proofed for Dukes Of Hazard, 6 MDM, or even Battlestar Galactica. They would just change minor details such as names and places and basically redress the story using different characters. If you watched enough 80's TV as I did, it became blatantly obvious at times.
And long hair lol
@@cassidystarchild7907 The dukes of hazard was on the air 3 years before knight rider lol. and ended 1 year before it.
So maybe this was based on the case of a town killing Ken Mcelroy then too? From the documentary 'No one saw a thing' since i thought that was the was the inspiration for Road House.
@@cassidystarchild7907 Brilliant analysis thanx
It's cool hearing all those classic Don Peake Knight Rider transition music bits until the shootout when he made something uniquely Western/Mexican
No one can hit the same 4 notes in a row on a synth like Don Peake! 😅
Funny how the Knight Rider fans know him for this type of music, while guitarists know him for his time with The Wrecking Crew, and Ray Charles. And don’t forget the intro to “Let’s Get It On”! His resume is a who’s who in music over the years. 👍
3:53 if bad guys fought like that in real life, the world would be a safer place.
You can see so many Larson heroes in this. Yes he's tall rugged dispensing justice and saving just about everyone. So he's like a Steve Austin, Michael knight, Highwayman with a pinch of Buck Rogers, Renegade mixed in..... that's just absolutely awesome. Should have had many more episodes.
"RENEGADE" wasn't a LARSON Hero.
Was created by STEPHEN J. CANNELL.
GLEN A. LARSON created or was involved with the rest of 'em,though.🤷♂️
@@GMO--ge4ir Nice one thanks for the info.🙂

I would make a killing on a game show.🤦
Memory film in 90,so good 😊👍🙏
One Man Can Make A Difference.
Did anyone notice the voice of "KITT" addressing "Michael" starting at about the 41:16 mark as "Ole man" was watching TV? LOL
Sure did
And based on the dialogue, it was clearly the finale of the episode "KITT vs KARR", which based on when this pilot came out, was broadcast a year earlier. So, it was clearly a rerun!
that's from kitt vs karr

Erin Grey. OMG, she is so beautiful and talented
I wish film nowadays this good.
It’s like “Highway to Heaven” but with David Dalton using his fists rather than good deeds to solve problems.
Highway to Heaven but with fists is my favourite description of this show lol.
Highway to heaven meets kung fu?
Highway to Dalton
Me too Dec 3 1972 old 📺 programs are the best brings back so many memories.😁
have been looking for this for ages ... i remember seeing this during the 90s
Interesting, only heard about this spinoff a few months ago. I'm not crazy about it but it's great to find and connect everything related to the Knight Rider universe.
I was 20 years old when knight rider hit the airways good show miss it...
I love the old guy was watching “Knight Rider”. I found that funny, since this is a spin off of “Knight Rider”. Also, I remember that “Knight Rider” episode the old guy was watching.
KITT vs. KARR
@Diane Adkins-Diorio That’s the episode!!
I keep coming back 😎👍🏼thank u
Thank you for sharing this film, your YT channel is very cool, I like it. 🔥🔥🔥
Haha! The little blonde Boy is Matthew Cooper(Chad Allen) from "Dr. Quinn-Medicine Woman" 😆
Liked this. If I hadn’t had read the intro, I’d have said it was a pilot for from a Jack Reacher novel!
Funny this was supposed to be a Knight Rider "universe" expansion, because the bump on NBC said something like "If you thought Rambo was tough, you'll want to watch Dalton's Code of Vengeance"
Randall Tex Cobb was in everything back in the 80s. Police Academy 4, Raising Arizona
Toughest chin in boxing....and funny too, he said he didn't fight Larry Holmes as much as he "beat up his fists with my face!", and that getting Howard Cosell to stop calling fights was his gift to boxing and he'd play football if it'd get him off Monday Night Football broadcasts too!
1976, thru June 28th 1985, to 1986, were Paradise!!
The knight Rider without the theme music, KITT and the same original actors and hot actresses like Patricia McPherson and Rebecca Holden isn't Knight Rider.
Don't forget the other Knight Riders without the theme music, Knight Rider 2000, Knight Rider 2010 and Team Knight Rider.
We want the 80s back!!
That little blonde boy looks like the kid that appeared in Airwolf as Hawke's "kid". And the old man watching Kitt vs Karr was in several shows back in the 80s. And the young woman too.
The old guy is Keenan Wynn. Well seasoned actor who sadly passed a year after this.
He was also a Disney standby. Played Alonzo Hawk in Herbie Rides Again.
@@nascargas Yes he did!
She also starred in Buck Rogers
Soundtrack is top shelf
This amazing film thank you very much keep it up❤
Cool, i'll watch it, feels like Vince Black in an old squarebody truck instead of a Harley!
Old is Gold!
That was totally rad!
Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Great TV Serie though. 👍👌👏
An of course, I'm a subscriber!
Thanks Again Though.
so, i'm still trying to understand what makes this a "Knight Rider spinoff"? did i miss something?
not cheesy enough to be a real spinoff,LOL
On June 30, 1985, NBC aired "Code of Vengeance", a spin-off of the original "Knight Rider" series featuring the character of David Dalton, who appeared in season two's "Mouth of the Snake".

Read the description mate ;)
Well we did hear Kitt in the background on the tv in the house just before it burned down w/ the old man.
@@Capt1caveman STILL NOT A 'SPIN OFF' LOOSELY OR OTHERWISE - SO TAKE THAT READ THE DESCRIPTION PART AWAY IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE ITS JUST CLICK BAIT
@@moolmannkosi3985 So it doesn't say that in the description then?
I will edit my responses when I feel that needs to be done, thank you ;)
Where's the cool black car with the Cylon light on its fascia?
Really enjoyed this!! Thanks brother 🙏
I was waiting for the lead to call FLAG or the FIRM to call in either KITT or Airwolf to make short work of those hoods.
30:38 I wish I had somebody as a kid teach me to build stuff .
My dad died when I was age 11 but he was sick since I was age 9 .
I use to hang out with him when he fixed cars before his illness.
That's one thing I wish he would of showed me was the basics to build things .
My dad turned himself into a woman.. It broke my mom's heart and traumatized her deeply. They divorced when I was in kindergarten, and I was raised by my angry resentful single mother.
man..that first fight scene had me sportin wood
Yes, seeing that Dalton dude wearing them, thar tight ass jeans, got me excited too, hehehe!! Just kidding, lol.
Wow, I cannot believe David Dalton had a spin off!! This is Awesome!!
I could easily watch more episodes , Thanks
LMAO @ the cellphone interference at 15:15.
*_I have been looking for this movie for years! I remember watching it when it premiered. You rock, thanks for uploading it! Any chance you can find the second movie or any of the other episodes?_*
I gotta brand new Cadillac and a pocket full of cash that'll take a woman as far as she wants to go. L M A O! Smoothest straight foward line i ever heard.
Not a bad movie at all, actually has that old retro charm!
All that & the dude never finished the work on the house. Too busy making time with that fine-ass Erin Gray! 😂
Yes, she just couldn't take her eyes off Dalton's fine ass in them, thar tight jeans, hehehe!!
wonder if he was gettin paid overtime rates lol
Dalton... ya listen to that they DONT say !!! yeah baby
I was 1-day old, dont remember that show for nothin, seemed decent tho that cast could have easily replaced Knight Flyer.
That ladie's walk had my attention more than the Kitt car ever did
Anyone else notice the 80s made for TV has LESS advertising breaks than 2023 youtube has? Like twice as many advertisement breaks then back in the 80s on network tv... scary how far we have come and how low our expectations have gotten.
Miss knight rider
Amazing, Kitt's voice talking to us.
🥲☺
41:40 the old boy was watching Knight Rider
16:00 Fall Guy truck.
Thank you for sharing this Knight Rider Historyian
This is a nice my movie.i remember watching in the 80s .. Wow 😍
That town is more dangerous than the worst gang infested neighborhood in Los Angeles
that´s exactly how us Europeans picture the american country side xD
I have Netflix... Amazon Prime etc... & I end up watching THIS... in it's entirety! 😆😉
This was pretty cool, a change from Knight Rider, more grittier. Felt a bit like First blood which isn't a bad thing. Kinda wonder how they would have continued Dalton's story, shame it didn't get picked up.Maybe he became a bouncer...
I think Dalton went on to become Patrick Swayze's character in Roadhouse ;-)
I been watching knight for years since in the 80:s
I'm pretty sure the tow truck driver is the tall bald headed guy from Road House that can't tolerate pain.
Update: It's not.
Dalton ... you had me at "special forces" !!
41:36-38 knight rider is on the telly !!!
KITT: “Michael, the men in the armored car”
Michael: “Let’s get over there, buddy”
KITT: “But, Michael!”
“Do it!”
Same here, all the old late 70s, 80s and early 90s stuff, dukes, a--team, knight rider, airwolf, alf, married with children, miami vice, mcgyver etc etc etc etc
Great movie. Some familiar faces. He looks like a young Tommy Lee Jones. The diner scene desperate singles was awkward. Lol.
I remember this movie
This is actually not half bad. I wonder why they never aired it. Would've been a good series,
Who knows action tv was is then. And every series had an actor they could fawn over
can't believe this sci fi futurist movie is older than me xD
Love the Chevy Squarebody trucks right in the beginning.
