KITT can scan through lead doors and get a full-colour view of the missiles within. Doesn't even spot the small group of men out in the open up above the road next to him though.
KITT would have to be in surveillance mode to detect suspicious behaviors. Usually, Michael would instruct KITT to keep his eyes peeled or detect suspicious behavior when Michael pursue his lead on foot. But in this scene, Michael is driving and therefore, is in command.
Michael: "If we're quick enough, we can knock out his right front wheel" realistically, Michael Knight would never be allowed to drive Kitt again after such a stupid mistake.
And the award for dumbest plan to knock out a front right wheel of an oncoming semi by running into it with a Trans Am goes to........... Michael Knight
I have a theory that the driver for Goliath is David Hassellhoff he played both characters in the show, they were not 2 separate people, been thinking about this for over 30 years.
When this first aired I was so afraid of seeing KITT get wrecked by Goliath that I couldn't watch the whole episode. When it gets to the part where they're using the infrared to scan the mountain at first I was afraid that Goliath was gonna come crashing through the doors to take Michael and KITT out.
@TD Tell Em that's funny because that's exactly how the Juggernaut took out KITT in Season 4. I know this post is three years old, but I just couldn't help myself lol.
BRAVO, GARTHE, BRAVO!!!!! whoever they got to play this maniacal rogue should have won an EMMY!!!!!! what's he up to nowadays? an actor of his caliber DESERVES more work!!!!!
When I first saw this episode, it aired in two parts. It was a rerun, but still I had to wait til the next week to see the conclusion. Part 1 ending with KITT left on his side in the desert really got me.
I watched this when it aired in the 80s, I was around 7 at the time and a Knight Rider fanatic. I remember the sheer horror of seeing the near indestructible KITT totally wrecked, how Goliath seemed like this unstoppable juggernaut (which it was), Michael's injuries, and how traumatic the whole thing was. How could they ever recover from this? And if they did, how could they beat Goliath? Watching it now in the age of photorealistic CGi and 4K screens, the toy KITT and toy truck approaching each other does look ludicrous but I'd be lying nonetheless if I said it didn't take me right back
That's how they did it back in the day,those plastic miniatures etc was and still are really gorgeous because of the era! Actually they could do a new series with special effects those days and i would love to see the OG kitt not the stupid 2008 series with new effects! I read somewhere that they had a plan to make a new movie based in the classic series,with james van but again nothing! I don't think that kitt will caught up the audiences like back in the day,a guy and his talking super car you know! 😉
My mother bought me a black 24" dirt bike for my birthday with gold rims. She bought it right when this episode of Knight Rider was shown. My friends called my bike . . . GOLIATH. I was the only person on the block with a 24" wheel dirt bike. And I was barely tall enough to ride it.
Michael Crosby ergonomics puts a minimum size on tech. Unless we start to carry a personal server-bag or dermal-distributed circuitry the screens and batteries will always need to be about what they are now. There’s an early 2000s tv series called release war with folding holo-screens, Star Trek tablets/tri-Corders, Tron data disks, all around to the sane profile.
I remember hearing Kitt scream in agony. Watching it again after 35 years, it’s just the sound of grinding metal scraping on the dirt. Funny the way kid’s minds work.
Notice there is no split in the weatherstripping at the A pillar on Kitt. That indicates a hardtop Firebird. Kitt had T-Tops in many scenes of the show. I read a post on another of these clips that the crew used stickers to emulate the look of T-Tops in some shots.
Kitt: "Michael, you're not going to drive head on into that super jacked semi trailer are you? Cause that would be completely f*n balls out insane. Not to mention strategically illogical ." Michael: (duck lips) "F*k YEAH KITT WE'RE SENDIN' IT!"
Hasselhoff played a good scary dude..but he was always the good guy in all his roles. Garthe used to give me nightmares as a kid. "Don't you threaten me!" He was even crazier in Goliath returns. He brought his jail cell made of rocks all the way from Africa just for Michael. That's nuts!
I remember watching this when I was 9, it was horrifying for me. I really thought Goliath had killed Kit and Michael. I was so distraught my Grandpa gave me a sip of his beer to calm down.

@@AndrewChapman RC3 wasn't a lead technician. He didn't have a defined role. At best he was a mechanic but he spent most of his time repairing his motorcycle than he did with K.I.T.T.
Fun Fact 2: KITT never feared KARR but he did feared Goliath. Goliath won both of his head on confrontation against KITT. KITT won both of his head on confrontation against KARR.
As a kid a thought that too and when I heard it for the first time I started crying for Kitt ...... Also Kitt made me a car guy and I know that cars have soul not only Kitt in a movie ....good old times !
That scene where Goliath wrecks KITT reminds me of the original Generation 1 Transformers episode "Masquerade", where Optimus Prime and Motormaster charged towards each other on the highway, and Motormaster took the brunt of the impact damage.
Yeah that was michael n kitt vs goliath n garth in season 2 knightrider.......but i remember another time goliath n garth returns!! So there was two times he showed up! 😉👍
On many, many occasions during the run of Knight Rider, it was Michael's arrogance that got himself and KITT into trouble. Usually KITT came off worse.
Probably. Goliath reminds me a lot of Motormaster. The Stunticons had force fields that allowed them to ram obects with no damage. This episode premiered 2 years before the Stunticons were introduced in Nov 1985.
They should have got Garth Knight to drive Karr too n that would have been the evil version of Knight Rider while they fighting Michael and Kitt too lol
When i saw it as a kid it sucked seeing kitt banged up in the episode, but when you watch it as an adult you're thinking wow Micheal was pretty stupid thinking he could knock the tire out. It might of worked on a truck without the protective shell lol
A truck WITHOUT the protective shell would've gotten creamed by KITT..... No problem at all. Hell the first episode of the show has KITT turbo boosting through the trailer of a semi truck without the car getting a scratch on it. A physical confrontation with Goliath is just impossible no matter what strategy they use. The truck is too big, has waaaaay more mass, and is just as invulnerable as KITT. Essentially it becomes a fancy sports car going up against big rig truck.... The car doesn't stand a chance. www.giftsareperfect.com
Yeah, this scene seemed like a bigger deal as a kid in the 80s. But there really wasn't much to it other than a bad decision by Michael and a poor assumption on the bad guys to believe Michael would have engaged, even if they were technically right. I think it would have stood the test of time better if there had been an actual battle that led to KITT's downfall rather than a game of chicken that was foolhardy at best.
This was such a success that the writers decided KITT needed to be destroyed more often. He got blown up in the Season 3 premiere and then dumped in acid during another season 3 episode. Then in the Season 4 premiere he was destroyed again.
Interesting tidbits. When they are at red bluff, KITT is a hard too made to look like a t top. He has the trademark steering wheel, with a standard Firebird dash, no headliner, and the upper console is blank with no buttons. They must not have had a lot of funding for the second season as KITT didn’t get a face lift or anything and minor upgrades that were so so.
Michael should've let Kitt notify Devin right away. And as Devin and the authorities arrived they would've found Michael and Kitt instead of those two remaining in the desert so long.
Michael’s plan: Drive a molecular bonded Trans Am into a molecular bonded semi to take out a wheel. KITT is surely small enough to only hit the wheel!? *Got some car blood on your hands because of that, Michael*
@@justinwalker7178 "Knight of the Drones" where a drone car fires a missile up KITT's exhaust, which led to his dashboard upgrade. And "Knight of the Juggernaut" where the Juggernaut ramrod smashes the hell out of KITT, where he then got further upgrades with Super Pursuit Mode and Convertible Mode.

I built a Goliath out of cardboard in elementary school. I was so proud of myself.
lol
Dope
I find it funny that he's flipping all those switches when in reality he might be flipping on lights, engine brake, and windshield wipers
I'm a truck driver. Pretty sure that's exactly what he's doing :)
KITT can scan through lead doors and get a full-colour view of the missiles within. Doesn't even spot the small group of men out in the open up above the road next to him though.
KITT would have to be in surveillance mode to detect suspicious behaviors. Usually, Michael would instruct KITT to keep his eyes peeled or detect suspicious behavior when Michael pursue his lead on foot. But in this scene, Michael is driving and therefore, is in command.
A very interesting point.
Michael: "If we're quick enough, we can knock out his right front wheel"
realistically, Michael Knight would never be allowed to drive Kitt again after such a stupid mistake.
As a kid I shouted NOOOOOOOOO!!! when KITT was nearly destroyed.

I knew that Garthe existed, but never remembered these episodes...
Me too. That was scary.
30 years after, I remember much of this scene in details.
Same here...
So did i. I was devastated. I had nightmares about Goliath truck crashing into my bedroom.. Duel anyone?
And the award for dumbest plan to knock out a front right wheel of an oncoming semi by running into it with a Trans Am goes to........... Michael Knight
Yeah, that was stupid. Especially considering a semi re-enforce with the same armor as KITT.
Yep, he almost qualified for a Darwin Award!
But it’s not just a Trans Am, it’s KITT
I have a theory that the driver for Goliath is David Hassellhoff he played both characters in the show, they were not 2 separate people, been thinking about this for over 30 years.
