@petecoventry The dune buggy jump car was already used in the pilot episode and the ravine jump was first seen in episode 16 "The Topaz Connection". That was 5 episodes before this one. They sometimes reused jumps from older episodes. The stunt team only had one heavily modified Trans Am with acrylic windows, a roll cage, a drag racing seat with a special safety harness to protect the driver from back and neck injuries, a small fuel cell in the trunk instead of the fuel tank under the car, a welded steel roof instead of the factory T-top, heavy-duty suspension, and a front skid plate to protect the oil pan and transmission. Keep in mind that the Trans Am acrylic window jump car needed minor to extensive repairs after its stunts. So a handful of ramp-to-ramp jumps were done in the first season. This was a clever way to prevent damage during the jumps. Also the stunt team only had 4 Trans Am's for most of the first season. They had to come up with creative solutions to keep the cars in good working order and undamaged. The Volkswagen dune buggy jump car and its rubber/plexiglass shell were a cheap but effective solution to protect the real cars from major damage. Things had changed for the second season. More cars for more stunts and spare parts but also 1/8 scale models for impossible jumps/stunts which would've completely destroyed the dozen or so cars they had at that point.

Twice in fact... once in K.A.R.R.'s first appearance on the original in Season 1 and again in the 2008 reboot... a different actor voiced K.A.R.R. in the Season 3 appearance
The last time I saw Tony Dow was when he, myself, and his 6'2" cousin where scrunched into his 56 T-Bird while he was giving us a ride to the football game at Birmingham HS in the Valley. (SFV)
Love the way you can see the camera - and the damage as it lands - that was the stunt that made the decide to get a dune buggy with a rubber shell on it

When Julian got to jail, he called his dad Ward to bail him out. Ward responded, "I washed my hands of you the day you decided not to be Wally Cleaver anymore! All I have left now is the Beaver!"
0:22 Is that voice on the radio, of William Daniel, one who plays the heart surgeon Mark Craig in the popular TV series of the 80s " St. Elsewhere "? 😅
I was thinking it was Feeny from Boys Meets World, so I looked it up and found out Kitt's voice actor is William Daniels, who played on St. Elsewhere and Boy Meets World.
@@gophersmith don't forget the occasional glimpse of the person hiding in the driver's back seat operating the controls are kicking open the door when it's supposed to be automatically done by kit LOL so many gaps and goofs when TV shows were made back in the day LOL got to love it typical Knight Rider
Well, now I know why I never watched one second of this abortion of a show. The worst screenwriting dialogue imaginable, and the worst plot structure imaginable. The acting was pretty lame as well. Even the editing. My instincts to never go anywhere near it, 4 decades ago, were spot on.

Funny how you can clearly see the driver in the "driverless KITT" :) (the driver is wearing a suit that makes him look like a seat somewhat)
It was a bit harder to see on 1980s TV, especially when they started putting the stunt driver on the right so "Michael" can get in without a cut-shot.
No. That's just the parachute for the ejector seat.
Nah. Thats KITT’s hologram projection
It looked like Norman Bates mother.
A goon?
_cue shot of Michael activating the wipers to clear away some kind of liquid spurting all over the car._

Wished I had KITT for backup back in my school days with David helping me out with The Bullies!!
Grab ya sack and grow some balls FFS, there is nothing with a bit of bullying
@@cyclingnut2122 Bet you were popular at school then
Imagine Kitt powered by ChatGPT. It’d confidently make a bunch of stuff up and for no reason they’d be on a ship to the garbage patch.
Someone's already done it. You can find it on TH-cam.
Good old classic iconic knightrider. 😃
Michael and KITT are my heroes ❤️
KITT had a yoke way before Tesla did. ;)
Yup
The Eighties was the decade of badass black cars. Kitt, Sonny Crockett's Ferrari Daytona and Ray's 1965 C2 Corvette from Stingray.
I enjoyed all three of those shows.
Burt Reynolds Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
I want that AMC Eagle Sedan. Love that red
Sometimes it rains, sometimes it's sunny... Make up your mind weather 😂😂😂
I like that AMC.
Wally Cleaver all grown up
Tesla need to rename ludicrous mode as Super Pursuit Mode
KITT DRIVING BY HIMSELF TO CATCH THE CRIMINAL FIRST BEFORE MICHAEL COMES!! THAT'S TEAM WORK!!
Fun fact.....K.A.R.R....was at 1 piont voiced by none other than Peter "Optimus Prime " Cullen......and yes i do mean K.A.R.R. and not K.I.T.T.
Twice in fact... once in K.A.R.R.'s first appearance on the original in Season 1 and again in the 2008 reboot... a different actor voiced K.A.R.R. in the Season 3 appearance

Geez Wally? Where's the Beaver?
YES! Thank you! I couldn't quite place who that was and you jogged my memory.
No kidding! That was Tony Dow?!
That was about the time Wally turned to a life of crime....
Did you see the man in the car because I the guy was driving the car how about putting a green blanket over him
Michael kicking the guys arse in blue was the bad guy in Road House lol
I love knight rider
5:35 You're under arrest to little lady.
-For what?
-Because I said so. Now let's go.
1:00 music sounds like when David is about Hulk out In the Incredible Hulk.

3:16. I could see the camera after KITT Landed
Yep, and the camera rig on the side of the car (KITT) also during the jump.
Also on the bottom left of the screen during the far landing shot.
You have to remember the 4:3 ratio the TVs were back then nobody ever saw that… they would have had no idea that was going to change in the future
When Julian got to jail, he called his dad Ward to bail him out. Ward responded, "I washed my hands of you the day you decided not to be Wally Cleaver anymore! All I have left now is the Beaver!"
Meanwhile, the Beaver whored himself out to Foodies for appearances during events between the Bundys and the Darcys
@@1983jblack He only did that after Ward died. He'd never risk Ward disowning him and leaving him out of the will.

1:16 It's Vickie, Danny Tanner's girlfriend from Full House.
The guy in the blue jacket was tougher in Roadhouse.
Yes he was, and as one of the shuttle pilots in armageddon.
USA CARS JUST AMAZING
It's jimmy from road house.
That the villain from "Roadhouse?"
3:06 fsd or full self driving 3:42 nobody driving that cab
KITT NEEDS A SIREN SOMETIMES TO CATCH THE BAD GUYS!!
reall good work ther. most scenes in rain but you just had to have those 2 scenes where its a bright sunny day.
Am I the only one who can see bits of plywood ramp go flying whe. Kitt does turbo boost jumps.
Dukes of hazzard to. Sorry my OCD kicking in lol
Tires that screech on dirt, forgetting to replace the v8 rumble with a turbine whine, zooming in on KITT's voicebox. Classic Knight Rider.

KITT is our Tesla of the 80's. 😂😂😂
Except “auto-driving” worked in KITT😂😂
Cheezy but brings back memories, lol
Oh, THAT kind of goon.
Pretty impressive to make that jump at only 22mph
48mph
Is that Tony Dow?
Oh yeah I saw the driver covered up sitting in the rear driver side seat driving KITT
Beaver's brother Wally.
Now Telsa should be making these cars .
When the blue jacket guy ran out the door, it was darker outside than when he emerged on the other side.
The killer was Eddie Haskell.
PRESENT DAY ENDING. HOLD ON A MINUTE THERE LANKY!! WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO SEE SOME ID.
Jimmy is just trying to get to his new job in Jasper, Missouri. And meanwhile, it’s raining on him, but not Kitt.
Isnt that Vicky Larson, one time love interest of Danny Tanner?
Why is it light outside and when go in the house to fight the guy its dark ‼️
Which episode is this?
Season 1 episode 21 : Nobody dose it better
Wally Cleaver and Michael in an AMC Eagle
El Auto Fantástico , nadie lo hace mejor , capitulo 21 de la temporada 1
oh god the amc eagle. my previous job i had 2 customers with a wagon and a hatchback. they are piles.....
Isn't that the same bad guy from Roadhouse ?
The tesla before the tesla
Leave it to beaver...Big Brother was the bad guy 😢
How come the police don’t take everyone and sort it up later
3:14 totaled car
I wonder what was the second thing KITT didn't understand?
Pretty sure one of the TransAms were destroyed after this jump.
dmc Delorean
I always wondered a car with all that tech and it didn't have the ability to tint its windows?
KITT did have that i remember several times he tinted the windows.
Season 1 i think.😃
Dammmmm kitt driving by it self
If you're not familiar with Knight Rider, you'd know KITT can drive by itself among other things
Elon Musk watched too many Knightrider episodes. 😁
In the 80s, the bads guy were either tall and preppy or bald and fat 😂
RYAN
Pfft. That was just a cheap knockoff of Knightboat. What's the matter, couldn't the director find a canal, an inlet, or a fjord?
Airwolf was better 😂
Hmm never heard of this show.
This was a cheesy show, I just realized. But fine, I guess, for the 80s.
All these shows I used to watch as a kid.....the acting was really terrible.
Well, now I know why I never watched one second of this abortion of a show. The worst screenwriting dialogue imaginable, and the worst plot structure imaginable. The acting was pretty lame as well. Even the editing. My instincts to never go anywhere near it, 4 decades ago, were spot on.
My god this show SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED.
