Knight Rider

By Linda Haywood • March 11, 2009


The 1982 TV series starred David Hasselhof as a cop who was shot in the face, but then rescued by a self-made billionaire committed to vigilante action. Wilton Knight treats Michael Long and gives him plastic surgery to rebuild his face. Not only that, but the wealthy do-gooder gives the ex-policeman a new identity and a Pontiac Trans Am with artificial intelligence: Kitt (which stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand). Knight Rider was hugely popular with everyone wanting a special sentient car that could rescue you and talk with little red lights. KITT can cruise at 300mph and jump 50 feet in the air!!
