The video game in 2002 had Garth and karr. If knight rider had been given a 5th season, I believe KARR would have returned. Remember at the end of KVK, his cpu was still blinking indicating he was still alive. He likely would have been placed into a new car by some evil ex employee or something, similar to the episode killer KITT.

Only mine isn't completely evil as he is rebuilt with some of KITT's leftover parts after he was destroyed so he now has some level of a conscience and is like the terminator in terminator 2 where he learns value of life while still being reckless and rebellious at times. It's still in the works and I am still writing his story as he's part of something else that isn't really knight rider and is more a tribute to 80s culture.

In the Episode they never mention it. They don't show who painted it or whose idea it was to do it. He just appears with the Silver paint job in the scene with the ATM Machine with no explanation. Makes me wonder if originally they do talk about about it and show him getting the paint job but they cut out that scene do to time ?

"The Rockford Files" and "Fall Guy" GM had a program where they'd sell the studio as many GM vehicles as they needed for $1 a piece, as long as they were used for the shows. I'm sure the deal applied for "Night Rider". After the first season GM built 6 mid engined trucks for Lee Major's character to jump with, because GM exec's didn't like what little height and how the nose came down on the K-20. The studio would buy 2 per year for Jim. One pretty one for close up and one for the action scenes. Both were Pontiac Formulas, badging, hood and trunk lids replaced with less conspicuous Esprit style components. And painted light gold which stood out on cameras better .

What a great video ! QUESTION : Why would the producers opt to crush the cars ? To stop them being used in other productions ? Did no principal actors keep any cars ?

They got a lot of new cars which were on a derailed Train and couldnt be sold anymore, and so had to be scrapped (pretty sure this was ultimately for insurance reasons). The Production team secured these for making the Series, but they had to be Scrapped eventually or Universal would have gotten in legal trouble. So this just extended their time a bit.

For me it was a toss up between that and Knight of the Juggernaut. Honorable mentions to Halloween Knight and that episode where KITT has to hit the exact point on a dam wall to free someone drowning inside.

About 6 years ago an Australian TV channel showed every episode of Knight Rider. It was at a graveyard timeslot about 11PM. I have no idea why they showed this. I found it by accident about half way through season one. I went oh yeahhh! People should keep an eye on free to air channels because you never know!

Interesting. When I watched "Trust Never Rusts" and saw that Kar was destroyed. I tried to understand how the car was rebuilt in season 3 for "Kitt vs Kar" The only thing that I could think of that could make me believe that Karr was rebuilt was by Garth Knight and his cohorts in Goliath I & II. You see him looking at Kitt in the videos and studying him. Or he rebuilt Karr in "The Return of Goliath" in Season 2 and decided to hide Karr at a secluded area at the beach to pick him up later, but then he either ended up in prison or drove off the cliff with Goliath and that was it. This is why I wish the studio would have done a season 5 to possibly answer these questions because at the end of "Kitt vs Kar" you get a distinct feeling that you haven't seen the last of that evil vehicle. It's too bad that the Karr vehicles were destroyed and couldn't have been sold to a collector or put in auction. I'm sure they would've sold.

Do you know if the KARRs really got a "paint job"? In some scenes I think it looks like foil (8:27 in the wheel arch), just like the all-white-foil-wrapped KITT in Junk Yard Dog. Really loved that video!

I noticed that when it showed David Hasselhoff in KITT, as David was driving off, I saw the two TV monitors instead of the one TV monitor for the Season 3 & 4 dashboard, why didn't David drive the KITT that had the Season 3 dashboard?

This is very interesting. I’ve enjoyed your videos since I subscribed a few weeks ago. You got me into watching the show again since I first watched it in the 80’s. I’m looking forward to see if you guys can locate the actual semi trailer used in the show as FLAG’s mobile HQ.

The first guy that voiced KARR had a really sinister voice, i was scared of him as a kid, lol. The second person to voice him was none other than Peter Cullen - even as a kid i recognized Optimus, and then i loved KARR, lol.

Actually, you are mistaken. You may want to look it up. Peter Cullen played the voice of KARR in the episode called Trust Doesn’t Rust. Paul Frees who died in the year 1986 played the voice of KARR in the episode called KITT VS KARR.

Early in the episode, KARR says "My circuitry needs repairs and I want to alter my appearance." So I guess the two tone paint job was KARR's altered appearance.

@@AndrewChapman yup. It's right after John parks KARR in the garage. I'm 99% sure I've actually seen a syndicated version of this episode where the short conversation is deleted and they just show john close the door. Then KARR tells john about his circuitry needing repaired and how he wants to alter his appearance. John says he's not interested and KARR says "as you wish" and then presumably goes and destroys Eddie's pacemaker. The scene where John gives eddie the $5000 in his office is also missing. This was right before John shows Eddie KARR. Both are there on the DVD's though.

I'm sure it has come up and I missed it - but my question is in regards to the yellow scanner lights. Was this meant to show they faded while he was buried? Was just retconned to make him more unique a though he was always like that? Did the scanners get swapped out entirely or was it just clear plastic inlays? Thanks! I remember when I was in 4th grade not paying attention in class. I drew KITT and KARR airborn about to crash into each other and for some reason Grimlock was there helping in dino mode breathing fire at KARR.
