C'mon, how badass is this???

I never knew why there is so much animosity towards the Gt-500?? Sure it costs $60K+ and weights 9000 pounds and is barely any faster than an 03/04 Cobra.....but if someone gave you one you would all take one in a second!!

If i ever win the lotto and don't mind blowing $100K to get one. I would in a heartbeat. I could care less about it's actual performance numbers. I'd just feel like a badass driving the BEST Mustang ever made.

BTW....David Hasselhoff makes a cameo to "hand over the reigns" of the family business to the new Knight Rider

Wicked! I would be all over a Black GT500 (especially a KR).

Show's starting now. opcorn: (west coast)

Well, pretty faithful to the original (****ty acting)

But its all about the car, which is badass.

Yeah and now Val Kilmore is doing KIT's voice...how cool is that?

From the previews i've seen the story just might make sense. Something about resurrecting the family business or something. It would make sense that 20 years later they used a modern car from this era.

I'm your huckleberry.....

You mean ... it's not gonna be The Hoff? Screw it. I want no part of it if The Hoff ain't in it.

Just so you all know, we loved it and Hoff is in it!

I wanted to throw up when I saw it

Turkey Sammich · Feb 18, 2008

I managed to get 43 minutes into it, before changing the channel. The first 15, I saw teh car, lesbian's, and a 3 some. After that, it was all downhill.

Wow. That chase was overwhelmingly retarded. Kitt can drive 600+ miles in 3 hours but it takes him 5 minutes to lose someone?

85_SS_302_Coupe · Feb 18, 2008

WTF is the point of having the non pursuit mode when you can change into looking like a base GT? Why not just roll around as the GT and then when it's time to throw down change into the GT500KR without all that stupid ricey crap on it?

Darkwriter77 · Feb 18, 2008

There were a LOT of things they should've done differently, but I dunno ... I still enjoyed it, for what it was (a made-for-TV movie). Pretty much got the feeling that it was mostly just a 2-hour-long Ford product showcase, as the only non-Ford vehicle I saw in the show was the GMC that the bad guys were driving (and it was promptly destroyed).

Even so ... loved the new KITT (in spite of the double-decker riceboy spoiler), and so it was a treat getting to watch a Shelby tear arse around for half the entire movie. I give it a one thumbs-up review.

Biggest disappointment: I honestly expected to see the Hoff jump into the older KITT and drive off at the end of the show, instead of just walking away.

+1 i was expecting to see the same thing.. Guess he had to catch up w/ his cheese burnger and budwieser. haha. jk hoff's the man

lol That's what I was thinking. "KITT can't shake a damn Ford Edge?" Nothing wrong with product placement but sheesh. lol I thought the second half of the show was a little better. Overall, it was about what I expected. Kumm3 pretty much summed it up.

In the early scene where the bad guys were checking out KITT in the garage, you can see parts from the old KITT laying around. There was a trans am under a cover and various parts from it scattered around.

I guess it was to say the new KITT was partially made from the old KITT...so there is some connection.

I agree though, it would have been nice to see the ole T/A make a cameo.

I watched about the first 15mins of it. It was full of bad acting and as corny as the original. Turned it off and found something better to waste my time on.

KyleEBK · Feb 18, 2008

It was pretty corny but not to bad, I never watch tv cuz most shows are so bad on there, I was thinkin the same thing in the car chase wodnering why the hell suv was keepin up with 500

ryan218 · Feb 18, 2008

i watched it will my old man...we liked it.

1987LXragtop · Feb 18, 2008

It was a Ford commercial...thats all. I did of course enter the contest for the GT 500 give away.

MrStang123 · Feb 18, 2008

Anyone ever seen that movie featuring the new 2005 GTO when it was first coming out?

Mustang5L5 · Feb 18, 2008

Wasn't there a Knight Rider movie called "Kight Rider 2000" that had a pontiac Banshee in it??

Was that lost in the Canon?

EDIT

Found it. Wasn't this the original Knight Industries Three Thousand?

Kumm3 · Feb 19, 2008

The Banshee was Knight 4000

yeah, it was called "The Last Ride" not a bad flick considering it was like a USA original or something like that. Dennis Hopper has a soft spot for cheesy assed flicks.

Thanks I never knew that name. I have been wanting to see it for the hell of it. Gonna head to the local blockbuster now.

I enjoyed every minute of it. The car is amazing. AND you can actually hear the charger too.
