Interesting facts

  • Based on: Knight Rider

Knight Rider 2010 is a 1994 American science fiction action television film directed by Sam Pillsbury and written by John Leekley, loosely based on the television series Knight Rider. It is the second installment of the Knight Rider film series. The film stars Richard Joseph Paul, Heidi Leick, Michael Beach, and Don McManus. It aired in syndication in the United States on February 13, 1994, as part of Universal Television's Action Pack programming block.

Production

The early drafts of the script were far closer to the original series even including KITT (who would have been a female); however, the makers believed at that time there would be no high-tech cars. Ultimately this movie had little in common with Knight Rider's basic concept, except the title, a talking car, and the "one man can make a difference" concept.

The car is a custom "Ford Mustang" built on an MN12 1994 Ford Thunderbird chassis; its grunge style is very different from the sleek Pontiac cars that were the two incarnations of KITT, whose AI would have been removed and replaced with K.D. (Hannah Tyrie).
