Watch Climactic Fight Scene From 'Knight Rider 2000'įor a 1991 made-for-TV affair, the show is passably entertaining. And Michael, Shawn and KITT decide to keep fighting crime for the Knight Foundation.
In the end, they're triumphant, ridding the police force of its corruption and preventing the reintroduction of real guns to the world. They eventually wreck the Chevy and have to install KITT's mind into a new Trans Am (red this time, instead of the original show's black). She and Michael team up against the corrupt cops. For her troubles, she gets shot in the head, only to be saved by a revolutionary new procedure that allows doctors to implant a Knight Industries chip in her brain. This leads her to discover that the cops themselves are behind the killing and are hoping to stir up enough unrest that they'll be given their guns back. Meanwhile, a fresh-faced young female officer named Shawn McCormick (Susan Norman) discovers that the gun the mayor killer used was a model that used to be issued to police. After a couple of initial malfunctions – including the mistaken apprehension of James Doohan, playing himself and immediately recognized by Michael as Scotty from Star Trek - this new super-Chevy seems to be working fine. When Michael agrees, he discovers that most of the original KITT has been disassembled and sold off for parts, so he rebuilds the car's AI and installs it in his 1957 Chevy. Worried that they won't be able to deliver, Knight Foundation head Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare, reprising his role from the original show) convinces Michael Knight (a returning Hasselhoff) to come out of retirement.
To remedy the situation, the new mayor (Lou Beatty Jr.) asks the Knight Foundation to accelerate the development of its new project, a follow-up to KITT called the Knight Industries Four Thousand. At the start, the mayor of San Antonio is killed by an assailant (Mitch Pileggi) with a real gun, which reinforces the cops' view that their lack of actual weapons puts them at a disadvantage. And the criminals themselves are no longer incarcerated instead, they're just cryogenically frozen for the duration of their sentences.ĭepending on your point of view, this might sound like a salutary or terrible situation, but the police in that far-off year of 2000 hate it. Handguns have been banned and cops carry ultrasound blasters that incapacitate criminals. In Knight Rider 2000, it's the year 2000 and America has changed its views on policing.
