"One man can make a difference," intones a dying
millionaire--well, one man and a superduper car, backed with millions of
dollars! Welcome to the deliciously ridiculous world of Knight Rider, the
early '80s TV series that launched the career of David Hasselhoff and his
magnificent coif (both later seen in the insanely popular Baywatch).
After being shot in the face, detective Michael Long is revived as Michael
Knight (Hasselhoff) and partnered with an indestructible talking car called
K.I.T.T. (voiced by William Daniels). The duo travel around the country solving
crimes--basically, it's The Lone Ranger with the car as Silver and Tonto
combined. Supported by finicky British executive Devon Myles (Edward Mulhare)
and sexy engineer Bonnie Barstow (Patricia McPherson), Knight and K.I.T.T. take
on everything from motorcycle gangs to corporate crooks to K.I.T.T.'s own evil
twin, K.A.R.R.
