That said, the referential humor is easily overshadowed by scenes in which the "Knight 4000" takes the car chase to the next level by floating down the canals of the San Antonio Riverwalk. It's set in the year 2000 (hence the title), and there's a genuinely funny reference to one "President Quayle" (best for parents alive at that time and history buffs of all ages), and a couple other references to contemporary (at the time) figures and events that show a spark of satire. It's hilariously bad and corny, but not without some self aware humor to let the viewer know that the movie's creators are (mostly) in on the joke as well. Knight Rider 2000 is a good barometer to show far television has come since the days when David Hasselhoff and a pompously-charming talking Trans-Am drove around LA busting bad guys, with the crime of the week solved by the end of the episode, two episodes tops.

Meanwhile, Michael Knight ( David Hasselhoff) is reluctant to rejoin Devon and Knight Industries, as he's taken to fishing as he tries to reclaim his identity from his crime-fighting past, but circumstances lead him to join forces once again with the charmingly pompous KITT, who now embodies a '57 Chevy, as they help Shawn, Devon, and Russell in their quest to foil Watts' devious scheme.įor fans of bad TV and cheesy made-for-TV movies from the era before The Sopranos heralded the so-called "Golden Age of Television," here's a goofy slice of questionable nostalgia. Watts shoots and presumably kills Shawn, as she's betrayed by her partner and colleagues in the police department, but is brought back to life using a risky surgical procedure that also includes a memory chip used by the old KITT car. Meanwhile, Shawn begins to uncover a conspiracy in which Watts, under an assumed name and heading an organization in favor of rearming the police (with obvious allies among the cop rank-and-file), is getting guns into the hands of criminals in the hopes of bringing back guns. Before committing to using this new vehicular weapon in the war against crime, city officials would like to see a prototype first. In the aftermath of the assassination, representatives of The Knight Foundation offer a solution: The Knight 4000, promised by representatives Devon Miles and Russell Maddock as being the high-tech advancement of the KITT car from the 1980s. Once out of prison, he assassinates Mayor Cottam, and barely escapes a shootout with rookie cop Shawn McCormick, who finds a real gun on the scene after the shootout, which is odd, because guns have been banned and the police have been disarmed from packing anything stronger than stun-guns. In KNIGHT RIDER 2000, it's the year 2000, and Thomas Watts ( Mitch Pileggi) has been released from a private prison where he was kept in frozen suspension, as is now the policy toward criminals.
