Knight Rider 2000, a review by addicted2dvdWeekend Movie Marathon From TV Series to Movie This weekend I decided to watch some movies where the original idea was from a TV Series... whether it is a movie remake of the series itself... or a continuation of a series... like a reunion special movie... it is all fair game this weekend... So I ended up watching... Knight Rider 2000 On the edge of loosing a local government contract, the Foundation and Devon recall Michael from retirement to oversee the completion of the Knight 4000. In a town where handguns are outlawed, crime has become rampant, and the current system of freezing convicts is not working. Michael returns on one condition, to reunited with his friend KITT. Sadly, KITT has been dismantled by KITT has been dismantled and the parts sold by Russell Maddock the new head of the Foundation. Devon manages to recover all but one chip which has been implanted in the head of Shawn McCormick, a female cop whose brain was destroyed by a bullet. He and Shawn, who has a chip on her shoulder as well as in her head, are teamed to stop the current handgun situation where they discover the hidden secrets of the local police department and restore KITT into a new vehicle. My Thoughts: This is a reunion movie that was hoped to become a whole new series... which unfortunately never happened. This reunion movie was a bonus feature of the Knight Rider: Season 1 boxset (which is why I used screen cap instead of cover above). I have heard a lot of people say they did not like this movie at all... I did though. I thought it was a good movie... though I do miss seeing the original K.I.T.T. From what I understand... this was supposed to serve as a pilot to s new spin-off series... unfortunately this never happened. I know I would have liked to seen it.

My Thoughts: I used to like Jerry Lewis a lot when I was younger. While I still found this to be an enjoyable movie... I think my tastes has matured some. But going by this film at least, while I can still enjoy his films, they don't seem to hold up to my childhood memories.

Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital Stereo, Commentary: Dolby Digital Stereo Subtitles: English Plot: The Red Dwarf crew stumble further into deep space facing an emotion-sucking polymorph, a psychotic mechanoid and a version of Earth where time runs backwards. Sdaehgems. Extras: Collectors Booklet Commentary Deleted Scenes DVD-ROM Content Featurettes Music Cues Outtakes Photo Gallery Scene Access Talking Book Chapters Trailers My Thoughts: The third series is really great. A new regular character is introduced: Kryten. He is a really great addition to the cast. Also Holly is replaced with a female version. Although I missed the deadpan delivery of the male Holly, the ditzy female Holly is also fun.This series is off to a great start with Backwards, where the crew lands on an alternate earth, where everything runs backwards. Marooned is a great character piece between Lister and Rimmer. Polymorph is simply fun with a shapeshifting something loose on the ship. In Bodyswap Rimmer convinces Lister to swap bodies (being a hologram is cannot touch anything with his normal body). But instead of the promised work out, he really pigs out with Lister's body. Timeslides is some timetravel fun, where the crew tries to change the past to prevent themselves being caught on Red Dwarf.
