Like Knight Rider 2000 before it, this was a proposed pilot that never made it to a full series order and its no surprise. There’s more than one moment where someone pulls back some tarp to reveal… another car THAT ISN’T KITT! Even more maddening when you discover that they removed KITT from the story because they thought they wouldn’t have technology like that in a post apocalyptic future! Seriously?! Beyond that, this is a cheap and nasty Mad Max knock-off that is barely worth your time.
So, once again one man can make a difference and yes, by the end he’s driving a car with enhanced abilities thanks to a special Prism that contains AI. Throw into this his ex girl on the inside, Hannah and you’ve got something resembling a story. During his latest incursion onto US soil he upset the Chrysalis Corporation and its leader Jared (the always watchable scene-chewing Brion James). Yet Will’s not the only problem Jake needs to worry about. Hot on his trail is Marshall Will McQueen (yup, it’s his brother) who will stop at nothing to bring his sibling in, if only to get him on the right path. In the year 2010, Jake McQueen is an outlaw who ferries people into the US for money to survive. There’s no Michael, no KITT, no Knight Industries. It may have the name in the title, have been produced by the same people and have a ‘talking car’ of sorts in there… but it’s not Knight Rider. Okay, let’s just get this out of the way now.
