Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
View MoreExactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
View MoreWhen the popular KNIGHT RIDER TV series finished, I guess the producers weren't quite ready to give up the ghost because they produced a couple of follow-on TV movies in the years after. The first at least had Hasslehoff to tie it into the series, whereas KNIGHT RIDER 2010 has absolutely nothing to do with the show or indeed even the spirit of the show.Sure, there's an armoured car with weapons in a couple of scenes, but that's the only scant connection. The rest of this is set in a post-apocalyptic world, with heavy nods to the MAD MAX films, where an evil organisation is presided over by a disabled scientist and our loner hero must use his wits and his high-powered car to rescue a kidnapped woman. Oh, and there's something about illegal organ donation, too. The acting is wooden beyond belief, the lead actor is simply terrible, and the production values are so appalling as to be non-existent which renders the many action scenes laughable. The one thing this has going for it is a villainous Brion James in typically arresting form, but sadly he can do nothing to save the film itself.
View MoreAs part of the lame Action Pack this was an attempt at a series that didn't fly but come on it was much better than Tek Wars. This was when cheap Canadian sitcoms were starting to break into TV. The Crystal bit was smart. The characters were mostly great it just wasn't knight rider. But seriously Team Knight Rider was even worse and both KITT and Michael made appearances - kind of. The villain sucked horribly - god bless the poor guy because I've loved some other stuff he did - Mummy Daddy in amazing stories. The African Canadian playing in this has done other cool stuff like Stargate Atlantis. I think the comparison to Battlestar Galactica 1980 goes too far I watched each and every one of those horrible horrible episodes - Starbuck befriends a cylon and saves the baby dr z. OK jumping the shark in the first season is pretty rare. Low budget is what killed this - people could have stomached the rest if the car hadn't looked so horrible.
View MoreI saw a comment on this movie that claims it is the one with the cameo appearance by TV's Scotty from Star Trek. This is incorrect. there were two Knight Rider Spin off movies in the 90s. Both were crappy. This one was made in 1994, knight rider 2010, without any people from the original TV show. It take place in a Mad Max style future where this guy either finds or builds a new kit. In many ways, a blatant and poor rip off of mad max... as the guy drives from place to place in this post apocalyptic future. The earlier one was knight rider 2000... from 1991... equally crappy, this one starred David Hasselhoff and yes... had a silly cameo appearance y James Doohan as himself. Avoid both.
View MoreThis movie is not what you think it would be. It was four in the morning and i was watching a marathon on the Sci-Fi channel and this movie popped up, and i had to watch it. At the beginning I thought this isn't to bad, but we do we get to see the car. Then the middle, got there and it was not what I expected. Though the movie isn't really a Knight Rider movie, but the action and somewhat of a story line make it a movie that if there is nothing else better on you might as well see it. If you are a Knight Rider fan waiting to see this movie you will know what I mean when you see it. My favorite thing about this movie would have to be basis of the story, it makes a great way to present a film. So if your not doing anything and aren't planning on doing anything, watch and see.
