25 years ago Wilton Knight let people built KITT and Michael Knight was its driver. Today the creator of KITT has built a new one: the Knight Industries Three Thousand. The new KITT is a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR and is driven by Mike Traceur, the son of Michael Knight.

I don’t know. Back in the 80s I loved stuff like KITT, Airwolf, Street Hawk, but nowadays I have problems to activate my “suspension of disbelief“.

I have no problem to accept a great many things in a fictional universe but I’ve always thought it to be ridiculous when Superman stopped a train/bus by standing in its path.

I had the same problems with a lot of the details of the new KITT. Why the hell should an armour be dependent upon a computer? The new KR is a continuation of the old one, not a remake, thus I consider this a setback in comparison to the TransAm-KITT.

The new car body shell can change its colour? OK, that’s acceptable. But it can grow a new spoiler? WTF?

To come back to Superman: No matter how well armoured KITT is, when a SUV with a speed of 50-60 mph crashes into it, he must not stand still like a bridge pier.

The story is not exceptional, but acceptable. Although it’s not logical (from the old series’s POV) why Michael should have hidden the woman and his son).

Conclusion: One can watch it but one doesn’t need to.
