With a truly iconic car, soundtrack and using the well used episodic template of the "wandering stranger" also used in shows such as the Incredible Hulk, Highway to Heaven, Airwolf and The A-team, Knight Rider became a classic, even in its own time. Betrayed and left for dead detective Michael Long was rescued and given a new identity by dying billionaire Wilton Knight, after he woke Michael Long took the surname Knight and honored Wiltons dying wish that Michael become a force for good, a gentleman vigilante using KITT and the services of Flag, headed by British gentleman Devon Miles. Starring David Hasselhoff, the show, which first aired in 1982, followed the misadventures of Michael Knight and the artificially intelligent Pontiac Trans Am known as KITT (Knight Industries 2000). "Battlestar Galactica" Larson, Knight Rider was and still is a cult classic. Saturday in particular was the day to spend in front of the TV with your wired remote control - in the morning we had cartoons and childrens shows like the Muppet Babies, The Racoons, Fragile Rock and many others, but it was in the afternoon that Saturday TV viewing got really good with shows like the aforementioned A-Team, Airwolf, Streethawk, Baywatch and one other called Knight Rider.Ĭreated by Glen A. The 80's revival is far from over with a sequel to last years Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in production, with a possible Dino-Riders movie and a second attempt at bringing He-Man and the Masters of the Universe currently in development, and lets not forget Paul Feigs Ghostbusters.ĭespite having less TV stations, less money and virtually no CGI, the 80's gave us some golden TV shows and movies. Joe even Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy capitalized on the trend to become the surprise hit of last year. The third and final movie trend is that of 80's Nostalgia which has thus far brought us movies such as Transformers, The A-Team and G.I. The second movie trend sweeping over Hollywood is that of the Japanese invasion with movies like Pacific Rim, Godzilla and Edge of Tomorrow. Hollywood is currently in the hold of three movie trends, with the first obviously being that of the cinematic universes with the MCU, the DCCU, The X-Men CU and the Universal Monsters CU. Up until now with Fan Film Friday we have been highlighting some of the more impressive movies made by fans but this week we are going to highlight something slightly different.
