The actor who played Devon- Edward Mulhare- died of cancer a few years after this show. The final point I'd like to make is how devastated I was at the death of Devon Miles who was an integral character in the original KR.

It is a shame we didn't get to see this develop into a TV show (even a short-lived one). It's hard to find fault with this film even if you look for it (which I didn't). Some reunion movies can show lazy scripting but I didn't see this in KR 2000. And, it is an interesting story with interesting characters and a very good plot. The story was great despite the lack of stunts. should always retain an important part in the KR universe, we didn't need to see him Turbo Boost or Ski Mode in order to make the story great. However, I didn't find this a fault as for once, the characters carried the show and whilst K.I.T.T. is not a black Trans-Am and that there are no major stunts in this movie. Secondly, one fault (considered by most fans) is that K.I.T.T.
This is always a problem with reunion movies you wonder if it would really be that hard to at least mention characters who don't show up for the film. No mention of Bonnie (or April) and RC3 from the original series. Eventually, Michael and Shawn (the policewoman) do battle against the evil Thomas Watts (played by Mitch Pileggi), the man who originally shot Shawn.
(whose brain was kept even after the car was scrapped). This means she will eventually team up with Michael Knight (who comes out of retirement) and K.I.T.T. A policwoman is shot in the head and one of K.I.T.T.'s original chips is implanted in her head. is just a memory and Michael Knight has been on one long sabbatical. The Foundation for Law and Government still exists but K.I.T.T. The story is set in 2000 where police officers are forbidden to carry guns and criminals are cryogenically frozen. I don't really rate most reunion movies as they never match the spirit of the original but to be fair, how can they ever? Can an artist recreate an original painting? No, so you have to let a few things pas by when reviewing a reunion movie. ***CONTAINS SPOILERS*** Knight Rider 2000 was not without a few minor faults however, these faults were so minor that one could easily forgive them when viewing this enjoyable movie. But good to see three of the members of the original KR back. Look for a pre-X-Files Mitch Pileggi as the heavy on the movie. But as police corruption has hit an all time high and only one female good cop on Michael and Kitt's side, they team up for one last ride. But still as Michael is about to walk away, he agrees to fix up Kitt himself. And that he is disappointed to see his "friend" being treated like dirt by the new owner and boss of FLAG Maddock, who is more of a creep as Devon the lesser of the two evils. As Michael should had really told him off and threaten to quit as he could not come and go like Kitt Speaking of Kitt Michael would only come back for him. Liked Devon to begin in the original show but then he got power hungry and if anybody was not a friend, it was him. Despite wanting to stay in retirement he agrees to do so as he also counts Devon as a friend. As Michael Knight who owns a fishing shop and is called back into by his former boss for thirty days, Devon Mills. Though it does get it right still it is far from it. The one let down is the action there are few action scenes and those that do take place simply aren't very good, but the film as a whole has a solid ambiance that makes it rather likable.Īs really that in the future of Knight Rider that the cars would be made. I was particularly delighted to see Mitch Pileggi playing another villainous role riffing on his turn in Wes Craven's SHOCKER. The early futuristic set dressing is quite fun as is the political debate, and the cast members all do a dedicated job. KNIGHT RIDER 2000 has a pleasant early '90s feel to it which brings it in line with sci-fi fare from that era. The story sees KITT rebuilt from scratch and David Hasselhoff coming out of retirement to help fight corruption from within the police force as well as a murderous mad man intent on wreaking havoc in the city. However, it's still pretty entertaining for what it is, and it has a lot of fan-pleasing elements included too.

A TV movie updating of the classic KNIGHT RIDER series, this was envisaged as a pilot for a new revamped show which didn't get picked up.
