I'll admit, it had its flaws, but it was still much better than the Knight Rider rip off NBC did with the Mustang and the F-150. It sucked they killed off Devon, and that they didn't use the black firebird, but they were smart enough to bring back most of the cast.
If someone asks if you are a god, you say, "yes!"
No, there are two people in this world including myself who found this movie highly enjoyable. I thought the script (while somewhat action lacking) had a good story and all the characters were well written and very beleavable. I was so disappoinated when I was 10 that it was never picked up as a series as they were advertising at the time. TKR, or the patheitc 2008 fisherprice remake in my mind never happened in the knight rider universe, only the original series and its only true sequeal -2000, exists.
shareso...make that 3 people who love this movie. so wished it couldve been picked up as a series and actually ran a good few seasons. Team Knight Rider and Knight Rider 08 never happened for me either
and it's only true sequel - 2000
I liked it too. I recorded it back when it first aired, when I was 11, and watched that tape many times after.
I actually liked that they killed off Devon as I felt that it gave some real emotion to the plot rather than killing off a random character who the audience doesn't care about.
I didn't mind it. Finished up the first Season on DVD, and this movie was included as a special feature.

I still love the movie after 25 years, and agree about the "Team" series and the '08 revamp. Both were horrible; the original still works though.
