It is interesting to see some of the future predictions they had at the time.

That said, its not without its interesting points. To say nothing of the fact that somehow Devon and Knight have both aged very little, even though the story is set 15 years AFTER the series ended (5 years in real life). Now KITT uses profanity and throws temper tantrums, both of which were foreign to the original series. Now Michael Knight is a genius with electronics, something that was never the case before. There is no campy action or offbeat humor, the story is much slower-paced than the typical TV episode. There is no Bonnie, the attractive and intelligent female mechanic who was in most of the series.

There is no black Pontiac, as KITT was sold for scrap and had to be rebuilt. The film lacks a lot of what made the original TV series so memorable. The plot follows an illegal arms trade being organized in the "near future" (the year 2000) by corrupt police and government officials, with Michael Knight coming out of retirement and being helped by new protagonists at the Foundation. If you enjoyed the 1980s "Knight Rider" series as I have, you will be disappointed by this low quality movie. I watched this film on Netflix out of curiosity. The movie then cuts into a commercial and then returns with Shawn telling Michael that she had "the techies look KITT over." The opening dialogue with Shawn admitting to Michael that she had him "pegged as a loser" when they first met was cut. After Devon is killed, Michael returns to the garage to say goodbye and punches Maddock.We see a brand new shot of the police cars speeding away from the camera. It takes place just before we see KITT speeding by the crane on the train tracks. The conversation in the prison regarding Watts is entirely cut, and the movie returns from the commercial break with KITT telling Michael that he is detecting some "company." That leads into an extra scene in the movie not seen in the NBC version.The scene where Shawn and Kurt interact in the locker room is cut. The movie returns with Michael on the side of the highway with KITT with Adam 2525 pulling up behind them. After Shawn finds out she was betrayed, the movie breaks into a commercial (same place where NBC originally cut for a commercial).When Shawn decided to drive Michael's Chevy, after she starts the engine, the movie cuts to a commercial and cuts out the banter between Michael and Shawn on the road as KITT takes them for the ride of their lives, and cuts to near the end where KITT almost crashes into a garbage truck.When KITT and the Knight 4000 square off, the second uttering of "ass" is blanked out.That's my agenda, what's yours?" The sound is restored as Michael enters the room. and I wanna nail the bastard that did it. In the scene where Maddock and Shawn are discussing agendas at her interview, the line goes "I was shot point-blank in the head-"at this second, the rest of the dialogue is blanked out, eliminating ".The movie picks up after a commercial break with KITT complaining of his new body. The conversation where Devon reveals the fact that police officers might be involved in the gun-running is cut.After KITT is reactivated, the movie cuts to a commercial, and then returns with Adam 2020, Kurt and Shawn's unit, already in pursuit to the robbery.

In the garage scene, the movie blanks out the word "ass".Kurt drops her off at her apartment, she asks him to run a ballistics on the handgun, and it cuts to where Michael and Devon are speaking in the garage. Shawn's birthday party is entirely cut.When we first see Michael Knight, the movie immediately cuts to Michael walking down the dock, instead of showing him drive his boat to the dock.In the Sci-Fi Channel's airing of the movie, we see numerous edits and one addition from the original NBC version:
