Show season: Whole show  1  2  3  All

All of series 1

Mistake Continuity: Even after KITT's voice modulator changes to the three bars in the episode "Hearts of Stone," any shot of KITT starting himself up still shows the old voice modulator (a simple red square).

Mistake Revealing: In the first few episodes watch KITT's glowing square. In some scenes the flasher says KNIGHT 2000 and other times it does not.

Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1)

Mistake Revealing: When KITT takes part in the race and goes up on two wheels, you can see that the stunt driver is behind the wheel and that a dummy is strapped into the passenger's seat.

Mistake Continuity: If you look closely at KITT throughout the pilot, the position of his scanner lens changes from being the normal scanner that we're all used to, and the scanner being at the very tip of the front bumper. (The latter case is because the car was used for a promo shots to sell to NBC, and after the show was picked up, they changed KITT's look, but still used the earlier shots).

Mistake Other: During the demolition derby, the shot of KITT releasing his smoke screen is flipped; you can see that the license plate is backwards.

Mistake Revealing: There is a scene where KITT drives over to Michael, and you can see the drivers seat is really a guy dressed up in a light brown suit to look like a car seat. You can see for a visor that its a glass panel made to look like a hollow head rest, but you plainly see the guy take away his hand off the steering wheel.

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": Watch the scene when Michael fell asleep. At the end of the cop chase the cops get out. Watch the license plate California KNIGHT in yellow letters. The next scene reads Nevada MCC224 and has an original Trans Am rather than KITT's rear.

Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (2)

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": During Comtron's Demolition Derby, Michael engages auto control. Michael controls the wheel during the ski mode stunt. When the car drops back on four wheels, Michael is driving with a regular steering wheel instead of KITT's steering wheel.

Mistake Revealing: After KITT has been taken by the crooks, KITT auto cruises. Watch the spin circle showoff in slow motion. KITT is spraying gasoline out of his side tank all over the road as he's spinning circles.

Mistake Revealing: The two carjackers get ready to smash a brick into KITT's window. Play slow motion. When the mexican throws the brick, he actually throws the brick twice.

Mistake Revealing: During the Comtron Demolition Derby after Buddy sprays oil, Michael asks him not to push another button. Buddy decides to push the next button for Smoke Screen. The license plate is mirrored THGINK (instead of KNIGHT) before the smoke blows.

Mistake Continuity: As Michael realises how he will be stopped on the way to the airport, he pulls over. KITT's front lower bumper does not have its spotlights, it is just a plain bumper.

Mistake Continuity: After Michael gets shot and gets in his car to race to the airport, he calls Devon on the intercom. Before he gets into the car, he flinches and grasps his left side shoulder area where he was originally shot. When he talks to Devon, he's grasping his right shoulder. After he finishes talking and continuing the drive, he grasps the left one again.

Mistake Other: The crooks steal KITT. When KITT announces himself, the crooks slam on the brakes. When the car comes to a halt, the back seat cushion is thrown forward. When the crooks take off, the back seat looks as if it hasn't ever moved forward.

Deadly Maneuvers

Mistake Other: When Michael and K.I.T.T. go to rescue LT. Ladd off the firing range,the steering wheel isn't K.I.T.T.s usual steering wheel, it has metal bars coming out to the handgrips.

Mistake Factual error: The sign in front of the tank Lt. Ladd is trapped in reads "ORDINANCE TESTING FIELD, DANGER.", but an ordinance is a type of decree or law. They probably meant 'ordnance', which is another word for artillery.

Slammin' Sammy's Stunt Show Spectacular

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": Watch the end of the test run for Michael and KITT. Michael was using the KITT steering wheel, but then he gets out of the car and it switches to a performance steering wheel instead.

Just My Bill

Mistake Other: Just as Michael jumps over the roadblock, the whole front of K.I.T.T. flexes showing it's not a real firebird but a mock up.

Not a Drop to Drink

Mistake Continuity: When Michael is evading the earth movers you can clearly see his left hand at the 12 o'clock position on a normal round steering wheel, rather than the aircraft-like yoke.

No Big Thing

Mistake Continuity: At the end when Michael is driving Devon in K.I.T.T, there is a truck behind Devon which isn't behind Michael, depending on who is talking in the shot.
