Knight Rider

No Big Thing - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: 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.

No Big Thing - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: As KITT and the truck approach each other, the terrain alternates from tree lined to wide open. Also in the same sequence, after KITT suggests reverse, Michael's hand is shifting from reverse to the low gears.

No Big Thing - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: KITT tells Michael he is running low on gas. Before they changed to the view of his fuel gauge, it was on the 3rd bottom of the RPM indicator. When they change, it's put on the top just below the RPM indicator, and changes again to the 3rd bottom.

Trust Doesn't Rust - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, KARR has his own unique yellow voice modulator. However, when he is talking to the two robbers in their lockup and we see KARR mainly from the outside, the light flashing inside KARR as he speaks is red, suggesting that it is KITT (or at least the KITT prop, possibly filmed before the KARR's modulator was made or reused from elsewhere).

Trust Doesn't Rust - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, KARR doesn't appear to have a rear number plate as KITT does. However, in the shots of KARR smashing through windows/walls, he has KITT's ‘KNIGHT' plate.

Inside Out - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the driver of the lorry is radioing for a situation check, you see the driver with a radio in his hand. When you see them drive by and hear him still asking, the driver of the lorry isn't holding a radio, but has both hands on the steering wheel.

Forget Me Not - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When KITT drives off the edge of the cliff, the car changes from a pontiac to another standard car a number of times. When KITT lands, his flight trajectory was from approximately 10 feet, not 100 feet. He should have landed like a belly flop onto the sand, not a shallow dive.

Hearts of Stone - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When KITT jumps into the empty factory to save Michael the ramp is set a foot higher than the floor, yet when they drive out the same hole, the ramp is level with the floor so it can be driven down.

Hearts of Stone - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When KITT lands in the back of the pick-up truck near the end of the episode, the internal shot shows the girl starting to get out of the passenger's side. But in the next external shot, she is getting out of the driver's side.

Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: 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).

Devon Miles: Welcome aboard the Knight 2000.
Michael Long: Thank you. What's all this? It looks like Darth Vader's bathroom.
Devon: It's a one-of-a-kind car, Mr. Long. It is the fastest, safest, strongest car in the world. It is also completely fuel-efficient and it is operated entirely by microprocessors, which make it it virtually impossible for it to be involved in any mishap or collision. Unless, of course, specifically so ordered by the pilot.
Michael: Pilot? Don't tell me this thing flies.
Devon: No, but it thinks.
Michael: It thinks? My car thinks?
Devon: We like to think of it as our car.

Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1

Question: At one point, after promising help, Michael parks, and goes to a pay phone to call Devon. As he gets to the booth, over his left shoulder, there is a badly altered Pepsi sign. Black tape has been put over the word 'PEPSI' in the familiar logo, and also over the "si" in the phrase 'say Pepsi please'. What type of mistake would this be?

Movie Nut

Chosen answer: Before "product placement" became common, name-brand products were rarely, if ever seen in TV shows, mostly due to avoid advertising conflicts with program sponsors. The Pepsi logo may have been taped out to prevent any commercial infringements.

Are you kidding? Product placement was so rampant in the 50s that sometimes you'd wonder if you were watching a TV show or a paid ad.

Brian Katcher

Knight Rider wasn't produced in the 1950s. TV shows of that era had advertising more similar to the old radio shows from the 30s and 40s. The early 50s series often had a sole sponsor, so their product (and related items) was likely seen in a program. An announcer also informed the audience at the beginning that, "This program is brought to you by (insert brand name). " From the 60s on, brand-name products weren't generally seen in TV programs. Networks sold air time to multiple advertisers, and their ads were shown during the long commercial breaks. So no, I'm not kidding.

Answer: It wouldn't be a mistake. Anyone could have taped the sign for a number of reasons.
