Knight Rider

Circus Knights - S3-E22

Other mistake: Just after Michael finds Devon in the trailer, as he gets in K.I.T.T you see him put the gear into D and then he reverses. Then it shows you him putting the gear into R and then drives off. Looks like they got the footage the wrong way round in the edit.

Chariot of Gold - S1-E18

Other mistake: When the woman plays the video to show the people K.I.T.T, most of the footage you see cannot exist, especially seeing Michael driving inside K.I.T.T on K.I.T.T's monitor. Also when K.I.T.T crashed through the Comtron door from the pilot later on - when Michael sees the footage, this is just footage from other episodes rather than surveillance footage. (00:13:25)

Junk Yard Dog - S3-E14

Other mistake: The chemicals in the pool eat the seats, including the metal hardware, the steering wheel, and all the electronics, but the tires remain intact, and inflated.

Suggested correction: Molecular Bonded Shield protects KITT's exterior including tires, while his interior isn't protected. Therefore, his tires haven't been destroyed by acid.

The Topaz Connection - S1-E16

Other mistake: In an overhead shot of KITT speeding through the desert after Lauren's plane, you can see parts of KITT's hood wobbling against the wind. I seriously doubt a car made to be indestructible would have that happen.

Just My Bill - S1-E6

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

Forget Me Not - S1-E13

Other mistake: When Michael is carrying Micki up the cliff, she's supposed to be unconscious. But he's not holding on to her and her hand stays wrapped around his neck to hold on. Not something she should be able to do. When they're near the top, her hand position changes, but she's still able to hold onto him.

Mouth of the Snake [a.k.a. All That Glitters] (1) - S2-E21

Other mistake: At about 7 minutes into the show, you see a US border sign in English and Spanish lying on the ground. The English version says "500 yards ahead." The Spanish version says "150 metros" which is roughly 500 feet, not 500 yards. It is also not clear why a sign fairly far on the Mexican side would have English text at all, especially with wording that is more typical of US rather than Mexican signs. (00:06:49)

No Big Thing - S1-E8

Other mistake: When the semi is approaching Michael head on, KITT tell Michael to hit the brake, which Michael does. Then KITT tells Michael to put it in reverse, which Michael does. But then KITT says "why reverse, we could have jumped over?" as if he wasn't the one who suggested reversing.

A Knight in Shining Armor - S2-E13

Other mistake: After stopping Stone, Michael calls for KITT. When the car starts up, it's in gear, and the selector goes to P (park). After pinpointing the hidden entrance, the picture is of soft sand hills covering it. When KITT goes to enter, it's a defined entrance with a thin layer of stacked rocks in it.

White Bird - S1-E19

Other mistake: As the guy is shooting at KITT at the retreat, the sparks of the bullets run down the passenger side toward the oak tree with the blue and white umbrella on the patio. Even though Stevie is a blond wearing a blue sweater, the profile and arm appears to be Michael. A moment later, same thing down the driver side, with Michael's arm and profile.

The Final Verdict - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Michael and Marty are being chased and shot at, K.I.T.T jumps over the top of a hill. In the next shot of K.I.T.T driving away, you see a wheel trim rolling down the hill which has fallen off K.I.T.T. (00:39:45)

Junk Yard Dog - S3-E14

Other mistake: When KITT is heading off the two goons, he starts to chase them. As he does, you can see the hood behind the driver's seat, hiding the stunt driver. Also, when KITT is dropped into the pool of chemicals, you can easily tell that it's a model in a miniature set.

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.

raywest

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