made-for-TV movie for
Universal Television's
Action Pack very loosely based on the television series
Knight Rider.
Differences between Knight Rider and Knight Rider 2010
- The car is a custom "Ford Mustang" built on a mid-'90s Ford Thunderbird chassis, its grunge style very different from the sleek Pontiac cars that were the two incarnations of KITT, whose AI would have been removed and replaced with K.D. (Hannah Tyree)
- There is nothing in common with Knight Riders basic concept, except the title, a talking car, and the "one man can make a difference" concept.
- Notably, early drafts of the script were far closer to the franchise, even including KITT, (who would have been a female), however the makers believed at that time there would be no hi tech cars.
Plot
In a
Mad Max style future, Jake McQueen is the ultimate smuggler, smuggling in Mexicans for money to survive, only for his smuggling to come to a halt when he is busted by his brother while getting his truck repaired.
