KITT always says that he can't withstand the magnitude of the explosion and always comes out without a scratch.</div> <bR> <div> MONITOR PRINTOUTS</div> <div> How the printouts you saw on KITT's little monitor were always BASIC source code?</div> <div> When KITT prints something , why is there always a typewriter sound?</div> <bR> <div> TURBO BOOSTS</div> <div> How, when KITT made a huge jump, the shot of the car passing overhead showed all the wiring and conduits underneath, but when KITT hit the ground and it was hard to see it, the bottom of the car was flat like cardboard?</div> <div> How part of the time when Michal hits the Turbo Boost button KITT jumps and part of the time KITT accelerates to above 200 mph? </div> <div> How KITT manages to jump into apartment buildings without causing any structural damage? I mean, KITT has to weigh about 20 tons at least! </div> <div> How, in regards to the mechanical gadgets controlled by KITT and the Turbo Boost feature, KITT loses his ability to do these things based upon their usefulness?</div> <div> How Turbo Boost could do the same thing as Super Pursuit Mode before they had Super Pursuit Mode?</div> <div> How in KITT vs KARR, KITT comes out without a scratch after Turbo Boosting through the car?</div> <div> How KITT is the most brilliant car in the world and says to Michael, "Their is insuffiecient distance for turbo boost" and they turbo boost anyway?</div> <div> Ever notice how Michael always turns around right after KITT clears a turbo boost?</div> <div> Towards the end of Knight in Retreat KITT is driving and turbo boosts but yet you can see a finger pressing the button as he is speeding at 100mph?</div> <div> Why SPM never lasts very long...only about 1-2 min..why can't Michael floor it?</div> <bR> <div> TURNS</div> <div> How, at 150+ mph, the g-forces in the turns were like the car was doing 45?</div> <bR> <div> KITT BEING REBUILT</div> <div> How, the first time KITT was wrecked, they called in hundreds of scientists and engineers to fix him, but the last time, they did it in a garage with some kids from auto shop? </div> <bR> <div> LAUGHTER</div> <div> How comic relief was always a child or a dork? </div> <bR> <div> SOUND EFFECTS</div> <div> How whenever KITT would use Turbo Boost and the camera would change shots, the sound effects would start over?</div> <bR> <div> SEMI FOUL-UPS</div> <div> How much bigger the semi seems on the inside?</div> <div> In the semi KITT's doors could be open on both sides and there would be plenty of room. Then KITT backs out and he clears the sides by inches.</div> <div> Not to mention the fact that the semi never stops and it's always driving on the same road</div> <div> How, whenever KITT backs out and does that turn around thing from the semi, you can see the shadow of the camera truck? </div> <div> How, when KITT pulls out of the semi, it is almost always going in the opposite direction that Michael wants to go?? </div> <div> KITT heads towards the semi at almost 80mph, yet cruises at 10mph into the semi?</div> <bR> <div> INTRO ERRORS</div> <div> How, at the end (in the dusty desert shot), when KITT's driving towards the camera, you can see the tracks where they drove out to turn around and drive at the camera?</div> <bR> <div> THE INFAMOUS TURBO BOOST BUTTON</div> <div> Then there's the infamous "Turbo Boost" button. It's always switching back and forth between two different ones. (The Episode where this really comes to mind is the KARR one where they plow into each other in mid air. In the first part of the episode it's the red button with the lights on the side of it that says turbo boost in white. Then at the end, it's a simple white button with TURBO BOOST in black)</div> <bR> <div> KITT'S DRIVING</div> <div> How, whenever KITT drives by itself, there's always a huge lump behind the driver's seat?</div> <bR> <div> DEVON'S CALLING</div> <div> How, whenever Michael vocally instructs KITT to contact Devon, he also always presses a series of buttons? (Seems just a little redundant...) </div> <bR> <div> How can Michael dial Devon if KITT's top was down?</div> <bR> <div> SUPER PURSUIT MODE</div> <div> How, whenever KITT is driving on a dirt road with muddy tires and Michael engages Super Pursuit Mode, during the conversion the wheels are always squeaky clean? </div> <div> How, in Super Whiz-Bang Neato Pursuit Mode, KITT was always accelerating? (They never hit top speed!) --How KITT managed to fit all the extra body components for not only Super Pursuit mode, but also had room to change into a convertible?</div> <div> How the sound effects for Super Pursuit Mode changed at least three times through the last season: from a sonic boom to heavy engine sounding stuff, to whispy wind noises? </div> <div> How KITT engages SPM mode and you can still see Michael's finger pressing the button?</div> <div> Ever notice there are never any cars around when KITT is in SPM?</div> <bR> <div> MICROJAM</div> <div> How KITT can use the microjam to unlock mechanical devices such as metal handcuffs and doorlocks? </div> <bR> <div> VIDEO PLAYBACK</div> <div> How, whenever KITT plays back a video which he has recorded, multiple angle shots are included? </div> <bR> <div> EJECT R/L</div> <div> How, when Micheal looks at a building and tells KITT he needs a boost af about 100ft up, when he's boosted he lands ever so perfect on the roof? </div> <div> How Michael can always land perfectly into KITT's seat, even when he jumps off a 7 story building? </div> <div> How, whenever Micheal jumps off a building, he always has a few strings attached to his jacket? </div> <div> Ever notice how KITT can eject the seat past the steering wheel without damage and not have Michael hit the steering wheel at all?</div> <bR> <div> KITT'S TIRES</div> <div> How KITT's tires squeal like anything when he's on a dirt road? </div> <bR> <div> KITT'S DRIVING</div> <div> How they show a close up of the gear shifter going into drive, and in the next clip you see KITT backing up? </div> <div> How, many times when KITT drives himself, they'll show the accelerator pushed to the floor, and KITT pulls out nice and slow and easy?</div> <div> How the stunt man drives KITT with a round steering wheel? </div> <div> How, in one of the shots they use to show KITT coming out of the semi, KITT backs out, spins around, and takes off while the camera watches from the other lane<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >. </FONT>This means that both KITT and the camera are going the wrong way! </div> <bR> <div> MOVIE AND TV COINCIDENCES</div> <div> How much the show was influenced by the release of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan? Bonnie: "I'm a scientist, not a miracle worker!" Michael: "Evasive manuvers!" "Damage report!" </div> <div> the wrong way! </div> <bR> <div> INSIDE KITT</div> <div> How a significant portion of the ceiling inside of KITT is filled up by buttons, yet the exterior shot shows the auto roofs about an inch apart?</div> <div> How the upholstery is never burnt when grenades (and bombs and things) are thrown into KITT's trunk?</div> <div> How when KITT talks Michael never seems to look at his voice box?</div> <bR> <div> SPEEDING</div> <div> How KITT and Michael are never pulled over for going 295 in a 25 mile zone? (By the way, does KITT have a driver's license?) </div> <bR> <div> KITT'S MBS</div> <div> How, whenever KITT was about to get shot at, his hood would be raised up by about two inches, and if you looked really closely you could see tiny circles where the sparks would come out? </div> <bR> <div> GOLIATH</div> <div> How a fresh supply of rockets appears in the rocket launchers on Goliath while it is speeding towards Red Bluff AFTER it has already wasted most of them on the doors? </div> <div> How, towards the end of the episode, the bad guys' monitor in their trailer shows the crime in progress with DIFFERENT camera angles? </div> <div> How KITT can magically control numbers on the dice Micheal rolls while gambling? </div> <bR> <div> JUNKYARDDOG</div> <div> How Devon never shows up to chew out Micheal for losing the most expensive car in the world in Junkyard Dog after KITT is destroyed?</div> <bR> <div> TRUST DOESN'T RUST/KITT vs KARR</div> <div> When KARR goes off the cliff in Trust Doesn't Rust and its actually another car going off? </div> <div> When KARR turbo boosts over KITT with Bonnie and Michael inside in Trust Doesn't Rust. Only problem is no one is inside KITT.</div> <div> How in Trust Doesn't Rust, KARR's license plate is KNIGHT and in KITT vs KARR its KARR?</div> <div> How in TDR, KARR's scanner is red, but in KITT vs KARR its yellow?</div> <div> How KARR after being buried in sand for 2 yrs gets the same dash as KITT for the 3rd season?</div> <bR> <div> KNIGHT OF THE JUGGERNAUT</div> <div> How can KITT not know that he was being sprayed with a destablizing agent...he scans his exterior constantly.</div> <bR> <div> KNIGHT STRIKE</div> <div> How Michael tells KITT to keep his scanner peeled only to be buried until rifle fire a minute later?</div> <bR> <div> DEAD OF KNIGHT</div> <div> When KITT heads towards the airport, its acutally reused footage from Knight of the Pheonix(hitting the wing)</div> <bR> <div> KNIGHT OF THE PHEONIX</div> <div> How Michael gets shot by Tonya in the right shoulder, bleeds from the left and then it reverts back to the right</div> <bR> <div> SCANNING VITALS</div> <div> How can KITT scan someone's vitals? Even complicated machines have trouble doing that.</div> <bR> <div> DASHBOARD</div> <div> How can any passanger not notice that KITT's dash looks a whole lot different then an 82 trans-am?</div> <bR> <div> What's the point of a dial that turns KITT off? Why not a switch? And why locate it under the dash in the car?</div> <bR> <div> Whenever Michael gets in trouble with the law, no one looks on the dashboard for KITT's registration or insurance information that is supposed to be on the left-hand side?</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>A top 10 list of the most memorable Knight Rider sayings throughout the series:</B></I></div> <bR> <div> 1)Yo' Devon</div> <div> 2)Michael, there is not enough distance for turbo boost</div> <div> 3)Be careful, Michael</div> <div> 4)You got it</div> <div> 5)Michael, you are not going to do what I think you are going to do.

Thanks to k2000kid at the webboard(www.knightrideronline.com) for finding all 7 pages. I had some of them, but he filled in the rest. This page organizes most of those inconsitencies into groups where her sight only listed them. There are many more here then what she originally had.
