    killer fashion

    Mihcael navigates the dog eat dog world of fashion while doing battle with a killer car whose only performance enhancing feature is a souped up bumper.

    Solid suspenseful season 3 episode!

    I liked this episode a lot! The "custom" car and the driver were scary and it was fun to watch Michael and KITT help out models in the fashion industry. Also veteran actor Alan Oppenheimer gives a great guest performance in this episode. I love Knight Rider so I'm biased. But I think this is one of Season 3's best episodes. Check it out if you like 80's action tv!

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Burton Armus' first Knight Rider script is one of the rare examples of a first draft being almost entirely identical to the finished show.
    • Goofs
      In the very last scene KITT's door is already open (visible as the model walks off) before Michael walks around the car and the door opening sound is heard.
    • Quotes

      Michael Knight: [driving KITT] I'm on my way in.

      Devon Miles: [through KITT's video monitor] Good. You've been rather difficult to reach lately, particularly last night.

      Michael Knight: I got a weakness for dancers.

      Devon Miles: Dancers pirouette on their toes to the strains of violins and flutes. They do not gesticulate wildly to the throbbing beat of bongo drums and saxophones.

      Michael Knight: Devon, they are innocent girls working their way through college.

      Devon Miles: [Devon glares at Michael]

      Michael Knight: Besides, every once in a while, I gotta get away...

      KITT: Away from whom?

      Michael Knight: Uh - I just gotta get away, period.

      Devon Miles: This subject is closed, for now.
