Give Me Liberty... or Give Me Death

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 13 February 2018]

Knight Rider stays ahead of the time. There is sabotage on a car race running on alternative fuels and Michael enters as a racer to investigate.

A cable television channel is covering the races and it ends up being a bit too exciting as cars career off the road or explode.

Michael is pursued by a nosy reporter Liberty Cox. When an Arab racer is arrested because his oil producing country has more to gain if this race fails, Michael finds it all a little bit too convenient.

A fun episode, less cheesy than usual and nice to see someone was promoting green car technology all those years ago.

Cars of the future

Decent storyline, but man did they go a little overboard with Liberty Cox and the moonshine twins. The car chase scenes worked well and the acting wasn't too bad.

Burn rubber!!

Michael and K. I. T. T enter the Alternative 2000, a cross country race for cars that run on alternative fuel. They are there to find a saboteur, not to win, but find themselves having to rescue nosy reporter Liberty Cox in each lap.

A serviceable episode that has plenty of car action on the race track, an attempted assassination and an interesting character in Robin Dearden who is a suspected of causing the sabotage.

GREAT SOUNDTRACK

On the MILL CREEK DVD release HURTS SO GOOD is replaced by generic KNIGHT RIDER music but on my original DVD set of the series the song was left in place
