    House of the rising Sun

    Seriously Michael should have known better, has anything good ever happened in a bar called the house of the rising Sun? Decent acting and car escapades.

    Knight of the Phoenix: Part 2

    This episode, which is the second part of the series opener shows the audience just what KITT is capable of, that is the hook for the audience as well as Glen Larson's lasting tribute to a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica (the flashing red lights.)

    Michael Knight and KITT take part in a demolition derby, enough for the bad guys to take an interest in Michael and his wonder car.

    Michael gets involved in a bar fight where he uses kung fu, breaks out of jail with the help of KITT and later jumps through a truck and then over another truck. Two unlucky thieves who try to steal KITT get ejected to the nearest cop car.

    Michael realises he need Devon Miles to help him out as he gets revenge against the people who left him for dead.

    Legendary cult actors John Quade and Charles Napier turn up as two hoodlums.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Although not directly featured in the story, the Knight Industries truck can be glimpsed briefly in the penultimate scene in the story (when KITT is being towed). This version of the trailer is black with a gold 'Knight Industries' logo. From the next episode, the trailer is all-white, before having its more familiar black with gold Knight chess piece design for the mid-season onward.
    • Goofs
      When KITT was trying to humiliate the car thieves, it's clearly obvious that it's a stunt driver and KITT has a regular dashboard and steering wheel.
    • Quotes

      Michael Long: [firearm ready] It's very kind of you to organize the evidence for me, Tanya.

      Tanya Walker: Look, don't do this. Whoever you work for, it can't be worth what I can do for you.

      Michael Long: Would you prefer this?

      [levels revolver at her face]

      Michael Long: It's not a starry night in Nevada, but it will hurt just as much.

      Tanya Walker: [realizes who he is] Michael Long...! Look, please don't do this. If I hadn't done it, Wilson would have. He'd have shot you. He gives the orders. We... we could share millions.

      Michael Long: How can we share millions, Tanya, if you're not the boss? Come on, Tanya, you're the boss. No one else.

      Tanya Walker: All right. I'm the boss. But we need somebody like you. I promise you a very rewarding... partnership.

      Michael Long: Not this time.
