CineTV Contest: Knightrider

avatar
(Edited)

With so many bad reboots made recently, it sometimes makes me weary to allow a director to let loose on a classic film in case they totally destroy a great idea. Whilst not terrible, Total Recall springs to mind as something they didn't do well.

This is my entry into the CineTV contest 20, Your Dream Reboot or Remake. Link is here

Another reboot that I am scared to watch is the A-Team. This was 6 pm Saturday prime-time viewing on TV for me right after Blockbusters. The thrill of seeing Hannibal and the boys take down some bad guys was a highlight of my youth. The exploding cars, the awesome 80's guns, and the van.

For movies that I would like to see a reboot of I have managed to narrow it down to 2 possible candidates. The first one is The Running Man which originally starred The Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

This film I loved when I watched it as it showed a dystopian future and one man overcoming all odds to reveal the corruption and evil of the elites keeping people in poverty. In this film, Arnie is classic Arnie, delivering his infamous I'll be back line... but only in a rerun quips the bad guy flummoxed back! hehe

With how crazy the world is now with the corruption through the elites and their corporatism, this could be prime for a reboot. However, there are many of these dystopian films around already and the theme has been done to death.

Knight Rider

This leaves the door wide open for a classic film from my youth starring another legend from the german speaking world. Let me introduce you to a personal hero of mine... David "Don't hassle the Hoff" Hasselhoff.

The Hoff single-handedly managed to make having a perm AND wearing a leather jacket look cool.

What film could be better for a reboot than Knight Rider? The story of one man and his car Kit. Unlike the evil computer Sal in 2001 - A Space Odyssey, Kit is a really friendly computer car that can drive on its own and save "Michael" from many sticky situations.

In the reboot, Kit the car could be made into an electric vehicle, I would say a Tesla but they don't look half as nice as the Audi e-tron! Just look at those trims...

Who could play The Hoff?!?

Those are some big shoes to fill and I think only someone like one of my favorite actors such as Tom Cruise might be able to do it. But he's too old now. I'm sorry Tom, I'm not going to show you the money, now beat it!

Although he's more known for his roles in chick flicks and romcoms, I think Ryan Gosling could play The Hoff. After his great performance in Drive, he has some credentials that could be worthy for him to step up to the plate in this big role.

The soundtrack to Drive was pretty good too, so we should also get Kavinsky on the phone and see if he can remix the knight rider theme!

The final important character for the reboot is who will play the voice of Kit?? I think none other than Snoop Dogg! The modern car could be super cool sounding like Snoop Dogg.

Thanks for reading.

It is pretty creepy the way everyone is ignoring what is happening to me and still going to Hivefest. Lay the dirty snatches out why dont ya. Fake it all you want creeps, its so obvious the blind eye you are turning. @fyrstikken told me what V2K and RNM was before they turned it on for me. Around that time he introduced me to @roelandp . I still have the emails between myself and @roelandp . This chain is centralized by design and @fyrstikken helped set it all up to fuck everyone, one by one, slowly into my situation. This is no joke you dumb mother fuckers, they shock you to your thoughts..... Hello????? It is in store for everyone you fools and your helping. Voices pulsed in your head and shocks to your thoughts??? Ignore me and help fuck innocent people for life? @roelandp and other top witnesses I know are involved with @fyrstikken.. Wait until people find out you conspired to enslave them with this shit. I am not crazy and you know it. they are doing this shit to me and told me what it mother fucking was BEFORE THEY TURNED IT ON! Your acting like naive children or maybe you are just part of the problem? You look like sociopaths. Everyone should unplug from HIVE until they are caught, .your. celebrating and ignoring my obvious, you look like fools. You know who is doing it....they are trying to kill me with it. The Havana Syndrome is real too you slave trading V2K, RNM enabling fuckers. Arrogantly play ignorant you Creeps, your setting the table for trafficking and total enslavement. I did not know I was circumvented until a year after I was..People here will be nice until it?s too late. There is no way to stop it once they have you. Grow the fuck up, this is not aliens, gods, celebrities or a medicate-able mental concern. It is 100% electronic and beast as fuck. You do not want this shit. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

Awesome choice Steve, I loved the original film, and the TV series as a nipper. KITT, was just so cool, a talking, self driving car with so many gadgets - who wouldn't want one of those. The Hoff, looking back, not so much, acting was so wooden...lol.

Hmmmm, always sceptical with remakes of films I watched in my youth. Haha, and I loved Knight Rider, although dear David, hmmm, was not so the type of man to fall in love for me ;-) but it was just great to watch back at that time

Good choice, Steve. That was one of my "don't miss" shows. We did not have DVR and streaming back then, lol.

Interesting. I didn't usually watch Knight Rider and the A-Team because I was at work when they were on. I wish they'd bring back Grimm! One of my favorites was just brought back last fall. The original Law and Order. I had been hoping for years they'd bring that back. Of course I enjoyed the Hawaii Five O and MacGuyver reboots too.
