I love the fact that David Hasselhoff appears to be incredibly cheesy and no one will admit to liking his programmes in public, and yet you can’t help but love shows like Knight Rider. You have to admit it, Hasselhoff knows about pure entertainment. Not only that, he carries with him a strong idea of what he wants and he won’t pander to anyone else.
Take this story from Oldies 108 which tells us just that.
Knight Rider has endured a two year delay – because movie bosses wanted to mute the show’s trademark talking car, Kitt.
But David Hasselhoff, who starred in the original 1982 TV series and is taking the lead in the upcoming remake, has insisted the vehicle have a voice of its own or he wouldn’t make the film.
He says, “It’s stupid. There’s no film without a talking car.
“So we waited for two years and we won. The car will talk.”
Good man. Can you imagine watching a the movie and not having Kitt talk? When cars are talking back to you in real life and telling you which way to drive? What’s left if you take away the talking element? You’ve got a movie based on a Bond car, or the car from xXx…that will be good how?
Just another example of the idiotic studio executives (and I deliberately use small letters there). Role on a Knight Rider movie with a talking car and Hasselhoff, I’ll pay to see that.
