Theatrical Release Information:
Knight Rider: Season 02

Season two of Knight Rider finds professional do-gooder Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) still behind the wheel of his high-tech, computerized, weapon-festooned Trans Am, K.I.T.T., which, just as in season one, "speaks" in the imperious voice of actor William Daniels. And also just as in season one, Michael and K.I.T.T. are dispatched on their various missions by Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare), the head of Knight Industries Foundation for Law and Order. New to the series this season is Rebecca Holden as April Curtis, replacing the previous season's Bonnie Barstow as K.I.T.T.'s attractive mechanic and Michael's occasional assistant. The season opener is the two-part "Goliath," in which the ex-wife (Barbara Rush) of Michael Knight's late benefactor, Wilton Knight, and Wilton's biological son (who looks just like Michael, and is played by Hasselhoff!), go to great and sometimes deadly lengths to gain control of K.I.T.T. In later episodes, Michael goes undercover as a convict to prevent a madman from blowing up an entire city; K.I.T.T. uses his (its?) deductive skills to find a Robin Hood-like cat burglar; a computer hacker turns K.I.T.T. into a dangerous weapon, bent on destroying Michael; an amnesiac Michael reverts to his previous identity as cop Michael Long, with no memory of K.I.T.T. or Knight Industries; Michael and K.I.T.T. race against time to locate the fugitive tissue donor who holds the life of a little girl in his hands; and in another two-parter, "Mouth of the Snake," our hero joins forces with a wealthy widow and a secret agent to retrieve a stolen rocket launcher before it is -- gasp -- too late! ~ All Movie Guide
