Knight Rider Special
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Knight Rider Special (ナイトライダースペシャル, Naito Raidā Supesharu?) is a video game for the PC-Engine based on the hit 1980s television series Knight Rider. It was produced by and published by Pack-In Video Co. LTD. on December 16, 1994 in Japan only. The game features soundbytes by KITT's seiyu Akio Nojima straight from the show's Japanese dub.

Gameplay
Unlike the NES version, Special's game play is featured in third person perspective akin to even the most basic driving games like Rad Racer and Out Run. The action is very similar to that of Chase H.Q. which also features a third person driving perspective. Players will have to navigate KITT through and around various cars, big rig trucks, and other obstacles in order to reach their destination and face each level's boss. However many of the cars on the open road are armed with rear guns and will try and fire at KITT. Jet fighters or propeller planes will also fly by and try fire machine guns or drop missiles on KITT.


Area Checkpoints
Like many other driving games checkpoints or "areas" as they are called, are very important as one of the player's biggest enemies throughout the game is the clock. Players are given 60


Game play.seconds to get from area to area. When the player reaches an area his or her time is extended another 60 seconds.

Weapons
When the game starts KITT will only be armed with a pair machine guns and have turbo boost function. Unlike the show and other Knight Rider games, if the player hold the turbo boost button down they can remain airborne for long periods of time (Which could be considered a glitch in the game's programing). Over the course of the game players will be able to earn upgrades.

One Side Tires (Ski Mode)
A Lazer Gun
M. Jam (Microwave Jammer)



Stages
At the start of each stage a map of the stage's course will be displayed. With red triangles representing start and finish and blue circle representing each area.

City
Sea Side
New York
Grand Canyon
Unnamed Boss Battle
Snow Mountain
Unnamed desert facility



Boss Battles
During a boss battle KITT will stay at a constant 200 mph., but sometimes he'll go over that mark and clock about 210 or so. The player will still have maneuverability and weapons control during these battles. The boss will swerve and fire some random weapon that penetrate KITT's molecular bonded shell. The player will have the option of ether firing their machine guns or ramming the boss several times till the vehicle explodes. Players will have to beat most of these bosses within a time limit of 30 seconds, one at least must be done in 55 seconds. In stage five the player will faceoff an armored tank and automatically lose, with KITT severely damaged in the process thus (In true Knight Rider fashion) prompting Bonnie to rebuild KITT. The final battle takes place at an unnamed facility, the boss is a generator that can be taken out in a few shots. However this fight features no driving or manual turbo boosts.


Bosses
As follows the bosses are:

Yellow Lamborghini LP400 Countach
White Porsche 911
A pair of motorcyclist
A customized Bulldozer
Armored tank
Hine D. Chopper
A generator

Music
The game features the show's opening theme by composer Stu Phillips.


Trivia
Another car that is featured within the game is a Ferrari Testarossa.

Knight Rider
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Rider



Knight Rider is an American television series that originally ran from September 26, 1982, to August 8, 1986. The series was broadcast on NBC and starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a high-tech modern-day knight fighting crime. Michael Knight drove a sentient talking car with artificial intelligence. Conceived and produced by Glen A. Larson, the show was an instant hit. "I wanted to do The Lone Ranger with a car", Larson said in The Last Great Ride. "Kind of a sci-fi thing, with the soul of a western."

In 2008, following the broadcast of a TV movie used as a backdoor pilot, it was announced that a new season of Knight Rider will be put into production with the first new episode to be broadcast in September 2008.

Knight Rider reruns on Retro Television Network, Hulu, returned on Sleuth, an NBC Universal cable television channel, in September 2008. In Canada, it airs on Saturday and Sunday on the DejaView network and on Prise 2 in French. In the UK, re-runs can be seen on the Satellite, Cable and Digital Terrestrial channel Bravo and Virgin 1 at selected times. In the Middle East the show can be seen on TV Land. In Malaysia, the show was aired during TV3 prime time slot back in 1986.

Pilot
Self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police detective Michael Long after a near fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (via plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. Wilton selects Michael to be the muscle in the pilot program of his Knight Foundation-funded public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). The other half of this pilot program is the Knight Industries Two Thousand, a car controlled by a computer with artificial intelligence, KITT. Michael and KITT are brought in during situations where "direct action might provide the only feasible solution."

Heading FLAG is Devon Miles, who provides Michael with directives and guidance. Dr. Bonnie Barstow is the chief engineer in charge of KITT's care, as well as technical assistant to Devon. (April Curtis fills this role in Season 2).

Cast
David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight: Michael Arthur Long is an undercover detective who, while on a case, is shot in the face and nearly killed. Wilton Knight, creator of FLAG, contracts his doctors to save Long's life and reconstruct his face. With his new identity "Michael Knight", Long is provided with high tech crime fighting equipment, most notably the car nicknamed KITT.
William Daniels (Voice) as KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand): The autonomous car/artificial intelligence with whom Michael Knight is partnered.
Edward Mulhare as Devon Miles: The leader of FLAG who appeared in nearly every episode to provide mission details to Knight and KITT. He was also the spokesperson for FLAG whenever it came under scrutiny.
Patricia McPherson as Bonnie Barstow: (Seasons 1, 3-4) She served as KITT's chief mechanic and as romantic tension for Michael. The character was dropped after the first season, but due to strong fan reaction and lobbying by Hasselhoff and Mulhare, she was returned for the third season and remained through the end of the series.
Rebecca Holden as April Curtis: (Season 2) Chief mechanic for KITT. The character was removed when Patricia McPherson returned.
Peter Parros as Reginald Cornelius III aka RC3: (Season 4) Driver of the FLAG mobile unit and occasional sideman for Michael & KITT.

David Hasselhoff

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hasselhoff



David Hasselhoff, 2005
Born David Michael Hasselhoff
July 17, 1952 (1952-07-17) (age 56)[1]
Baltimore, Maryland Spouse(s) Pamela Bach (1989-2006) Catherine Hickland (1984-1989) Official website David Michael Hasselhoff (born July 17, 1952) is an American actor and singer, who is best known for his lead roles on Knight Rider and Baywatch. He also crossed over to a music career, successful primarily in German-speaking Europe during the end of the 1980s and the early 1990s.

Early life and acting career

Hasselhoff was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Dolores, a homemaker, and Joe Hasselhoff, a business executive.[2] His pre-teen years were spent in Jacksonville, Florida, where he attended Christ the King Elementary School.[3] After moving from Atlanta, Georgia, where he attended Marist High School, Hasselhoff attended and graduated high school at Lyons Township High School in La Grange, Illinois. He then studied at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.

Hasselhoff portrayed Dr. William "Snapper" Foster, Jr. on the soap opera The Young and the Restless from 1975 to 1982. In 1979 he played the role of Simon in Starcrash. He later went on to star as Michael Knight in the Glen A. Larson-created series Knight Rider from 1982 to 1986 (a role he would reprise in Knight Rider 2000 (1991) and cameo in 2008's Knight Rider TV film).

European popularity

While his star rose, fell and rose again in the US, Hasselhoff remained rather popular in much of Europe during the end of the 80s. His music was more popular there than in the US. His European popularity was met with disbelief and friendly teasing in the United States, and later exaggerated for comedic effect. For example, Norm Macdonald was known for stating on numerous occasions that "Germans love David Hasselhoff" on Saturday Night Live, and the theme is alluded to in the film Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story where Hasselhoff is shown as the demanding coach of the German team.

Hasselhoff has had only one number-one hit in the German pop charts in 1989 ("Looking for Freedom") and two more top-ten hits in 1989 and 1993, respectively. Most other releases failed to enter the top forty

Taking back Baywatch

Hasselhoff returned to television on Baywatch which premiered in 1989. Although it was canceled after only one season, he believed the series had potential, so Hasselhoff revived it for the first-run syndication market in 1991, investing his own money and additionally functioning as executive producer.

His contract stipulated royalties to be paid to him from the rerun profits, which gave him the financial liberty to buy back the rights to Baywatch from NBC.

In its second incarnation, Baywatch was much more successful. It ran in syndication for another ten seasons. It was also well-received internationally and has been shown in over 140 countries around the world.[citation needed] According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Baywatch is the most watched TV show in the world, with over 1.1 billion viewers.

This success combined with his royalties and his other ventures have placed Hasselhoff's fortune at more than $100,000,000.



Later career

In 1994, Hasselhoff was scheduled to perform a concert on pay-per-view from Atlantic City. The concert was expected to help reignite his singing career in the United States. On the night of his concert, O.J. Simpson was involved in a police chase in southern California. Viewership of the concert was significantly lower than expected, due to the live coverage of the chase. Since then, Hasselhoff has not attempted another concert.

In 1996, Hasselhoff was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1997, he did a duet with Asia's Songbird, Regine Velasquez. The song was used as the main theme for his 1998 movie "Legacy". In the film, he was joined by Filipina actresses, Donita Rose and Chin Chin Gutierrez. The film was shot in the Philippines.

Hasselhoff made his Broadway debut in 2000 in the title role of Jekyll & Hyde. Beginning in July 16, 2004, he played the lead role in London performances of Chicago for three months.

Hasselhoff has made several self-parodic appearances in movies. He had a major appearance in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, released November 19, 2004, starring as himself (though very much in bygone Baywatch character) and meeting SpongeBob and Patrick (His full name is heard once in the movie. he is referred to as "Hasselhoff"). Hasselhoff also had another short appearance in the movie Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story as the dodgeball coach to the German national dodgeball team. Berating his team after being eliminated from a tournament, he shouts "Ihr seid alle Schweine!" (translated: "You are all piggies!", a common German insult) and smashes a photo of himself in his Baywatch attire. In 2004's Eurotrip, Hasselhoff appears in a fantasy sequence performing his early 90s hit single "Du". In a cameo as himself in John Waters' 2004 effort A Dirty Shame, Hasselhoff defecates in an airplane's washroom. The 2006 Adam Sandler film Click is the first film in which Hasselhoff plays a character, as Sandler's despicable boss.

In his music video for "Jump in My Car", Hasselhoff again demonstrates a penchant for self-parody, this time of his performance as Michael Knight in Knight Rider. The car in the video was a black Pontiac Trans Am with a pulsing LED and an interior nearly identical to that of K.I.T.T. (this video was shot in Sydney, Australia and used a right hand drive KITT replica), including an aptly-timed use of K.I.T.T.'s seat ejection system. The video plays to a skit where he asks one of three girls to "jump in his car" to take her home. The girl initially refuses but then gets in so long as he behaves politely. She suggests that he should drive quickly, because she lives down south, "about 84 miles". When she insists she is not joking, he asks her to leave the vehicle, but she refuses, so he resorts to using the ejector seat to cause her to exit.

Hasselhoff presented a musical award with Gretel Killeen for the Australian Recording Industry Association on Sunday October 23, 2005 in Sydney. He was recently signed to Pepsi appearing in a massive outdoor campaign in January 2006.

Hasselhoff has also become something of an Internet phenomenon, mostly as a subject of fun. Numerous websites have appeared and there is currently a campaign to get him a number one single in the UK.

In May 2006, Hasselhoff returned to the spotlight after he was mentioned in an interview of Dirk Nowitzki, an NBA star playing for the Dallas Mavericks and a native of Germany. Nowitzki was asked what he does to concentrate when shooting foul shots. Dirk replied that he sings "Looking for Freedom" to himself. He meant this as a joke but it was thought to be a serious answer. Shortly thereafter, Hasselhoff attended the May 26, 2006 Mavericks home playoff game where they faced the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Western Conference Finals. Interviewed by Craig Sager, Hasselhoff stated he was as much a fan of Nowitzki as Nowitzki was a fan of him. In The 2006 NBA Finals, fans of the Miami Heat in the American Airlines Arena held up facial photos of Hasselhoff and chanted his name when Nowitzki went to the foul line.

Late 2006, a musical based on his life called David Hasselhoff: The Musical will open in Australia before moving to the United States. Hasselhoff describes it as "totally campy".[5]

On August 2, 2006, Hasselhoff proclaimed himself king of the internet in a tongue-in-cheek advertisement commercial for Pipex.

In September 2006 he appeared in a radio interview with Gerard Gilroy on The Breakfast Show on Dublin's Newstalk 106, pushed his book on The Tubridy Tonight Show on RTE1, and sang and spoke to Grant Lauchlan of stv.tv,[6] where he revealed that he would like to play a concert in the future at Scotland's Edinburgh Castle.

In November 2006, Mel Brooks announced Hasselhoff would portray Roger DeBris, the director of the Nazi musical Springtime for Hitler, in the Las Vegas production of The Producers.[7]

Throughout the summer of 2006, Hasselhoff, along with Grammy-winning singer/actress Brandy Norwood and British media icon Piers Morgan was a co-judge on NBC's America's Got Talent, a show that showcases America's best amateur entertainers. He has been on the show's jury for all three season so far, in the second and third season alongside Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan. On the 2007 season finale, Hasselhoff sang "This is the Moment."

In 2007, it was announced that Hasselhoff is starring in a television series pilot for E! called Tales from the Hoff. Executive produced by American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, the comedy follows an aging international star trying to navigate Hollywood life and re-energize his professional and personal life.[8] Although Hasselhoff is portraying a fictional character, elements of the show's concept parallel Hasselhoff's real life.

In November 2007, it was announced that Hasselhoff is currently in a recording studio working on an Oasis covers album to be released in Germany.[9]

In 2008, Hasselhoff was a featured guest in a Volkswagen commercial, where he talked about the company selling more cars in Europe and the rest of the world than any other brand. In response, the black Beetle commented that Hasselhoff is "not so big" in Brazil.

HoffSpace

Hasselhoff has launched a MySpace-like social networking site, known as "HoffSpace."[10] He did so in part as a response to people opening false social-networking pages in his name,[11] as well as those of his children.

Personal life

Hasselhoff was married to actress Catherine Hickland from March 24, 1984 to March 1, 1989. Their marriage was recreated in Knight Rider Season 4 (Episode The Scent of Roses which first aired on January 3, 1986). Before his divorce from Hickland, while they were separated, Hasselhoff dated Linda Butsnik, now Linda Morris, of Carrollton, Georgia.

Hasselhoff married actress Pamela Bach on December 9, 1989, and the couple had two daughters, Taylor Ann Hasselhoff (born May 5, 1990), who is attending the University of Arizona, and Hayley Amber Hasselhoff (born August 26, 1992). Although Hasselhoff was raised Roman Catholic,[citation needed] he and his family attended non-denominational church services.

On January 13, 2006, Hasselhoff announced that he was filing for divorce from Bach after 16 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. His publicist stated that the couple has agreed to an amicable settlement. However, on March 9, 2006, Bach accused Hasselhoff of violent behavior towards her.[13] Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mark A. Juhas signed the order March 6, 2006 ordering Hasselhoff to stay at least 100 yards (91 m) from Bach except for "peaceful contacts related to court ordered visitation" of their children. Pamela is seeking sole custody of their two daughters.

Hasselhoff's autobiography Making Waves was released in the United Kingdom in September 2006. In an interview in April 2006, he promised that the book would present the "last chapter" regarding controversial elements of his personal life.

Alcohol problems

In 2006, Hasselhoff was allegedly thrown out of a Wimbledon, London court-bar for drinking and rioting. However, Katie Rowley who runs the Wimbledon Championship, denies this.[15]

In an interview with the Associated Press soon afterwards, Hasselhoff also denied being ejected by The All England Club. "The tabloids make so much stuff up," he said. "I was at Wimbledon, and they said I was escorted out drunk. ... Absolutely not. I don't drink anymore."[16]

On July 26, 2006, tabloids reported that Hasselhoff was publicly drunk at Heathrow Airport and was denied boarding a plane by British Airways. The airline only stated that a male passenger had been refused travel after being deemed unfit. The following day Hasselhoff's publicist denied the allegation of Hasselhoff being drunk saying antibiotics had made him sick and that he voluntarily chose not to board the plane.

Home video

On May 3, 2007, a home video surfaced of Hasselhoff apparently in mid-stupor. The video showed him shirtless, lying on the floor, drunkenly trying to consume a Wendy's hamburger in a Las Vegas hotel room. His daughter Taylor Ann, who shot the video, can be heard saying, "Tell me you are going to stop, tell me you are going to stop." The daughter also warned her father that he could be jeopardizing his spot in the Las Vegas production of The Producers.[18] In the wake of the leaked video Hasselhoff issued a statement saying that it was released deliberately. Hasselhoff claimed that it was filmed by Taylor Ann so that he could see how he appeared and acted when intoxicated.[19]

Hasselhoff's visitation rights with his two daughters were suspended on May 7, 2007 because of the video for two weeks, at which point the video's authenticity and distributor was determined.[20] On May 14, 2007, a news report headlined "Pipex in a pickle: David Hasselhoff drunken antics last straw for $1 billion sale of UK ISP", questioned whether the video had impacted negatively on the sale of Pipex, a UK broadband and web hosting company. A major TV and newspaper advertising campaign in the UK for Pipex Communications Plc featured Hasselhoff as "The King of the Internet". On June 15th, 2007 his attorney Melvin Goldsman, stated that Hasselhoff was awarded primary physical custody and full legal custody of the two girls.

"Get Hasselhoff to Number 1"

On April 21, 2006 fans of David Hasselhoff launched a tongue-in-cheek website "Get Hasselhoff to Number 1" in an attempt to generate the momentum required to send the 1989 hit "Looking for Freedom" to the top of the UK music charts based on Internet downloads of the single. The campaign is ongoing and has attracted attention on British radio and television broadcasts, the British national press [22][23] and on the Internet.[24][25][26] Over 40,000 people have signed up so far. When the total number of sign-ups on the site reaches 75,000 the owners of the site will send the "Hoff Alert" email to all those who have registered alerting them that the time has come to purchase the single. The intention is that the surge in sales generated will propel the former hit to the top spot in the British chart ensuring radio plays and television appearances for Hasselhoff.

In the UK, the "Get Hasselhoff to Number 1" website switched the single it was promoting from "Looking for Freedom" to "Jump in My Car". BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills lent his support to the campaign,[27] to get "Jump In My Car" to number one. On October 3, 2006 the Hoff Alert was mailed out to over 40,000 subscribers, instructing them to buy the song in hopes that it would top the UK Singles Chart. Although this did not happen, Hasselhoff promptly gained his highest ever UK chart entry (#3) on October 8, 2006.

Hasselhoff candid interview

On September 1, 2006, Hasselhoff gave a candid interview to The Guardian. The interviewer wrote "To spend an hour or so in the company of 'The Hoff' is to feel as if one is inadvertently playing a bit-part in a daytime television soap opera. It is unclear whether this has more to do with the cliched dialogue – 'Life is something that happens when you're making plans', for example – or the way the lines are delivered with either brow-furrowed gravitas or uproarious laughter."

Hasselhoff spoke of his religious beliefs – "Amid all the adversity, whenever I had problems, God always said 'Here's Chicago, here's a book, here's the No. 1 TV show, here's the No. 1 movie, here's a recording deal, here's two million downloads. I'm gonna make you the biggest star in the world, David, and I'm going to give you responsibility with that, and you can either take it or you can fuck it up.' I fucked it up, I've taken it."

On why his fans warmed to his shows, Hasselhoff stated "Because I believe the camera photographs your aura, and it also photographs your heart. And I cast Baywatch that way. If you look at Baywatch, just about everybody on that show — even Pamela Anderson — has got a great heart."

On Knight Rider he stated that it was more than a TV show, "It's a phenomenon. It's bigger than Baywatch ever was." On the success of Knight Rider — "It's because it was about saving lives, not taking lives, and it was how one man can make a difference. And we had a blast making it, and we made sure nobody died on the show; [just as] we made sure nobody ever drowned on Baywatch."

He describes the acting he has done as "a little more difficult than if you had a regularly well-written script – like, if I was going to be in, say, Reservoir Dogs, or The Godfather, or Dances with Wolves or Lawrence of Arabia or ER. I had to talk to a car."
