History Awesome / KnightRider

* In "Knight of the Drones". When Michael and KITT faces off with the robotic drone cars, by skiing between two missiles being launched from both cars across from each other.

* In general, always loved the stunts they did with KITT, poor by today's standards perhaps, but impressive for the times.

* A rather humorous moment in "Slammin' Sammy's Stunt Show Spectacular", a mysterious figure appears at one point in an attempt to sabotage KITT. When he can't get the hood open he attempts to do some damage from beneath the undercarriage. KITT wont have any of it and keeps pulling forward and back to mess with the guy until he decides to deflate his tires, while the man is still underneath.

* The legendary Creator/PeterCullen guest spotted on the show as the EvilTwin car KARR.

** Michael Knight used ''psychology'' to defeat a NighInvulnerable robot. Throughout the episode, two things are repeatedly stressed: One, KITT's primary programing is the preservation of human life while KARR's is the preservation of his own life; Two, that KITT and KARR are structurally identical and thus it's even chances, in a head-on collision, if one, the other, both, or ''neither'' will survive. Michael gets KITT and KARR into exactly that situation, and KITT can't take the chance that he (and thus, Michael) will be destroyed, so tries to take over, Michael overrides. KARR comes to the ''exact same conclusion'' and swerves to evade them. . . but failed to notice the cliff he was now carooming off of.

* The finale of "A Good Knight's Work" When KITT slams into an apartment window... three floors off the ground.
* Devon, April and Klaus get one in "Goliath Returns" while being held captive by Garth. The orchestrate their own escape by [[MacGyvering using the synthetic fabric of a shirt, broken glass from a lightcover, and the melamine of the ground-down clay buttons on Devon's jacket to make an explosive]] ''[[StuffBlowingUp to blow open the door]]''! The questionable science and fact that the escape was thwarted a few feet further down the corridor in no way make this any less of a show of geeky awesomeness.

* In "Sky Knight," Bonnie among a group of hostage inside a bunker with an apparent doomsday weapon. Amazingly, having spent the episode as a flighty rich woman, Mrs. Swanson gets right into the kidnapper's face.

* From "Killer KITT": After recovering from some FaceHeelTurn reprogramming, KITT goes and '''beats up''' the guy responsible.

-->'''Mrs. Swanson''': Young man...you are an animal...If you're trying to frighten me, you're failing. I'm well over 70 years old and have been prepared for death for quite a while. You would only be advancing the inevitable by a season or two and not creating anything of awesome originality. In my eyes, you remain an animal.

--> '''Michael''': Remember Zeno[[note]]Zeno's Paradox "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?"[[/note]] and that immovable object thing? We're about to find out the answer.
** [[SpecialEffectsFailure Unfortunately the awesome of the scene is hampered by the fact that it's "painfully" easy to tell the car sent over the cliff is not a trans-am]].

* When KITT played Matador against a bull in "Not a Drop to Drink". Also counts as a [[FunnyMoments funny moment]].

* In "No Big Thing," Devon is arrested in a small town on bogus charges. He overhears his cellmates talking about breaking out and offers to come up with a solution, if they let him come along. When it's pointed out that he "doesn't look like the prison break type," he agrees-- adding that the SS thought the same thing, which allowed him to break out of ''two'' German prison camps in the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII war]]. His cellmates agree, Devon executes the breakout and even works in a DukesOfHazzard leap with the getaway truck. [[CoolOldGuy This being a man who's, up to this point, been a very stoic, serious character]].

--> '''Saboteur''': (''gets out from underneath KTT's undercarriage and flees'') Who said that!

** KITT was pretty {{badass}} himself after he got over his fears and PTSD.

* The Legendary PeterCullen guest spotted on the show as the EvilTwin car KARR.

** KITT's [[ImmuneToBullets immunity to bullets]] whoever is a genuine point for him.

--> '''Michael''': Now it's time to cash in huh? Say hi to your mom.

* When Michael threatened that ass in "Junkyard Dog" after they pulled KITT up out of the mud. He was ''really'' {{badass}}.

* After Michael and KITT's thrashing at Garthe's hands in part one of "Goliath". It's satisfying watching Michael push Garthe's BerserkButton at the craps game, sure KITT fixed dice ([[SpecialEffectsFailure in a rather cheesy fashion]]) but it was still awesome.

** Or the "Super Pursuit Mode".

* In "The Topaz Connection", KITT manages to outpace a luxury private jet to it's destination.
