As a previous resident of Aberdeen, Scotland (UK) for quite a number of years I'm particularly proud of this story, especially as I wish I had the time and money to do this myself - how cool is this?

According to Moviehole (from Kung Fu Cinema) a gentleman from Aberdeen has built his own Knight Rider car. I guess the small and unimportant side story is that Director Ara Paiaya (also Aberdeen based) is going to make a spoof Knight Rider movie.

Come on, forget the movie, the guy's built his own K.I.T.T.! Now I'm not talking anything small here, I mean he's even got the lighting up dashboard with all the buttons that activate the boosters, rockets, lasers, etc. Have a look at the film report on North Tonight, the local news channel, here.

According to Kung Fu Cinema, Aberdeen area indie filmmaker Ara Paiaya - creator of the "Dubbed and Dangerous" films - has snapped up a replica of K.I.T.T, a leather jacket and a couple of the cars from the last 007 pic and is putting together a spoof of the David Hasselhoff starring series.

Away from the spoof side of things...well at least slightly, David Hasselhoff said, about the movie version of Knight Rider:

"I don't want it to be a farce," he tells The New York Post. "I got a draft of the script, and it was going too much in that direction, so I had to rein it in. I want the 'Knight Rider' movie to be cool, to do justice to all those fans who grew up with the show."

According to the IMDB, martial-arts superstar Sammo Hung ["Around the World in 80 Days"] is set to direct the movie.

Farce? Never!
