A hybrid cut of two Knight Rider episodes, "K.I.T.T vs K.A.R.R" and "Junkyard Dog" showcasing the decline of one powerful super car and the rise of another, each dealing with their own problems.

It's been a while since I've watched an episode of our favorite black Trans Am and the 80s nostalgia that comes with it. KARR was always a fan favorite so I was curious to see how well these two episodes were merged. Zarius pulls it off very well. The continuity runs just as planned with the two stories kind of mixing together through the middle of it. It was as if it was planned for broadcast by Glen Larson himself.

Great combination of two classic episodes from this seminal 80's series. The two episodes worked really well as one satisfying fix that never feeels like a double bill but rather a single episode with two concurrent storylines due to the clever structure of the narrative. KARR comes back for vengeance just as KITT is having a bad case of PTSD! In true 80's fashion though KITT finds his mojo again and (along with Michael) saves the day!

Another fine edit from Zarius, thorouyghly enjoyed!

Ah, a truly satisfying edit by Zarius! He has done an amazing job turning two great episodes into one truly solid special. Cuts were seamless, and impressive. The narrative truly works as one, doesn't confuse or make the audience think these were two separate stories.

All in all, a truly great edit by Zarius!
