Simply stated, this is the quintessential guilty pleasure. I am very biased in favor of this film as I was only 9 when this film was released, I saw it in the video store, and as a huge fan of Knight Rider, I asked for it immediately. I remember, even as a 9-year-old, thinking that I was watching Knight Rider without K.I.T.T. (It should be noted that the VHS box used a photo of the Hoff as Michael Knight from a KR promo pic).
So, is this a good film in the sense of a coherent story, strong acting, and character development? No, it's not. As I stated before, it really is Knight Rider without K.I.T.T. However, that also means that it is fun, filled with bad jokes, and senseless action. If you go with a relaxed attitude and do not expect something Oscar worthy, then you'll be ok. Watching this 31 years later, I do cringe at some parts, but I still enjoy it very much. My perfect 10 score is not due to the quality of this film, but because of the memories it brings back of my childhood. I love this film!
