Director Harvey S. Laidman remembers Soul Survivor: "When they originally wrote the script, they had Brian using a mouse to move the car. I said, 'Why doesn't he use a joystick?' 'What's that?' they said."
Brian Robbins reportedly angered producers by taking K.I.T.T. for a real-life joy ride during filming.
The joystick controller that Randy uses to control KITT is from the Atari 2600 gaming system.
Ann Turkel's character Adrianne Margeaux returns later in the season 2 two-hour special, Goliath Returns (1984); where she teams up with Garthe Knight in an effort to trap Michael and K.I.T.T. She also guest stars in the third season story Knight in Retreat (1985) as another femme fatale, the villainous hostess Bianca Morgan.
A memorable episode, notable for K.I.T.T.'s reaction to being made "portable." It's interesting to point out that whilst driving in Devon's convertible, Michael states that it's "fun driving with the top down," to which K.I.T.T. replies, "If being burned by the sun and buffeted by the wind is your idea of fun." Obviously he changed his opinion by the fourth season.
