Knightrider or Airwolf ?

[midwalesman]

As TV classics go these two are gems. But which one of these would pull the women ? A sleek black car that talks in an annoying tone "Michael....you're back" etc or a heavily armoured helicopter with loads of projectiles!! Its a bit like choosing a partner, one looks good and elegant whilst the other is functional and effective!

Which programme type do you think is the daddy ??

 

[Keppler]

funny this... I was just thinking the other day what a brilliant band piece Airwolf would make...

scuse me while I bog off to lunch in fond nostalgia..

 

[flugelgal]

Airwolf every time!!! (Though I do like both - and remember Blue Thunder too?

knightrider.... just for the episode where there was an evil Kit!

Jan-Michael Vincent - phwoooaar. Although also had Ernest Borgnine, gaaaah...
David Tasseltip - naff, bouffant and slimy. But did like Evil Kitt and Goliath.

Anyone remember the Airwolf Amstrad game? All I ever managed to do was fly into cliffs. Crap game.
BMB also wallowing in nostalgia

Used to love Airwolf when I was a kid. And the game was rubbish, I came accross some online version a year or so back. Just had a trawl through google but doesn't seem to be around anymore.

Also, why isn't A-Team in the poll? Mr T all the way!!!!!!!!!!

Just found the game if nyone wants to relive their amiga youths...

Airwolf Amiga Emulation

 

[Keppler]

it's the unfailing routine of it all that makes it so good BMB

Cry for help from Good guys
Co-incidental showing up of A Team
(Optional mickey-finning of Mr T)
Schmoozy schmoozing with the ladies
Big building scene with dodgy music as the plan comes together
Lots of explosions and men/vehicles flying through the air
Disappearing into the sunset
Hurrah

Class

P.s. why did BA never crash when yanking the steering wheel randomly?
And why does noone ever get shot, given the tons of bullets sprayed randomly every episode?

Hey, Fool. I aint gettin in no plane! You bustin ma eardrums and ah pitty you, fool!

:lol:

 

[bigmamabadger]

Schmoozy schmoozing with the ladies

Face Man! Yeah! Boy did I have a crush on him. Although I think I fancied his 'Vette more than him...

Big building scene with dodgy music as the plan comes together

Altogether now: I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER [chomp on cigar, big cheesy grin]

They don't make em like that any more.

Airwolf - just because of the quality speeded up bits of the helicopter with the jet fighter soundtrack overdubbed. You just can't beat it.

Airwolf was way better than Knightrider, though both were nowhere near as great as CHiPs

 

[Dawnys_flug]

I've never seen any of these!!
I only know of Knightrider 'cause it was on the Simpsons
Should i get watching some re-runs on Sky?? :wink:

 

[iggmeister]

knightrider.... just for the episode where there was an evil Kit!

I'm fairly sure it was called KARR. The corrupted vehicle which made you rob banks and hold up security trucks. Used to scare the proverbials out of me.

I saw a re-run on Bravo the other afternoon. Forgot what quality that programme was.

Airwolf was great too- much better than Blue Thunder.

Not sure about the cigars though... :?
Can I also be the looney one they have to keep breaking out of the nuthouse? I always wanted to fly....

So long as I don't have to be one of the dumb broads who are always the girlfiend of a drug dealer don't know it...
