CONTINUITY:

0:05:17
0:05:28
0:05:38
0:05:42

Continuity errors as Michael pulls over to assist Lt. Ladd. 5:28 (actually stock footage filmed for A Plush Ride) does not match the location in 5:17. 5:38 is footage from the Pilot Episode, and also does not match the location.

DASH:

0:05:01
0:15:23
0:22:47

Insert shots of K.I.T.T.'s Voice Modulator that don't show the surrounding dash.

0:15:39

A good view of the "complete" dash in the Computer/Hero Car. Note that control panel buttons aren't labelled, but the Voice Box is. Indicators are missing alongside it.

0:23:39
0:24:18
0:29:51
0:39:35

Instances where the Trans Am has a normal steering wheel instead of K.I.T.T.'s distinctive gullwing.

0:38:41
0:39:44
0:44:19

K.I.T.T.'s steering wheel is different to any other episode. Note also the ceiling console, minus buttons and readouts.

K.I.T.T.:

0:35:30
0:35:31

K.I.T.T. loses a sideview mirror as he pins the enemy soldiers to the wall (they also change position between the two shots).

STUNTS & DOUBLES:

0:37:06
0:38:37

Obviously, all shots of the daredevil driving throughout the final act will feature stunt drivers in place of Hasselhoff. Here are two shots where the driver is clear to see.

MISCELLANEOUS:

0:04:02

Conveniently, the Jeeps race into a floodlit area - which also doubles for an off-screen explosion.

0:07:29

Part of the clamp that connects the cameras to the tow car is visible just outside.

0:27:44

A wire appears to be dangling in the back of the car.
