First appearance of K.I.T.T.'s familiar three line voice modulator, replacing the red square voice box used in previous episodes.

Goofs:

Continuity: Michael drives KITT on the back of a truck. In the close-up he opens his door to get out. In the next shot we see him climbing out his window. Later we see Angie, who was sitting in the passenger's seat, opening the passenger's door. In the next shot, we see her getting out on the driver's side.

Quotes:

K.I.T.T.: Michael, what do you think of my new voice modulator?
Michael Knight: Nice, Kitt. Real nice.
