Review of Nick Knight (1989) by Ian S — 21 Feb 2006

Well, I have finally started my research for my paper in Comp 2. I watched [i][b]Nick Knight[/b][/i], starring Rick Springfield. This movie was the original pilot for what later became the tv series, [b][i]Forever Knight. [/i][/b]I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, I really liked Rick Springfield back in the 1980's when this movie was made. he was kinda cute.:D Anyway, I'll just say the tv series was MUCH MUCH better than the movie. Only 2 actors went from movie to tv. The guy that played LaCroix in the movie was totally NOT believable as a vampire. (A great improvement in the tv show with a recast). The coroner changed from male (movie) to female (tv). The museum curator was eliminated from the tv show, however many of her attributes were incorporated into the female coroner, Natalie.

I loved the soundtrack, but then it was all 80's music and I adore 80's music (most of my collection would fall into the 80's category). The production qualities weren't great, but tolerable. I did find a couple scenes that will work in my paper, so it wasn't a total waste of time. But then, vampires are almost never a waste of time;).
