Nick Knight Reviews
The Begining of a great show
I am a huge fan of the vampire genres. From Bella Legosi to Christopher Lee to Nosferatu to Subspecies. This was originally a made for TV movie (from what I can recall) and was playing during the week of Halloween. As many may know, the vampire genre seems to repeat itself on occassion (well sometimes ALL the time). The themes, plots and story lines seems to be regurgitated: Vampire is awaken from a long sleep, he seeks his bride he lost so long ago, and ends up dying at the end in the process of bringing his bride across and being deafeated by the vampire hunter/the towns people - the end.
Well Nick Knight who is played by Rick Springfield, is a 13 century vampire trying to atone for his sins by becoming a cop in the 20th Century. He denounces the "gift" given to him by his master who tries to make Nick's pretend "mortal life" a living hell.
This movie initially became a t.v. series known as "Forever Knight." Rick Springfield did not reprise the role of Nick Knight but John Kapelos reprises his role as Nick's wise cracking partner Schanke. This movie was a great first attempt, but fell short for a t.v. movie. It kind of left the viewer questioning a few things. For a better well rounded explanation of Nick Knight check out the series "Forever Knight." But I would still recommend on purchasing this video for all you die hard fans of the series. This was the begining of a great thing.
He Wants to be Human Again
This was a made for television movie starring actor/singer Rick Springfield and was the predecessor of the relatively short lived but still a cult favorite television series "Forever Knight" which starred Geraint Wyn Davies as Nick Knight. The premise is Nick is a vampire that wants to regain his mortality. He's working as a cop on the night shift while the forensic surgeon on duty tries to help him become human again. In the meantime, his nemesis, Lacroix, who was the one who originally turned Nick into a vampire will do anything to stop Nick from his quest for mortality. It's a great story and hopefully this movie and the television series will eventually come out on DVD.
