Nadine Flowers, a divorced mother, hires Dalton to finish building a room on her house. Nadine’s mother, distraught over not knowing the whereabouts of her son’s body, asks Dalton to find it so he may have a proper burial. While searching, Dalton inadvertently becomes involved in a dispute between two warring groups. Commentary:

  Although the character of David Dalton was revived from the Knight Rider episode “Mouth of the Snake,” this movie has little to do with its parent series. Dalton is no longer working for Archibald Hendley at the Department of Justice and has since become a vigilante who lives out of CODE OF VENGEANCE •

  his pickup truck. His extraordinary physical feats seen in “Mouth of the Snake” are all but gone here as he attacks with strength instead of gymnastics. The similarities to Knight Rider include Robert Foster’s choice of music (“Skin Game” by John Hiatt and Ry Cooder and the Mexican music from “Hearts of Stone” can be heard; “C.C. Waterback” by Merle Haggard and George Jones from “The Rotten Apples” is also used), as well as Don Peake’s use of some Knight Rider action music from “Lost Knight.”

  The movie begins with a drive-by shooting at a Mexican wedding, just like in “Hearts of Stone.”

  Trivia:

  Before Willis is murdered, he can be seen watching the climatic fight between K.I.T.T. and K.A.R.R. in the Knight Rider episode

  “K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R.”

  Guest star Erin Gray also appeared in the B.J. and the Bear episode

  “Cain’s Cruiser”—Glen Larson’s inspiration for Knight Rider. This television movie was repeated in two parts during Code of Vengeance’s limited run, with part one airing on August 10, 1986 and part two airing on August 17, 1986.
