Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Viper is a live-action science fiction TV series that was created by Paul De Meo and Danny Bilson and aired from 1994 to 1999. The show revolves around a modified Dodge Viper that can transform into the Defender, an armored supercar designed for catching the most dangerous criminals. The first season aired as an NBC exclusive from January to April 1994 and disappeared from the network after completing its first run. The show came back for a syndicated second season in the fall of 1996. It retained this format up through its concluding fourth season.Season 1 takes place in the near future, where the fictitious Metro City is being overrun by a mafia-like organization of cyberpunk thieves called the Outfit. The only thing that should be standing in their way is the Viper, but one thing is stopping the project from coming to fruition: The car is so powerful and requires such quick reflexes to control that every commissioned police driver to date has failed their field test. With funding running out and no hope of success remaining, the program is on the verge of cancellation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Meanwhile, Michael Payton, the Outfit's lead getaway driver, lies in a coma after wrecking his Dodge Stealth in a botched heist. Seeing this as a final chance to save the Viper Project and promote his own political career, Big Brother-type Councilman Strand secretly orders for Payton to be pronounced dead and have a microchip surgically implanted in his brain to erase his criminal persona. After the operation, Payton wakes up with total amnesia and is told he is Officer Joe Astor, a false identity invented by Strand to explain why a supposed expert pursuit driver was transferred to Metro's police district just in the nick of time. Astor proves to be a suitable driver, but things quickly turn sour.Parts of Astor's previous memories begin surfacing in the form of dreams and bizarre flashbacks, and he quickly puts together he's not exactly who the police say he is. He ultimately accepts his mindrape as a second chance to live a clean life and, upon realizing both sides of the law are corrupt, he hijacks the Defender with the help of its civilian inventor, Julian Wilkes, and a sympathetic Metropol motor pool officer, Franklin X. Waters. The three crime fighters spend the rest of the season working out of a secret base converted from an abandoned power station. This course of action regularly puts Astor up against his old allies (and enemies) within the Outfit, who all easily recognize him despite being total strangers to him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })With a heavy emphasis on identity and morality, and featuring a soundtrack composed by Eddie Jobson and Shirley Walker, the first season had incredible writing and production values for something that was basically a weekly Dodge commercial. This creative style was abruptly dropped at the end of the first season and was never really picked up again.Seasons 2 and 3 are less ambitious in design, but can still be entertaining on their own merit. The setting is shifted back into a strictly modern (i.e. lower budget) environment, despite still taking place in Metro City and explicitly being set after the events of the NBC series. Here, the Viper team is a legitimately employed police force fighting their city's latest crime wave. The show is almost completely recast, with Frankie being the only permanent character over the course of the entire series. The storytelling is also much more episodic, following a traditional Cop Show format where the heroes try to take down a different random criminal each week. There is no overarching group of villains, and the episodes carry little to no continuity between each other. Jay Ferguson takes over as soundtrack composer and maintains this role for the rest of the series.Season 4 sees Joe Astor returning as the story's main protagonist and becoming a member of the Season 2-3 cast. It serves as a compromise between the show's two distinct formats, combining elements of both while trying to maintain a single canon. There are a few notable throwbacks to Season 1 spread throughout, but this season is most memorable for the two part finale entitled "Split Decision." In addition to ending the series as a whole, it can be seen as the proper (albeit somewhat flawed) conclusion the first season never received.Think of it as a '90s version of Knight Rider.

Season 4 opener also has Joe With a Foot on the Bus. He delivers the Viper to the Complex, but tells Frankie he's doing it only as a favor for Julian, as he already has plans to leave for Iceland in two days. However, after Julian gets kidnapped by the thugs who were targeting the Viper, he ends up driving the Viper to rescue him. After that, Joe once again tells Frankie that his job is done, only for Julian to tell him that he had already taken the liberty of asking FBI to assign him to the team as the driver. After Frankie asks him to stay, Joe finally agrees. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Viper / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Two big ones in Season 1 KITT's most recent appearance before Viper was made was in Knight Rider 2000, where he was installed in a Dodge Stealth that the studio customized to look like a Pontiac Banshee. One could interpret the events of the pilot episode to mean Joe wrecked KITT to upgrade to the Viper. The Season 1 episode "Wheels of Fire" involves the Baxley, a legendary concept car that Julian states was his inspiration for the Viper. It was depicted as a red Lincoln Futura: The same model of car used for the 1960's Batmobile. The German synchro made this gag more obvious in case that people didnt know that this was the Batmobile. Joe says to Frankie "Did you change your car for the Batmobile?". The car's designer is named Preston Baxley. In 1948, Preston Tucker had designed a new car way ahead of its time, before he was indicted for stock fraud. There's speculation that the Big Three automakers were afraid of him coming on strong on their old pre-WW2 designs, and are implied to have had a role in Tucker's demise. Similarly, Baxley's car was very economic for its time, having a high mileage of 60 mpg. An oil company executive, concerned about it, then managed to convince Baxley's backers that the car was unsafe, which killed Baxley Motors. Speaking of Batman, Season 1 overall had a comic book feeling. One could interpret Joe as Batman, Metro City as Gotham City, the Viper as the Batmobile, and the power station as the Batcave. The Season 2 opener "Winner Take All" features the main villain, Colonel Dekker committing robberies using a custom-built heavily-armored semi-truck carrying an army inside. Knight Rider season 2 opener "Goliath" and later episode "Goliath Returns" featured a semi-truck named "Goliath" driven by Garthe Knight. Goliath is armed with 4 missile pods on the cab, and an African mercenary army riding in its trailer; and coated with KITT's Molecular Bonded Shell coating, making it indestructible. In "Cold Warriors" a retired secret agent appears to fight the bad guys. He is driving a Ferrari 250 GTE which does look similiar to an Aston Martin DB5. Everytime this secret agent appears a James Bond-like music is played in background and its also mentioned that it has some gimmicks (but only a secret storage under the seat is revealed). Aside from this gag it could be also mentioned that the controls for the gimmicks we see are labeled as "Head lights", "dashboard lights" and "fog lights". We do not see what the rest of the gimmicks are labeled so this could just be an inside joke. | |

| Viper / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The "Project Wind Storm", which is a bike with some cool stuff like an EMP gun and a laser cannon looks like a Cool Bike at first. But at second glance it turns out to be useless. One example is the steering. You can control the bike with your head movement. Sounds awesome, but imagine driving 75 mph on an Interstate and you see something beautiful on the road side. You move your head and then you are Captain Crash. And then there is the unreliable weapons systems it has, which very rarely work throughout the episode. | |

Stock Footage | |
| Viper / int_4856ac40 | comment |
Stock Footage: Season 1 occasionally reused one of the Viper's earlier transformation sequences as a transitional shot. It got worse later on, where Season 2's "On a Roll" and Season 3's "Wilderness Run" copied and pasted entire chase sequences from Season 1's "Firehawk" and "Thief of Hearts." The former example even used almost the exact same dialogue as the original scene. | |

Special Effects Evolution | |
| Viper / int_700e17ed | comment |
Special Effects Evolution: A minor example- The transformations for The Pilot and season 1 were by Metrolight Studios of Total Recall (1990). from seasons 2-4, the scenes were done by two people. The transformation of the Viper looks way better in Season 2. Inverted in case of the EMP gun effects for Season 3. The new design was supposed to look more impressive but it didnt work out well. This is especially the case when the EMP is hitting a car. All other EMP effects stayed the same as in Season 1 and 2. | |

Put on a Bus | |
| Viper / int_754df088 | comment |
Put on a Bus & Commuting on a Bus: Former with both drivers of the Viper: Joe Astor after Season 1, when James McCaffrey opted not to return for Season 2. Also, he turned down an offer to return for Season 3. However, having just had a daughter and needing a steady gig, he finally returned for Season 4. Season 4 opener also has Joe With a Foot on the Bus. He delivers the Viper to the Complex, but tells Frankie he's doing it only as a favor for Julian, as he already has plans to leave for Iceland in two days. However, after Julian gets kidnapped by the thugs who were targeting the Viper, he ends up driving the Viper to rescue him. After that, Joe once again tells Frankie that his job is done, only for Julian to tell him that he had already taken the liberty of asking FBI to assign him to the team as the driver. After Frankie asks him to stay, Joe finally agrees. Jeff Kaake did not get along well with his co-stars - Joe Nipote, and especially Heather Medway. As Heather was dating the show's producer, Danny Bilson, she was able to exert her influence and get Kaake removed after Season 3. Source In series, Cole (and briefly, Westlake) were removed from the team for blowing up the Viper after the Season 3 Cliffhanger ending. Given the cast's problems with Kaake, it could be possible that Cole was actually Put on a Bus to Hell. Also Allie Farrow after Season 2 - she takes a job for a government think-tank in Portugal. The latter with Julian Wilkes. When Season 2 filming was moved to Calgary, as Dorian Harewood had just become a father, he chose not to return for the show. Also he didn't want to be in a wheelchair, but the writers were not able to think of a way to write him out of the wheelchair. In Season 2 opener, it's explained that Julian took a post in Washington, DC. Julian would later return in Season 4, now walking normally. However, as his duties were taken over by Frankie (and to some extent, Allie) during Season 2-3, there was no place for him to return full-time, so he would make only three Special Guest Star appearances during the season. In show, Julian had taken a job with NASA for Season 4. | |

Every Car Isa Pinto: "Firehawk" and "On a Roll" both include a scene where the Defender shoots with an EMP cannon at a junk car which is in such a bad shape that its beyond a chance for repair. However it still explodes despite the fact that an Electromagnetic Pulse (= EMP) cannon could only damage electronic equipment. But this junk car has obviously no electronic equipment anymore that could set off an explosion. | |

EMP: The Defender often uses a miniaturized version of this as its primary weapon. If you're being chased by it, you better pray your vehicle is equipped with a static pulse collector or a negative ion field. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: In the german dub of episode "Mind Games", Frankie asks why his car steers to the wrong side of the road. But in fact, he only lost his brakes because someone hacked into the car computer and deactived the electronic brake. Frankie was still able to steer his car, which is evidently shown to the viewer. | |

In "Winner Take All," Westlake's commander refers to the Season 2 car as "The latest prototype," marking it as a new, completely separate model and leaving the fate of the Season 1 car open for speculation. In "The Return," one of the very first things Joe does is refer to the Season 3 cliff hanger by asking which member of the new cast "blew up [his] old Viper." And they roll with it. | |

As Lethal as It Needs to Be: This could be applied for the Season 3 Episode "Hidden Agenda". The machine gun of the Viper makes an enormous amount of damage to a Dodge Intrepid. But the bullets from the weapon of the bad girl only put a dent into the car parked next to her. It actually looks more like damage from a firecracker. | |

Foreshadowing: When Joe Astor creates a Hologram of a Police road block in the chase of "Aftermath" he is foreshadowing the real road block that comes next. He also comments "Where is our real backup?". At the end of Season 3 finale "About Face", after the Viper is blown up to prevent it from being stolen; Cole, Westlake and Frankie are at the Complex, looking at a hologram of the new Viper GTS Coupe, that then morphs into the Defender. Cole comments: "I think we'll trade up." Sure enough, when the new season premiered in the fall, it now featured the GTS. Albeit Cole would not get to drive it, as he was removed from the team for blowing up the old Viper. | |

And You Thought It Was a Game: In Episode "Aftermath", when the Viper chases Ken Guthrie, Joe creates a Hologram of a road block. Guthrie fails to recognize the fake and takes a different route to avoid the road block. But as he drives on, he notices that it was a Hologram. As the chase continues, there is another road block and Guthrie comments "What do they take me for? An Idiot? Nobody fools me twice.". But his Passenger remarks too late that the road block is for real this time. Guthrie crashes into the road block and is taken into custody afterwards. | |

"Once a Thief" establishes Joe's microchip completely erased his original consciousness and the only way to reverse the effect is to re-install his memories from an external backup. "Split Decision" suddenly changes this, stating all of the older memories are actually still there and the microchip just generates some kind of active firewall to prevent him from using them. | |

Subverted Trope | |
| Viper / int_c145f69b | comment |
Subverted Trope: In "White Fire" the Viper shoots with the EMP cannon at a van loaded with Napalm. The best chance to justify Impressive Pyrotechnics, isn't it? But all we get is a tiny explosion. Ironically after the explosion only tiny pieces of the car survive and Thomas Cole comments that he has never seen anything burning so much. Exactly the same happens with another car fitted with a napalm bomb at the end of the same episode. But this time we even see the bomb car driving away from the explosion with only small scratches. Impressive Pyrotechnics were subverted again in "Hidden Agenda". A Dodge Intrepid is loaded with bullets from a machine gun until every part of the car is damaged but still it doesnt explode. The car standing right next to it gets bullets from another impressive gun but it doesnt get a scratch. Only a small dent is seen from the firecracker hitting the car. You are the bad guy and you think you are safe inside a car because Concealment Equals Cover? "The Best Couple" proves wrong. Even when Cole is setting his machine gun to the smallest amound of caliber the bullet rips through the passenger door and injures the driver. In "Seminar from Hell" Joe seeks cover behind a car and gets shot in the shoulder. | |

20 Minutes into the Future: From Season 2 onwards the futuristic style of the series got lost somewhere. No more concept cars like in Season 1 and less fantastic inventions. This devolution in time setting was also mentioned in an interview with Jeff Kaake printed in the german DVD booklet where he says, that the future setting was dropped finally for Season 3. But the intro from Season 2-4 is still mentioning the (at that point not so far away) 21st century. | |

Brain Uploading: The episode "Once A Thief" deals with Joe meeting one of the Reluctant Mad Scientists responsible for his brain implant. The doctor reveals he has a backup of Michael Payton's entire mind on a small harddrive and offers to digitally re-install it onto Joe's microchip in true Johnny Mnemonic style. Joe eventually declines the offer and destroys the backup, fearing the potential evil his own criminal half could cause in his new position. | |
