The first movie was so good because they didn't hide how Overpowered Ghost Rider is, every fight is just a mild annoyance to him which is probably more or less accurate to the character they portrayed
@@vincentadultman6226 he may be even above hell's hierarchy, judging by how he completely humiliated mephisto in his own realm and killed satan 666 times. Hell, he even killed Dr. Strange once. Ghost Rider is a powerhouse, who is sadly underutilized in the comics.
As much as people make fun of these movies the scene when he turns into Ghost Rider for the first time actually scares me Everytime cuz with the special effects and Cage acting like he's losing his mind as Zarthos takes over him is horrifying to me.
Fun Fact: The jelly bean martini was solely Nicholas Cages' idea, he wanted to add his own spin to the character to make it his own so he added that weird quirk, which is apparently something he himself does in real life and enjoys.
I love how him laughing during him turning into the Ghost Rider. That it’s like his laughing from the shock of the pain of him turning in to a skeleton that’s on fire. Because how Nick Cage is acting it looks like the transformation is extremely painful.
I think it's because in the comics the ghost rider was originally an angel which was captured and tortured by the devil I think, but this torturing made the angel go insane and is now half demon and half angel, so him laughing and that probably has something to do with that, long story short
Makes me wonder why he doesn't eat the twinkie first and then uses the wrapper to eat the rest, the first time I get that he would've not realized immediately, but after?
@@CommanderOfPigeonsbecause he's got a rotten brain! Nah, he's just stupid. Like, literally. Dude just living his life like a dumbass and not give a lot of fuck.

To be fair to the retcon...the first movie was a Marvel movie. The sequel is Marvel Knights, which was straight to DVD/more adult themed movies. Punisher Warzone is also part of this brand and that retcons alot too even though Patrick Jane doesn't return it is meant to be set in the same universe as the original Punisher movie. Its like they went "Its canon enough to be a direct sequel, yet we won't fully commit to that and have it as it's own thing." And considering Marvel was doing this before the MCU kicked off and was trying to make more mature, dark, gritty superhero/antihero films...I think that should be applauded. They had very limited budgets because they tried giving people want they wanted...and if it would of payed off who knows where that would of led...maybe more adult superhero movies would of gone mainstream...but ultimately I think they were too ahead of what people were ready for. Shame.
@@AtmonTheExectioner Punisher: War Zone was a reboot. It's confirmed. The plan WAS for it to be a sequel, but it became a reboot, hence the Punisher was not played by Thomas Jane. War Zone is also a very distinct and different movie from the Thomas Jane movie.

Well, get ready. There is a rumor going around that Nicholas Cage will cameo as Ghost Rider in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. If it turns out to be true I will fully geek out
There’s actually a cool reason it goes all dark around the fight scenes with Demon Kerrigan. In the comics his character, Blackout, had a power that would “psionically extinguish all natural or artificial light within his immediate vicinity,” creating a . . . Blackout. Yeahhhhh the cgi is still kinda trash but at least the thought was there
I just want to point out that, in the jail scene, when the kid is the only one who didn't try to beat him up, Ghost Rider looks at the kid for a moment and says "iiinoocceeeeeent" and walks away
Good or bad Nic Cage is entertaining as hell in these movies. And like it or not, the scene where Ghost Rider is riding across the desert with the other Ghost Rider is one of the most metal things I've ever seen in my life.
Yea, that dessert scene in the first movie, it speaks to me. I remember getting chills as a kid watching that part in theaters. Love the first one, faults and all. The second one goes in the trash Imo
"He tells her he turns into a monster at night, later she sees a burning skeleton and immediately thinks that it's Johnny" Actually, that's logical. Occam's razor. Requires less assumptions than thinking a random monster shows up in the same day someone tells you that he turns into a monster. Plus, both the monster and the guy were crazy about riding bikes.
When they threw the flash bang and he spins around I like to think that the rider has a dark sense of humor and he was playing spin the bottle to see who he should kill
TBH thats how i always viewed it. In his first appearance he even stands still and sways left and right for a while before doing anything. In this same scene he didnt exactly have to turn that gigantic excavator into his machine but he did it anyway for the lols, he even laughs while doing it. Clearly he likes to enjoy himself
Ghost Rider is such a classic. It literally doesn't matter how bad it is, if you saw it during "the right time" of your life? It's forever gonna be a special place held movie lol.
One thing! Just one thing! Please tell IT to me: WHY tf do I have so many fans even though no TH-camr is unprettier than I am? WORLDWIDE!!!! WHY??? Tell me, dear nick
I always held this movie higher in terms of quality entertainment than pretty much any other superhero movie. I thought Cage's performance made so much sense for the character. An immortal badass who is responsible for his father's death, stares danger in the face for a living, and isn't really human anymore would probably be a bit manic and unhinged compared to the rest of us. The romance is just meh since it's obligatory but uninteresting. The only thing I think they really missed out on was fleshing out the antagonists and San Benganza scenes; a lot of wasted potential
@@johnsmovies287 Thats fair enough, can't argue that the first one is definitely caricatureish, but that's what I liked. That's exactly what comic heroes were supposed to be in the beginning, at least that's how I see it.
I love how when you're on the green screen with Johnny, it looks like you're moving backwards which makes it look like you're on the same bike making facing at each other.
Fun fact: Mephistopholes is the name of a demon in the German story Faust, where he gives a scholar named Faust magic powers, but then the good things he gained using those powers are taken away from him in one form or another. And yes, this is the origin of the phrase 'Faustian Bargain'.
@@cheatcode436 Faust is a DC character that from my limited knowledge is a necromancer who promises to bring back Black Adam's wife if Adam does evil for him. I wish they would've made Black Adam have to face Faust cuz it would've made a way more interesting story. He has to choose between his wife and saving the world and right as he's about to make the choice Shazam fights him until they relies that Faust is real enemy and they team up.
@@Purgosmusic Yeah I think that the character is more in reference to Faustian bargains than Faust himself. I doubt that he has any relation with Mephistopholes. Plus, we don't know if these movies are canon to the comics.
@@cheatcode436 yea exactly the movie are not faithful to the comics really at all. Like for instance my biggest irritation is they never explored the fact that Mystique is Nightcrawler's biological mother. Caz that's a very important part of Nightcrawler's arc cuz it teaches him about forgiveness. Also, Batman absolutely doesn't kill people and neither Superman or Spiderman it is an absolute like resort for those characters in connon of the old cartoons and comics.
no but seriously, the fact that the cowboy ghost rider uses his last transformation to ride with cage to the place and then he just turns around and fucks off, has been bothering me ever since I saw this movie 57 years ago.
I never actually saw the entirety of any ghost rider movie, and for some reason in my mind it never occured to me that those actually have a plot. My brain just went "flaming skull on a motocycle the movie" and i simply assumed that this is just that
Reminds me of one character from Twisted Metal games, at least one of them had a skeleton guy riding a motorcycle and shooting flaming skulls as his special weapon.
@@TheICEgirl6100 The Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze version) in the "Agents of Shield" has no definitive actor yet. They only show the cgi. However, if you're referring to Robbie Reyes, I think it would be best if he was a supporting character. Because if the MCU is going to make a Ghost Rider film, it would be definitely centered to Johnny Blaze. Norman Reedus is my eyed actor for the role.
I still liked the movies, and Ghost Rider is gotta be the most badass looking comic book characters ever, Flaming Skull, Chains, a Motorcycle that's on fire, Spikes on his outfit & Nicholas Cage, The whole damn package lol
@@barb0za0 Yes, I’m speaking specifically on the original folktale, rather than the play. I’ll admit though I didn’t even know a play adaptation of the legend existed
Mephistopheles (/ˌmɛfɪˈstɒfɪˌliːz/, German pronunciation: [mefɪˈstoːfɛlɛs]; also Mephistophilus, Mephostopheles, Mephistophilis, Mephisto, Mephastophilis and other variants) is a demon featured in German folklore. He originally appeared in literature as the demon in the Faust legend,
@@foresttaniguchi3168 Yeah, I was confused too. He’s specifically referring to the play from an English playwright. I’m sure there are differences that set it apart from the original legend.
22:33 I always assumed that the whole "mindless monster" business was because johnny repressed the rider for so long that he would just feed on any type of sin available.
I was in the first ghost rider, evil inmate scene and a bar scene. Got a nice close up of my face as the cops bring him into the main holding cell. Lol, was very cool to work on, I still think myself lucky to have tiny bit extra parts in films and tv. I didn’t even see this movie for like five years or so after it came out. I was jumping up and down the cell bars like a rabid monkey, it seemed to amuse Nic. Great memories.
About the sequel, the first bit, Ghost Rider wastes times with all that crap in the first battle to instill fear into the dudes there, he's a flaming skeleton come to take their souls. Sure it wastes time but it does illustrate that it's a more batshit insane Ghost Rider that's highly unpredictable and operates more like a horror monster than a dude with powers. The second bit, the grenades, it was some new stuff that sucked the oxygen out of the air so Kerrigan thought it would work on something made of fire. When he got hit by it he was doing that glitch-spin to just freak out the mercs there some more, it's all to show that he's just friggin insane. Third bit, he should've killed Kerrigan at the end of the battle but he throws him away instead since at the same moment he detects Danny's demon energy and goes to pursue him instead. After that, the bit about Kerrigan's powers, it's decay and darkness, that's why the background goes all black when he's killing people, it's his powers of darkness trapping them in a prison they perceive mentally but it does look kinda weird. Presumably he can eat the Twinkie since it's covered in plastic which isn't biodegradable and his powers works on organics and natural materials. Also, awesome video.
Fact: As a kid I was so terrified of the transformation scene on the motorcycle where his face distorts and he’s laughing/crying. Whenever my dad turned on these movies I’d run out of the room, sometimes even cry. Now though I absolutely love these movies, somehow their flaws make them so much fun to watch 😭
Nicholas Cage is a National Treasure. So much technical wizardry went into the first, the second is more comic based. Both are my guilty pleasures over all else.
That just reminds of Nostalgia Critic's Care Bear reviews. He actually made a similar joke in his Ghost Rider video if I remember correctly. "DAAAARK HEAAART!"
the original ghost rider is unironically one of my dads favorite movies. he doesnt find it cheesy, he thinks its genuinely awesome. so it has a weird, special place in my heart.
Fraser getting lots of roles that arent his archetype like he got before. The sexy and charming MC haha Which is kind of cool because his acting chops are on point. Especially in Doom Patrol.
@@daoyang223 I like Doom Patrol so much because I hate his character so much, but only because he is well-acted. This is a totally different Brendan than Inksong lmao, especially during the flashbacks. He played the smug unforgiving asshole so well it made me angry irl.
@@JimJamTheAdmin yeah thats what made me appreciate his acting. Back in the day he used to play loveable dudes but nowadays he really takes on more 3 dimensional roles. For some time I thought he was a one trick pony always getting typecast as that charming dude but here he is now really showing off his chops which is really nice.
Punisher (Thomas Jane), Ghost Rider and Daredevil are the unofficial Marvel trilogy from my childhood. These movies are so, so flawed but I hold them so close to my heart.
These movies were the beginning of Cage's initial downfall as an actor. Prior to these movies, he had made the "National Treasure" movies which were very well received. Thankfully Nic pulled himself out of the slump and is making seriously good movies again. Go watch Mandy, Color out of Space, and PIG. He's absolutely fantastic in all three of those movies, and they are all from the last 3 years.
Honestly even in his slump he is still really watchable. Good script, bad script, no script - if you hire Nicholas Cage you know he's gonna act *the fuck* out of your movie
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey That's also because of his bad spending habits, he buys a lot of useless shit like a shrunken head, an Iranian shah's car, a fucking dinosaur fossil, two castles, etc.
To be completely fair, that thing you said about Ghost Rider basically not caring that the entire world knows he exists is very comic book accurate from what I've read.
Blackheart's intelligence in this movie was just off the charts. Dude constantly underestimated the Ghost Rider despite knowing full well how powerful the Spirit of Vengeance is, hires three fodder-level demons to *fight a being that eats demons every day like they're nothing*, and the most big-brained move of all: *absorbs one thousand damned souls to fight against a creature that literally specializes in incinerating souls*. 10000000 IQ villain and master strategist.
Probably would never happen, but I'd actually love to see a ghost rider horror movie where are main protagonists are sinners that we follow as the audience and watch them get hunted down. With a sick horror director this would be an incredible spin on it i feel.
Idk if that would work, cause it’d just be him hunting down humans, which would be kinda boring cause he doesn’t do anything gruesome to them just eats their souls. And plus the survivor would most likely be some criminal because it wouldn’t make sense for the ghost rider to chase an innocent. So we’d kinda want them to get caught. Plus, how would a simple human get away from this guy anyway? The whole movie would be extremely cliché and full of pure plot armour.
Cage reportedly actually had talismans and supposedly magical objects on him during filming to get into the role of the Ghost Rider. The guy loves that character.
@@huimang94 There is an IGN interview on TH-cam for Ghost Rider 2 where he talks about it, but you'll also find a bunch of other articles on it if you google "Nicolas Cage Ghost Rider relics" :)
So many people don't get that in the scene at 32:44 he is able to eat the twinkie not because the twinkies last forever but because it's in a plastic bag
LOL, that's some twilight zone bullshit: "Cancer gone, but father still killed." Edit: I know I saw this once, but forgot all of it. That's weirdly a well thought out ending kill. Especially for this type of movie.
"Drive Angry" is the 3rd "Ghost Rider". It's a Nic Cage movie in the style of "Logan", where he is an immortal badass who crawls out of hell with a hot rod to drive fast and save his daughter figure from an evil cult. Boobs, blood and bang-bang bonanza.
@Joe Rogaine And doesn't he feel like the enforcer the devil would send to keep tabs on the Ghost Rider? Who watches the watchmen? William Fichtner. Cause that's the way, aha aha, he likes it, aha aha.
I think Ghost Rider being teased in WandaVision would be awesome. I mean it would be awesome had they gone with the Mephisto route instead of the mental health story to exploit the audience.
@@daoyang223 technically, Ghost Rider (the Blaze one) had already been teased in "Agents of Shield Season 4". There was that one flashback scene where Robbie (the current Ghost Rider in the show) got his power from the original Ghost Rider (Blaze).
These are like the epitome of so bad it's good. Loved these movies as a kid. Nic Cage is just an absolute treasure of a man, when he hams shit up it's absolutely hilarious. Few things bring me more joy than watching Nic Cage freak out and start screaming random nonsensical shit. *"HE'S SCRAPIN' AT THE DOOOOOOOOOR"*
1997's "Ghost Rider Resurrected" by Mark Texeira et Howard Mackie (collecting the 1990s stunning Marvel comic series) cannot be more highly recommended. Closest thing to your wish for now.
At 23:25 you can see the actor crack just a bit. What a profession to be honest because I think I would have cracked with the first “he’s scraping at the doooooooor!” Lmao
The behind the scenes were classic! Nick went completely method when he dressed up as GR.. he had some string lights around his neck and makeup before post.. refused to talk.. genius!
The first one is my guilty pleasure. It’s like the Evil Dead of comic book movies. I couldn’t even finish the second. It was just that bad. Maybe after we see how Sam Raimi does with the next Doctor Strange, maybe he could direct an R-rated Ghost Rider with someone like Keanu Reeves playing Johnny Blaze this time around. I’d also be fine with letting Cage come back as long as Raimi allows him to be as absurd as possible, the only way Ghost Rider can be done right.
FYI: Ghost Rider (Spirit Of vengeance) isn't the sequel of the 1st movie. It's a reboot, but keep the same main actor plus a few other characters. I enjoy watching the first movie. The 2nd is just so disappointing.
@@thegodzhilla I know right? I can't name a single redeeming feature from that movie. I hated how they changed the actor for Mephisto, because Peter Fonda absolutely nailed that role
@@riatorex8722 C'mon, the Rider'd-out excavator is definitely a redeeming feature! It doesn't make up for all the other issues, but it's undeniably badass.
“Do you think Ghost Rider won’t be ready to face The Puddle Man?” “No, it’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience!” “Oh really?” “Yeah he kills him in half a second” “Instantaneous murders are tight!”
Man Ghost Rider is one of those movies that will forever have a special place in my heart. The scene where he rides up and back down the skyscraper lives in my head rent free.
Ok beyond the general "B Movie"ness of it all, the action scenes are shot well and with confidence, they frame the hits and they connect well, and the shots move to center the action pieces. It is such a simple thing but even the biggest budget holywood films mess it up with shaky cam and milisecond cuts. Unironically well done on that part.
"Twinkies last forever" was a great long running joke until Hostess went out of business in 2012 then everyone was like "Wait is that true? No? Oh shit..."
thats how he's called in the first movie, they never call him Mephisto, I actually thought Mephisto was something else myself, didn't know it was just a nickname
Nic acts according to how good or bad a script is according to some article about Nic. So if its silly he acts bad and silly and if its absurd and really arthousey he will actually take it to 150 and give it his all.
The first transformation is still one of my favourite Nich Cage moments One thing I didn’t remember about these movies are in the original the skull is white but in the sequel it’s black?
The reason Johnny blaze drinks a jelly bean martini is explained in the DVD commentary. It’s simple. Nick cage asked for a jelly bean martini.

TBH thats how i always viewed it. In his first appearance he even stands still and sways left and right for a while before doing anything.

I always held this movie higher in terms of quality entertainment than pretty much any other superhero movie. I thought Cage's performance made so much sense for the character. An immortal badass who is responsible for his father's death, stares danger in the face for a living, and isn't really human anymore would probably be a bit manic and unhinged compared to the rest of us. The romance is just meh since it's obligatory but uninteresting. The only thing I think they really missed out on was fleshing out the antagonists and San Benganza scenes; a lot of wasted potential
Modern superhero movies are just unwatchable for me, hope they stop milking them already
I’m honestly more of a fan of the modern iteration of Ghost Rider than Johnny Blaze GR. Both are cool but the current guy isn’t a caricature.
@@Ares01008 100% agreed.
@@johnsmovies287 Thats fair enough, can't argue that the first one is definitely caricatureish, but that's what I liked. That's exactly what comic heroes were supposed to be in the beginning, at least that's how I see it.

Pro tip: don't play chicken with the Ghost Rider!
Fun fact: Mephistopholes is the name of a demon in the German story Faust, where he gives a scholar named Faust magic powers, but then the good things he gained using those powers are taken away from him in one form or another. And yes, this is the origin of the phrase 'Faustian Bargain'.
Any relation to Faust from DC comics? Genuinely interested
@@Purgosmusic idk. I don’t read comics.
@@cheatcode436 Faust is a DC character that from my limited knowledge is a necromancer who promises to bring back Black Adam's wife if Adam does evil for him. I wish they would've made Black Adam have to face Faust cuz it would've made a way more interesting story. He has to choose between his wife and saving the world and right as he's about to make the choice Shazam fights him until they relies that Faust is real enemy and they team up.
@@Purgosmusic Yeah I think that the character is more in reference to Faustian bargains than Faust himself. I doubt that he has any relation with Mephistopholes. Plus, we don't know if these movies are canon to the comics.
@@cheatcode436 yea exactly the movie are not faithful to the comics really at all. Like for instance my biggest irritation is they never explored the fact that Mystique is Nightcrawler's biological mother. Caz that's a very important part of Nightcrawler's arc cuz it teaches him about forgiveness. Also, Batman absolutely doesn't kill people and neither Superman or Spiderman it is an absolute like resort for those characters in connon of the old cartoons and comics.
no but seriously, the fact that the cowboy ghost rider uses his last transformation to ride with cage to the place and then he just turns around and fucks off, has been bothering me ever since I saw this movie 57 years ago.
I may be wrong, but I think they ran out of budget on that one. They can't cgi two ghost riders fighting
They ran out of money lmao
I never actually saw the entirety of any ghost rider movie, and for some reason in my mind it never occured to me that those actually have a plot. My brain just went "flaming skull on a motocycle the movie" and i simply assumed that this is just that
Reminds me of one character from Twisted Metal games, at least one of them had a skeleton guy riding a motorcycle and shooting flaming skulls as his special weapon.

Same
Decay is the Best supporting character of either movie.
the first movie gets too much shit
Same
I didn't like the 2nd one... Not as fun, cool or funny
About the sequel, the first bit, Ghost Rider wastes times with all that crap in the first battle to instill fear into the dudes there, he's a flaming skeleton come to take their souls. Sure it wastes time but it does illustrate that it's a more batshit insane Ghost Rider that's highly unpredictable and operates more like a horror monster than a dude with powers.
The second bit, the grenades, it was some new stuff that sucked the oxygen out of the air so Kerrigan thought it would work on something made of fire. When he got hit by it he was doing that glitch-spin to just freak out the mercs there some more, it's all to show that he's just friggin insane.
Third bit, he should've killed Kerrigan at the end of the battle but he throws him away instead since at the same moment he detects Danny's demon energy and goes to pursue him instead.
After that, the bit about Kerrigan's powers, it's decay and darkness, that's why the background goes all black when he's killing people, it's his powers of darkness trapping them in a prison they perceive mentally but it does look kinda weird. Presumably he can eat the Twinkie since it's covered in plastic which isn't biodegradable and his powers works on organics and natural materials. Also, awesome video.
I assumed the twinkie was a gag about processed foods.
We all know the best parts of these films is Nic Cage, he put god tier acting into these films
They actually use Nic Cage's x-rays to make him look more real in the first movie And It's Absolutely Perfect.
@@bribriarwhitey7781 seriously? Nice detail
Fact: As a kid I was so terrified of the transformation scene on the motorcycle where his face distorts and he’s laughing/crying. Whenever my dad turned on these movies I’d run out of the room, sometimes even cry. Now though I absolutely love these movies, somehow their flaws make them so much fun to watch 😭
Nicholas Cage is a National Treasure. So much technical wizardry went into the first, the second is more comic based. Both are my guilty pleasures over all else.
I see what you did there...now please face the wall for your terrible joke
Nice pun
The giant crane wheel scene in the sequel was so unnecessarily badass, i love it
his nick cage videos are always the best because he's legit in love with him
it's so funny
NICHOLAS CAGE RENAISSANCE

Yes
Nic is attractive lol
If only he'd been named Dark Heart instead of Black Heart. There could have been a meme about how Ghost Rider shared an enemy with the Care Bears.
I want ghost rider to penance stare a care bear I'm pretty sure they are hiding warcrimes
That just reminds of Nostalgia Critic's Care Bear reviews. He actually made a similar joke in his Ghost Rider video if I remember correctly. "DAAAARK HEAAART!"
the original ghost rider is unironically one of my dads favorite movies. he doesnt find it cheesy, he thinks its genuinely awesome. so it has a weird, special place in my heart.
Fun fact: The jelly bean martini was Nic Cage's idea. If you've ever said "Nic Cage just plays Nic Cage," that scene should be on your list.
Now that Brendan Fraser is coming back, it could be a great idea to review The mummy's saga.
Fraser getting lots of roles that arent his archetype like he got before. The sexy and charming MC haha
Which is kind of cool because his acting chops are on point. Especially in Doom Patrol.

I agree, i want to see a Brendan Fraser movie being reviewed, one of my favorite actors since i was a kid.
Damn that behind the scenes shot of the director holding a camera while zooming down the road on roller skates actually looks pretty epic ngl
Punisher (Thomas Jane), Ghost Rider and Daredevil are the unofficial Marvel trilogy from my childhood. These movies are so, so flawed but I hold them so close to my heart.

I agree, all 3 are extremely special.
Plus Daredevil started my love for Evanescence waayyyy back then, so I'm thankful for that one lol.
I will proudly say, that for majority of my teenage years, this was my favorite film. One of my favourite Nicholas Cage movies 😂
Nostalgia would have me remember these movies as bad ass.
bad as shit*
What do you mean, og ghost rider was badass, demon red dead redemption old man was cool af
These movies were the beginning of Cage's initial downfall as an actor. Prior to these movies, he had made the "National Treasure" movies which were very well received. Thankfully Nic pulled himself out of the slump and is making seriously good movies again. Go watch Mandy, Color out of Space, and PIG. He's absolutely fantastic in all three of those movies, and they are all from the last 3 years.
I blame his financial problems for keeping him in the slump for so long he was desperate for anything but could only accept crap
Honestly even in his slump he is still really watchable. Good script, bad script, no script - if you hire Nicholas Cage you know he's gonna act *the fuck* out of your movie
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey That's also because of his bad spending habits, he buys a lot of useless shit like a shrunken head, an Iranian shah's car, a fucking dinosaur fossil, two castles, etc.
@@PyroFTB i don't see a problem with those investments.
Nic cage buys the things that people say they would if they had the money to. Nothing at all wrong with it
To be completely fair, that thing you said about Ghost Rider basically not caring that the entire world knows he exists is very comic book accurate from what I've read.
thank you mr howard
thank you mr howard
I know “it just works.”
Blackheart's intelligence in this movie was just off the charts. Dude constantly underestimated the Ghost Rider despite knowing full well how powerful the Spirit of Vengeance is, hires three fodder-level demons to *fight a being that eats demons every day like they're nothing*, and the most big-brained move of all: *absorbs one thousand damned souls to fight against a creature that literally specializes in incinerating souls*. 10000000 IQ villain and master strategist.
They're not demons. They're fallen angels.
The jellybean martini was actually Nicholas Cage's idea, he says it in an interview. He blatantly does this at home hahaha 😅
😂 that makes it better
Probably would never happen, but I'd actually love to see a ghost rider horror movie where are main protagonists are sinners that we follow as the audience and watch them get hunted down. With a sick horror director this would be an incredible spin on it i feel.
Damn it! Now I want something that will never happen!
I had the exact same idea for either a ghost rider movie or a punisher movie
Idk if that would work, cause it’d just be him hunting down humans, which would be kinda boring cause he doesn’t do anything gruesome to them just eats their souls. And plus the survivor would most likely be some criminal because it wouldn’t make sense for the ghost rider to chase an innocent. So we’d kinda want them to get caught. Plus, how would a simple human get away from this guy anyway? The whole movie would be extremely cliché and full of pure plot armour.
BionicPig: has a bunch of different characters that he hates and keep breaking into his house!
Elvis: Nicolas Cage!
the first ghost rider was still looking good. the second one just went so crazy its like the entire cast was high
I can't believe how insanely seriously i had taken the first movie back in 2007. Basically an oscar winning masterpiece.
What? That's hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
Me too! I though this movie was so mature and intense as a kid lol
Nicolas Cage is one of my favorite genres, the man adds a certain quality to every film he's in that no one else can emulate.
I like how you went ahead and put Nick into his own genre. 🤣😆🤣 But I guess he sort of is.
He's been typecasted as Nicholas Cage
Cage reportedly actually had talismans and supposedly magical objects on him during filming to get into the role of the Ghost Rider. The guy loves that character.
Do you have an official source for this? If it’s true I’d love to read/see Nic Cage talk about it lolol
@@huimang94 There is an IGN interview on TH-cam for Ghost Rider 2 where he talks about it, but you'll also find a bunch of other articles on it if you google "Nicolas Cage Ghost Rider relics" :)
So many people don't get that in the scene at 32:44 he is able to eat the twinkie not because the twinkies last forever but because it's in a plastic bag
I believe in an interview Nick Cage said the jellybeans was his idea and he was very adamant about it.
That definitely sounds very Nick Cage-like 😂
LOL, that's some twilight zone bullshit: "Cancer gone, but father still killed." Edit: I know I saw this once, but forgot all of it. That's weirdly a well thought out ending kill. Especially for this type of movie.
"Drive Angry" is the 3rd "Ghost Rider".
It's a Nic Cage movie in the style of "Logan", where he is an immortal badass who crawls out of hell with a hot rod to drive fast and save his daughter figure from an evil cult.
Boobs, blood and bang-bang bonanza.
And "Raising Arizona" is clearly the prequel. Texx Cobb doesn't need a flaming skull to be Ghost Rider!
Let's hope he sees this comment

5:00 This actors name is Matt Long, ive meet him once, and he was pretty chill. His mom was my school teacher, and i just happend to bump into them.
If Marvel ever makes their own Ghost Rider movie, they better get Cage to play Carter Slade.
I think Ghost Rider being teased in WandaVision would be awesome.
I mean it would be awesome had they gone with the Mephisto route instead of the mental health story to exploit the audience.
@@daoyang223 technically, Ghost Rider (the Blaze one) had already been teased in "Agents of Shield Season 4". There was that one flashback scene where Robbie (the current Ghost Rider in the show) got his power from the original Ghost Rider (Blaze).
These are like the epitome of so bad it's good. Loved these movies as a kid. Nic Cage is just an absolute treasure of a man, when he hams shit up it's absolutely hilarious. Few things bring me more joy than watching Nic Cage freak out and start screaming random nonsensical shit.
*"HE'S SCRAPIN' AT THE DOOOOOOOOOR"*
Man, Ghost Rider could’ve been so SO good if Marvel made it. The animation on Ghost Rider’s head was impressive as shit imo
Nahh I assume its gonna end up like Elektra, its so boring its forgettable. Then again, Elektra of all people??
No point in making a 12a ghost rider
The second one is trash asf but the cgi for the skull and fire was on point, it was very impressive
1997's "Ghost Rider Resurrected" by Mark Texeira et Howard Mackie (collecting the 1990s stunning Marvel comic series) cannot be more highly recommended. Closest thing to your wish for now.
I agree Ghost Rider needs to be rated R.
At 23:25 you can see the actor crack just a bit. What a profession to be honest because I think I would have cracked with the first “he’s scraping at the doooooooor!” Lmao

"sorry, all out of mercy" is the most iconic line from these movies, dont @ me
No joke, for like a solid 8 years of my life i had NO idea spirit of vengeace was a sequel
The first one is my guilty pleasure. It’s like the Evil Dead of comic book movies. I couldn’t even finish the second. It was just that bad. Maybe after we see how Sam Raimi does with the next Doctor Strange, maybe he could direct an R-rated Ghost Rider with someone like Keanu Reeves playing Johnny Blaze this time around. I’d also be fine with letting Cage come back as long as Raimi allows him to be as absurd as possible, the only way Ghost Rider can be done right.
Oh yeah
The second one had the best ghost rider design tho
Sam Raimi directing a Ghost Rider film with Nic Cage sounds better. Keanu is a good actor but lacks the over the top attitude like Cage
The first one isn't the best movie, it isn't the best Cage movie, it isn't the best comic-based movie. But it's a dann fun piece.
that would be ironic if Keanu play Johnny Blaze because he was John Constantine in DC that hunts demon too, lmao
FYI: Ghost Rider (Spirit Of vengeance) isn't the sequel of the 1st movie. It's a reboot, but keep the same main actor plus a few other characters.
I enjoy watching the first movie. The 2nd is just so disappointing.

Man Ghost Rider is one of those movies that will forever have a special place in my heart. The scene where he rides up and back down the skyscraper lives in my head rent free.
Ok beyond the general "B Movie"ness of it all, the action scenes are shot well and with confidence, they frame the hits and they connect well, and the shots move to center the action pieces. It is such a simple thing but even the biggest budget holywood films mess it up with shaky cam and milisecond cuts. Unironically well done on that part.
Something that I always respect about older Hong Kong production is fight scenes that are filmed in one long cut.
I think he could come out during the day because Danny gave him back the rider without a contract so he could use the rider as he pleases
Fr the kid probably never added the night requirement
