Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNicolas Cage had to have his Ghost Rider tattoo covered with make-up to play Johnny Blaze.
- Goofs(at around 54 mins) The Caretaker tells Johnny Blaze it would be better if he stayed in the cemetery, because the demons cannot come on hallowed ground. Later (at around 1h 9 mins), Blackheart (the son of the devil) is seen inside a church near the alter, praying in a mock fashion. A church would be blessed/hallowed ground. However, Blackheart clearly states later that he doesn't have that weakness.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Caretaker: [voiceover] It's said that the West was built on legends. And that legends are a way of understanding things greater than ourselves. Forces that shape our lives, events that defy explanation. Individuals whose lives soar to the heavens or fall to the earth. This is how legends are born.
[Johnny transforms into Ghost Rider]
- Crazy creditsThe Marvel Comics logo features comic-book images of the Ghost Rider in its pages; after it fully forms it undergoes the Rider's transformation, blazing hellfire and growing spikes.
- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema version was pre-edited by the distributors to reduce shots of Johnny's face disintegrating into the Ghost Rider during his initial transformation in order for the film to receive a 12A cinema certificate. The DVD was upgraded to a 15 certificate and is fully uncut.

Here a Young Johnny Blaze sells his soul to the Devil, played by Hollywood legend Peter Fonda R.I.P, in order to save his dying dad but in doing that he has become a Warrior from hell that has to carry out kills for the Devil himself. Johnny Blaze goes against the Devil & becomes a type of Anti-hero but he has the fight against some other powerful demons that want to destroy the world, it's full on Comic-book fantasy stuff. The cast is rounded out with the always Awesome & rugged, Sam Elliott as a mysterious Caretaker that knows alot about the forces of darkness, also Eva Mendes stars as Roxanne, the love of Johnny Blaze's life. The cast are all great in their roles. A big great part of this movie is the incredible special effects, especially when Johnny Blaze transforms into the Ghost Rider, with flames pouring out of his face revealing a skull & it's done fantasticly!!! The glowing fire against the dark, gritty & grimy streets is a mesmerising visual treat, the cinematography really is fantastic. Yes the look of the movie is stunning & the music is Cool & the action is fast & furious!!! Seeing Ghost Rider riding his moterbike with flames pouring out is just such cool scenes & creates such great imagery. There's some great bits in here like the police chasing Ghost Rider & he rides up a building, it's so cool & when Ghost Rider gets a mugger & literally scares him to death & lots more great fantasy moments & some Great fight scenes with Ghost Rider using his big flaming chain as a weapon. There's at times a dark atmosphere but it's all in a blockbuster fun kind of way, i see this as an Awesome summer blockbuster movie that was just very misunderstood & underrated in my opinion, put it this way i would rather watch "Ghost Rider" than an "Iron-Man" movie or a "Captain America" movie, nothing against those flicks as i love most of the "MCU" but "Ghost Rider" is just simply a more entertaining & enjoyable movie, in my opinion.
"GHOST RIDER" is a pure fun, Action-packed Fantasy Thriller with Horror & western elements mixed into a big budget Summer Popcorn movie that's big on fun & full of Cool moments. Nicolas Cage is literally on Fire here in his role!!!
