Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider [ edit ]

• Back to Hell.
• [To Gressel] Hey, dirtbag.
• [To Abigor] Time to clear the air.
• Sorry, all out of mercy.
• [to the mugger] You, guilty!
• Look into my eyes. Your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent. Feel their pain!
• Nice jacket. Very nice.
• [to the boy] You, innocent.
• Let's ride.
• I'm the only one who can walk in both worlds. I'm Ghost Rider.
• [to Blackheart-turned-Legion] How does it feel to have all that evil inside of you? All their power, [turns into Ghost Rider] all their souls. A thousand souls to burn. Look into my eyes. Your souls are stained by the blood of the innocent. Feel their pain!
• My daddy once said "If you don't make a choice, the choice makes you".
• [To Roxanne, after stopping her on the freeway] I want to talk to you. I haven't seen you in 56,000 years.
• Yeah I'm good, feels like my skull's on fire, but I'm good.
• You can´t live in fear...
• The last time I let a stranger help me out, it didn't turn out so good.

Blackheart [ edit ]

• Who? The Ghost Rider? Your greatest creation? Go ahead. Send him after me . I will retire him, just like I'll retire you...Father.
• [after being told that "he" shouldn't be here] That's what they keep telling me.
• Looking for someone?
• Now we know his weakness.
• [to Ghost Rider] Your penance stare doesn't work on me. I have no soul to burn. The Caretaker forget to mention about that, huh? Surprise. He said you're going to bring me back. I'm not going back; I like it here!
• [after inhaling all the souls] My name is Legion. For we are...many.
• All of your world, all of your souls will be mine now.
• You have his heart; now I'm gonna break it.
• They say raise no more devils than you can lay down. My father raised one too many.
• [to the priest] Forgive me Father, for I have sinned... I have sinned a lot.

Mephistopheles [ edit ]

• [When Johnny looks at the contract giving his soul to him to save Johnny's father, Johnny accidentally cuts himself on the scroll, and a drop of blood lands on the signature space; Mephistopheles takes the contract] Oh, that will work quite nicely.
• Forget about friends, family, love.
• I know why you're here. I know what you're after. It's my contract. They're my souls.
• You will suffer for this. Now, deal with my rider.

Carter Slade/Phantom Rider/The Caretaker [ edit ]

• Good morning, bone-head...
• You're the Rider. The Ghost Rider. Get used to it, kid, it'll be a lot easier. If you don't, I've got nice cozy spot picked out for you.
• Congratulations. The chances just went from none to slim.
• Figured you'd be back, bone-head...
• I've got one last ride left in me.
• Stick to the shadows.
• This is the end of the trail for me. Got nothing left... I could only change one more time and I was saving it for this.
• God knows I've made my share of mistakes, and I've been trying to make them right ever since. Guess all I've to do now is hope He sees fit to give me another chance.
• [narrating] It's said that the west was built on legends...

Dialogue [ edit ]

About ghost rider (2007 film) [ edit ].

• Yeah, there are a couple of scenes there. There is the scene in the prison cell where everyone jumps on him and beating on him and he turns into Ghost Rider and explodes and burns his way through the bars. You saw a little bit of that in the trailer and that’s from Steve Norrington, or I should say David because David wrote that. I really liked that a lot and I loved David’s script. I thought it was great. It was a different script. That’s also the nature of the beast that when you come onto a movie you want to make your own version of the movie. Goyer’s was a very dark, very hard R which is cool, but it’s one of those things where it’s my deal with the devil, if you will – when you want to make a ‘Ghost Rider’ movie it’s expensive. It’s not like you make like ‘The Crow’ or ‘Blade’ or something. It’s like what I was just saying to you. It’s so expensive that it’s like, ‘If you’re going to give me all the money to make this movie right I have to be responsible and try to get everyone I can to come and see the film.’ You can’t make it a cult film. You have to make it a big film which it should be.
• I mean, you write the best Johnny Blaze that you can and to be honest, it’s funny because you have all your weaknesses as a writer and your strengths as a writer and I remember writing Johnny Blaze for the first time and he was drinking Jack Daniels out of the bottle and chain smoking. I remember giving Nick the first draft and he was really honest about it. He was like, ‘I don’t know anyone who drinks Jack Daniels out of a bottle.’ I thought, ‘I don’t either, but they’re always in the movies. Who does that?’ No one does that. He was like, ‘I don’t chain smoke.’ So then you start talking to Nick and he brings something different to it. Then Nick starts saying really far out things, and they’re so far out there that they’re honest. I mean, it’s like when Johnny Depp in ‘Pirates’ does this sort of gay, drunk Keith Richards and the studio freaked out and the studio was like, ‘What are you doing?!’ He was just doing something different, but there was something in that character that made it honest. Nick did the same thing. He was just like, ‘I feel like if you didn’t know that any minute you were going to turn into the Ghost Rider, what would that be like?’ Nick said, ‘I think that it would be like I’m in a dentist chair and that musak is playing and at any minute you’re going to go and it’s going to be painful and horrible. So you’re going to try and calm yourself and keep yourself safe because at any minute you’re going to change.’ I thought that was really smart and interesting and different. Nick always brings that.
• Well, I’ve seen CG fire before and yes, I thought that it would be easier. We all did which is why we come out February 16, but we were supposed to come out in August. Literally, there will be FX delivered up until the end of January 30 because we had to write new programs. Fire is fucking tricky, man. Look at that fire which looks cool and then you move it and you put it on film at twenty four frames per second it changes everything. It all of a sudden looks really flickery and light and not strong, and so you add liquid to it to make it feel stronger and smoother and whatnot, but then it’s like Ghost Rider goes that way and the fire stays here which it really would as a sort of ghost image. We didn’t want that because it looked weird. Fire has to be a Ghost Rider. He commands the fire. The fire doesn’t command him. All of these little things become like your life, and so it’s really about – like I’ve always said – looking at the greatest CG creations which is Gollum, I think. It’s probably like Gollum or the last ‘Pirates’ Davy Jones was genius. It’s amazing, right? Those things are great because you have expression. You have eyes. Gollum’s eyes are huge and you’ve got lines in the eyes and the lips and the teeth are like this. We didn’t have any of that. We had no expression. So you’ve got a skull that’s got no eyes, no lips, no tongue, it’s got no wrinkles. All you’ve got is this fucking skull. So you have to deal with that, and then my idea was to use the fire to give it expression. Once you do that that’s a whole new thing now and the fire has to change colors. It’s got to get smaller when he’s sad and go blue. Then angry goes white hot and it gets super high and that became a whole other thing.
• Every time you see the Ghost Rider it’s all CGI, but a lot of the times Nick is doing all the expressions and all of that. So it’s his body language. It’s his movement. It’s his talking and everything else. What it would be basically is that Nick, or Eddie his stunt double, depending on the scene and how violent it was, they’d wear a green neoprene skin diver head with an interactive lighting collar to give the interactive light for the flames. So they do that and we remove the head and put the skull on, put the flame on and then it’s like, ‘How much flame do you put in the eyes so that it’s not cartoony?’ But you do want to put light in the eyes so that it doesn’t go entirely black. Black just disappears.

Ghost Rider is a 2007 supernatural action film based on the comic book of the same name from Marvel Comics .

Johnny Blaze, the son in a father-son motorcycle stunt team , is in love with Roxanne , the daughter of the richest man in town. After planning to run away with her, Johnny discovers his father is terminally ill with little time left. The Devil (in an awesome Cameo performance by Peter Fonda) shows up and offers Johnny a Deal with the Devil . Johnny asks the Devil to save his father's life. Miraculously, Barton Blaze is cured of his cancer , but dies immediately afterward in an accident because the Devil wants Johnny freed up.

Realizing what he's just gotten himself into, Johnny takes off and abandons his sweetheart at their meeting place.

Fifteen or twenty years later , we join Johnny (now portrayed as an adult by Nicolas Cage ) on the road. He's now a world-famous stunt cyclist, and repeating the Survival Mantra "you can't live in fear", knowing the Devil hasn't come for him yet, but he keeps living through the increasingly insane stunts he does.

Meanwhile, Blackheart, son of the devil, shows up and has decided it's time for the old man to step aside for a new Lord of Hell. He summons three elemental demons to serve him, promising that if they help him defeat the Devil, he'll give them nobility in Hell.

Meanwhile, Roxanne has turned up to interview Johnny after his stunt. Johnny takes this as a sign and asks her out. But the Devil of course picks the night she agrees to give him another chance to call in his marker. Johnny refuses, but cannot resist the power of hell. He transforms into the Ghost Rider and dispatches the first of Blackheart's minibosses. Now Johnny must try to control the power of the Rider, defeat the elemental demons, and Blackheart - all while trying to keep Roxanne out of the line of fire.

The rest of the film plays out like a video game. Meet a mentor . Character Development (such that it is), Boss Fight with one of the minibosses.

Despite the critical consensus, the film managed to do well at the box office. A not-quite-sequel/not-quite-reboot, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance was released in 2012, which featured Idris Elba in a supporting role and was helmed by Neveldine/Taylor, the guys behind the Crank films and Gamer . The sequel was met with the same critical response of the first, if not worse, however worldwide it had modest financial success.

Ghost Rider was one of Marvel's February releases, which were by and large B-Movies as compared to their summer blockbuster cash cows, X-Men and Spider-Man . To read about the comic book, go here . For a much later Spiritual Licensee with different themes, a bigger Grindhouse theme and less Villain Decay , see Drive Angry .

• Absolute Cleavage : Roxanne seems unaware of the top two buttons of every shirt she wears.
• Age Cut : The film starts with young Johnny and Roxanne, then cuts to the adult Johnny.
• As the Good Book Says... : Blackheart says the I Am Legion line verbatim.
• The Atoner : Both Riders.
• Awesomeness Is Volatile : Implicitly the reason that Ghost Rider's bitchin' hellcycle tears up the road, sets things on fire and sends cars flying.
• Badass Biker : Exactly What It Says on the Tin .
• Body Horror : Johnny's transformation into the Ghost Rider.
• But Your Wings Are Beautiful : Roxanne does to Johnny in the end when she sees him as Ghost Rider.
• Cassandra Truth : Johnny confesses he's the Ghost Rider to Roxanne, but she believes it's just a fear of commitment sort of thing.
• Call It Karma : The Penance Stare. If you look into GR's eyes while he's within an arm's reach of you, he can force you to experience every iota of pain you've ever inflicted on others without cause in your entire life. Your average hood just realizes he should go home and rethink his life. A Complete Monster will be reduced to a vegetable - unless they don't have a soul .
• Civvie Spandex : Justified in that Johnny is a performance motorcyclist so wears biker gear as his street clothes.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience : There's something of an 'orange and blue' theme around Ghost Rider and Blackheart respectively.
• Cool Bike : The Ghost Rider's flaming bike.
• Cool Horse : The previous Ghost Rider 's flaming metal-banded horse .
• Combat Stilettos : Roxanne is surprisingly good at running in heels.
• Composite Character : Ghost Rider is Johnny Blaze, but the different appearance of Ghost Rider (Chain wrapped around the torso, and the spikey one) is the comic book costume of Danny Ketch (Ghost Rider II). Originally, the chain was exclusive to Danny, who had the spike-bearing costume. When Johnny was brought back for the new comics, he inherited the look. Johnny originally wore stylized black leathers with a high collar and that was it . Also, Johnny's version of Ghost Rider fired blasts of flames while Danny had the Penance Stare. This version has both powers, though the Penance Stare is given more importance by the plot.
• Confessional : Blackheart mockingly confesses to a priest before killing him.
• Confused Bystander Interview : This scene happens with a goth girl who is not so much confused as impressed .
• Convection, Schmonvection : Justified since it's magical fire.
• Additionally, in the movie Johnny never actually agrees. He cuts himself, bleeds on the contract, and Mephisto considers it sealed. That may actually account for his inability to remove the powers once the contract was complete.
• The main plot item the contract of San Venganza, was the result of basically an entire crapsack city making deals with the Devil.
• In Spirits of Vengeance , Blaze confesses that he did make the deal for personal gain; that is, he couldn't let his father go and he thought he could save him. Blaze also has much less control over the Rider's actions in that film, to the point where he's justifiable afraid it might go around killing people for petty sins like software piracy.
• Dramatic Finger Pointing
• Elemental Powers : Ghost Rider is Fire . He's pitted against three demons based on wind , water , and earth .
• Evil Is Deathly Cold : Blackheart freezes a biker's beer just by being nearby.
• Faustian Rebellion : Johnny does this after the Devil shows up to thank him for living up to his contract.
• Flash Back : Johnny recalls his father fondly when he has to explain why he wants to do a certain stunt in a certain way. (See below).
• Flipping the Bird : Ghost Rider does this when he escapes from the police (See Under the Sea below)
• Freaky Is Cool : See also But Your Wings Are Beautiful .
• Genre Savvy : Johnny recognizes Good Cop, Bad Cop when he sees it.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom : Blackheart after getting the contract.
• Good Cop, Bad Cop : The police try this on Johnny when he's suspected of murder. It fails because Blaze knows that they are both good guys.
• Blackheart - Way to set yourself up with a fatal weakness :
• Really, Mephistopheles -- you kill the guy's father, force him to abandon his Love Interest , and then make Johnny stand her up when he reunites with her, and you're surprised that Johnny can control the power of the Ghost Rider, doesn't have to give it back after fulfilling the terms of the contract, and has sworn to fight your evil influence wherever he finds it?
• Also happens in Spirits of Vengeance when Roarke gives Danny his power, not realizing Danny will actually use it for good.
• Good Smoking, Evil Smoking : The police try Good Cop, Bad Cop on Johnny and the good cop smokes a cigarette.
• Hellfire : It burns hotter the more sins the target has. This tends to show up as the Rider's penance stare (or as fireballs he can throw). It sears souls.
• Hellish Horse : The previous Ghost Rider's horse is a black horse. Nothing special until the Ghost Rider powers up. Then it's a flaming metal skeleton horse which leaves fiery hoofprints.
• I Am Legion : Blackheart, upon getting what he came for.
• Immune to Bullets : Johnny in his Ghost Rider form.
• Instant Expert : It looks that way, but Johnny knew the Devil would be coming for him from his teens, and has spent the intervening years reading a lot of metaphysical and paranormal books to prepare himself for what he'd become when the Devil called in the marker.
• Instant Knots : The Ghost Rider's chain.
• Just Hit Him : Blackheart seems to prefer pushing Ghost Rider over to punching him, and even pushes Johnny into a church that he obviously wanted to enter. The wind demon, too, does little more than knock Ghost Rider around.
• Large Ham : Nicolas Cage.
• Leitmotif : The Ghost Rider has one, as does Roxanne.
• Laughing Mad : Johnny while turning into the Ghost Rider for the first time.
• The Magic Touch : Johnny's motorcycle and a shotgun.
• In the sequel, most of the Rider's transformations occur at night, but the final action sequence occurs in broad daylight. Although this may possibly be explained by the fact that Blaze's final Ghost Rider form was bestowed to him by Danny instead of the Devil .
• Also much earlier in the film, Johnny is shown trying to take control of the forces possessing him and has some success, and The Caretaker (who delivers the line) is an Unreliable Narrator (and Mephisto is just a liar.)
• Justified by adhering to the very earliest comics, where Johnny only became the Rider at night/in the dark.
• Mind Rape : In addition to being Hellfire , the Penance Stare of the Ghost Rider rips a target's mind open, so as to make them relive the pain they've caused others with every sin they've committed.
• My God, What Have I Done? : Johnny's reaction when he revisits the scene of his rampage the night before.
• Mundane Utility : Johnny Blaze uses his Nigh Invulnerability to... be a great stunt driver.
• Never Say That Again : Blackheart, when asked about Mephistopheles by name.
• Besides being set in the American Southwest, the creators of the movie were intentionally going for a Western feel in several areas, albeit with a supernatural twist. For example, the clothing of Blackheart and his henchman were made similar to traditional Western costumes with an updated look.
• Nitro Boost : What Johnny uses in his Blackhawk Helicopter jump stunt.
• Noble Demon : Johnny-as-Ghost Rider.
• Oblivious Janitor Cut : The eponymous biker rides down the side of a office building, shattering glass windows all the way down, and the janitor, wearing headphones again, doesn't notice the broken glass until after Rider is long gone.
• Ominous Latin Chanting : We hear a gleeful burst of this when Johnny is forced into his first Ghost Rider transformation.
• Absorbing every soul in the town of San Venganza causes Blackheart to be vulnerable to the Penance Stare.
• Johnny Blaze seems to lose his free will as a consequence of selling his soul to the Devil, as he is unable to refuse to become the Ghost Rider, or even to get off his bike when Mephisto doesn't want him to. Once his big mission is complete and his soul restored, though, Blaze has no trouble refusing the Devil's offer to free him of the Rider or in using the powers of the Rider against Mephisto's plans on Earth.
• Souls are the source of free will, and if one makes a Deal with the Devil , they ultimately become a puppet. However , the intent behind the deal can make this more complex: Most specifically, because Johnny "did it for love, to help someone (he) cared about, not for money or fame" "puts God on (his) side."
• This might be a subtle nod to an era in the comics when Johnny Blaze lost the mantle of Ghost Rider, but used a shotgun that could shoot hellfire with what remaining power he had.
• To be more specific: He gave up the powers of the Ghost Rider (By then revealed as a demon called Zarathos, and later realed to not bethe actual Ghost Rider at all (it's a very long story)) willingly in the comics, and actually gained the power to shoot hellfire through a gun when he, believing that the new Ghost Rider was the demon he was originally bonded to (he wasn't), tried to trap him in some kind of mystic circl. The Rider simply gave him a minor pulse of Hellfire. The problem? This jumpstarted Blaze's own ability to channel Hellfire, and turned his gun into a foci through which to use it. Almost killed the Rider while using it initially, too.
• Power Echoes : Upon absorbing all the souls in San Venganza , Blackheart's voice is his voice plus all of theirs .
• Played straight with Moreau in Spirits of Vengeance .
• Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner :
• Promoted Fanboy : Nicolas Cage is a huge Ghost Rider and comic book fanboy , who has wanted to play Ghost Rider since he got into acting. He actually has the Rider tattooed on one arm; they had to cover the tat so he could portray the role.
• Quirky Miniboss Squad : The three elemental demons who work for Blackheart.
• Red Right Hand : The Ghost Rider has a flaming skull . Additionally, one of the first things to happen to Blaze during his initial transformation is that his hands turn red.
• Also the direct basis for the character in the first place. His appearance was too cool to waste on a 1-shot villain, as was originally intended.
• In the anecdotal case, the venue had screwed up so bad that simply setting up equipment broke the floor . And considering that Johnny is an uber-Evel Knievel stunt biker who thinks nothing of jumping six Blackhawk helicopters on a whim , any screw-up at all could turn him into Ludicrous Gibs . So, yeah - specific jelly beans in a specific distribution or he WALKS!
• " GET OVER HERE! "
• Smith Will Suffice :
• Stealth Pun : Carter Slade's mount in Ghost Rider form is an Iron Horse .
• That profession being 'stuntman', not 'guy with flaming skull for a head'.
• Young Johnny bails on running away with Roxanne after he realizes what his Deal with the Devil will turn his life into.
• Years later, Johnny goes to some lengths to get Roxanne to agree to dinner with him. She grudgingly agrees, but this same night is the night Mephisto calls in the marker and forces Johnny to become the Ghost Rider for the first time.
• Super Strength : All over the place.
• Sweetie Graffiti : Young Johnny carves "J & R Forever" into a tree.
• Thememobile : The rider's motorcycle takes on that whole 'flaming demonic skull' motif. To a lesser degree, it's true of the previous Ghost Rider's horse as well.
• Though even that is directly proportional to the amount of senseless pain and suffering they've caused others.
• Touch of Death : Blackheart's preferred method of killing his victims. When he touches you, your skin melts within seconds, leaving behind only a charred skeleton.
• Trademark Favorite Food : Jelly beans.
• Transformation Trauma : Johnny's first transformation into the Ghost Rider is seriously disturbing. The indicators of his condition go from his skin turning red and steaming when wet to his eyes lighting with the fires of hell, to the flesh burning off his skull and hands .
• Under the Sea : Okay, under the river. The police barricade a bridge, so Ghost Rider drives off the bridge into the river. He emerges with his skull and bike still on fire.
• Variable-Length Chain
• Victorious Childhood Friend : Subverted. Roxanne wants to not forgive Johnny, but their love for each other has not been diminished by the years. Only once they get through the events of the movie, she knows they still can't be together because Johnny has sworn to fight Mephisto in revenge for what he did to Barton Blaze.
• Villain Ball : While screwing people that make a Deal with the Devil is pretty standard, it isn't very smart to do it with a prospective Ghost Rider, since the event that starts the plot proves Ghost Riders can in fact ignore the Devil's orders. Given that Mephisto doesn't use Johnny until years later, there was little reason to let his father die immediately.
• Villains Never Lie : Mephisto.
• Villainous BSOD : The effects of the Penance Stare.
• Voice of the Legion
• Almost certainly a Shout-Out to the original Ghost rider concept. He was intended to be a Daredevil villain, but it was just too good of an idea.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness : Blackheart tends to kill anyone who he has finished questioning, and sometimes kills people just for fun .
• Possibly subverted: there is a chance Mephisto didn't kill Johnny's dad, that he would have died in that accident before the cancer could kill him anyway. That's when Johnny realizes he sold his soul for no reason. However, Mephisto did stop Johnny from finishing work on the bikes the night before, and there is a chance he did actually directly have a hand in Barton's death, since he was present at the time.

Film / Ghost Rider (2007)

Edit locked.

Ghost Rider (2007) is a supernatural action film based on the comic book of the same name from Marvel Comics .

Johnny Blaze, the son in a father-son motorcycle stunt team , is in love with Roxanne, the daughter of the richest man in town. After planning to run away with her, Johnny discovers his father is terminally ill with little time left. The Devil (performed by Peter Fonda ) shows up and offers Johnny a Deal with the Devil . Johnny asks the Devil to save his father's life. Miraculously, Barton Blaze is cured of his cancer , but dies immediately afterward in an accident because the Devil wants Johnny freed up.

Realizing what he's just gotten himself into, Johnny takes off and abandons his sweetheart at their meeting place.

Fifteen or twenty years later , we join Johnny ( Nicolas Cage ) on the road. He's now a world-famous stunt cyclist, and repeating the Survival Mantra "you can't live in fear", knowing the Devil hasn't come for him yet, but he keeps living through the increasingly insane stunts he does.

Meanwhile, Blackheart ( Wes Bentley ), son of the Devil, shows up and has decided it's time for the old man to step aside for a new Lord of Hell. He summons three elemental demons to serve him, promising that if they help him defeat the Devil, he'll give them nobility in Hell.

Meanwhile, Roxanne has turned up to interview Johnny after his stunt. Johnny takes this as a sign and asks her out. But the Devil of course picks the night she agrees to give him another chance to call in his marker. Johnny refuses, but cannot resist the power of hell. He transforms into the Ghost Rider and dispatches the first of Blackheart's minibosses. Now Johnny must try to control the power of the Rider, defeat the elemental demons, and Blackheart - all while trying to keep Roxanne out of the line of fire.

The rest of the film plays out like a video game. Meet a mentor . Character Development (such that it is), Boss Fight with one of the minibosses.

Followed by a 2012 sequel, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance .

This film provides examples of:

• Actor Allusion : Mephisto (played by Peter Fonda ) calls Johnny's ride a "nice bike" while eyeing it up and down. The Ghost Rider's motorcycle in this film is a tweaked version of the exact same model Fonda's character rode in the seminal classic Easy Rider .
• Adapted Out : The Blazes never worked at the Quentin Carnival in this version.
• Age Cut : The film starts with young Johnny and Roxanne, then cuts to the adult Johnny.
• All There in the Manual : The novelization ended with an explanation of how Johnny Blaze got off the murder charges, having "some hotshot New York lawyer" make a mockery of the prosecutor's case. Said lawyer was supposed to be Matt Murdock . Which is almost certainly a Shout-Out to the original Ghost Rider concept. He was intended to be a Daredevil villain, but it was just too good of an idea.
• Answers to the Name of God : Roxanne: [on discovering Johnny's manager dead] Jesus! Blackheart : Not even close .
• Assimilation Backfire : Blackheart No Sells Blaze's penance stare power the first time it's used on him since he doesn't have a soul. When he draws the trapped souls of San Venganza into his body in a bid to increase his power, Blaze realizes that he's made himself vulnerable to the stare and uses it to destroy him.
• As the Good Book Says... : Blackheart says the I Am Legion line verbatim.
• Asshole Victim : Anyone the Ghost Rider beats up.
• The Atoner : Both Riders.
• Awesomeness Is Volatile : Implicitly the reason that Ghost Rider's bitchin' hellcycle tears up the road, sets things on fire and sends cars flying.
• Badass Biker : Exactly What It Says on the Tin .
• Badass Longcoat : Carter Slade wears one when he becomes the Ghost Rider, replete with bullet holes through which show flickers of hellfire.
• Body Horror : Johnny's transformation into the Ghost Rider.
• Book Ends : Both of Sam Elliot's monologues at the start and end of the movie begin with "It's said that the West was built on legends."
• Burning Rubber : Ghost Rider's Hell Cycle creates flame on the road it travels, resulting in one long trail of melted tar.
• Call It Karma : The Penance Stare. If you look into GR's eyes while he's within an arm's reach of you, he can force you to experience every iota of pain you've ever inflicted on others without cause in your life. Your average hood just realizes he should go home and rethink his life. A villain will be reduced to a vegetable - unless they don't have a soul .
• Cassandra Truth : Johnny confesses he's the Ghost Rider to Roxanne, but she believes it's just a fear of commitment sort of thing.
• Chain Pain : One that's heated with hellfire, at that.
• Civvie Spandex : Justified in that Johnny is a performance motorcyclist so wears biker gear as his street clothes.
• Colour-Coded for Your Convenience : There's something of an 'orange and blue' theme around Ghost Rider and Blackheart respectively.
• Combat Stilettos : Roxanne is surprisingly good at running in heels.
• Ghost Rider is Johnny Blaze, but the different appearance of Ghost Rider (Chain wrapped around the torso, and the spikey one) is the comic book costume of Danny Ketch (Ghost Rider II). Originally, the chain was exclusive to Danny, who had the spike-bearing costume. When Johnny was brought back for the new comics, he inherited the look. Johnny originally wore stylized black leathers with a high collar and that was it . Also, Johnny's version of Ghost Rider fired blasts of flames while Danny had the Penance Stare. This version has both powers, though the Penance Stare is given more importance by the plot.
• Barton Blaze became the reason why there was a deal with Mephisto, not Johnny's adoptive father, Crash Simpson. (Although there was a mention of Roxanne Simpson's father, who, ironically, didn't approve of her relationship with Blaze.)
• The Caretaker is really Carter Slade (the original Ghost Rider, later renamed Phantom Rider).
• Confessional : Blackheart mockingly confesses to a priest before killing him.
• Confused Bystander Interview : This scene happens with a goth girl ( Rebel Wilson ) who's actually impressed about how well the Ghost Rider pulls off the 'demonic motorcyclist' look.
• Convection, Schmonvection : Justified since it's supernatural fire.
• Cool Bike : The Ghost Rider's flaming bike.
• Cool Horse : The previous Ghost Rider's flaming metal-banded horse .
• Johnny's Deal with the Devil is an odd one. He did it to save his beloved father rather than for personal gain, which is presumably why he is able to control the Ghost Rider's powers so quickly. Johnny also never actually agrees to signing. He cuts himself, bleeds on the contract, and Mephisto considers it sealed. That may actually account for his inability to remove the powers once the contract was complete.
• The main plot item the contract of San Venganza, was the result of basically an entire crapsack city making deals with the Devil.
• Deep South : The film is primarily set in Texas, and appropriately enough, most of the cast have thick accents.
• Detect Evil : Johnny transforms into the Ghost Rider in the presence of evil people. He also has the ability to sense whether a particular person is good or evil (seen when the Rider takes out a bunch of prisoners who attacked him, but declares the only one who didn't participate "Innocent" and leaves him alone).
• Disproportionate Retribution : Averted. By definition, the retribution the Penance Stare inflicts is precisely proportionate to the subject's crimes.
• Drives Like Crazy : Johnny Blaze, both in human and Ghost Rider form.
• Driving Up a Wall : Johnny Blaze's infernal alter-ego escapes police pursuit by riding his motorcycle up the side of a skyscraper, leaving a trail of hellfire and molten glass.
• Elemental Powers : Ghost Rider is Fire . He's pitted against three demons, each with power over a different element: Abigor controls Air , Wallow takes Water , and Gressil has Earth .
• Evil Is Deathly Cold : Blackheart freezes a biker's beer just by being nearby.
• Faustian Rebellion : Johnny does this after the Devil shows up to thank him for living up to his contract.
• Flash Back : Johnny recalls his father fondly when he has to explain why he wants to do a certain stunt in a certain way.
• Flipping the Bird : Ghost Rider does this when he escapes from the police.
• Freakiness Shame / Freaky Is Cool : Roxanne reacts positively to Johnny in the end when she sees him as Ghost Rider.
• Giving Someone the Pointer Finger : Ghost Rider does this a few times before declaring judgement on someone.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom : Blackheart after getting the contract.
• Good Cop/Bad Cop : The police try this on Johnny when he's suspected of murder. It fails because Blaze knows that they are both good guys.
• Good Smoking, Evil Smoking : The police try Good Cop/Bad Cop on Johnny and the good cop smokes a cigarette.
• Helicopter Blender : Johnny dares to risk invoking this with his chopper-jumps-choppers stunt.
• Hellfire : It burns hotter the more sins the target has. This tends to show up as the Rider's Penance Stare (or as fireballs he can throw). It sears souls.
• Hellish Horse : The previous Ghost Rider's horse is a black horse. Nothing special until the Ghost Rider powers up. Then it's a flaming metal skeleton horse which leaves fiery hoofprints.
• Hoist by His Own Petard : A good description of Blackheart's fate; he set out to acquire the power of the contract of San Venganza, but only realised after he got it that this made him vulnerable to the Penance Stare .
• I Am Legion : Blackheart, upon getting what he came for.
• Immune to Bullets : Johnny in his Ghost Rider form.
• In Prison with the Rogues : Johnny gets wrongly accused of murders committed by Blackheart and gets thrown into a shared cell full of multiple thugs. After ganging up on him and beating him up together, Johnny transforms into Ghost Rider and blasts all of them away, steals one guy's jacket, then burns through the bars of the cell to escape prison.
• Instant Expert : It looks that way, but Johnny knew the Devil would be coming for him from since his teens, and has spent the intervening years reading a lot of metaphysical and paranormal books to prepare himself for what he'd become when the Devil called in the marker.
• Instant Knots : The Ghost Rider's chain, but justified as the Ghost Rider can control it by will alone. It even adjusts itself when he wraps it over his chest.
• Ironic Echo : Said to and by Johnny, then Rider: "Nice jacket."
• Jerkass : The punk who wants to beat up Johnny Blaze in jail, because he always bets for Johnny to be killed by his stunts. The punk loses every time, of course.
• Just Hit Him : Blackheart seems to prefer pushing Ghost Rider over to punching him, and even pushes Johnny into a church that he obviously wanted to enter. The wind demon, too, does little more than knock Ghost Rider around.
• Large Ham : Zig-zagged. For the majority of the movie Nicolas Cage plays Johnny Blaze surprisingly straight-laced. But then comes the times when Johnny turns into Ghost Rider and all of that goes out the window .

• Leitmotif : The Ghost Rider has one, as does Roxanne.
• The Magic Touch : Johnny's motorcycle and a shotgun.

• Marquee Alter Ego : How frequently the Rider gives way to Johnny... especially in the big fight scene at the end. Justified by adhering to the very earliest comics, where Johnny only became the Rider at night/in the dark.
• Mind Rape : In addition to being Hellfire , the Penance Stare of the Ghost Rider rips a target's mind open, so as to make them relive the pain they've caused others with every sin they've committed.
• Mundane Utility : Johnny Blaze uses his Nigh-Invulnerability to safely perform difficult stunts.
• My God, What Have I Done? : Johnny's reaction when he revisits the scene of his rampage the night before.
• Mythology Gag : Ghost Rider Driving Up a Wall to escape police pursuit is a nod to the early days of Danny Ketch's version in the comics.
• When the cops and SWAT team riddle Johnny with hundreds of bullets from their pistols and assault rifles, he merely shoots a firewall up between himself and them as if to tell them to back off and don't interfere in his mission. The cops recoil in fear, but all they get for their trouble is some deafened eardrums and left terrified of if they had really made the Ghost Rider angry had he not deemed them innocent because they attacked him out of fear.
• Never Say That Again : Blackheart, when asked about Mephistopheles by name.
• New Old West : The movie tied in an older Western character by the same name (who existed in the comics but was unrelated to the modern character, initially). Besides being set in the American Southwest, the creators of the movie were intentionally going for a Western feel in several areas, albeit with a supernatural twist. For example, the clothing of Blackheart and his henchman were made similar to traditional Western costumes with an updated look.
• Nightmare Face : Blackheart has one aside from his normal face.
• Nitro Boost : What Johnny uses in his Blackhawk Helicopter jump stunt.
• Noble Demon : Johnny-as-Ghost Rider. If he's hurting someone, they absolutely had it coming.
• Blackheart shrugs off the Rider's Penance Stare due to literally having no soul. However, after he claims the Contract of San Venganza and absorbs the damned souls of the town, Johnny says that he now has "A thousand souls to burn" and finishes him off.
• After the Rider takes out Abigor and rides the building back down, the police and the SWAT team riddle him with dozens, if not hundreds of bullets to absolutely no effect.
• Oblivious Janitor Cut : The eponymous biker rides down the side of a office building, shattering glass windows all the way down, and the janitor, wearing headphones again, doesn't notice the broken glass until after Rider is long gone.
• Oh, Crap! : Blackheart essentially has one when Ghost Rider manifests before him and observes that Blackheart now has "a thousand souls to burn", prompting Blackheart to briefly panic before he's subjected to the Stare .
• Ominous Latin Chanting : We hear a gleeful burst of this when Johnny is forced into his first Ghost Rider transformation.
• Absorbing every soul in the town of San Venganza causes Blackheart to be vulnerable to the Penance Stare.
• Johnny Blaze seems to lose his free will as a consequence of selling his soul to the Devil, as he is unable to refuse to become the Ghost Rider, or even to get off his bike when Mephisto doesn't want him to. Once his big mission is complete and his soul restored, though, Blaze has no trouble refusing the Devil's offer to free him of the Rider or in using the powers of the Rider against Mephisto's plans on Earth.
• Souls are the source of free will, and if one makes a Deal with the Devil , they ultimately become a puppet. However , the intent behind the deal can make this more complex: because Johnny "did it for love, to help someone [he] cared about, not for money or fame" "puts God on [his] side."
• Personal Arcade : Appropriately enough, there's an Evel Knievel pinball in Johnny Blaze's apartment.
• Post-Modern Magik : The Ghost Rider of the past hands the current one his shotgun which fires Hellfire (if in the hands of a Ghost Rider). This might be a subtle nod to an era in the comics when Johnny Blaze lost the mantle of Ghost Rider, but used a shotgun that could shoot hellfire with what remaining power he had.
• Power Echoes : Upon absorbing all the souls in San Venganza , Blackheart's voice is his voice plus all of theirs .
• Power Incontinence : Small case, Played for Laughs . Johnny's mere presence is enough to make a policeman's lighter flame flare up.
• Pre Ass Kicking One Liner : To the Wind Demon — "Let's clear the air !" To the Earth Demon — "Hey dirt bag!" To the Water Demon — "Surprise!"
• Quirky Miniboss Squad : The three elemental demons who work for Blackheart.
• Red Right Hand : The Ghost Rider has a flaming skull . Additionally, one of the first things to happen to Blaze during his initial transformation is that his hands turn red.
• Rule of Cool : The reason Johnny took out the cars and instead put in six Blackhawk helicopters? "My dad thought it'd be cool." His manager agrees Johnny's dad was right.
• Scissors Cuts Rock : You might think that the water elemental would be the logical opponent to beat hellfire-powered Ghost Rider. It turns out hellfire beats water.
• Shooting Superman : Happens a lot to the Ghost Rider when he breaks out of prison. One particularly brave cop hits him with a nightstick ; luckily for him, he meets Ghost Rider's standards of innocence and just gets a mocking finger wag after Ghost Rider sticks his jaw back in place.
• That cartoon that Johnny watches in his apartment near the beginning of the film? That's a real thing .
• " GET OVER HERE! ". This one is funny for being a recursive Shout-Out . Scorpion's Flaming Skull and chainblade were confirmed to be shout-outs to Ghost Rider. So we have Ghost Rider making a Shout-Out to character who is a Shout-Out to Ghost Rider.
• As the Riders head to San Venganza, watch for a lizard to burst into flames as they pass, a reference to the biker in the Nicolas Cage film Raising Arizona .
• Southern Gothic Satan : The movie presents both Mephisto and his son Blackheart as Tall, Dark, and Handsome persons in human form (Mephisto also being a Silver Fox ), being the ones who made the deal with Johnny Blaze to eventually become Ghost Rider .
• Stealth Pun : Carter Slade's mount in Ghost Rider form is an Iron Horse . ( Iron Horse is old west/ wild west slang for a train)
• Steven Ulysses Perhero : The guy with the flaming skull is named Johnny Blaze. But since his father had the same profession (stuntman), it may not have been his birth name.
• Young Johnny bails on running away with Roxanne after he realizes what his Deal with the Devil will turn his life into.
• Years later, Johnny goes to some lengths to get Roxanne to agree to dinner with him. She grudgingly agrees, but this same night is the night Mephisto calls in the marker and forces Johnny to become the Ghost Rider for the first time.
• Super-Strength : All over the place. Of particular note is Ghost Rider getting into a tug of war with a helicopter.
• Sweetie Graffiti : Young Johnny carves "J & R Forever" into a tree.
• Taken for Granite : The effect of Ghost Rider's chain on Gressil. He then gets shattered instantly.
• Terrible Trio : There's the demon trio who serve Blackheart: Gressil, Abigor, and Wallow.
• Thememobile : The rider's motorcycle takes on that whole 'flaming demonic skull' motif. To a lesser degree, it's true of the previous Ghost Rider's horse as well.
• Thou Shalt Not Kill : The Rider won't kill humans, though the Penance Stare leaves its victims mentally ravaged . It is directly proportional to the amount of senseless pain and suffering they've caused others.
• Touch of Death : Blackheart's preferred method of killing his victims.
• Trademark Favorite Food : Jelly beans.
• Transformation Trauma : Johnny's first transformation into the Ghost Rider is seriously disturbing. The indicators of his condition go from his skin turning red and steaming when wet to his eyes lighting with the fires of hell, to the flesh burning off his skull and hands .
• Troll : The Rider is clearly enjoying (nonlethally) fucking with the cops trying to stop him, at one point just outright cackling at the look of shock on a jerk detective's face when the Rider's able to evade a roadblock by just driving onto the water.
• Tsundere : Roxanne, whose precise feelings for Johnny seem to vary every other scene.
• Under the Sea : Okay, under the river. The police barricade a bridge, so Ghost Rider drives off the bridge into the river. He emerges with his skull and bike still on fire.
• Variable-Length Chain : Johnny's main weapon, due to being imbued with Hellfire.
• Victorious Childhood Friend : Subverted. Roxanne wants to not forgive Johnny, but their love for each other has not been diminished by the years. Only once they get through the events of the movie, she knows they still can't be together because Johnny has sworn to fight Mephisto in revenge for what he did to Barton Blaze.
• Villain Ball : While screwing people that make a Deal with the Devil is pretty standard, it isn't very smart to do it with a prospective Ghost Rider, since the event that starts the plot proves Ghost Riders can in fact ignore the Devil's orders. Given that Mephisto doesn't use Johnny until years later, there was little reason to let his father die immediately.
• Villains Never Lie : Mephisto.
• Villains Want Mercy : Gressil the earth elemental Gressil: Have mercy. Ghost Rider: Sorry, all out of mercy.
• Villainous BSoD : The effects of the Penance Stare.
• Voice of the Legion : Blackheart gets this once he absorbs the souls from San Venganza.
• Walk on Water : Or drive on it, rather.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness : Blackheart tends to kill anyone who he has finished questioning, and sometimes kills people just for fun .
• You Killed My Father : Johnny says this outright to the Devil, and it's his reason for not giving up the Ghost Rider powers after he's fulfilled his end of the bargain.

Ghost Rider ( 2007 )

14 questions.

Directed by: Mark Steven Johnson

Starring: Nicolas Cage , Sam Elliott , Eva Mendes , Matt Long

Genres: Action , Drama , Fantasy , Thriller

Question : How long does Ghost Rider 's penance stare work for?

Answer: The movie doesn't show how long the effects of the Penance Stare last. I have Morbius #1, in which Ghost Rider uses his Penance Stare on Morbius, who recovers from it relatively quickly. I don't know definitively because I haven't read very many Ghost Rider comics, but the duration of the effects could vary depending on how much remorse the person already felt for their past sins, or how much their own super powers allow them to recover from it. From what I understand, the Penance Stare doesn't work on the Punisher, as he feels no remorse for the people he's killed. It also had no effect on Deadpool, as his greatest victim is himself and it actually caused Ghost Rider to revert to his human form when he tried it on Deadpool.

Phaneron ★

Answer: It depends on the person. The penance stare is used to torture the victim into reliving every bit of mean and sinful behaviour in their life time. So if the victim is older and committed more sinful acts, it will last longer than say a 20 year old who hasn't committed that many acts.

Ssiscool ★

Question : What is the make and model of the motorcycle that Johnny Blaze rides?

Answer: If you're talking about during his performances, it's a 2000 Buell X1 Lightning. He's also seen on a Harley-Davidson Sportster, I believe, when jumping through the ring of fire. If you're talking about his other bike, it's a Harley-Davidson Panhead.

Sorry. I should have been more specific as I'm not familiar with motorcycles. The one that turns into the HellCycle.

The HD Panhead is what turns into the Hell Cycle. But the Hell Cycle itself was a custom made piece, built from the ground up, but modeled after the Panhead. So there's no specific make and model, that I know of, for the custom made Hell Cycle itself.

Question : What song is playing when Johnny Blaze undergoes his first transformation into the Ghost Rider ?

Answer: "The West was build on Legends", by Christopher Young, from the movie's score.

Question : I'm just curious, if Blackheart wanted that contract so bad and didn't want to wait too long for it, then why did he want that hidden water guy to slow Johnny down or kill him? Did he just want an excuse to kill Roxanne or what? Please explain, thank you.

Answer: The Ghost Rider only appears at night and as Carter Slade told Johnny to "stick to the shadows" because during the daytime, Johnny stays human. By having Wallow slowing him down, he's guaranteeing that by the time Johnny finally reaches him, the sun will eventually rise and then Black Heart can kill him.

Question : The trivia page on IMDB says Nicolas Cage 's hairpiece took three hours to apply every day. If this is true, why would it take three hours to apply a hairpiece? Don't they just use adhesive to bond it to the skin? And why would they apply it everyday instead of having him wear it for the duration of the shoot and adjusting it as needed?

Answer: You are right to question the unattributed trivia blurbs on IMDB. The truth is more likely that the hair took 3 hours to apply only on the first day. After that, about 20 minutes max to reapply and touch up as part of the overall makeup process. The goal is optimize the actor's appearance for that day's scenes and lighting, given that the post production colorization will also hide a lot. The hairpiece would be attached with a temporary glue and it's unlikely that the actor would wear the hairpiece home because it's uncomfortable and looks fake.

Question : What are the limits of the Ghost Rider 's Strength?

Answer: The Ghost Rider possesses superhuman strength sufficient to lift up to 25 tons. http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Johnathon_Blaze_ (Earth-616).

Question : When the Ghost Rider uses the Penance Stare on the thief and Blackheart, why are the visions warped and disturbing?

Movie Lover

Chosen answer: To make them both suffer the pain they have inflicted on their victims.

Rydersriot87

Question : How fast can the Hellcycle go?

Answer: It is never stated in the film, nor comic.

MasterOfAll

Question : I saw this movie in the theaters and then rented it on DVD when it came out. There are a few scenes missing from the DVD, most noticeably where Barton Blaze tells Johnny about the helicopter jump and where Blackheart and the Hidden attack the grave keeper. Any idea why this happened?

Answer: Those scenes were never in the theatrical version and were only on the Director's Cut DVD.

Brad ★

Question : When Ghost Rider uses the Penance Stare on Blackheart, how come he only saw the evil that Blackheart had done and not the ones that the 1000 souls committed?

Answer: He should have. This is a mistake.

Question : Who built the Ghost Rider bike?

Answer: There are several stories behind it. Read about them at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Rider_(comics).

Question : How were the vocal effects for the Ghost Rider done?

Answer: Ghost Rider 's voice was manipulated by sound designer Dane Davis. Davis filtered Cage's line readings through three different kinds of animal growls that were played backwards and covered separate frequencies. Davis then amplified the dialogue through a mechanical volumizer.

Question : So what was so important about those specific 1000 souls in the contract?

Answer: It wasn't the souls themselves, it was the fact that there were so many on a single contract. By stealing it, the ghost rider robbed Mephistopholes of not one, but one-*thousand* souls.

Phixius ★

Question : The Caretaker tells Johnny that St. Michael threw some angels out of heaven and that they were called the Hidden. Why where they thrown out of heaven and how did they become the Hidden?

Answer: They were thrown out of heaven for siding with Lucifer when he tried to overthrow God. They were called the hidden because the could hide within the elements.

More for Ghost Rider

Revealing mistake : In the day following the Rider's first ride, Cage shows up at the street that has been burned down the center. A person very close to the beginning of that scene walks on the broken up rocks and it moves as if it were a pad or a sponge. It wasn't a rock moving because the street moves with the rock. It happens a couple of times during that scene.

Johnny Blaze : I'm fine. I feel like my skull is on fire, but I'm good.

Trivia : The bike Johnny rides is a modern version of the one Peter Fonda (the devil in this movie) rides in Easy Rider , ironically named the " Captain America ." He even says to Johnny "nice bike."

Game starts with player's character sliding down the fire pole to grab the jetpack instead of smashing the wall. As such, Free Ride gadget is unusable in the event. Scientists are semi-transparent and circled purple, resembling ghosts, while Missiles are replaced with green slime beams.

Similar to the Halloween Event , after player uses a revive, character changes clothing to Mooglie (Which cannot be accessed during the event otherwise) and would ride on Mr. Cuddles with the Ghost Train skin.

The objective is to collect "No-Ghosts Signs", which rewards with 10 Ghostbusters-themed items.

On November 20, 2021, the Event was rerun with new items based on recently released Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie.
