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.
Now i want a jellybean martini
Why did Nic Cage licked the lid of a beer can ? 🤔
@@ballsofsalsa01 Are you talking about Mom and Dad?
@@unconcernedcitizen4092 yeah
Amazing lol
These movies have a special place in my heart.
Same here. I would always watch them with my dad when I was just a little kiddo. :)
As they do in mine
same, it was the only movie my man, dad and me watched and liked
Same
One of my favorite Marvel movies in terms of Nostalgia. I like it tbh.
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
Yeah, the demon he's bonded to is like no 2 or 3 in hell's hierarchy
Blackheart was fodder, and his minions even more so
That’s why he’s so hard to portray, it takes really good writing to get such an OP character and give him credible threats.
Lmao fr ghost rider was able to tank Thor’s attacks like they were nothing in one comic.
@@alexman378 maybe they could focus on Johnny living with Zarathos, like a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde situation
@@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.
Dude that moment where his voice goes from manic human screams straight to a demonic roar is the coolest part of the scene to me.
Without nick cages terrible/amazing performance, I don’t think this movie would have a cult following
They don't have a cult following. 500 people liking a bad movie isn't a "cult following".
Didn’t think I’d see you here. You right though.
@@DeadlyDanDaMan a cult following is by definition a SMALL and dedicated fan base. Not sure why a fan base of 500 doesn’t fit that.
@@DeadlyDanDaMan describes definition of cult following
@@DeadlyDanDaMan that literally what it is
Wait these are Bad Movies... I Loved Ghost Rider as a Kid, I mean hes literally on fire and has a motorcycle
The two main things we need to love a character, yes
@@dr.downvote did i mention he has a fire chain
Even as a kid I could tell both of these movies were bad, though the first one is actually pretty entertaining. The 2nd one is extremely boring tho.
I liked the first one but I really disliked the second.
@@bullymaguire9156 why do people dislike the second? The action and stunts are so much better
something that makes the water bad guy even funnier: the "water" is probably lube. water usually doesnt stick or looks good in movies, so they often use lube as replacement. :)))
That is both funnier and more sad at the same time
Oh that is hilarious
Lube man
Why does he have to be evil? He'd be all the rage at the right ... orgies. I guess. What a waste of a power if it's lube!
Just imagine…
„So you’ll be the water bad guy”
„And I’ll be covered in water…. right?”
„… uhm”
„Oh god fucking dammit lube again?”
„Yes.”
„Shit.”
i think the first movie, while rough, is still a good movie at the core. The second one, while ramping up the effects and CGI, has a pretty poor story and essentially retconns EVERYTHING established in the first film, and then itself gets retconned again by Agents of Shield.
Still, a reboot of the ghost rider done by a competent team would make my year.
These ghost Rider movies are not Canon to the mcu
@@mickeymouse7726 Neither are the Blade or the X-Men movies, and those are fun as well.
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.
@@mickeymouse7726 In a post-Endgame world, not being a part of the MCU is a compliment.
@@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.
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.
Alchohol gives him nightmares
That is such a Nic Cage thing to do.
hes a sober person. any movies hes in that would have smoking or drinking is replaced with candy or soda or whatver
@@zyourzgrandzmaz except for drive angry
@I'm a rock. cage is a masterclass gentleman. He literally lives in a castle with crystal skulls and dinosaur skeletons in it.
Nicolas Cage was perfect for the role
Yes
He is perfect for any role
Nicolas Cage is *Perfect* for every Role
exactly he brings so much life to it
Yes
When Nic Cage commits to a role, he *really* commits. And he was a Ghost Rider fan long before there was a film planned, so this may be the most committed he's ever been to a role.
As much as I'd love to see GR back on screen, this is one of those cases where an actor owns a role so thoroughly that I can't think of anyone who could be a satisfying replacement.
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
I loved nic cage before I even saw these movies but GR just made me love both the character and the actor
@@MH-zg5yw If that's true then I've got another Marvel movie to watch just because of a reprisal
yes.
same with wolverine
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
Holy yap I ain't reading all that, but cool frog
@anonymous-wx8ly I'm gonna touch you inappropriately

Don't threaten me with a good time
"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.
Also. The very same monster was looking right at her.
Yeah, even though he makes a lot of valid points, this guy tries just a little too hard to be funny in some places
also they both wear leather clothes
Exactly, i was thinking about that.. Glad you pointed it out..
@@persey7241 Yeah definitely true
I await the day where Elvis is so popular as a Cage reviewer that Cage himself agrees to stand still in the background and make puns for an episode.
I dont think Elvis heart would be able to bear such happyness lmao
You joke, but that is actually some shit that Cage would probably agree to do. Elvis should ask him.
when he has to pay taxes again he might do it for 100 dollars
It wouldn't surprise me if that happened, Nick Cage seems enjoy doing dumb stuff
I REALLY want this to happen..
SO BAD.
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.
Because it is an unbelievable situation and he just makes it feel real. The best damn actor I reckon.
@@werebilbyj4449 yeah I love how in most roles he plays he puts like 110% in to the role, even if it’s a bad movie.
@@werebilbyj4449 The idea is that's the spirit of vengeance finally coming out. Nic is in pain but it's the ghost rider laughing.
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
@@erickelly6810 that could be true. I personally think it’s both.
The reason why the decay guy can eat a Twinkie is because he was holding plastic and we all know that plastic takes years to decay
Genius.never thought of that
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?
exactly what I was thinking when I watched it
@@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.
His "I was never afraid of you." line to Ghost Rider just before he got kicked off the car and get "roadkilled" is the biggest indicator to his character.
Dude just doesn't give a fuck, other than to live in the moment.
Stoner dude from forest here. 👈
I went to Romania to shoot that scene with the van. Still one of my coolest memories!
sjukt att hitta legenden från min barndom i ett kommentarsfält i 2021, minns dina gamla cod videos från typ 8-10 år sen. tack för alla minnen!
Wow cool, i'm from Romania myself :D
I watched the second film specifically for your cameo. Ah good memories.
@@notyourdaddude1957 thats cool
Ok that caught me off guard haha, nice you liked it here
Question: "How did Johnny not die by the touch of decay?"
Answer: "He's as durable as a twinkie"
Oh he’s immortal nothing could kill him except weapons from heaven
@@jonnyfunny8213 He’s not immortal,he’s just a bitch to kill without heavenly weapons,so unless you have holy weapons,you good sir,are fucked
I'm a little late but this was funny
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
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.
two words:
lets ride
So true I loved it as a kid and still do
Nah man these movies are still classic to this day, they're fuckin sick
I kinda wish they'd have Nic Cage as the actor, if they ever get Ghost Rider in the MCU.
How do I block a commenter
@@themanbehindtheslaughter2678 no
@@strawbrykitkat Understood, thank you for the information very informative.
wouldn't they go for the ghostrider they already have from agents of shield
@@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 forgot so much of this… this is bringing back so many childhood memories, haha
Didn't expect to see One Topic on this channel. Imma call Click and update him on your location.
Clicky is coming for ya.
R U N
Me too I haven't watched one of these in years the second one is even more obscure
well shit, hi adoptive dad
OT!
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
Knowing ghost riders sick sense of humor he probably did but he already knew who he's killing first
@@GEMLESS01 true
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
@@nickng98 if they bring him back they need to bring back his sick humor
@John Christian Sabalza Fucking genius 👏
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.
That’s his entire career, good and bad hes always entertaining. Hes amazing
Love Nic Cage so much for every single thing he's in, recently (kinda) especially Mandy
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
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.
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.
You must not be very observant
@@Hexaheim or i simply didn't care to check it out, jeez
Flaming skull killing people is just enough
@@croissant2882 Then check it out fool
I like how he has a tattoo of ghost rider, so when he did the movie they had to edit that out
One thing! Just one thing! Please tell IT to me: WHY tf do I have so many fans even though no RUclipsr is unprettier than I am? WORLDWIDE!!!! WHY??? Tell me, dear nick
But i Love you 😂😍
That's boss
@@AxxLAfriku hi axxl
@@AxxLAfriku been a while since I've seen you
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.
_"He may take my soul, but he can’t take my spirit!"_

Metal Gear Rising energy right there
A soul and spirit are 2 very different things you should brush up on your English my friend
@@Hexaheim we get what the line is supposed to mean, but it's incredibly corny
@@roelin360 Isn’t everything nowadays?
@@Hexaheim It depends on what you're choosing to look for and watch
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 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.
I thought it seemed like Elvis was in a child car seat in the front seat, coz they face backwards. And he was throwing a little kid tantrum
Lol
Pro tip: don't play chicken with the Ghost Rider!
The giant crane wheel scene in the sequel was so unnecessarily badass, i love it
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
Im still going with Spawn as my favorite looking edgy guilty pleasure
FYI Mephistopheles is the name of the devil’s right hand man in “Doctor Faustus”, an old English play in which the doc sells his soul to the devil
It’s German, not Old English.
@@terriblycharismaticduck2717 christopher marlowe is british and wrote the play, but the source material is german
@@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.
I personally unironically like the ghost rider movies, tho they do be hilarious sometimes!
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
“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!”
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.

@@primitivvve9117 oh ok
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.
Wow that’s cool
Oh wow
No joke, for like a solid 8 years of my life i had NO idea spirit of vengeace was a sequel
I can’t stop looking at that picture of young Johny Cage, his eyes are enchanting
Like ...what happened? He pulled a Brandon Fraser. Id have a shallow crush in him in high school. Ive never seen him look like that in his movies
Fun fact, my young dad looks identical
@@moxiemaxie3543 lmaoo yeah don’t know what happened, but I guess aging doesn’t like Nick as much as Elvis
@@adenshalala3514 I hope your older dad doesn’t look like older Nick Cage
@@filipbauer2912 nope. Looks way more Lebanese
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
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 😭
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.
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’m someone who kinda digs Thomas Jane punisher
I agree so much. Lol. I loved all 3 so much.
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.
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.
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.
YESSSS
@@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.
I agree, i want to see a Brendan Fraser movie being reviewed, one of my favorite actors since i was a kid.
I will proudly say, that for majority of my teenage years, this was my favorite film. One of my favourite Nicholas Cage movies 😂
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!"
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
his nick cage videos are always the best because he's legit in love with him
it's so funny
NICHOLAS CAGE RENAISSANCE
Yes ☺️
Yes
Nic is attractive lol
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.”
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
"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
@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.
Unfortunately amber Heard is in it so extremely hard to watch these days
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.
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
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.
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
12:20 This is my new greatest example of brainstorm/ green needle
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.
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 RUclips 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" :)
BionicPig: has a bunch of different characters that he hates and keep breaking into his house!
Elvis: Nicolas Cage!
23:00 I do have a possible explanation for why GR didn't feed on Roxanne. In the comics, she is supposedly "pure of heart" and Satan can't collect his soul as long as she loves him. I assume this could also be expanded to mean she is innocent of sin. His origin is just slightly different in the comics but it still doesn't really explain why this makes any kind of sense. 70s man...
This is a masterpiece and i dont know why people would ever call it bad
I love both ghost rider movies
The first one was perfect
…masterpiece? That’s a strong word man
@@princegobi5992eople can have their own opinions, even if they're partly wrong.
@@cRoberts2010 yeah, people literally can, I like to share mine as well.
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"*
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 😂
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.
I wonder why they made that decision, it’s not like it was remarkably different than the first one. All they did was confuse people lol
Wait, that was supposed to be a remake? Shit, it's so bad that it only made me enjoy the first film even more
@@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
Yeah, I didn't watch it but from the clips, I don't imagine enjoying it like I do the first movie.
@@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.
Elvis how dare you insinuate that a person could like monkeys "too much"
Yeah, there’s no such thing as liking monkeys too much 😜
Monkey powah
@@GreaseLightning02 My son, have you ever heard of something called AIDS?
I remember being absolutely heartbroken when I realised that the ghost rider was in fact the bad guy/anti-hero 😭😭
I feel like if Elvis met Nicolas Cage in real life, he would act like a 13 year old at a Justin Bieber concert when he was 16
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
That Deadpan delivery of "He should make love to the puddle man" killed me.
Let's be honest, movies like these are the reason some need an actual "so bad it goes full circle into being good" rating button
Not gonna lie, that's a pretty good voice impersonation of Nic Cage.
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!
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.
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
"He has a huge problem with procrastination. He wastes so much time killing these men" could be a summary of Hamlet
We all love it when Elvis covers movies that has Nicholas Cage in it because let's face it. We all love it when that cardboard can talk back to him!
Ralph the movie maker has a Cage-O-Thon
Ngl it was super weird hearing Elvis call Mephisto "Mephistopheles" the whole time. So formal
I was about to loose it.
@@Realisticmind307 me too
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
I don't care what anyone says, but seeing Nicholas Cage and Sam Elliott ride through a desert is the most badass thing ever
You might say killing Blackheart’s henchmen was “Super easy, barely an inconvenience.”
Pitch meeting references are TIGHT
"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..."
What? I mean Hostess is still in business here in Canada.
@@brookhall8957 I think they came back at a later date.
Due to being partially deaf in both ears when I was little, I remember hearing roxanne as "rock sand" until he carved it into the tree 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
As a german, i thought the same 🤷🏼♀️
@@truewickedkittenASMR thank god I'm not the only one!
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
I grew up watching this series with my dad. Although I look back now and the movies were terrible, they give me so much nostalgia.
Why do so many people keep saying they're terrible. I've seen both of them several times. There's nothing wrong with them.
@@jackgray2419 personally I just feel like it could’ve been done better
"sorry, all out of mercy" is the most iconic line from these movies, dont @ me
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.
If they make a reboot of ghost rider then don't have Nicholas cage then they should try to get Norman redus to be ghost rider
Why Norman Reedus? Seems kind of a random pick.
@@Happyfoam-lw3yt he can ride a motorcycle and is cool
Directed by Guillermo del Toro, following in the steps of Blade 2, Hellboy and Pacific Rim?
Cage isn’t actually ripped in the movie, that scene of him topless was actually enhanced so he could have a better body 😂😂
Stop lying hater
@@zerdaloo nah he’s right
@@zerdaloo it’s true actually
I CAN HAVE DREAMS YOU KNOW
I refuse to believe this blatant lie
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?
Now that the Multiverse is open for Marvel, they should really bring Nic Cage back as Ghost Rider.
