I always thought not using Slade in action was a wasted opportunity. Good film though. Him and Blaze side by side only for Slade to just toss Blaze his side arm for the final shot. Make the scene feel more like an old western flick. Given Sam Elliott's film history.
I grew up a huge Ghost Rider fan and was obsessed with collecting his every comic book appearance. I even got the entire run of the The Champions, a team to which GR belonged. The Ghost Rider comic was cancelled my junior year in high school, but because I had one of the coolest college professors ever, she allowed me to write my senior thesis as a 6-issue script entitled "Return of the Ghost Rider". So when the movie came out, my friends were eager to hear my feedback. I told them, "It may not have been MY Ghost Rider. But I could believe it was Ghost Rider."

He wasn't going for 3 fallen angels, he was looking for a contract that an entire town had signed their souls over so he could be more powerful than Mephisto. The three elementals that help Blackheart are basically angels that are henchmen to him.
Mephistopheles' son Blackheart comes to Earth and seeks aid from the Hidden (three fallen angels bonded with the elements of air, earth, and water) to find the lost contract of San Venganza.
Craig Ferguson, former host of The Late Late Show, has mentioned that his robot skeleton sidekick Geoff Peterson was inspired by Cage's portrayal of Ghost Rider in this film and its sequel.
I know this Vid is about Ghost Rider, but I caught myself singing Duran Duran's A View To A Kill sporadically through... Awesome Poster in the backgroud!!
Ghost Rider is definitely one of the best underrated movies ever made. Sam Elliott makes any movie awesome. And hey Minty, when we going to get a 10 things we didn't know about Minty episode?
FILMED IN MY SUBBURB HOME OF NEWPOERT/WILLAISMTOWN! AND CITY!!!! I still currently reside 150 meters from those train yards and would play in them as a kid GREAT VID!!!
I unironically enjoy movies with Nicolas Cage. He's always all in without any compromises or holding anything back and I admire that. This world would be a duller place without him.
Me too. I don’t agree with the common consensus that he is “so bad he’s good.” I just think he’s a very good actor. Eccentric, for sure, but that just adds to the unique nature of his performances.
His best work was when he was not so full of himself. His productions of late have been too cheeky and overblown. Cage, you're nothing special, so knock it off.
I agree I actually thought Nicolas Cage did a Wonderful Job as Ghost Rider yah there are other actors that would have fit well as Ghost Rider too, but I thought he had good sense of humor, he’s really charismatic, & I thought he stole the show as Ghost Rider, & I’m a Fan Of Nicolas Cage I Love a Lot Of his Movies, he seems like a really Nice & Cool Guy In Interviews, & he doesn’t deserve the hate he receives as an Actor cause he is one of the Best Actors working today IMO
My granddaughter and I absolutely loved this movie. Having Sam Elliot and Peter Fonda (Nice Bike) was icing on the flaming cake. As for the critics, I don't think they enjoy living and hate movies that are actually fun to watch and munch on popcorn.
Roy Thomas, when he worked at Marvel under Stan Lee, was nicked named by Lee as Roy "The Boy" Thomas. Stan Lee had nicknames for everyone working at Marvel, but there was only one "King", Jack Kirby.
I recently rewatched this with my kids. I saw it originally in the theatres and didn’t like it at all. I think it was the comedic tone. This time though I absolutely loved it. I agree with you - every frame with ghost rider in the shot is a painting!
You should check out the movie "Drive Angry". It's a fun little homage to grindhouse cinema where Nick Cage plays a dead man who is resurrected and goes on a road trip to save a baby from a cultist's ritual. It's a little similar to Ghost Rider, but Drive Angry has more of a cartoony B movie vibe to it.
I am aware. I think I make the connection for a couple of reasons. First, Johnny Blaze has had to escape from Hell a couple of times in the comics. Also, Nic Cage plays characters in both who have names that are derivations of John - Johnny Blaze in GR, John Milton in DA. Lastly, the vibe of Drive Angry, with its similar road-centric, supernatural western feel, just feels in line with the GR movies to me.
Fun fact, the sequence of the "last ride" was based on a painting done by famous motorcycle artist David Mann of a biker riding next to a ghost cowboy across the desert.
Always wished to see Scarecrow as villain.... Ebenizer Laughton makes Jonathan Crane/DC Scarecrow a teddy bear if compared with his Dc "Twin"... Ebenizer is a ripper, that eat fear making a slaughter with the bodies of their victims that he calls "gifts that needs to be open" when he talks with his dead mother in his mind.. He is also virtually immortal thanks to an experiment some did on him...
Ghost-Rider is my favourite Marvel character, so I went to the first screening of this movie and loved it. So, naturally I own this movie (and the sequel) on DVD. Btw, some of the pictures you showed of Nic Cage in the face-paint were actually from that sequel.
I love Cage and went to see the film because of him. I had never heard of the comic book before the film. I wish the movie had done better at the box office, so we could have gotten a Sam Elliott lead western. I think seeing Sam tearing through the old west on a flaming horse would have been AWESOME!!!
My inner teenager is torn between this and _Blade_ being the greatest superhero movies of all time. ( _Punisher_ with Thomas Jane and Travolta fills out the podium)
Minty knows his movies!!!!! Wish I can give him a list of my fav films to cover but that is so self serving :) So happy to just see what is coming cause Minty seems like he grew up right next to me (Melbourne kids!) watching all the crazy flicks while growing up!
Great video Minty, but your description of the film is mistaken. Ghost Rider is an Angel of Justice pulled down to hell and tortured to insanity by the devil. Blackheart is after the contract of San maganza. And he becomes a merging of Blackheart and the souls of the contract thus making him vulnerable to Ghost Rider’s penance stair. Also there is nothing strange about the Punisher staring Thomas Jane and John Travolta. It actually the best movie version of the character.
The Thomas Jane Punisher wasn't a movie, it was a very long episode of Friends. The One With Frank Castle. The only good thing about it was the fight with the Russian. It tried too hard to make the character sympathetic and pulled back on the violence.
@@tenzhitihsien888 Have you read the early Punisher comics? Thomas Jane played him pretty close to spot on with those. The later comics took away a lot of his emotions.
I first saw this film and learned of the character, when i was in about 10th grade, back in 2010/11. My best friend and I thought it was metal as hell and were so excited about the sequel in 2012. Rest in Peace, brother.
Hell yeah! Love Ghost Rider and thought the movie was pretty badass. Love the first transformation sequence and the one of him riding up & down the side of that building. Pure comic splash page goodness, lol.
I have likely seen this movie thousands of times because of @GhostRiderCash 🙃 My kid developed a weird obsession with skulls and skeletons before they were a year old. I remembered there being a comic about a flaming skull and had the bright idea to show it to him. So when he was about 4 years old and had been hyper focused on all things Ghost Rider for about a year, this movie came out. Still remember hearing him freak out in the other room, running in because I thought something was wrong and one of those Geico commercials were on TV. That’s how we learned about the movie, those goofy insurance commercials. Can’t imagine what he was thinking, sitting there watching the Simpsons or something and all of a sudden a “real live” Ghost Rider was on tv 😂
My dad had the movie and I developed a fascination to Ghost Rider wanting to be like him. I later developed a love for motorcycles and um... well you're kinda dumb (innocent) as a kid and believe all things were real and yea I tried to find "real" spells to turn me into ghost rider and another time a werewolf. I still remember during summer, my mom was on the porch drinking and on the phone and I went out under my bedroom window sitting in the moonlight chanting my "spells" heh. But hey. It worked, I like dog food haha jk jk. But yea, because of dad I started loving skulls too and motorcycles. And one year he got me the ghost rider game for ps2. I never got to finish it, but lucky emulators are a thing and now I got the game again.
@@MandaMalice haha cute, yea when I first was allowed on RUclips I stumbled on people doing "real" spells and there was all kinds. Werewolves, vampires, a ghost rider one and etc. And I was in middle school and yea, I thought they were real and tried it haha the werewolf you were suppose to draw a figure of you and then what you wanted to look like as a werewolf and you had to draw a pentagram and write the spell and go outside on a full moon and chant it like 3 or 4 times. I'm surprised my mom never heard me question me... but however went I got into the heath ledgers joker and later I got into impact wrestling cause of my cousins, I liked Sting and decided to paint my face like him... uh ma thought I was turning into an emo and going down a bad path
@@mizfit4479 I asked them!!! They said they didn’t try spells to turn themselves into Ghost Rider BUT into a cat 🙃 I actually remember that and he cried when I explained to him it wouldn’t work. As a former “weird kid” and feel like they only thing harder than growing up the weird kid, is being the parent of one. I wouldn’t let my kids have games like Doom because of what it meant to my generation. Made zero sense to my kids but it felt like I was protecting them.
Mark Steven Johnson has that same sort of directing style as Stephen Sommers, where the final product is probably not gonna win any awards, but it'll make you smile, and possible remind you of being a kid. They both get into that 'child-like' sense of adventure and ridiculous action. Like, Johnny driving down the side of a building- I'd be lying if I said I never imagined something like that, as a kid on my bike.
Minty should do a Top 10 Things You Didn't Know About on either Tarzan (1999), Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Treasure Planet (2002) or Shrek (2001).
We love you Minty! Been watching ur awsome vids for years, u never fail to entertain and inform us and u just get better and better, Keep up the great work my friend. All the best bro☺
It’s so funny how things happen so close to each other: I’ve been thinking about this movie a lot lately and also have been recently rewatching some of Minty’s Top 10 things videos. Then this gets released. Coincidence?
I’ve always had Great Time Watching Ghost Rider Films, I Saw them both when I I was 5 years old, I saw the 1st film 1st on DVD, Loved It, & I Saw Ghost Rider 2 in theaters in 2012 with my dad & I also had a Blast watching it, I’m 17 years old Today In 2023, I still Love them I seen them like 6 or 7 times LOL
Hey Minty, there's actually another connection to the movie "Easy Rider" that you neglected to mention Johnny's motorcycle prior to it's transformation into the Hell Bike, was modeled after Peter Fonda's motorcycle, Captain America in Easy Rider Which lead to the line by Peter Fonda's line of "Nice Bike" being something of an inside joke
You know I've been warned to comment this for a while now. I think one of the main reason why I like your channel besides the Great videos you do, is fact that you don't do any stupid ads shoutouts in your videos at all.
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel I ❤️ this video and channel Thanks you for your video and channel Love yourself first and most Believe in yourself Quitters never win and winners never quit Don't give up and never give in Ignore those who try to discourage you Hang on to your dreams Take care of yourself Take control of own destiny Keep moving forward Stand up for yourself Speak up for yourself Stay strong Stand tall and be brave Act of kindness people
Visually the GR scenes are amazing. Seeing the bike slowly come out from the pool on fire is badass. The plot is paper thin but by now Marvel were not willing to take chances like with Blade and make it an R rated movie which would have likely suited it better. 10 years ago we were all hoping and praying for Marvel to get the rights back, but with the current lackluster output the Cage GR movies might turn out to be the better ones lol.
Ghost riders one of those films where I love it, unironically, it’s a movie I loved since I was a little boy, aswell as raimi’s Spider-Man, two movies that are insanely nostalgic to me to this day.
Good video, Minty! My niece and I like the Ghost Rider movies a lot. The religious tie ins are interesting. Nicolas Cage is great. I like the jailbreak transformation scene the best. Kind of reminds you like the Hulk in that scene. I would have nightmares forever if I seen that. Lol. I am glad you explained the Cowboy Ghostrider. I did not understand it when I first saw this movie. It explains a lot. Like passing the torch so to speak. Amazing action movie. Ghost Rider keeps showing up from time to time in movies too. He had a cameo in an animated Hulk cartoon series one time. Take care.
so glad you finally did this movie minty as you siad it was underappreciated and overlooked superhero movie now the second one not so much but wouldn't mind you looking at it too
The Punisher was produced by Lionsgate. However Columbia Pictures did distribute the movie internationally except for the Middle East and Southeast Asia where it was distributed by Summit Entertainment.
The hate was mostly directed at the second film. I was a Personal Assistant to Mr. Elba during production, and as soon as his casting was announced he started receiving many write-ups talking about how he was completely miscast & was not a good enough actor for the movie. 😞
I remember my first time watching this. Me and my cousin got dropped off for the movie. I remember being kind of disappointed because of how short the battles were, and feeling like they didn’t show enough “Ghost Rider” … My cousin thought it was one of the coolest movies ever. Lol. We were 7 years in age difference. But, the whole ride home was basically me hating it and him loving it. Time passes way to quickly.
i saw both Ghost Rider movies in the theater back in the day ... and while the sequel was a fun time i felt that it didnt quite have the same magic of the first ... and i want them so badly to reboot the Ghost Rider franchise -- with Nic Cage of course (Disney can do R-Rated dark super-hero content they just dont want to because they feel this need to be 'family friendly'
I like the sequence of Sam Elliott's Rider riding along side Nic Cage's Rider was awesome, but I was upset he didn't stay to help.
Yeah top scene
Yes! I loved the Horse
I always thought not using Slade in action was a wasted opportunity. Good film though. Him and Blaze side by side only for Slade to just toss Blaze his side arm for the final shot. Make the scene feel more like an old western flick. Given Sam Elliott's film history.
Nah, that scene was corny as hell.
Or in today's vernacular,
Cringy,AF!!!!
He was possibly to weak to fight as also to pass the torch to Blaze as his successor. Just my opinion though.
Nicolas Cage and Sam Elliot's "one last ride" scene gives me goosebumps.
"Let's ride!"

I cannot believe it has been 16 years since this has came out
Thanks for the nostalgia Minty
15 or 16 years depends on the month I was 16 or 17 when it came out I was a grown man in 2007 so 2007 don't seem like a long time to me
2007 was not a long time ago that's like yesterday least to me I was a grown ass man even in that year 16 to 17 heading off to college soon
It's been awhile since Minty covered a movie from the 2000s. And it's from one of my guilty pleasures.
Nice. 🔥

I enjoyed this movie in the theater. Then I walked out and promptly forgot about it. Still, great video. Very informative. Thanks.
I’ve always had Great Time Watching Ghost Rider Films, I Saw them both when I I was 5 years old, I saw the 1st film 1st on DVD, Loved It, & I Saw Ghost Rider 2 in theaters in 2012 with my dad & I also had a Blast watching it, I’m 17 years old Today In 2023, I still Love them I seen them like 6 or 7 times LOL
Hey Minty, there's actually another connection to the movie "Easy Rider" that you neglected to mention
Johnny's motorcycle prior to it's transformation into the Hell Bike, was modeled after Peter Fonda's motorcycle, Captain America in Easy Rider
Which lead to the line by Peter Fonda's line of "Nice Bike" being something of an inside joke
the best, best, best!!!! thank you minty!!! ❤️🔥🏍💀🔥
'Ghost Raiders in the Sky' is the ultimate cow-boy song. My favourite cover is the Johnny Cash's one.
You know I've been warned to comment this for a while now. I think one of the main reason why I like your channel besides the Great videos you do, is fact that you don't do any stupid ads shoutouts in your videos at all.
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel

Visually the GR scenes are amazing. Seeing the bike slowly come out from the pool on fire is badass. The plot is paper thin but by now Marvel were not willing to take chances like with Blade and make it an R rated movie which would have likely suited it better. 10 years ago we were all hoping and praying for Marvel to get the rights back, but with the current lackluster output the Cage GR movies might turn out to be the better ones lol.
My favorite Marvel superhero paired with one of my favorite movie RUclipsrs? Excellent! 🔥💀🔥
Thanks Minty for Another Awsome Factual vid x Hope to see more of you in 2023 x
Ghost rider is one of my favorite marvel movies!
I absolutely love the 2004 Punisher movie! Great vid as always
Ghost riders one of those films where I love it, unironically, it’s a movie I loved since I was a little boy, aswell as raimi’s Spider-Man, two movies that are insanely nostalgic to me to this day.
I remember when BOTH Ghost Rider comics were released. I wasn't obsessed with the character, but I did grab each comic when they were released.
Im totally with you on this film i actually quite enjoyed it when it came out and never understood the hate/dislike towards it
Thank you, Minty. You nailed it pretty good. I had been a fan since the 90's when it was Danny Ketch (Blaze's brother) rocking the skull.
I like your reviews, Minty! Will look for my Ghostrider DVD soon. And perhaps should visit Melbourne sometimes...
I really hope ghost rider comes back in like a action/horror marvel movie set in the Wild West
Good video, Minty! My niece and I like the Ghost Rider movies a lot. The religious tie ins are interesting. Nicolas Cage is great. I like the jailbreak transformation scene the best. Kind of reminds you like the Hulk in that scene. I would have nightmares forever if I seen that. Lol. I am glad you explained the Cowboy Ghostrider. I did not understand it when I first saw this movie. It explains a lot. Like passing the torch so to speak. Amazing action movie. Ghost Rider keeps showing up from time to time in movies too. He had a cameo in an animated Hulk cartoon series one time. Take care.
Let's be honest here, Nick Cage was puuuuurfect for this role, I can hardly picture anyone else being the flaming skull!!! 👍🏻🖤
Love it brother. I feel the exact way you do about the movie! Thanks brother!💪😎
so glad you finally did this movie minty as you siad it was underappreciated and overlooked superhero movie now the second one not so much but wouldn't mind you looking at it too
Nicolas cage is absolutely my favorite actor and I think 8mm is a very underrated moive he was outstanding in it and no one talks about it
The Punisher was produced by Lionsgate. However Columbia Pictures did distribute the movie internationally except for the Middle East and Southeast Asia where it was distributed by Summit Entertainment.
I really enjoyed this flic and could not imagine it without Nic being totally “Caged Out”!
I don't care what anyone says. Those Ghost Rider films with Nick Cage are great fun 👍🏻❤️🔥
Absolutely ! 👍🔥
I actually really enjoyed this movie!! As Minty said, I also don't know why it got so much hate, but it is enjoyable!!
The hate was mostly directed at the second film. I was a Personal Assistant to Mr. Elba during production, and as soon as his casting was announced he started receiving many write-ups talking about how he was completely miscast & was not a good enough actor for the movie. 😞
For me I watch Ghost Rider over & over again to see Wes Bentley ! 💞🥰💞
I put this movie in the same category as Spawn, I love both comics, movies should have been hard R rating and darker. Thx Minty!!
I remember my first time watching this.
Me and my cousin got dropped off for the movie. I remember being kind of disappointed because of how short the battles were, and feeling like they didn’t show enough “Ghost Rider” …
My cousin thought it was one of the coolest movies ever. Lol. We were 7 years in age difference.
But, the whole ride home was basically me hating it and him loving it.
Time passes way to quickly.

A good movie about one of the standout best 70's marvel comics 👌 😍
i saw both Ghost Rider movies in the theater back in the day ... and while the sequel was a fun time i felt that it didnt quite have the same magic of the first ... and i want them so badly to reboot the Ghost Rider franchise -- with Nic Cage of course (Disney can do R-Rated dark super-hero content they just dont want to because they feel this need to be 'family friendly'
Ghost rider will always be in my top comic movies!
Your right Minty great wallpaper stuff to capture.
