Ghost Rider - Now on DVD - Page 2

I didn't think the Spawn movie that bad, actually. Sure the CGI was awful on the eyes but the makeup was a plus and at least the story made some sense.

Leguizamo acted pretty much like Clown from the first issues of Spawn; eating maggot-covered pizza and acting like a dirty slob. He wasn't really supposed to be funny, just maniacal and gross.

Yet I, too, didn't care for the Malebolgia dialogue. I would have preferred Clancy Brown to do the devil's voice instead.

But the little things I think really ruined it, besides the CGI, were the casting of D.B. Sweeney as Terry and the way Priest died.

CGI, right, I remember the effects being pretty bad. But there is one kickass scene: The part where Spawn jumps through the window and his cpae flattering in that awesome way. That was a sort of "Whoa..."-scene.

Indeed. As were the scenes where he walked through the fire and stood on a high building and squatted atop a chapel.

To bring this back around to Ghost Rider, I hope that Nic Cage does a good job in the lead role as Michael Jai White did as Al Simmons/Spawn.

Been reading up on it. Apparantly there's gonna be a scene where Ghost Rider faces a tidal wave but keeps burning under water. Apparantly, he's also going to use a shotgun. They didn't *say* it was going to shoot Hellfire, but I have a feeling that it will (as a reference to his days as Blaze in the second Ghost Rider volume).

Then there's hackneyed dialogue like "I'm too old for this sh1t". Yep. Never heard THAT one before. Real clever.

Nothing was better then the dialog between The Clown and Spawn in the HBO series
Spawn: "Get away from me before I introduce your face to your colon, permanently"
The Clown: "I love it when you talk dirty"

hear is some info of the teaser trailer and on the characters

full linkhere

It starts out showing Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze preparing to jump a line of trucks on a motorcycle at a football field. Intercut with it are scenes of Mendes interviewing Blaze before the stunt for TV. Then, of course, things turn dark. We see various shots of Peter Fonda as Mephisto, Wes Bentley as Blackheart, and a variety of other bad guys with sharp teeth. Sam Elliot is also shown mentoring Johnny Blaze. In one amusing scene, Elliot asks Blaze if he's alright. Blaze responds, "I'm fine but I feel like my skull's on fire." That line got laughs from the audience. Other memorable scenes include a shot of Johnny stumbling along as fire seems form on his feet. The teaser concludes with a shot of a motorcycle cop clocking with a radar gun at the Texas state line. As Ghost Rider approaches, the radar clocks him at 999 mph, then the cop is blown away as the Spirit of Vengeance passes. Ghost Rider himself was never really shown and a brief glimpse given amid a bunch of quick shots was just test footage used for this temporary teaser.

Johnson followed the teaser with a Q&A with Mendes and Arad. He mentioned that they wrapped shooting a few weeks ago. Talking about the Ghost Rider's abilities, he said he will fight with a chain, a hellfire gun, his Penance Stare, and more. He also mentioned that Ghost Rider's flames change with his emotions. When he's enraged, it blazes white hot like a "mane" on him. When he's sad, it is toned down and turns blue. The fire certainly sounds like it reflects the character. As the talk progressed, a young fan asked where they got their cool Ghost Rider hats. Mendes responded by giving the kid her own hat. (Johnson then joked that the rest of the fans would be admiring the rest of her wardrobe hoping to get her to take it off and give it to them.)

Johnson mentioned that Blackheart is the main villain and he's a rebel angel that was thrown out of heaven along with the Devil. For this story, the lore is that rebel angels fell all over the earth when cast out of heaven, now they are 'elemental demons'. It is Ghost Rider, as the bounty hunter for the Devil, who rounds up these rogue demons. Another young fan admired Eva Mendes and asked about her character's name. Mendes said she nicknamed the character 'Roxy' to which the kid responded that Roxy was 'foxy'. Mendes laughed and told him to come back in 10 years. Johnson, when asked what Ghost Rider's wheels would be like, responded that they would be solid wheels covered in fire rather than pure flames like in the comic. The solid wheels gave the bike more weight while the purely flame wheels made it look like the bike was floating.

Sounds promising. Like the Hellfire shotgun; nice reference to Blaze during the Danny Ketch era.

As for the tidal wave thing, that could very well be a reference to "The All-New Ghost Rider" back in the 70's (after he teamed up with the Champions) when he fought the Water Wizard.

Ghost Rider: the Road to Damnation #1 by Garth Ennis came out today.

God DAMN is this book beautiful! Holy crap!

It's mostly just a set-up for the arc and a retelling of Johnny's origin, but at least it's freakin gorgeous. Johnny's currently trapped in Hell, being tortured for all eternity. A couple angels plan on freeing him so that he can prevent an end-of-the-world crisis and they won't wind up in Hell, themselves, as they're the ones who accidentilly triggered this problem (or one of them is, anyway).

Doesn't look like Ennis has any plans to fix Ghost Rider's shattered continuity. Let's just hope that if he gets an on-going after this someone will come by and do fans that favor.

Well, that was already thrown out the window a few years ago.

Danny Ketch died in the last issue of Volume 2 (which was supposed to be the second-to-last issue but Marvel got cheap). Nobel Kale became the new King of Hell at the end of the issue once he defeated Black Heart witht he help of Vengeance.

Then some moron writing for Peter Parker: Spider-Man had to go and ruin it all. In PP #93 Noble Kale shows up and is apparantly having a mental breakdown. He goes nuts and starts setting New York on fire until Danny Ketch shows up (alive...somehow) and they recombine. That's the last time we ever see Danny/Noble Kale again. Hell got a new ruler after that, too.

Hammer Lane then came along and royally screwed up Johnny's continuity to further the problems.

Ghost Rider is just one big ole headache.
