Goofs

When Moreau has the tires on his bike shot out and falls off the cliff, he shoots a P90 at the car, with the ejected rounds flying out of the side of the gun. In reality, the rounds eject out of the bottom of the gun, not the side.

Quotes

Moreau: The day of prophecy is tomorrow. We were to hold the boy until the danger passes.
Methodius: The danger will not pass, Moreau. As long as the boy exists, the power will always be inside him.
Moreau: You lied to me. You lied to me!
Methodius: This child must be destroyed.
Nadya: No! No!
Methodius: You might have protested while the child was being conceived. Now it is too late.

User Reviews

Such a promising subject such a disappointment

The ghost rider has the potential to be one of the coolest and most successful franchises today,Ghost rider is so iconic and so much can be done with him,the problem is morons are making the films.

The film has several styles that never really gell,It tries humor but fails,Halfway though the movie it literally starts making fun of itself..and its not funny.I felt like they were saying haha we got your money.

The over used Prophecy child theme,The fish eye 1970's lens used to death and poor effect..the home computer cgi..

If you rent this one day in redbox you'll want your dollar back,If i ever see the director I'll ask for my money back and shame him for taking something that could be so cool and just dropping the ball,he should be banned from making films for 2 years for this one.

I hope one day someone with imagination and talent takes on a ghost rider film and finally does it justice.
