The weatherman is a good albeit odd one.

Yes that one too. The trailer for it is what introduced me as a child to Iggy Pop. Like a stone...

He relieves himself and sprays fire! Hopefully haslab will make a flame stream to go with this!

Lord of War is quite good and I love the opening to the film where we see everything from the viewpoint of a bullet.

The Rock is utterly amazing and Cage's best film ever.

After that is hands down Willy's Wonderland from last year. OH my god, if you guys have never seen it and are horror fans, you must do so.

I was disappointied with Color Out of Space, but that's because the movie really rushed the story to happen over the course of a few days whereas the original tale was spread across a year. I just felt like the effects being slow made it much scarier.

Trying to push out a Haslab of Johnny when most ML fans already own a version of him would be worse.

[Killerzeestoys]

There's a couple bike GR figures out already, Robbie would be the obvious go to.. but I don't see why they wouldn't include the other Riders since Galactus is technically 4 figures.

[Designincase]

Let's be honest, if it's a Ghostrider Vehicle. It needs to come with that Ghostrider and then the tiers needs to be an improved pinless version of Johnny/Danny/Robbie. If all Tiers are reached, a backer should have those three Ghostriders.

It's like Silver Surfer not being a Tier in the Galactus Haslab. It needs to feel like a complete package.

Willy's Wonderland was fun too and I agree about Color Out of Space. But I'm still happy to have that movie in my collection.

Cage in the Rock/face-off/conair Era is still my favorite!

Easily his best, IMHO.

I would go with Pig myself. He's more restrained, but he seems like he could explode at any minute. Also that scene where he takes down that restaurant chef is pretty brutal. Actually his character was almost a metaphor for Mount Hood.

Blimey, given the opening lyrics to one of his songs from 1995 based on stuff he got up to in the 70s, that made me cringe a bit.

I have zero recollection of Cage in that movie at all. lol.

Anyways I dunno. I'm not a big fan of Cage but his 90s action hero self got the job done alright. Thankfully we were spared him as Superman though.

My guess is, this is going to be the mother of all Ghost Rider offerings:

1. Danny Ketch
2. Johnny Blaze
3. Robbie Reyes

And ALL of their respective vehicles. 300 bucks. Stretch goals being Blackheart, Mephisto, and...Blackout?

How about Vengeance?

Yeap. He played the part twice. Ghost Rider came out in 2007 and the sequel Spirit of Vengeance came out in 2012.

I have the Toybiz Johnny Blaze Legends figure already and Blackheart too. How about a Danny Ketch?

That seems like a relatively large period between knowing the first one wasn't well liked but going ahead with a sequel anyways.

[snake5289]

What made no sense to me is that the beginning of the second movie pretty much retcons everything about the first movie so why is it still a sequel with Cage playing him? Should've gone the Punisher War Zone route of it being a completely separate movie.

It was a reboot with the same actor. It abandoned the whole origin story from the first film. Though Ghostrider looked better.

They made Danny Ketch a little kid with Johnny the substitute dad........It had some nice bits but doesn't work as an interesting movie.

Featured in some school scenes as one of Brad's buds, and some early scenes in All American Burger. Pretty much a glorified extra (might have had more scenes that were cut). Thought this was a fun way to close the circle after seeing 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent'.

Eh. The origin animation intro is inconsistent with the one in the first movie largely because they had a different crew working on the film. The substance of the origin is relatively the same and there's a bit explaining why Mesphisto is played by a different actor in Spirit of Vengeance than in the first film.

Not sure it retcons the first film, the animated intro sequence presents the origins story in a way that contradicts how it was shown in the first film. The origin is still Johnny Blaze making a deal with the devil to save his dying dad for selfish reasons and his dad still died turning him into Ghost Rider. Also, there's an entire bit explaining why Mephisto is played by a different actor in the second film.

[Designincase]

The first film shows us the origin of Cage's Johnny Blaze. Who he made a deal with. Why he made the deal. The consequences of the deal. Then the film ends with him accepting the Ghostrider and promising to use it against the guy.

Now the changes in the 2nd film was required because everyone else sans Cage turned the film down. So it had to become a reboot.

I don't remember the bit about them explaining the face change. Just maybe a line about the devil wearing different faces.

But it's like Dracula 2000 and it's two direct to video sequels which negate the first film.

Point is it failed really hard which is one of the reasons why Marvel decided to form a movie studio.

It's an entire animated sequence about how the Devil's body dies over a period of time and that he needs to get a new form in order to keep walking outside of hell. I haven't been able to find it on YouTube, but I know it's in the movie.

It's like Superman Returns in the sense that it's unclear whether it's a reboot or sequel to previous films. It has a bit of an identity crisis.

Yeah. I will say the Ghost Rider movies came out when Marvel had formed its studio. I guess the revenue from previous blunders like Man-Thing and Elektra lead to Marvel Entertainment establishing Marvel Studios in 2006. Ghost Rider was just the end of that disastrous era for Marvel.

Hot dog! Someone else remembers a Man-Thing movie exists.
