Ghost Rider (film)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Acceptable Targets: The overweight goth woman Johnny saved from an attacker; her interview was played for laughs the next night, and not so much because she was describing a man whose head was on fire.
  • Adaptation Displacement
  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: When footage from the next movie was released at Comic-Con, fans took solace in the fact that it looks deliciously insane.
  • Anticlimax Boss: Roarke at the end of Spirit of Vengeance. Justified by his Power Degeneration.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Moreau in the second film.
    • Nadya as well. Her entire story is perhaps the only good thing about the second film.
  • Fridge Brilliance: Idris Elba playing a guardian warrior monk.
    • Why is the Rider so incredibly psychotic in the second film? Johnny's been keeping him locked away. He hasn't had any fun in a long time, and suddenly he's been given carte blanche to do whatever it takes to find Danny. Let the slaughter begin!
    • The Rider's line in the first trailer released on-line also shows that in addition to being completely out there in terms of his brutality, he also has a disturbed sense of humor when he defeats one of the mooks.
