Seriously, this trailer for the second, totally unnecessary Ghost Rider movie looks surprisingly fun up until that scene at the very end. I was totally down with it, with Nic Cage using his chain to flip cars, his skull vomiting fire, that awesome camera shot off the cliff... and then Ghost Rider has to piss all over it, both metaphorically and literally. Sigh. Still, three or four awesome scenes and one obnoxiously awful scene would still put it significantly ahead of the phenomenally mediocre first film, so maybe it'll end up okay. Someone get this damn movie a shot of penicillin and let's move on.

He took a piss of fire to ruin a trailer for you? How high are your expectations? Wgaf.
-
Although, to be fair, the directors do actually introduce this trailer.
-
Directors intro: Boring and horrible joke. Use of Nic Cage again: I didn't like the choice in the first, nor will I in the second. Should have went with an unknown. Pissing joke: Dumb as "Hell"... I mean, if it was bad enough that the Director could use it.... Special Effects: Decent to good. Comedic kid/him: Boring This is soooo going to be a movie network watch.
-
I would absolutely watch Ghost Rider and his amazing flamethrower penis.
-
The thought of a flaming golden shower makes me snicker.
-
It also doesn't look like he's pissing, but rather laying down a swath of flame with something more external. I mean, unless Nic/Ghost Rider has a dong the size of a shotgun sprouting from his waist...
-
It's Wang Fire, the terrible, terrible, std from the Avatar-verse, where your penis randomly firebends. And by terrible, I of course mean awesome and terrible to behold. The only STD to be sought out, all fear the might of the Fire nation's infected fire bending, pants destroying erections.
-
love the way nick as ghost rider is using the chain plus the bike is still impressive. not to mention love the kid asking what if you have to pee if your on fire. for even super hero' s sometime have to answer natures call almost want to see the film just for the answere about peeing while on fire
-
Well it has been 30 seconds, I guess it is time for another bullshit comic movie.
-
Considering that this is basically Crank 3, why isn't Ghost Rider being played by Jason Statham?
-
My 10 year old son thought that part was "gross but cool" and that is why it's in there...
-
That line, more than even the pee-pee joke, reveals that this film was made for 11-year-olds. Because only grade schoolers haven't heard "You SHOULD be." a million times before. Seriously, who writes shit like that and pats himself on the back? Yeah, "himself". A hundred bucks says a woman didn't write that. Unless it was Diablo Cody. I can totally see her writing that AND the piss scene.
-
Fitchner was so good, he made Nic Cage not suck the life out of the movie in ht scenes they had together. Sadly, they weren't in that many scenes together.
-
Fitchner as The Accountant was the best part of Drive Angry. Especially the Propane Truck scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UcoYRIaz5c
-
The pissing shot actually looks like something made for the trailer, given the fact that there's literally no background. And aside from that shot, it looks like hella fun. Get it? "Hella fun?" Cause Ghost Rider is from hell? Nevermind.
-
But I heard Stan Lee's close to making a deal with R. Kelly for a terrible new animated series...
-
Oh look! One of directors actually used "helluva time" as a pun with a straight face! That's certainly encouraging. Ooo! And a demonic biker who spits bullets back like Bugs Bunny. And was that a hellfire-soaked crane I just saw? Ghost Rider 2: Extreme Home Makeover!! And the piece de resistance, our intrepid hero showing us he's proudly into watersports (R. Kelly will be the first in line). Clearly this film is a marked improvement over the not-at-all-fucking-insulting-epic that was the last one. I mean what could possibly go wrong in cranking up the ham quotient to 11 and doubling down on the fecal waterslide quality of the first film?
-
That trailer's inspired me to write a story about Ghostrider for Fan Fiction Friday. Or maybe (hopefully) not.
-
I think we all feel a little burned by humorous pissing in action movies. I think if it weren't for the bumblebee oil leak we wouldn't be as concerned. Personally I think it's funny and could be hilarious if presented well. I am more concerned about why there is a young kid asking him about the rider. I hope it's not a "throw a kid in it to appeal to wider market" thing. I guess it shouldn't be based on all the violence. unless the trailer is misleading in the violence department.
-
In the long gap between the lines I was really hoping they came up with something else. "Then you're an idiot" "Then you're going to die"
-
I loved how Serious the directors were at the opening. It was like This Is Serious Business! with their delivery.
-
This really reminds of Aaron's run with tongue and cheekedness of the trailer even the pissing thing.
-
I agree. But hot damn that looks sweet!
-
You lost me when it pissed flames. Never use a dick joke to sell me a movie.
-
Ghost Rider just looks more bad ass in this one. But if its called Spirit of Vengeance then they should have had VENGEANCE in it
-
hahah what std is it when it burns when you pee?
-
Say what you will, but most people can only say they wouldn't piss on their enemies if they were on fire. Ghost Rider can honestly say his enemies wouldn't be on fire if he didn't piss on them.
-
The jaw looks unhinged, doesn't it?
-
IAWTC. Ghost Rider can piss whatever he wants on whomever he wants.
-
Pissing criticism aside, I'm digging the new half-melted clothes/bike they are going for this time better than the more cliché gothic biker/chromed chopper from the first movie. Also, seeing "the Rider" in broad desert sun light seems much more terror-movie-like than only at night time. Don't know why exactly. The music helps...
-
I was thinking only about Marvel characters who already featured in previous movies, but man, I'm so with you there.
-
This movie looks horrible.
-
I think a fetish porn site needs to spring up to address this fresh new exploration of burning watersports.
-
Marvel beach party movie, like the 60's beach blanket bingo movies. That could be retro cool now right?
-
hahah, totally, i bet it's not CGI at all and mr cage really needs some super penicillin
-
and the openening scene should be set at moon knight's funeral, because he's lame AND a batman ripoff.
-
I know, but that´s probably the movie opening too
-
directors have jack-all to do with the trailers.
-
I can handle the idea of a flaming skeleton man on a Harley punishing evildoers with his huge chain, its the concept of actual adults thinking making Ghost Rider pee fire was something that should be filmed I'm struggling with.
-
Trailer: "I'm not afraid of you." Me: "He's going to say, 'You should be.'" Trailer: "You should be."
-
This is not a Marvel/Disney studios film
-
Hey you never know? It could be good?
-
I'd be all over this if William Fichtner was in it too.
-
Did Rob embed the wrong video? I did not see the "three or four awesome scenes" that were promised. :(
-
OK, I don't have a problem with the Pee Stream From Hell... but am I the only one who thinks that the Skull Head doesn't look menacing when the mouth's open? Seriously, it's looking a little "Army of Darkness"-esque where you expect a funny voice to come out of it. If you're going to CGI a flaming skull atop Nicolas Cage, can you not make it look more menacing and less like a comedy prop?
-
And Elektra...
-
They should make a Dark Avengers movie and put the Punisher, Ghost Rider, Blade, War Machine and Venon in it.
-
"Punisher: War Zone" is fucking awesome...
-
Pretty sure I saw Blackout in there at 1:38
-
Good superhero movies come out during the summer, not Feb. Shows the studio has very little hope for it.
-
I maybe shouldn't have or maybe I'm getting less cynical or I don't give a shit anymore, but when he pissed fire I laughed my as off.
-
Actually, I have to agree - I can barely understand him in the clips. Kid : What if you have to pee while you're on fire? Cage : Grawrflxsrngs.
-
I liked the first GR too. You knew going into it with Nic Cage what you're going to get - over the top CAMP! I don't mean to disrespect Ghost Rider fans, but having never read the comic, I didn't get too worked up about whether it was accurate or not and just enjoyed the ride (pun intended). Yeah, I didn't really care one way or another about the villains but with a character as ambiguous as GR in the first place, I didn't care. GR is hero and villian all roled into one.
-
I know I'm in the minority here, and feel free to hold this against me, but I LOVED the first one and am excited about this one as well. And yet, I agree with Rob about the last scene.
-
I saw a flaming crane, and that was enough to seel me on this one. Of course, i kind of enjoyed the first one, but whatever.
-
They should've recasted and put Chris Evans in the role.
-
Wow. The 1:10 "ghost crane". I really liked Aaron´s Ghost Rider and I´m very excited to see Danny Ketch. But let´s face it, it´s going to be awful. A good director would never include the "He fought the curse" opening as his trailer. Just read that first sentence. It´s horrendous. xD
-
I am absolutely looking forward to a ghost rider flaming shower fff. somebody get on that now!
-
If you are referring to X-Men as the second 'period' film then that was done by Fox, not Marvel Studios.
-
I was not prepared... not prepared for just how dreadful that final scene was. I was almost curious but I just totally clocked out there. Next there'll be a scene where someone asks him about how does he eat and then cue a shot of him eating a sandwich... THAT'S ON FIRE!
-
Marvel has now done two period superhero films, both of which were critically well-received and were box office successes. Which makes me continue to wish that they'd opted for a Ghost Rider prequel instead, set in the Old West. Because the 60 seconds of flaming-skulled Sam Elliott atop a galloping skeleton horse (while 'Ghost Riders in the Sky' played in the background) was the best single minute of the first film.
-
Actually, Rob... a screencap of that firepissing might meet your pic request from this week's FFF.
-
The new film isn't a sequel. It's just a new Ghost Rider film by the guys who made Crank and Crank 2. I'm sure plenty of cameras got destroyed again!
-
Ya, I always felt the same. I liked the movie overall. Not enough to run out and purchase or watch again, I was entertained for its entire length though.
-
IMDB lists Blackout (I assume the second one) and "the devil" as being in this. Now, isn't Mephisto commonly referred to as the Marvel Universe's version of the devil? Wasn't he in the first movie? I'm confused.
-
What's wrong with putting a balding 47 year old as a rebellious youth in a motorcycle who sometimes becomes skeleton on fire?
-
Considering it's against a black background, I'm inclined to think that was a trailer-only scene. I can imagine the kid asking the question is part of the movie, but I can see the directors going "We should totally make a scene of him pissing fire!"
-
I had no idea they were even working on a second one, and now this trailer suddenly out of nowhere. It does look pretty fun though compared to the first one, looks like he gets to let loose a bit more with his powers.
-
As much as I hate to admit it, it looks like it could be decent. Of course, I did say the same thing about the original...even with my trepidations towards Nic Cage.
-
We got a Ghost Rider sequel and Daredevil, which was ACTUALLY GOOD (... in the director's cut, at least...) is toxic. Stupid fucking Fox for thinking anyone would want to see an Elektra movie....
-
Agreed. The pissing shot is great. No other marvel super hero pisses on evil doers!
-
This looks awesome! I cant wait.
-
already the rider looks 100x better, so I think CGI was addressed.
-
After Captain America, I'm actually willing to give it a chance. I didn't think that one was going to be good.
-
I agree, if it'st just to piss or used for comedy ala bumblebee, than bad move. But if as you said it's more of a I spi... I mean piss on your grave, then excellent.
-
I think the idea behind this film is that it's going to be a lot more in-line with the recent Punisher movie. Basically a lot of killing and over-the-top action and absurd B-Movie crazyness. Kind of playing to Nic Cage's strength. Should be BETTER than the first movie if not a decent rental. As for the pissing thing, it clearly looked like it was made JUST for the trailer (aside from the in-movie dialogue) so really... What's the issue?
-
Depends on why he's doing it (which isn't shown). If he's doing it to show his absolute disdain of his enemies, then awesome. If he's doing it because he needs to relieve himself before the final battle, or randomly while riding down the road then...
-
looks pretty cool. hopefully it'll have an actually worthy villain to face off against flamehead. i could've overlooked quite a bit about the previous movie if it had had a villain who was worth a shit, character-wise and fighting wise.
-
As long as Nic Cage is in the Marvel Universe I sleep better at night. But why not switch him to Namor? That feels like the right level of hilarity.
-
The villians were my beef too. I may be in the minority of kinda liking the first GR.
-
He may want to see a doctor about that!
-
It looks infinitely better than the first one but i have been betrayed waaay too often by Mr. Cage to really give a shit. The biggest flaw with the first film was the weak-ass villains and and the horrible cgi. That should be the first thing they fix or else there is no point at all.
-
They had they "Marvel Knights" logo ahead of "Punisher: War Zone" too, IIRC. (Marvel Knights' <i>Howard the Duck</i> is what <i>I'm</i> waiting for, personally.)
-
I'll take fire piss and ridiculousness over how seriously the last movie took water demons and other crap no one cared about.
-
Anyone else excited by the Marvel Knights logo at the beginning?No? hmm. Well, guess I'll just sit here and pray that this movie is watchable. oops, not the beginning so much as the middle, my bad.
-
While Nic Cage shouldn't be the rider, I have to disagree with the pissing thing. It's so over the top you have the appreciate the Idontgiveafuckness of this.
-
Nic Cage should NOT be Ghost Rider.
