Synopsis:

When the motorcyclist Johnny Blaze finds that his father Barton Blaze has terminal cancer, he accepts a pact with Mephistopheles, giving his soul for the health of his beloved father. But the devil deceives him, and Barton dies in a motorcycle accident during an exhibition. Johnny leaves the carnival, his town, his friends, and his girlfriend Roxanne. Many years later, Johnny Blaze becomes a famous motorcyclist, who risks his life in his shows, and he meets Roxanne again, now a television reporter. However, Mephistopheles proposes Johnny to release his contract if he become the "Ghost Rider" and defeat his evil son Blackheart, who wants to possess one thousand evil souls and transform hell on Earth.


Intentions:

With renewed interest in Ghost Rider as a result of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., I wanted to revisit the films. I wanted to re-imagine them more in line with the MCU, with the obligatory Post-Credits scene, and Stan Lee cameo. There is also a cameo by the creator of Ghost Rider, Gary Friedrich, see if you can spot it.



Change List:

As this was my first fanedit, I didn't keep a change log, but basically here are the major changes.. -Re-cut all exposition into flashback scenes. -Color-corrected and darkened the overall visual tone (maybe too much). -Added reverb to Wes Bentley's voice to make it more 'demon-like', as he wasn't very intimidating. -Cut out most of the stupid jokes...Good-bye magic eightball! -Added some swearing, to make it more adult. This is a story about servants of hell -Attempted to add gravity to the death of his best friend by adding in a shot of his corpse, but not sure how effective it was.


Additional Notes:

Overall, this movie is still not great. It was tonally all over the place, but hopefully you will enjoy this cut more than the original. You can check it out on my blog (www.cmew-fanedits.blogspot.com/2017/03/ghost-rider-marvel-cut.html)
