Entry I saw this movie in the theaters and then rented it on DVD when it came out. There are a few scenes missing from the DVD, most noticeably where Barton Blaze tells Johnny about the helicopter jump and where Blackheart and the Hidden attack the grave keeper. Any idea why this happened? [Those scenes were never in the theatrical version and were only on the Director's Cut DVD.]
Entry When Ghost Rider uses the Penance Stare on Blackheart, how come he only saw the evil that Blackheart had done and not the ones that the 1000 souls committed? [He should have. This is a mistake.]
Entry Who built the Ghost Rider bike? [There are several stories behind it. Read about them at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Rider_(comics).]
Entry What are the limits of the Ghost Rider's Strength? [According to Marvel, the Rider is capable of lifting weights up to about five tons.]
Entry How were the vocal effects for the Ghost Rider done? [Ghost Rider's voice was manipulated by sound designer Dane Davis. Davis filtered Cage's line readings through three different kinds of animal growls that were played backwards and covered separate frequencies. Davis then amplified the dialogue through a mechanical volumizer.]
Entry So what was so important about those specific 1000 souls in the contract? [It wasn't the souls themselves, it was the fact that there were so many on a single contract. By stealing it, the ghost rider robbed Mephistopholes of not one, but one-*thousand* souls.]
Entry The Caretaker tells Johnny that St. Michael threw some angels out of heaven and that they were called the Hidden. Why where they thrown out of heaven and how did they become the Hidden? [They were thrown out of heaven for siding with Lucifer when he tried to overthrow God. They were called the hidden because the could hide within the elements.]
