Mistakes
After the Ghost Rider escapes from jail, he is shown pulling his chain whip off of his bike and wrapping it around his torso. As he lifts his leg to mount the bike, the section of chain near his right hip can be seen to pass through his jacket, revealing that it is a CGI chain, not a real one. See more...

Matt Long (young Johnny Blaze) used a prosthetic nose to look more like Nicholas Cage. (Stated in commentary).
The bike Johnny rides is a modern version of the one Peter Fonda (the devil in this movie) rides in Easy Rider, ironically named the "Captain America." He even says to Johnny "nice bike."
Peter Fonda in both "Ghost Rider" and "Wild Hogs" makes reference, albeit subtly, to his character in "Easy Rider." Nicholas Cage parodies his dream sequence in "Raising Arizona" where his evil side is riding through the desert on a motorcycle, and shoots a lizard off a rock by the side of the road.
When Johnny Blaze is on the roof as the Ghost Rider, he throws the chain at the helicopter, and pulls it towards him in a straight line. When he does this, he says "Come here...you're pissing me off." This is a reference to the character Scorpion from the Mortal Kombat game. Scorpion throws a harpoon the same way in the game, and says "get over here" when he does so. Also, Scorpion's finishing move in the game shows him removing his mask to reveal a flaming skull head, just like Ghost Rider.
Nicolas Cage has a tattoo in real life of the Ghost Rider. Ironically, it had to be covered with make up during filming of this movie.
