Other mistake: As Johnny looks down on the wrecked car after defeating the devil, we see a blank brake disk without a wheel on. I guess it would theoretically be possible for all five lug nuts to rip clean off during an accident and leave the brake disk bare and exposed. But then the threads in the disc would still contain the shorn-off remnants of the lug nuts, instead of being empty. (01:23:00)
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)
1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Brian Taylor, Mark Neveldine
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Idris Elba, Ciaran Hinds, Violante Placido
Continuity mistake: When Nadya escapes with her son from the monastery she drives the car through the doors, and the driver's side of the car sustains substantial damage at the side of the hood with the side-view mirror completely broken off, but during the chase there's little damage to the car's body and the driver's side-view mirror is now dangling at the side.
Johnny Blaze: I don't save people.
Question: Was it the decision of the directors to have Ghost Rider killing people rather than using the Penance Stare like in the first movie. I found it odd that Johnny stated that the Ghost Rider would go after anybody such as people who tell little white lies.
Answer: The entire film was designed to have a different tone and feel from the first film, to be accessible to viewers who never saw the original. Thus this film exists as something of a soft reboot. In interviews the directors also stated the origin story for Ghost Rider never made sense to them and they wished to change aspects of the character for this film. That includes removing the Penance Stare and making Ghost Rider have an uncontrollable desire to feed on the wrong people have committed, even things like little white lies could set him off.
