Revealing mistake: At the start, just as Moreau rides up the stone road leading to the monastery up ahead, before he passes the two guards we can see that it's a flipped shot - note the backwards license plate number.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)
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.
Continuity mistake: The damaged headlight of the car in which the kid and mom are running at the start switches sides. In the first shot when the car breaks through the door it's the left headlight that's not working, but on the road it's the right headlight that's not working. (00:03:30)
Johnny Blaze: That's the guy? He looks like he works on a cruise ship.
Nadya: Am I gonna regret taking you?
Johnny Blaze: Um, yeah, probably.
Johnny Blaze: Um, I know that it's a little awkward. I mean, rolling with you guys. I mean, after everything you've been through.
Danny: Dude. You're way cooler than the other guys she usually hangs out with.
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.
Question: Why was the design of Ghost Rider and the Hellcycle changed? Plus, in the first movie he had gained control of his transformation. So when he is trying to leave after interrogating a lowlife thug, does he look like he is unable to keep the Ghost Rider in check?
Answer: They were changed to look "grittier". It was just a stylistic choice though, it's not really related to the plot in any way. As for the second part, at the end of the first movie, he had a much greater degree of control over the Rider, but not absolute control. Being in such a sinful place to interrogate the "thug" strained his ability to resist the transformation.
Question: Is this supposed to be a sequel or a reboot? It takes place as if it's a sequel, kinda like the Hulk movies, but there are so many changes and differences it's like a reboot... like the Hulk movies. So sequel or reboot?
Chosen answer: This is a sequel. The only major difference from the first one is the Devil's human appearance.

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.
