Ghost Rider (2007).

Utterly bizarre schizoid film. It's starts off much like recent Marvel adaptations with a pretty well done origin story, nice little nods to the 70s stunt riding craze which spawned superheroes like this one :

Then it morphs into a mild John Walters adaptation of Spawn or The Crow with Nicholas Cage looking like George Formby with a bad dye job.

Sam Elliott was my first love, cursed with being too macho to fill Burt Reynolds' or Tom Selleck's slot (oh dear that sentence is just too nasty).

He is utterly charming in this film and Peter Fonda lends the bad guys some class as the rest of them are really crap Twilight kids pretending to be American Wrestlers.

It is a shame that the bonkers stuff and the actual comic adaption stuff aren't kept separate.

I would love to see a film where Cage played an eccentric pug ugly stunt driver and I would love to see a Ghost Rider film, but if the combination of the two isn't entirely successful it is at least hilariously arresting stuff.

I want to see Cage do a series of films as George Formby now.

Infinate Balls.
