Ghost Rider

With renewed interest in Ghost Rider as a result of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., I wanted to revisit the films. I wanted to re-imagine them more in line with the MCU, with the obligatory Post-Credits scene, and Stan Lee cameo. There is also a cameo by the creator of Ghost Rider, Gary Friedrich, see if you can spot it.

As this was my first fanedit, I didn’t keep a change log, but basically here are the major changes…
-Re-cut all exposition into flashback scenes.
-Color-corrected and darkened the overall visual tone (maybe too much).
-Added reverb to Wes Bentley’s voice to make it more ‘demon-like’, as he wasn’t very intimidating.
-Cut out most of the stupid jokes…Good-bye magic eightball!
-Added some swearing, to make it more adult. This is a story about servants of hell
-Attempted to add gravity to the death of his best friend by adding in a shot of his corpse, but not sure how effective it was.

Overall, this movie is still not great. It was tonally all over the place, but hopefully you will enjoy this cut more than the original. *There are still a couple jumpcuts that I am fixing, so will replace video when rendered.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

As a follow-up to my Ghost Rider project, I quickly tried to re-cut the sequel, Spirit of Vengeance, as well to more closely tie in with the first film and MCU as well. There were a lot of scenes that I imagine they didn’t have the rights to, so I have have added them in and hopefully, they tie in better with one another now.

As this is a Marvel Cut, it also has the Post-Credits scene, pulled from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and a Stan Lee cameo.

Some of the changes include…
-Adjusted color and contrast to more closely match my cut of the original.
-Included scenes from the first film for the flashbacks for continuity.
-Speaking of continuity, no Peter Fonda in this one, but hopefully my one well-timed cut during Idris Elba’s explanation of Satan will make this a little more fluid in the story.
-Cut out some of the ridiculous shots, like Ghost Rider spinning in the air a vertically, and staring at people for 33 seconds before actually killing them.
-Also cut in penitence stare from the first film to add further connections.

Hope you enjoy.

*My apologies for the black splotches, my file rendered poorly. I am working on replacing it, once I get it fixed.

I’d also be interested in watching your cut, where can it be seen?
