- TriviaNicolas Cage had to have his Ghost Rider tattoo covered with make-up to play Johnny Blaze.
- Goofs(at around 54 mins) The Caretaker tells Johnny Blaze it would be better if he stayed in the cemetery, because the demons cannot come on hallowed ground. Later (at around 1h 9 mins), Blackheart (the son of the devil) is seen inside a church near the alter, praying in a mock fashion. A church would be blessed/hallowed ground. However, Blackheart clearly states later that he doesn't have that weakness.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Caretaker: [voiceover] It's said that the West was built on legends. And that legends are a way of understanding things greater than ourselves. Forces that shape our lives, events that defy explanation. Individuals whose lives soar to the heavens or fall to the earth. This is how legends are born.
[Johnny transforms into Ghost Rider]
- Crazy creditsThe Marvel Comics logo features comic-book images of the Ghost Rider in its pages; after it fully forms it undergoes the Rider's transformation, blazing hellfire and growing spikes.
- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema version was pre-edited by the distributors to reduce shots of Johnny's face disintegrating into the Ghost Rider during his initial transformation in order for the film to receive a 12A cinema certificate. The DVD was upgraded to a 15 certificate and is fully uncut.
