Ghost Rider bike question.

Just saw the movie and I'm for some reason curious as to who built the HellCycle. Tried Goofle and all I came up with was pics of the bike, no mention of who built it. Would love to find a build up of it but I kinda doubt there will be one anywhere. :doubt:
 
The trailers looked good, Might pick it up at the library next year :)

All the hype about Ghost Rider, I keep thinking about this:

[SIZE=+2]And now available is the ever-popular GHOST RIDER![/SIZE]


~~Ghost Rider~~

And by popular demand, coming shortly will be Eyes in the Sky and Saloon No.10. Visit our gallery of David Mann fine art reproduction prints here. Click the thumbnail images for a bigger picture and pricing info!

David passed away in the middle of the first three editions we produced. He DID NOT get the chance to hand-sign all of them. There are NONE with his original signature left. His wife, Jacquie, is now signing his name to all further prints. This is what David wanted, as she was right there beside him for so many years, and now as his heir, receives his portion of the royalties to help pay off the staggering medical bills that accumulated in the months before David’s death.​

Ghost Rider Questions

....................................

Edwin P: What I was wondering, who designed and built that awesome bike, because that's a totally new cool look for the movie adaptation!

MSJ: Thanks, I think so too! Although I kept the look of the Ghost Rider close to the 90's era comics, I did feel that the motorcycle could be improved upon. I always liked that the Batmobile looked like Batman and likewise I felt that the Ghost Rider's cycle should resemble the Ghost Rider. Early concept art by Crash McCreery helped me explore this idea until we came up with the look you see now. It's a bit Geiger in design but without being sci-fi. Hellfire, in our movie, affects metal in a specific way -- from the spikes on G.R.'s leather jacket, to the motorcycle, to a shotgun. All are given a "personality" and a look of our hero. We discussed having a Jesse James or O.C.C. build the bike, but in the end what we wanted was fantasy, not realism, and the building of the bike fell under my excellent Production Designer, Kirk Petrucelli.

I never got into comics so I don't know who the character is but this looks pretty cool. Was it any good? Cage isn't always the right choice for a role.

Yeah it was pretty good. Me being somewhat into comics had some issues with the look of the villians but I also understand that the way they looked in the comics and cartoons usually doesn't translate well to the big screen. I tried to keep that in mind but there was still something unsatisfying about the villians. Nicholas Cage was actually pretty good in this role. A bit of over acting here and there but not bad. I'd go see it again. :)


Thanks for the link thingy Boots!!:bravo:

Well he wasn't spuerly great but he wasn't too bad either. Like I said there was a bit of over acting when the "Rider" first took over but other than that it wasn't too bad on his part.
 
We got a couple of movie cards for X-mas and we're going to see it monday, Good to hear some upfront comments before going.

Cage?, Acting?:bwuhaha:
 
When he tries to get serious and play deep - I fall out of my chair laughing. Even the lightweight stuff is well beyond his grasp.
Well I guess that is the hallmark of a good actor. A person that can keep their audience entertained. And he does, oh he does. Not for believability, but entertained.
 
hbo likes to run spoiler "makeing of's" befor random movies...7 of the skull bikes were made...most of the carveing on the skull bike had to be done by hand as it didnt translate well into the molds
