Does anyone else have this version of the Ghost Rider dvd? If not I really recommend it, a superb addition to any Nic fan's collection, not least because it is the extended cut with "never seen before footage", but it is also crammed with amazing bonus features! Including:
Commentary with Writer / Director Mark Steven Johnson
Commentary with Visual Effects Supervisor Kevin Mack
Commentary with Producer Gary Foster
3 'Making of' Documentaries:
Spirit Of Vengeance
Spirit Of Adventure
Spirit of Execution
Sin and Salvation Featurettes (chronicalling 40 years of Ghost Rider comic book history)
Animatics
I truly love this film.. and when you see all the behind the scenes stuff and what went into making this movie, the enthusiasm and sincerity of everyone involved, the actors, director, producers, special effects people, it just elevates it up another level.
The 'making of 'documentaries have so much fascinating insight, and it is awesome seeing Nic look so incredibly happy shooting ghost Rider!!
And I don't know much about bikes but there is some totally drool worthy footage of the hellcycle being made and on completion... and the antique Harleys they use at the biker bar...
I have a couple of fave bits too, as they are about to shoot the "you're stepping on karen" scene ( the one when Johnny is in his white and red leathers, when he gulps down the whole coffee pot just before the big jump ) Nic is choosing the sunglasses Johnny is going to wear for the scene, and on trying on one pair he says, 'for me they don't have enough pazazz!'
And for anyone else who has this....I have always wanted to know..........in the 'Spirit of vengeance' 'making of' documentary...does Nic really say: "Let's do this baby" instead of "Let's ride"?!?!
And, yes, he says " Let`s do this, baby". Maybe, that was one of his improvs, to see, if this line works better. But, I am glad, that he says "Let`s ride" in the final movie.

Hi Lady Arwen, thanks for your comment in this thread!
It is such an excellent dvd isn't? the extras are a real treat!
Thank you for confirming Nic's line in the behind the scenes footage, I actually love the "let's do this baby" but it probably didn't fit with the scene so well, or with Sam Elliot!!!!
