ghost rider (2007)

"Thank you for telling me I'm the devil's bounty hunter."
Johnny Blaize (Nicolas Cage), a motorcycle stunt rider, becomes the supernatural Ghost Rider when Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) compells him to defeat his son and some other demons. This is due to Johnny having previously sold his soul to the demon in return for his father's life.

Based on the Marvel comic, this tale strips much of the details out and replaces them with a quirky Elvisalike performance from Cage and his dodgy wig! Great FX and the cool Ghost rider cannot make up for the lameness of the rest of the film. Clunky performances, dodgy dialogue and a revamped Johnny Blaize as a jellybean eating, Carpenters listening, Elvis impersonator?!?
