We pulled out all the tricks but having a little more money and having better equipment really helped.”ĭefending their decision to leave the indie world and take on their first studio picture, Taylor says, “A lot of people get an impression because it’s a Marvel comics movie and it’s Sony that we’ve hit the big time and it’s a whole different kind of filmmaking for us. Neveldine enthuses, “We wanted to put our stamp on this thing so we hang out of helicopters, we’re on wires 500 feet over a cliff and on rollerblades hanging off of cars we did all that but that’s we do that on all of our films.

Hired to direct the sequel, Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance, Neveldine and Taylor brought back Nic Cage to play the demon biker and pushed the story ahead almost a decade.

Fans of the comic book lamented the lack of real darkness in the film and Cage’s snarky, jelly bean-eating performance.
