I loved this movie...mainly because I love motorcycles and the forces of good and evil battling with each other. Ghostrider is a super entertaining movie, good action, thrilling rides, cool villains, I loved this movie. I especially liked the following that I noticed. I may be dating myself a little here but the not so subtle homage to Easy Rider was definitely there and appreciated...not only was the devil played by Captain America himself, Peter Fonda, but Johnny Blaze's regular chopper is a blend of the most notable motorcycles in bike history, the Captain America and Billy bikes from Easy Rider. The characters and the special effects are good enough to keep you watching, the acting is all as good as you would expect for this type of movie. Love Sam Elliot...this guy always plays a cool western type character...I think he must be this way in real life as well.

The Wild Angels
(1966)
lots of familiar faces
25 June 2005
The Wild Ones is a fun movie to watch if you love Harleys and familiar Hollywood faces before they were real famous. It's also a movie where as a Harley lover you can see the predecessor of the famous Captain America bike and the blueprint for Peter Fonda's character in "Easy Rider" which is of course a much better movie. Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd who are the parents of Laura Dern, Nancy Sinatra and Peter Fonda. I wonder why Dennis Hopper wasn't in this one? It's not a great movie but as a biker I enjoyed watching it while also doing other stuff..LOL, not a great plot but fun to watch. However if it wasn't for the familiar faces and the history I wouldn't have given it a 6.
