And then, when you have reached the logical conclusion that what it was missing was the sort of hellish bodily discharges typically associated with the Grilled Stuft Burrito, you should watch this trailer and be pleased that now the Ghost Rider movie has that.

After Neveldine and Taylor's last attempt at a comic book movie, Jonah Hex, didn't turn out so well, it's reassuring to see the directing duo back to the sort of go-for-broke nonsense that made Crank enjoyable. But can they ever hope to compete against what we true fans consider the definitive live-action Ghost Rider?
