It's kinda weird that out of all the movies from this set, Drive Angry is the one that I just owned the Blu-Ray already.

I just watched Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance and I think it may have been the better choice. The last scene is my favourite (spoilers) : https://youtu.be/D0UGQYIezZU

Yo, guys, the Ghost Rider movies are just bad. They're not fun bad. The second one is really boring for the most part and wastes Idris Elba. Not that I love Drive Angry either, but it should be more entertaining than what GR2 would have been. GR2 had a lot of potential given Cage and the directors involved, but it was dull outside of like 2 good Cage freakouts.

Agreed. The big mining machine scene is the only thing I like in Spirit of Vengeance. At least the first movie has Sam Elliott.

Everything about Spirit of Vengeance screams "we budgeted for one action sequence." It's a good one, but the rest of the movie is a drag. They give the main henchman the ability to decay whatever he touches, and all they get out of it is a Twinkie gag.

In closing, William Fichtner > Ciaran Hines.
