I went to see Ghost Rider today. Save your money. Not only was the acting bad, the script cheesy as hell and the plot full of gaping holes, there was also an overt, out of place, shameless plug for the goodness of black people and the evil of whites that had nothing to do with the plot.
In Ghost Rider form, Johnny Blaze has the ability to see the guilt or innocence of a person and uses their guilt against them as a weapon. He only becomes Ghost Rider in the presence of evil.
In one scene, Blaze is arrested in human form on suspicion of murder. He is taken to a cell filled with criminals. You guessed it - all white except for one skinny black teenager. There are about eight burly white men in the cell, all having the appearance of bikers and rednecks, who immediately set upon Johnny Blaze because he is a big shot, and one guy says he wasted money on one of Blaze's stunt shows because Blaze didn't crash and burn. So they knock Blaze to the ground and start stomping and kicking him, while the black kid looks on in anguish. Finally, the black kid jumps up and yells "Leave him alone!" just at the moment that Blaze transforms into Ghost Rider - he is in the presence of evil, after all - and destroys all the white men in the cell, leaving only the black kid crouching in the corner.
Ghost Rider turns to the black kid, points his finger and says in his hellish voice, "You: Innnoocceeeent," then turns and melts the bars of the cell and walks out.
There was not a single black or Hispanic bad guy in the jail. But then again, this is fiction, right?
