The more I thought about it, the most I realized how completely perfect this is.
Johnny Blaze and burned-out veteran Steve Rogers have decided to take a cross-county road trip in the name of spiritual discovery, moving drugs, doing drugs and getting “down” with some fellow hippies along the way. What’s intended as a chance for two laid-back dudes to find themselves turns ugly as Blaze and Rogers make their way to the Bible Belt. Turns out folks down there don’t take too kindly to them hippie types, and their travels turn tragic when Steve is gunned down by a gang of hillbillies.
Now, remember how the actual movie “Easy Rider” ended with a shot of a bike in flames? Here’s what really happened: Johnny Blaze agrees to sell his soul to Mephisto to bring his boy Steve back to life. Mephisto bonds him with a demon named Dennis Hopper and turns him into the Easy Ghost Rider, transforming his chopper into a flaming bastard of a bike. Blaze also gains the ability to shoot Hellnofire, which causes the victim to have a bad trip, and of course, the “Think About What You’re Doing, Man” Stare, which causes bad dudes to, um…think about what they’re doing, man.
The rest of the movie is just Blaze and Rogers riding around murdering evil rednecks for about an hour or so. Honestly, I’d watch 3 hours of that if someone made it.
