X Games Announcer Quotes in Ghost Rider (2007)

[before the big Touchdown Jump, Johnny Blaze and Randall "Mack" Mackenzie stand at the top of the acceleration ramp, overlooking the 300 ft jump]

Mack: Thank God you listened to me, took the cars out. It would've been suicide otherwise This way if you come up short, see, you'll come down on some nice, soft, green... grass?

[Mack looks up at the sound of the stadium dome being opened. Six Blackhawk helicopters slowly descend towards the field]

X Games Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, Johnny Blaze will not be jumping 50 cars today as scheduled; but instead, he will be leaping six UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. Never before has any man attempted such a death-defying stunt.

[Mack turns and glares at Johnny]

Johnny Blaze: [shrugs] I took the cars out.

Mack: [as the helicopters land on the field] Why? Why JB? Why wouldn't you tell me?

Johnny Blaze: Well, because you would have thrown a fit.

Mack: Call me old-fashioned, I'm funny that way. Human sacrifice makes me uncomfortable. Why, JB? Why helicopters, man?

Barton Blaze: [a flashback to Barton discussing a new idea for a jump with young Johnny] You know what I've been thinking about? A new stunt. But instead of the cars or the ring of fire, a helicopter.

Johnny Blaze: My dad thought it'd be cool.

Mack: [Mack pauses, and glances down towards the helicopters again, before turning back with a sigh] He was right.

X Games Announcer: [after Johnny has ignited during a biker stunt] He's ok! He's all right! I have to give you props Johnny. You were on fire!
