Alien Ghost Rider

[Bob]

I watched a movie in the early 80's,,,bad one,,,so bad havent seen or heard of since. It was supposed to be the thing thjat spawned 'Knightrider" series..but even they seem to shun it.
I  read the popular 80's shows 'wilkpedia' summarization which brags about its awards and sucess stuff but no mention of the movie "Alien Ghost Rider" which gave birth to it.
I would love to see its bad script and acting one more time.

PS; There was no alien or ghost in or mentioned in this movie.
Thanks,,,Bob

IMDB has no record of anything called "Alien Ghost Rider", which makes me think you may be remembering the title wrong.

You might want to see if you can remember any more details and ask again on the "What was this film?" board.

Just because IMDB doesn't have it listed doesn't mean its not true/right.There are tons of movies not listed on IMDB

That's the truth. While imdb does seem to have most of the movies ever made, and then some, I have come across some obscure movies that are not listed. But what is most surprising to me is that there is--apparently--no listing for "David Copperfield." the version with Freddie Bartholomew, Lionel Barrymoe, W. C. Fields, Edna May Oliver, Basil Rathbone, Arthur Treacher, etc. That movie is by no means an obscure movie. Of course, I've never tried to correct imdb on their mistake.

Boy ScoutKevin: You talkin' about this?

Gigantor: I didn't mean there's absolutely no way there was a movie called "Alien Ghost Rider."  I meant that the fact that there's no record of it on IMBD, or anywhere else on the Internet, makes me think it's more likely that Bob has remembered the title wrong.  If he's asking if anyone recognizes this movie by title alone, and he's misremembering the title, he's never going to find it.  A better strategy would be to remember details about the movie and ask about those to see if they ring a bell with anyone.

Or, he could try asking on the Knight Rider Online forum.

it isn't the Highwayman?  It had Same Jones driving around in a semi truck with a cloaking device the semi's cab was actually the front of a helicopter..

Yes, that was what I was looking for. Thanks, Rev. The reason I think I never found it, is because I remember the first time I saw it, which was in a Great Books class in junior high, I remembered the title as "David Copperfield." Which I thought was the title everytime I saw it on TV, thereafter. Thanks again, Rev.

And oh by the way, for a film made in 1935, I think it's well worth seeing. "Barkus is willing."
