 There is a scene in the movie where the Ghost Rider (played by  Nicolas Cage), while riding through the desert, rides past a lizard  on a rock. The lizard bursts into flame. This is strongly  reminiscent of a similar scene from another Nicolas Cage movie,  "Raising Arizona." In that movie Nicolas Cages character has a  dream where his evil side is riding through the desert on a  motorcycle, and shoots a lizard off a rock by the side of the road.  The camera angles are practically identical.
