What type of shotgun did Nicolas Cage use in the 2007 movie "Ghost Rider"?

Nicolas Cage used a Winchester Model 1887 lever-action shotgun in the 2007 movie "Ghost Rider." The screen weapon is commonly identified as a 12-gauge Winchester Model 1887, carried by Johnny Blaze after he becomes the Ghost Rider.

The Model 1887 was designed by firearms inventor John Browning and produced by Winchester beginning in 1887. It is notable because it operates with a lever rather than the pump-action mechanism associated with many later movie shotguns. Winchester manufactured the model until 1901, with more than 64,000 produced.

Viewers sometimes confuse the Ghost Rider shotgun with the similar Winchester 1887 famously wielded by Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." That earlier film helped make the long, lever-operated shotgun a recognizable piece of action-movie imagery. In "Ghost Rider," however, the weapon belongs to Johnny Blaze's supernatural Western-inspired arsenal.
