Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 1h 1 min) During a flashback Frank Castle (Dolph Lundgren) has about his family, his daughters are both wearing Spider-Man pajamas. Director Mark Goldblatt did this to pay homage to Spider-Man. The Punisher first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #129, dated February 1974.
- Goofs(at around 1h 10 mins) After the lights go off, some goons shoot at where two characters are standing, only to find them gone when the emergency lights come on. Not a single bullet hole is visible in the Japanese paper screen they were standing before, however.
- Quotes
The Punisher: Come on god, answer me. for years I'm asking why, why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice? Where is punishment? Or have you already answered, have you already said to the world here is justice, here is punishment, here, in me.
- Crazy creditsWayne Fitzgerald created the titles from numerous movies and TV shows Buck Rogers in the 25th Century the same animated sequence is used.
- Alternate versionsGerman VHS release omits some of the bloody bullet-impacts. The killing of the Samurai army in the Yakuza tower was completely removed. We only see them lying on the ground.

Featured review
this version of the Punisher is much different than the 2004 version.for one thing it is much darker,and probably more faithful to the comic book version.the pacing is very deliberate in this one,creating more atmosphere.there are some very good fight scenes in this movie.the biggest difference is the antagonist,which is much more deadly in this one and a worthy adversary for the Punisher.Dolph Lundgren plays the role in this incarnation and is much more imposing,with better physical presence.this is mainly due to his size.he definitely would inspire fear in the criminal element.Lundgren is not really a great actor,but he doesn't need to be for this role.overall,this a good movie,more subdued than the 2004 version.there is more physical action,but very little of things blowing up,which works in this film's favor. a strong7/10
