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
A good adaptation
I really liked this film, it´s true to the comic, and in some parts is better. For example in the comic Frank Castel has a truck full of weapons (most of them hi tech weapons) but were he gets the cash to pays for them. It´s a better adaptation than most flicks from those years (captain America for example) and it´s full with a lot of action and blood, its like a predecesor for Kill Bill. I give the movie a 7 out of 10.
