Question: Why is Frank Castle's hideout in the sewers?
Chosen answer: Because of the stink and water, it would be impossible for police dogs to track him. The sewers are also good for quick retreat and hiding.

Directed by: Mark Goldblatt
Starring: Dolph Lundgren, Louis Gossett Jr., Jeroen Krabbe, Kim Miyori
Factual error: After the scene where Frank Castle steals the bus to rescue the children, the mobsters are firing at the bus. Not one bullet pierces a hole in the bus. Who knew Public Transit was bullet proof?
The Punisher: I still talk to God sometimes, I ask him if what I'm doing is right or wrong, I'm still waiting for an answer, and until I get one, I'll be waiting, watching, THE guilty will be punished.
Trivia: This film got a theatrical release in 1989 in most countries except for Sweden, South Africa and the US. It wouldn't be until 1991 that it saw a VHS and laser disc release in the US for home video. Part of the reason why it didn't get a theatrical release in the US is due to Lundgren's film Red Scorpion being a box office flop, leading to producers not believing he could lead as an action star and draw in an audience.
Answer: With how many criminals Frank has killed, many of them would definitely want revenge. By hiding in the sewers, there's less chance of him or his hideout being discovered. If Frank lived anywhere above ground, his enemies would be able to find him more quickly and kill him.
