Visible crew/equipment: When The Punisher is being tortured on the 'rack', look on the floor. You can see the tape on the floor for 'blocking' the actors. Some of them actually stand where they are supposed to.

8.9/10. An unfairly ignored Marvel movie. Sure it has its weak moments but it's a good movie with Dolph Lundgren perfectly cast as the Punisher.He and Thomas Jane both play the character excellently. A must watch for any Punisher fan as well as Marvel fan.
A highly underrated movie.
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.
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.





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.
