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.
More mistakes in The Punisher
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.
Trivia: Director Mark Goldblatt wanted to make this movie as far removed from the comic as possible, mostly just using Frank Castle's back story and loss of his family as a way to make a gritty revenge action movie. Wanting to lean away from the aesthetics and lore of the Marvel universe for his film, he did not include Punisher's iconic skull logo on his shirt in this version of the character, believing his black spandex suit would not translate well to live action. Years later, Goldblatt has expressed regret for this decision, believing had he incorporated the Punisher skull into the character's costume and marketing, it would likely have sold many more tickets.
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.
