It's sad that the sequel never saw the light of day, it's even sadder that there was a Netflix series for kids with a bad actor, despite nice action scenes that don't save an uninteresting scenario
Bernthal is awesome in the show. But the problem is that the Punisher is not an emotionally or morally complex guy, and the showrunners wrote him as one. Personally, I'd love a "No Way Home" scenario where this version of Jane's Punisher meets the Daredevil season 2 version of Bernthal's Punisher
I could agree with Shouldn't play with knives but this is VENGEANCE also taking the law into your own hands. Also called vigilantism! Most importantly VENGEANCE IS THE LORD'S!
@@TRUTHJUSTICELIBERTY4ALL-eq4zk Oh God, I'm an atheist, don't talk nonsense about the fact that revenge belongs to God, for what and, most importantly, to whom he will take revenge🤔
I think that Thomas Jane is a great actor; but Ray Stevenson (Punisher War Zone) actually "looked" and acted the most like the Punisher, followed by a close second of Dolph Lundgren in the original. Thomas Jane is awesome...but just not big or menacing enough.
Punisher trying not to be Punisher for just one day (or at least a couple of minutes) Thomas Jane brought so much more meaning to The Punisher character than any other incarnation I've seen. Jon Berthal was more-so an animal, which also works well for the Punisher
Dont get me wrong, Thomas Jane is cool, but Jon Bernthal is the punisher. His acting in the show is hands down some of the best ive ever seen. An incredible show that managed to have plenty of violence, but actually a lot more story to tell.
@@cunderwood2323 You really liked Bernthal's acting (that much)? Don't get me wrong, opinions are opinions and I'm giving you a thumbs up, 'cause Punisher fans are Punisher fans, gotta stick together. It's just so weird to me, because I liked the Punisher show very much, but I found Bernthal's acting pretty damn underwhelming in most of his scenes and downright atrocious in some. His constant under his breath mumbling, head-bobbing and eye-shifting almost drove me nuts and have prevented me from watching it again, though I kinda want to by now. I *do respect* the man, no doubt about it. He's hard working, kinda simple but cunning, y'know, street smarts. And I think he's a real genuine guy, salt of the earth. To me Thomas Jane lacked Bernthal's rawness and animalism that helped sell him as Castle, but damn, did Jane nail The Punisher's menacing intelligence, his patience in building up tactics and an actual smart plan to take down Howard Saint's crime syndicate in the 04' movie. I always had trouble seeing Bernthal as intelligent enough to play the perfect Punisher. I'm curious, how did you like Ray Stevenson in the role? I think he was awesome, but didn't like the movie (Warzone) a whole lot.
This feels right out of Punisher MAX. The brutal cynicism, the gore, the deadpan conversation between Frank and Ron Perlman’s clerk, even the shadows underneath Frank’s eyes when he’s punishing. What a goddamn tribute
EXACTLY, I've been saying the shadows where you can't see his eyes feels right out of the MAX series it's little details like that which matter so much.
Nate W Jon Bernthal cited this as a source of inspiration...he praised it publically. The Punisher 2004 movie veered from the comics more than DD season 2 . Give em a chance, Thomas Jane is still the first Punisher. Dolph doesnt count to me. Theres no other actor other than Thomas Jane to play the punisher. When he beat Ed on TWD i saw frank
THIS should have been the movie. This is what he wanted, but the producers wouldn't go for it. That is the reason he made this, kinda giving the fans what they wanted. So awesome
I threw an empty bottle of Mickeys at a sign while in the passenger seat it missed and bounced down the road even made a few sparks...didn't break. The next Mickeys hit a sign at 60mph and still did not break.
There’s a good reason why Jon Bernthal proudly states he took inspiration from this short movie. Massive respects to both men. They are both perfect and unique punishers imo
I love the little details in this short. The Punisher is basically a homeless guy living out of a van, as he should be! It is not only unrealistic for a vigilante acting alone to have access to tons of military gear but it detracts from the character. Showing the Punisher surviving in abject poverty emphasizes how self-destructive and anti-social his actions are. The Punisher may be cool but he shouldn't be glamorous. I also like the slow build up to the Punisher finally killing. It shows the silent humiliation the Punisher would live with if he was a normal bystander who just watched and did nothing. It also shows that, while he is extremely violent, he's also not impulsive. Amazing this short showed so much of the Punishers character with such little time and dialogue!
@@thevioletimagination3487 Punishment is delivered, and can be done by anyone... Justice, is served, and should always be served to/by those who deserve it ;)
The black guy needs more calcium in his diet. Brittle bones are no joking matter. He has a problem with alcohol too. Just as well he's dead. He would have been a burden on the healthcare system anyway.
Reverend delzao Hollywood would use people from Black Lives Matter to hunt the punisher down by calling the cops, the people they hate. And use the system to take him out. The very system they protest about. They would still balls it up, like ghostbusters 3😔😔
What a world we live in when internet tough guy nobodies with Punisher icons have the audacity to call good hearted, hard working men like Ron Perlman "SJW cucks."
In that case; we could use a few more monsters. While at it, send one to clean up Washingon D.C. - our government has forgotten that they exist to serve and protect the people and their liberties.
new set of values for the monsters we need OMG , killing is ok as long as the bad guy is killed ? what the f..k we need judicial system for ? you liberties are taken away under the excuse of bad guy killing for a good purpose , sinister as hell but as old as the world , so i guess no one needs the democracy for all anymore in 2020 ..
The Punisher was designed to represent a failure of the system so bad that a vigilante was the only form of justice and salvation for the people left. A necessary evil. So that's basically the perfect description of him.
@@rogersanchez8942 Did you entirely miss the point that these were evil people who had repeatedly caused significant harm to multiple people and for whatever reason the law and judicial system were either no longer blind or were ineffective? So, in your judgement what is a better solution when the legal system doesn't work and these criminals are free to keep killing and torturing innocent people? Asking them to be nice may work for a 2yrs old, but not for grown people who have learned to become predatory.
@@maxiuy7300 Bernthal was good and more importantly got better productions. But regarding the best Punisher actor, I too think that that was Thomas Jane.
yeah , Punisher in DareDevil was great. If he would've had just abt 3-4 episodes more instead of lying in a Hospital Bed or Lockup ( Jail scene was awesome), Punisher would've cast a bigger shadow compared to Daredevil. Hope they make "The Punisher" series next just like DC made Flash after Green Arrow..!! This clip is awesome and it deserves its own feature film. Good Work guys. Thanks Adi (and Team) for such a treat.
Thats great Mate. Can u do me a favour and post the link to this info. I hope its Netflix cause then won't have to wait a week for a 45mins episode..!!
Always come back to this every now and then. Fucking brilliant short that was made on a shoestring budget. Very, very impressive and Thomas Jane is in my mind irreplaceable as the punisher. He’s got such a great way of portraying loss, no nope and rage all within one expression. Fantastic work.
not taking anything away from Jane, but he's more fitting to be a young Frank Castle than The Punisher. The version I like most is the Garth Ennis' one. The film needs someone looking more worn out, with cold dead eyes and can convey the pain he keeps inside. Since Jane is older now, maybe he can pull it off.
"I wanted to make a fan film for a character I've always loved and believed in - a love letter to Frank Castle & his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun of it. It's been a blast to be a part of from start to finish -- we hope the friends of Frank enjoy watching it as much as we did making it." - Thomas Jane remember this people, the one true punisher helped make this for this for the fans
Despite some poorly written dialogue, scenes that haven't aged well at all, and other cheesy moments; I honestly think it's a solid movie and a throwback to when Marvel IP's started to take off with their film adaptations. Bloody, brutal, raw, and reminiscent of gritty movies from the 70s/80s. I give a 7 if not a 7.5/10 to the OG 2004 Punisher.
Huh??... Castle let A group drug addicts beat the hell out of A woman and A kid so in your head you're thinking Frank Castle hung up the job as THE PUNISHER, When all hope is lost for that Lady & kid Frank Castle THE PUNISHER is back with A bottle of Jack Daniels and beats the liven hell out of drug addicts with the final guy he breaks both of ankles so he couldn't walk so he pours that whole bottle of Jack on top him with his lighter next to him. That lady that he hurt wanted some revenge so she picked up the lighter and tosses it on top of the the guy that was covered in alcohol by Frank Castle. The most important thing is when that kid opens up that t-shirt with A skull on the front he absolutely 💯% knew who that was
I just watched this for the first time in like a decade, and it's just as badass as it was the first time I saw it... Damn. So good. Thank You Thomas Jane & everybody who chipped in to make this happen ❤️

I just finished watching the 04’ Punisher movie with Jane again for the umpteenth time and it made me wish to god he would star as Frank again for a sequel. I started looking up stuff on it and found this short film, and it’s good, but damn. We need another Thomas Jane Punisher!!! The Netflix Punisher is good, no doubt. And I love John’s portrayal of Frank in the show too, but something about Thomas Jane’s performance of Frank is just so damn raw! I love it! Jane isn’t getting any younger so I really hope to see a day where we see him as Frank again.
Take note Marvel. That's 4,375,000 views. At $10 a ticket, that's roughly $43 million with no advertising. Now add the Marvel "bump" with its constant marketing strategies and you have a summer blockbuster. And a grateful audience for bringing back Thomas Jane as the Punisher.
FOX TV Exec: "Wait I got a Idea, OK, so I have never actually read a Punisher comic but lets make a Punisher TV show anyway, only we will make it PG-13, and Frank will be a NYPD officer who moonlights as a vigilante not a disturbed Vietnam Vet looking to punish bad people. Who thinks its a good idea? Discuss over a Latte? I have already invited the other Hollywood punisher writers who didn't understand Frank Castle and made the other horrible Punisher movies to join us."
BeginnningoftheEnd Never said he did. But I do think there is better. First of all Jane just doesn't look like Frank. Hes not big enough, he's too young, and he doesn't have what combat vets call the "1000 yard stare", which is the mental baggage combat brings. But my problem with Jane is not him, but his writers. Jane's Punisher is just too talkative. Frank is a man of very few words, and Jane just wont shut up. One of the best things about Rambo: First Blood was that Rambo in the film actually said very little, and when he did speak it was in short sentences. Rambo didn't need to say anything, but you could tell this was not someone you ever wanted to f**k with. I don't think the character would have worked if he were as talkative Had they renamed John Rambo to Frank Castle, you'd have had the best interpretation of the Punisher on film.
HAH! That's similar to the line the reporter uses in the Lundgren Punisher movie. When the gangster's house blows up, he shows up in the door-frame and a reporter goes "Holy shit! It's the Punisher!"
I late 12 years in watch that marvelous thing. I love how Thomas Jane portrayed Punisher, one of my favourites characters of all time super heroes. This fan made short movie is wonderful. A delicious for the fans who love F.Castle. Thomas Jane was so near to be in Deadpool 3, but at the end they didn't hired him, but they mentioned it on the movie. I loved this video. Thanks for serving it here for the fans. Greetings from Madrid, Spain. ❤
+onlyDTA Fredo Sadtana It is pretty great but its an origin story Thomas jane was great john travolta eh not so much i liked the neighbors they were cool.
@@Maximus1Decimus Jane DIDN'T want to do Warzone. He felt the script was taking it too far in the opposite direction & making the character more goofy than serious. Had the second movie gone the more serious route he'd still be the Punisher.
The difference between justice and punishment is that justice is a gourmet meal for perps, but punishment is a cold rotting dish that no creature wants. I'm so glad Jane made this.
Thomas Jane is an underrated actor. The subtley of his expressions and his silent rage in this short are fantastic! A really expressive actor great work Tom! And the director does an Amazing job in this as well
Ron Pearlman is an asshole. Anyone who has filmed around him rather it be just backdrops or other actors know he's an asshole. He won't acknowledge anyone when he's not filming.
He brought so much gravitas and humanity to the role in the 2004 movie. Don’t get me wrong I think Bernthal was an amazing Punisher and I’d love for him to continue, but there was something so simply human in the way Jane portrayed the character. I would love to see him reprise the role as well.
@@stanknight9159 Always the same kind of comment from kids who never seem to have read the comics, the Netflix series is an atrocity that mixes unnecessary length, a pointless script and more than bad acting. Ray Stevenson could have been the best Punisher after Dolph but both of them had two cinematographic crap despite the efforts to stick to the comics, Thomas Jane is both a much better actor than anything we've seen but mostly had an almost all-audience movie that was always way too underrated
@@Lantement @Lant Vant I been reading the comics since I was 10. Punisher is my favorite. I love all the Punishers. All of them did a superb job. If you don't like any of them then that is on you.
@@stanknight9159 It's not because I like women that I like all pornos, it's stupid not to have tastes. They all have flaws, the series is a huge piece of crap for kids but it had budget and the best action scenes and the 2004 movie has easily the best composition between actor, script, interest and music that's all I said, on the other hand, the 1989 Punisher has strictly the best atmosphere and is much too forgotten
Finally, a realistic scene with a bottle. Those things are actually really hard to break when hitting people in the head with them. Although, if you do want to break it and use it as a stabbing weapon, you can do that with the pavement.
It was until they set him on fire. JD's nowhere near high enough proof for that. Gotta admit though that was a satisfying scene with the cracking skulls and breaking legs.
@@jonathanfoster8475 Yes as soon u want to do the same u will get very dissapointed cause JD never caught fire like that That fire was more like a gasoline type
I honestly thought it was. Such an amazing job by these guys, though I lose all respect for that hellboy guy bein in it. Guy is a fraud and changes his beliefs with the wind.
Anyone else remember watching this not knowing it was a Punisher short? Moments like those are catching lightning in a bottle. Still come back to watch it every so often to remember that feeling.
@@davidisraelcarrascojaramil5184 define "a good man".. Is he like Steve Rogers (Captain America) or Tony Stark ? No.. But killing bandits and such, in my book, makes him a good man.. Sure he fights dirty.. But not all heros can be squaky clean and model Citizens
@@davidisraelcarrascojaramil5184 idk if its "silly".. Depends a whole Lot on from whitch "school" you view what "being good" is measured in.. Platon, Aristotel, Locke or Decarte or.. Of course "we" (the modern society) has more or less a set set of values we gauge and measure what being good "is", but Even by then "good" is a relative.. Being Good in say, Asia, carries a Very different "meaning than say, here in Europe .. If anything. We shouldnt be discussing wether he is good or Evil, but more the ethics.. like the concept of his actions (R.W Paul and Linda Elder) Being Good or evil seem more like a firm set of belief, Where i personally think that is too "rigid" to justify and descripe a person.. Look at the morallity behind a persons action instead
ThePowerOf42 I’d say his killing is justifiable instead of let’s say arrest them and risk the bad guys coming out and going back to their old ways he puts an end to it sure he might not be a hero but he damn sure is a vigilante.
This needs to be a full length film. I for one would pay towards a kickstarter! Tom Jane is the best Punisher and he portrayed Castle perfectly! Such a shame we haven't seen another film with Tom as Punisher!
I think he was the perfect actor but the movie lacked a perfect writer or director. Why was it set in Miami? Why was the entire thing just a standard revenge film? Why was he setting up an elaborate psychological plot instead of just killing the bad guys? This short just goes to show that the problem was not Thomas Jane, but sadly that movie failing means everything about it has to go down with it.
I agree, it's basically doing a disney trying to appeal to the masses instead of doing the characters justice to make more money. Thomas Jane was amazing as punisher, he was the reason I was so interested in the character. if you play the punisher game with his voice, you are set!!!
When it was made the big studios had a different view of comic book movies and their potential success. Now after The marvel disney movies the industry has changed dramatically. I would love to see Tomas Jane again, but we have Bernthal and netflix now and we are stuck with it.
Yes! It's also a shame that carl urban and thomas Jane loved the characters they played so much but Hollywood won't let them make more great movies of there characters
Thomas Jane is the best Punisher to me. I love the Netflix series with Jon Bernthal, but Thomas Jane show us, is love for the character when he made this short in 2012, his movie was very good considering that he only had a budget of 35 million. He refused to appear in the sequel (Punisher: War Zone) because he did not like the script and because he was angry about the budget reduction. He was right because that movie fared worse at the box office and in criticism than in The Punisher (2004). He decided to make this short film as a sign of affection for the character.
love how even Thomas Jane knows the writers fucked up the Punisher movies, so he made his own short film instead. Really goes to show you that knowing the source material and being a fan of it greatly benefits writing for an already existing character
Friend sent me this. I wish I could give it more likes. Simplicity. Pacing. Fine acting. Rich atmosphere. And a surprise appearance from my man, Ron. Astounding!
After all this time, I still re-watch this and the ending still sends that adrenaline rush when the kids realizes who he just met lol Thomas Jane needs to come back as the Punisher.
This is so good, Jane truly loved the character and told a buddy of mine at a signing that "there hasn't been a fitting film version of Punisher yet" even after his. Guy is a class act and my favorite Castle to this day.
I must have watched this video a ton of times. My question is why can't Thomas Jane make another Punisher movie this way? Simply Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fun fact: Thomas Jane wasn't even supposed to be in this short. He just showed up randomly one day and beat everyone to death with a Jack Daniels bottle.
Dolph's Punisher was legitimately frightening. Sure, everyone else commited violent acts against criminals but Lundgren's empty thousand-yard stare was haunting.
Jon Bernthal does a great job as Punisher too for Netflix. I think Thomas Jane is more silent and stoic but Bernthal is more brutal and you can see how hurt he is by the PTSD of the war, his family etc.

The Punisher isn't the Hero you want, he's the Monster you need
I love this perspective.
In that case; we could use a few more monsters. While at it, send one to clean up Washingon D.C. - our government has forgotten that they exist to serve and protect the people and their liberties.
new set of values for the monsters we need OMG , killing is ok as long as the bad guy is killed ? what the f..k we need judicial system for ? you liberties are taken away under the excuse of bad guy killing for a good purpose , sinister as hell but as old as the world , so i guess no one needs the democracy for all anymore in 2020 ..
The Punisher was designed to represent a failure of the system so bad that a vigilante was the only form of justice and salvation for the people left. A necessary evil. So that's basically the perfect description of him.
@@rogersanchez8942 Did you entirely miss the point that these were evil people who had repeatedly caused significant harm to multiple people and for whatever reason the law and judicial system were either no longer blind or were ineffective? So, in your judgement what is a better solution when the legal system doesn't work and these criminals are free to keep killing and torturing innocent people? Asking them to be nice may work for a 2yrs old, but not for grown people who have learned to become predatory.
Anytime I watch Punisher I'm left wishing another was made. A great movie that is underappreciated.

Always come back to this every now and then. Fucking brilliant short that was made on a shoestring budget. Very, very impressive and Thomas Jane is in my mind irreplaceable as the punisher. He’s got such a great way of portraying loss, no nope and rage all within one expression. Fantastic work.
not taking anything away from Jane, but he's more fitting to be a young Frank Castle than The Punisher. The version I like most is the Garth Ennis' one. The film needs someone looking more worn out, with cold dead eyes and can convey the pain he keeps inside. Since Jane is older now, maybe he can pull it off.
Same. This never gets old.

This 10 minute clip was better than 90 % of the shit in the movies out today.
Despite some poorly written dialogue, scenes that haven't aged well at all, and other cheesy moments; I honestly think it's a solid movie and a throwback to when Marvel IP's started to take off with their film adaptations. Bloody, brutal, raw, and reminiscent of gritty movies from the 70s/80s. I give a 7 if not a 7.5/10 to the OG 2004 Punisher.
40% better

But this appears to be after he's attempted to quit murdering criminals. How long has Netflix Punisher been active?
Captain Doomsday Well he hasn't completely punished those who murdered his family yet, so I would assume he is still a baby Punisher.
This is the Punisher movie that we don’t deserve, but it’s the Punisher movie that we need right now.

That lady that he hurt wanted some revenge so she picked up the lighter and tosses it on top of the the guy that was covered in alcohol by Frank Castle.

I just finished watching the 04’ Punisher movie with Jane again for the umpteenth time and it made me wish to god he would star as Frank again for a sequel. I started looking up stuff on it and found this short film, and it’s good, but damn. We need another Thomas Jane Punisher!!! The Netflix Punisher is good, no doubt. And I love John’s portrayal of Frank in the show too, but something about Thomas Jane’s performance of Frank is just so damn raw! I love it! Jane isn’t getting any younger so I really hope to see a day where we see him as Frank again.
Take note Marvel. That's 4,375,000 views. At $10 a ticket, that's roughly $43 million with no advertising. Now add the Marvel "bump" with its constant marketing strategies and you have a summer blockbuster. And a grateful audience for bringing back Thomas Jane as the Punisher.
this only proves that the story of the Punisher is summed up with 10 min film. spend that time on a more interesting series like The Runaways instead.
C'mon Marvel, say yes! All you gotta do is say YEESSS!
FOX TV Exec: "Wait I got a Idea, OK, so I have never actually read a Punisher comic but lets make a Punisher TV show anyway, only we will make it PG-13, and Frank will be a NYPD officer who moonlights as a vigilante not a disturbed Vietnam Vet looking to punish bad people.
Who thinks its a good idea? Discuss over a Latte? I have already invited the other Hollywood punisher writers who didn't understand Frank Castle and made the other horrible Punisher movies to join us."
Thomas Jane didn't suck. The script needed to step it up but don't blame the actor who actually likes and wants to stay true to the character. smh
BeginnningoftheEnd Never said he did. But I do think there is better. First of all Jane just doesn't look like Frank. Hes not big enough, he's too young, and he doesn't have what combat vets call the "1000 yard stare", which is the mental baggage combat brings.
But my problem with Jane is not him, but his writers. Jane's Punisher is just too talkative. Frank is a man of very few words, and Jane just wont shut up.
One of the best things about Rambo: First Blood was that Rambo in the film actually said very little, and when he did speak it was in short sentences. Rambo didn't need to say anything, but you could tell this was not someone you ever wanted to f**k with. I don't think the character would have worked if he were as talkative
Had they renamed John Rambo to Frank Castle, you'd have had the best interpretation of the Punisher on film.

Depends a whole Lot on from whitch "school" you view what "being good" is measured in..
Platon, Aristotel, Locke or Decarte or..
Of course "we" (the modern society) has more or less a set set of values we gauge and measure what being good "is", but Even by then "good" is a relative.. Being Good in say, Asia, carries a Very different "meaning than say, here in Europe ..
If anything. We shouldnt be discussing wether he is good or Evil, but more the ethics.. like the concept of his actions (R.W Paul and Linda Elder)
Being Good or evil seem more like a firm set of belief, Where i personally think that is too "rigid" to justify and descripe a person..
Look at the morallity behind a persons action instead
ThePowerOf42 I’d say his killing is justifiable instead of let’s say arrest them and risk the bad guys coming out and going back to their old ways he puts an end to it sure he might not be a hero but he damn sure is a vigilante.
I’m always love The Punisher since my teenage years!
This needs to be a full length film. I for one would pay towards a kickstarter! Tom Jane is the best Punisher and he portrayed Castle perfectly! Such a shame we haven't seen another film with Tom as Punisher!
I think he was the perfect actor but the movie lacked a perfect writer or director. Why was it set in Miami? Why was the entire thing just a standard revenge film? Why was he setting up an elaborate psychological plot instead of just killing the bad guys?
This short just goes to show that the problem was not Thomas Jane, but sadly that movie failing means everything about it has to go down with it.
Yup
I agree, it's basically doing a disney trying to appeal to the masses instead of doing the characters justice to make more money. Thomas Jane was amazing as punisher, he was the reason I was so interested in the character. if you play the punisher game with his voice, you are set!!!
When it was made the big studios had a different view of comic book movies and their potential success. Now after The marvel disney movies the industry has changed dramatically. I would love to see Tomas Jane again, but we have Bernthal and netflix now and we are stuck with it.
A mix between warzone and 2004 will be perfect. Bernthal is cool btw

Never heard of this movie. Might have to check it.
Steve Campbell Aha! Ok thanks for that.
Every time I watch this, my mind SCREAMS for another Punisher movie with Thomas Jane! He was absolutely fantastic in The Expanse!
Thomas Jane is the best Punisher to me. I love the Netflix series with Jon Bernthal, but Thomas Jane show us, is love for the character when he made this short in 2012, his movie was very good considering that he only had a budget of 35 million. He refused to appear in the sequel (Punisher: War Zone) because he did not like the script and because he was angry about the budget reduction. He was right because that movie fared worse at the box office and in criticism than in The Punisher (2004). He decided to make this short film as a sign of affection for the character.
As someone who personally prefers Bernthal's punisher, it's great to see someone who prefers Jane's and still respects Bernthal's. Respect bro
Just hoped that og styled punisher would appear on the multiverse.
Did not know that..first time I've seen it and it was awesome!
love how even Thomas Jane knows the writers fucked up the Punisher movies, so he made his own short film instead. Really goes to show you that knowing the source material and being a fan of it greatly benefits writing for an already existing character

Leave one arm. Leave just a little bit of hope.
Even him just getting out the van is awesome.
Damn, I'd pay good money to see another hour and a half of that.
with all bullshit on theaters right now I would be happy to pay triple to see an old school movie like this
@@gustavopaz1804 I PAY QUADRUPLE THE PRICE!!!!
It would be a fantastic opening sequence to a Punisher movie, that's for sure.
@Knox2Don as i said an old school movie no more than 2 hours it makes more intense compact movie without all that stuffing bullshit
YES SIr YES SIR
best punisher ever, but also really believable bad guys. actors, costumes everyone did a reeeeeally good job here.
This man is real Frank Castle! Real Punisher!
Jon Bernthal does a great job as Punisher too for Netflix. I think Thomas Jane is more silent and stoic but Bernthal is more brutal and you can see how hurt he is by the PTSD of the war, his family etc.
Bernthal can stay in wd
They're both equally good.
