Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThomas Jane was originally attached for the lead role, but he turned it down, stating that he thought the script was going in the wrong direction. He felt it was too "comic book," whereas he wanted a more gritty, realistic approach. And then in 2012 Thomas Jane made the short "dirty laundry" where he depicts the punisher almost exactly like the way Ray Stevenson depicted him in this film.
- Goofs(at around 59 mins) While killing Pittsy, Punisher is clearly holding a dummy, not a real girl.
- Quotes
Priest: God be with you, Frank.
Frank Castle: Sometimes I would like to get my hands on God.
- Alternate versionsGerman retail video version was cut by approx. 1 minute to secure a "Not under 18" rating. The uncut version was released with a SPIO/JK approval but can be sold only with restrictions.

Featured review
I love this gory wild action extravaganza! Ray Stephenson, Dominic West, and Doug Hutchinson are all great! I like how theirs a bunch that don't like Punisher: War Zone and others that love it. The action sequences are a bit whacky and I admit their is some poor characters otherwise I absolutely love the bulk of the film plus any part with Doug Hutchinson is fantastic. I need to own everything Punisher related at some point I'm a fan of it all.
