History

Frank Castle is the Punisher, a violent vigilante. At some point, he is forced to team-up with a Mafia leader to save this one's children from a Yakuza gang.[1]

Notes

  • A sequel titled The Punisher II was planned, but it never entered production. At that time Dolph Lungren was in talks to reprise his role of Frank Castle, and filming was expected to begin in May 1991.[2]
  • In 1990, Marvel Comics released Punisher Movie Special #1, a one-shot adaptation of the film. Although it follows the plot of the movie, there are a number of inconsistencies, so it takes place in an alternate, currently undesignated reality. Notably, the Punisher is seen wearing his iconic suit with a skull symbol, while the film is famous for its absence.
  • In 1993, an unauthorized novelization of the film by an unidentified author under the pen name Andrew Nixon was released in Russia as part of the Hollywood Bestsellers book series.
