Or whatever they decided to call him this time... Vigilante Cop.

Just a heads up, the movie hits theaters at 1:45 AM next Tuesday. A real prime-time slot.

P.S.

This is that old '89 version of The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren. Don't let anyone trick you into thinking this is some modern cinematic masterpiece.

Like I said, it's from '89—easily one of the best years for movies.
If you don't know, the Punisher is basically a fascist take on Batman who decided to spend the rest of his life hunting down anyone with an Italian accent living in New York City.
They throw some ninjas into the mix too, but since the Punisher isn't a bigot, he takes them out just the same.

The stats show that Dolph kills over 180 criminals in this flick. Honestly, after James Bond, he’s probably the bloodiest actor in history.

Enjoy.

"If society refuses to deliver justice, he’ll take matters into his own hands!"

I feel like the old title hit much harder: The Punisher! Remember those good old days when you could find a copy of this movie in just about any local video rental shop?

There’s something about watching a scene like Castle stepping out of an elevator and systematically taking down those villains that just feels right.👍

Man, oh man.

In five years of fighting crime, the Punisher took out 125 people. Then, in just fifteen minutes of this movie, he mows down 180... and does it with flair.

The ninja community spent the next few years trying to recover from that onslaught. If they ever actually did.

Looking back at how sharply the number of ninja movies plummeted during the 90s, I get the feeling it never really bounced back...

And then you have the skeptics claiming Dolph never actually played a major role in human history...

Don't even get me started on how that whole ninja genocide basically wiped out the careers of Dudikoff and Bradley!

I wouldn't go quite so far as to say they actually had careers.
Fine, Dudikoff.

Bradley... 😁
