Trivia[]
- This version of the Punisher does not seem to use any kind of transportation to get around the city, and presumably runs around on foot. (the '89 film version used a motorcycle and the 2004 film version used a modified Gto)
- Director Lexi Alexander was actually against using the trademark skull on Frank's costume. However, fans wanted it to be more prominent than it was in the 2004 film. She described this design as "pre-schoolish" in an interview and eventually compromised with a degraded and worn skull image (similar to the 2004 movie). The skull was so faded and barely visible that it went almost entirely unnoticed by some who saw the movie.
