I kept tabs on it until it's VHS release and snatched it up the day it came out. robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-18127192699658648872012-12-17T11:45:04.837-08:002012-12-17T11:45:04.837-08:00A question for aficionados. Was the 1989 Punisher ...A question for aficionados. Was the 1989 Punisher released in U.S. theaters or did it go straight to video. I seem to recall seeing trailers showing it to be released in theaters but there are a lot of folks claiming it didn't go to theaters. Also, the only online source of information I can find on it is Wikipedia which isn't a reliable source. Thanks guys!<br /><br />AndrulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-61111723182404853652012-03-03T09:17:19.202-08:002012-03-03T09:17:19.202-08:00I don't why this movie was given a hard time e...I don't why this movie was given a hard time either, because at worst it's a straight-ahead actioner with no shortage of entertainment value. One thing that frustrated me was how the DVD was out of print after the Thomas Jane flick was released. Like you said, there are things to like in all of them, and this isn't like some of the other bad comic book movies that plagued marvel in the past. I've noticed after War Zone that The Punisher is a property they've stayed away from for a while, which is too bad. A series of gritty DTV actioners shot in Detroit would be perfect for this franchise.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-44211336789573646432011-09-28T19:16:20.183-07:002011-09-28T19:16:20.183-07:00Showdown in Little Tokyo, one of my favorite Dolph...Showdown in Little Tokyo, one of my favorite Dolph flicks ever. <br />And Army of One.

I'm in no hurry, I just wanted to get a fresh take on this one before I got the workprint version. :)<br />And yea, stylistically I liked War Zone as I thought Stevenson most looked like him and they even had Chip, which was awesome. I don't know, I felt it had a really strong beginning, but got really tedious and unimpressive in the second half. I should revisit it again though. <br /><br />As far as land of the free goes, man you'd be surprised how much stuff is unavailable to us. lol. I can't explain it. It all has to do with who owns the rights and who wants to make the most money and all that crap.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-17743429124051184122011-09-27T04:54:25.466-07:002011-09-27T04:54:25.466-07:00Punisher is coming...i hate how long mail takes th...Punisher is coming...i hate how long mail takes these days, really. the rest must wait til Friday-paypday... i am honestly amazed that there is no unrated version available in the US-the land of the free. you need good ol germany to do it for ya,lol...i personally prefer the Punisher -War Zone, but this is a great action movie, for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
