***FYI THIS IS A FAN FILM I MADE, NOT HOLLYWOOD***

~~Due to internet compression, this film might appear darker than it really is.~~

The year is 1979. New York city has become a breeding ground for junkies, prostitutes and gang violence. And in the wake of a new decade of chaos, The Punisher stands firm in his one man war on crime. But there are some who pay anything for a man like Frank Castle to disappear. And it is those people, who have hired Jigsaw.

A WORD FROM CHRIS

Punisher'79 was shot in one day in a club located in the Bronx. The reason why I chose to set the film in 1979 was because I felt that was probably the only era where the Punisher and his actions of "kill em all and let God sort the rest out" were most acceptable. Frank Castle will never be as tough if he's not a Vietnam vet. That was where he was created. That is the world he loves- war. The Punisher is basically Marvel's Rambo, in my opinion at least. And he is only happy when he is fighting a war as I think he feels that's really the only thing he's good for.

That being said, I wanted to do something different and original with the Punisher. I didn't want to make a fan film where he was morning yet again over his dead family, I didn't want to do Punisher Begins and I certainly didn't want to do a movie where he is just a mindless trigger happy brute killing thugs left and right with no signs of humanity. Sure, the Punisher is a killing machine, but he isn't Crying Freeman, I think he takes pleasure from time to time in what he does and in a twisted way doesn't want to have to stop. He's almost looking for an excuse to kill. And in my film, I wanted to put the Punisher in a scene where he basically treated himself to a body count as well as to show fans that Punisher is also a real dick when he wants to be. He's rude, insulting and a general wise ass when he wants to be. And it's those charming characteristics that were the driving force behind this film. I hope you liked it.

  • @Kersey475 i like garth, but i dont live or die by him. i like what ive brought to punisher which is what youve described. the sociopath who uses the death of his family as an excuse to keep of fighting. i like that angle and his dark sense of humor. to me castle is soldier without a war to fight and needs a reason to keep going. and i think thats a cool aspect. he's like dexter. he needs to kill but wont kill innocent people.

  • I flat out love this and Punisher 80,

    The fact that this is EXACTLY on the fucking money the way a Punisher film

    should be, and then looking at Hollywood's three I suppose entertaining, but still very failed attempts, makes me pretty sad inside.

    There's a very Death Wish/The Exterminator feel to this and 80,

    and I believe that's exactly what a live action Punisher needs to feel like,

    like an Exploitation film, not just a generic action movie.

see all

  • BEATELS KICK ASS

  • Wow this is right on the money

  • Lol, frank really has a good sense of humour here, I like it! I hate it when he just remains silent all the time

  • Ironically, that version of "My Way" wasn't released on vinyl. It was a bootleg.

  • It's amazing what a great mind can do with afew bucks. You are a brilliant writer and I'll be praying everyday that you someday make it big. I want to see what you can do with a decent budget. CALLING ALL CATHOLICS PRAY FOR THIS MAN!!!

  • Outstanding! Great acting, pretty good lighting, great use of Rorschach like off sequences, extraordinary good acting, dialogue and voice talent (for a fan film!!!). Nice little story. Thanks for a job well done!

  • @blinky500 well what do i go to on there to look at shot guns
