Harry Heck vs Frank Castle | The Punisher (2004)

[@diligentsun1154]

Deserves WAY More credit than it got. Same with 'Hulk' and 'Daredevil' Great films.

[@PostPatriot1978]

Lol! It was a good movie, but not that good. When it was in theaters, they ran it untill they were practically giving away tickets (after two weeks) and here it is. It was well done, but not the skull shirted vigilante long time fans wanted. Thomas Jane didn't fit the character as well as John Bernthal has and the movie was just a glimpse into the Punisher series and reminded fans more of a Quentin Tarantino movie than the Punisher. This may as well have been another shoot 'em up movie.

[@hoodrichent4660]

This film was extremely underrated, I remember when I was a kid and it came out the critics bashed it to hell. It was very dark for anything marvel related at the time. I really loved how they made all these fly by hitmen have unique stand out qualities, this guy with the guitar and the Russian. Not to mention Thomas Jane portrayed The Punisher perfectly.

[@crashfan9997]

It was ahead of its time. One year before Batman Begins. Similar story with Timothy Dalton's Bond movies, they were too dark for the 80s but they were awesome gritty movies. At times I feel like Nolan got lucky.

[@peacemaster8117]

When this film came out I remember it being slammed for NOT being dark enough. At the time I hadn't read many Punisher comics, but having read them now.. yeah, this ain't Punisher. It's an alright goofy action movie, but it doesn't deserve to be a Punisher movie.

[@r_r_rye2441]

The two hitmen were the cherry on top of this fantastic movie. The idea of a contract killer that composes a ballad for every one of his victims in implausible but awesome. Then the Russian who only kills with his bare hands and insists that the fight be "fair". I love the part where Castle goes for his hideaway gun and the Russian smashes the barrel with a dumbbell. Not only does it perfectly illustrate the hitman's professional philosophy but it's a great joke/reversal on the Chekhov's Gun principle.

[@yuhyuh7603]

Indubitably good sir!

[@wh3nderson95]

I did not notice that for the Chekhov's gun narrative tool being blunted and the comedic payoff was great. The fight scene between the Punisher and the Russia was awesome.

[@boonkietime4239]

Read the Ma Gnucci saga. It follows up with alot. Ma Gnucci is probably his BEST villain. And there is a hitman he can't kill because they both are equal: Barracuda.

[@scottlawton9459]

Also, they hired Mark Collie, an actual country singer for Harry Heck, and Kevin Nash, a famous professional wrestler who was one of the original members of the nWo, to play The Russian. Both men’s “day jobs” shine in their scenes.

The Punisher game for Playstation has Thomas Jane voice act. He does it even better than the movie.

[@madunwagbo4769]

To be fair Bernthal did say that Jane was a real inspiration for him when doing the role. My only gripe with the Jane version (which was also a gripe with Stevenson’s as well) was that they didn’t film it in New York. But at least Stevenson’s was set there (even though you could clearly see it was filmed somewhere in Canada). But check out the unofficial Jane short story, “Dirty Laundry”

[@largol33t1]

A sequel WAS in the works but, incredibly, the money people got into a fight over who could direct, who could produce, etc. The final nail in the coffin (but I don't blame him) was when Thomas Jane got tired of the bickering and dropped out of the sequel project.

[@largol33t1]

PS: even if a sequel gets approved, I won't watch it unless Thomas Jane agrees to return as Frank.

[@SlasherIncorporated]

They tried to, but Jane pulled out because he didn’t like the direction the sequel was going in and the fact that the studio cut the budget and turned down a director he thought was a great fit. So they replaced him with Ray Stevenson and the sequel morphed into Punisher: Warzone. If you haven’t already seen it, check out the short fan film, “Dirty Laundry”. Jane reprised his role as The Punisher. That’s the closest we’ll ever get to a sequel with his version of the character.

The Punisher was so badass

[@theragoooverlord5021]

Seeing several versions of the character on screen now but this remains the the best.

[@samkeller5823]

There’s one time years ago when I was talking down the street in a Punisher jacket, and a man (who may have been homeless) walked up to me and started signing the song. I joined in and started singing it with him.

[@rodnstaff33]

sweet!

[@DEAN_23]

4:40 Well, that was some stabbing criticism....

[@andrebastos5635]

Killer scene this cat looks like Johnny cash 🤘🏻 truly great scene

[@ryujisusapphire9511]

Harry Heck and John Pilgrim are literally the best rivals for Frank Castle.

[@jamessm4401]

If you want more Thomas Jane as the punisher, the best you’re going to get is the short bootleg film called dirty laundry.

[@cwolf201]

I asked (one long standing Punisher writer) Steven Grant on twitter one year which punisher movie he thought had the best portrayal. He said. Thomas Jane. The writing was horrible of course but that wasn't Thomas's fault. Thomas Jane was the closest to who he thought punisher should be.

I love a impersonator who can actually sing with their own voice too.

Frank: I didn't catch your name. Harry: Puts the case up Frank: Sorry I can't read that's why I live Down South Harry: What ? Frank: Your name is what

Tommy J! We love you out here, brother. Rest well, O.G.

EXTREMELY underrated movie

[@jimmyreece5781]

Who underrated it?

[@crashfan9997]

@@jimmyreece5781 It's not praised like a superhero classic like the Raimi Spider-Man movies. It also didn't make as much money as it should have.

[@pyaeger911]

This is still one of my fave movies of all time.

[@wayneenterprises9706]

I love this movie too

[@NDTexan]

Given what some comic book movies have become this one actually aged decently well. For my money this was probably the coolest scene though.

[@redhood16x3]

Crazy how later this would be used for The Undertaker

[@TerenceDrunkenMasta]

All the punishers are great. But Thomas Jane is the best for me, word up! 👍👍

[@coreytimm482]

An Awesome actor for an Awesome movie!!

[@IrishAndroid]

0:47 The continuity error with the cigarette is great. He puts his cigarette between his ring and pinkie fingers, then it appears back in his mouth and then back between his fingers without time to make the switch. Also the amount of cuts it took to do that was too fast and a little jarring, imo.

[@OVianense]

By far one of the best superhero films I have ever watched especially character where you can't help but constantly feel for him and what he's going to do next. Like the theme itself is inspiring. It makes you feel REALITY. It makes you feel for how justice isn't always there and sometimes you gotta take things into your hands. Such an underrated actor and movie as well. Like I honestly can't believe that at the time, this movie got so much undeserved hate. Like Thomas Jane played him perfectly, the emotion, the voice, EVERYTHING. Even the soundtrack itself, is amazing and even as I'm writing this I'm listening too it. 5/5. This has been a movie I've always wanted to watch since childhood since I've always seen clips of it, and loved it and I finally got the chance to watch it, like is it just me or are superhero movies from the 2000s always good and way better than the ones there are now. Like this movie relates to everything there is today, especially the justice system there is today and of course whats happened with pandemic and the war we have today where the justice system and governments simply don't listen too you. Like this just shows how amazing Stan Lee's creativity was to make superhero like these, not only that but the Punisher is the only superhero or anti hero you could say, that doesn't even have powers and still puts up a great fight and takes down everyone with just pure skill, talent, and everything he's got. Like if you look at most Marvel heroes and villains, they mostly have superpowers or something, but him, he was just a average person like us, who served, became elite, and had to take things into his own hands because of how the justice system doesn't always help you, or punish those. You gotta take things into your own hands. There's honestly so much to say about the film and I don't really want to spoil it since its just amazing. Like I'm speechless, and out of words to say because there's just so MUCH to say about it and how to describe it. You really gotta watch it for yourself to understand it, feel it, and everything.

[@crashfan9997]

You're not alone. The Punisher, The Dark Knight trilogy and the Spider-Man Raimi trilogy are my favourite superhero movies and they're all 2000s movies too (except for The Dark Knight Rises in 2012 but that's still a favourite).

[@blank557]

That was John Pinette at the counter! Love that guy! Makes---well, sadly he passed away, made me laugh to tears.

[@11Bbq]

They don’t make comic book movies like this anymore. It’s got style.

[@connorstandingready6312]

Me: Mom, can we get Johnny Cash? Mom: We have Johnny Cash at home. Johnny Cash at home:

[@BlackHeart-ph3cg]

I love how he makes like a gta character and steals his car at the end

[@UltraKryptonian]

I loved that ballad! I bought the CD after hearing this.

[@BrianWalters-ei7sd]

Harry Heck: "You like that song? I wrote that for you." The Punisher: "I'm gonna sing it at your funeral." Harry Heck: "What?" The Punisher: "What?"

[@Squimd]

Rebecca! Such a beautiful lady.

Jerry O’Connell

[@marlonquintana3466]

@Cat Lover so? He got game and got what he wanted.

[@RC2000WEST]

Little known fact: Harry Heck was a huge Harry Potter fan... as seen in the font selection on his guitar case

[@siddharthabhuyan1531]

To me The Punisher will always be Thomas Zane. This movie was amazingly good.

[@veteranfoodlover2515]

The battle between these two was too short! I love the feeling of these two fighting it out. Punisher should have gotten away and so they could have a second fight. I love this movie.

[@twstf8905]

He got himself a MUCH better car lol although the GTO was pretty awesome 👍

[@Sickofsociety1]

Beautiful Roadrunner.

[@notsoinvisiblelibra]

He got a damn good voice

[@master-of-mind5881]

When my man grabs his throat, the way it’s edited in quick-cut fashion I died. Who’s dumb now? 🤣😂😂😂😂

[@everstray7482]

Castle's revenge in this movie was on point. Thomas Jane is great too.

[@dustinlevy7870]

Wow, that Dart Super Stock is sick
