I hope this role was played by the WWF's Honky-Tonk Man.
also, i thought it was just the punisher's wife and kid who get killed! no! the baddies corner him at a freaking FAMILY REUNION and off his entire extended family--cousins, uncles, grandparents, everyone!!!
That's kinda hilarious. Reminds me of King Ralph.

So was there ANY talk of Punisher: War Zone on here beyond that link just above?
The classic piece on it:

(I found the Blu-Ray for a buck. That was a good purchase.)
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 15 April 2012 00:44 (twelve years ago) link
I watched War Zone a couple days ago! Such ridiculously over-the-top comedic violence and some inspired casting in some parts.

Great piece

this makes no sense whatsoever
“I don’t know if anybody knows this, but when the person at Marvel was instructed to send me an entire box of Punisher comics I guess they printed it with only three colors. What I got wasn’t actually the real interpretation of what the comic books looked like, I just got the fucking cheap copies. So when I looked at that I said to my DP, ‘We should go with this, stick to the three color mode and make it look like the comic book’. It was only later I think someone in Kevin Feige’s office said, ‘Oh, we just printed them in the cheapest manner possible.’”
it was cheaper to do a single, one-copy print run of each of a hundred or so individual issues (assuming a Diamond shipping box) in Los Angeles, and leave out one colour, than to have New York send her inventory copies, or to go out and buy back issues or paperbacks? and despite this initial error she later had the production designers refer to an Ennis collection for the look, but told them to ignore the correct colours in their reference, in favour of an error that they hadn't seen?
(one could imagine, given the period, a boxful of Tim Bradstreet covers being mistaken for a limited-palette printing error... but the tone of the film is obviously inspired by the Ennis run, and the humour of it suggests she definitely read the Dillon issues)

I think it's a remembering over time of how they did color choice. The Ennis series had a stylized color palette and it sounds like they echoed that. Found an extra from the dvd that seems to talk about it:

― mh, Wednesday, 5 December 2018 21:09 (five years ago) link
if I had to guess: she took flak at the time from the studio for the color choices, she mentioned that they made it look like the reference books (which were stylized) and Feige or someone in his office tried to brush it off as "oh, we print those cheaply" as a way of diminishing her choice
― mh, Wednesday, 5 December 2018 21:12 (five years ago) link
imo the color schemes in the movie work well and aren't at all atypical when compared to other stylized comic adaptations that have followed!
