shall we continue the Fanboy ranting.....
Number Six:/Five:
Dolph Lungren...(now this is going to have to be a double whammy as he equally sucked in
Masters of the Universe....
I dunno, maybe the role of Ivan Drago (ROCKY IV)ruined ( and started) his career, but the main prblem is that Dolph seems to only have one aspect of his acting personality . In every film he is in he seems to always have that..."I must break you..." look on his face.
There was not even a hint of a clue that Prince Adam/He-Man was gay! (which if you watch the cartoon you can see that he CLEARLY was!)
The same dry, dull, monotone acting that was also in Universal Soldier,
but I suppose that w as ok, I mean he IS supposed to be a Zombie soldier after all..
Quite frankly, the action figure as more acting ability than Dolph does............
Now the first Punisher movie....
Born in New York to parents of Italian ancestry, Francis Castiglione is a
former U.S. Marine Captain. Before Frank joined the Marines, he was
studying to become a Catholic priest but changed his mind because he was
unable to forgive those who did evil. Also prior to his enlistment, he
married his wife Maria who was already pregnant with their first child.
During his time in the United States Marine Corps (USMC), Castle
graduated from Basic Training, then went on to Infantry School.
Immediately following that, he went through the USMC's Reconnaissance,
Force Reconnaissance, and Sniper Schools. Attaining dockets, Castle was
permitted to go through U.S. Army Airborne School, and U.S. Navy
Underwater Demolition Team training, becoming qualified as a Navy Seal
(Sea, Air and Land). He served in the Vietnam War in a special forces
unit as a point man. For heroism in the line of duty, he was decorated
with numerous medals, including the Purple Heart.
Shortly after a tour in Vietnam, Castle, his wife, Maria and their
children were in New York's Central Park for an afternoon picnic when
they witnessed a Mafia gangland execution; an informant had been hanged
from a tree. Seeking to eliminate all witnesses, the Costa crime family
murdered them on the spot. However, Castle survived.
Even though Frank was able to identify all of the shooters the police
were unable to help Castle in his quest for justice; they were tied in
too deeply to the powerful Costa family. He decided that the only
punishment criminals might receive is that of physical destruction.
Shortly thereafter, he emblazoned his body armor with a symbol of a
death's head, and exacted his revenge. Since then he has waged a one-man
war upon crime, taking the name Punisher.....
and Dolph Lungren was the best choice?..........riiiiiiiiiight...
Aside from the fact that this movie was just plain awful...The cheese factor in it was a bit much....leaving knives with skulls on them as your calling card? And again Dolph cant pull off this kind of character...
Now HOLLYWOOD attempted to try to redeem themselves with a Punisher reeboot starring Tom Jane...but the altered some of the origin (which I have never understood why this happens so often in Comicbook Films) and i am sorry, he is a little too pretty....
HOLLYWOOD got it right finally with Ray Stevenson and PUNISHER WAR ZONE!
The first like 20 minutes of this film the Punisher doesn't even speak! He just kicks ass!!
