An Opinion No One Will Agree With.

[Donal DeLay]

Stallone, if he wasn't as recognizable and iconic as he is - if he was an unknown - would be a great Punisher.

Garth Ennis Max version. Older, but still well built with a beat up face and sad/pissed glare in his eyes.

Too bad he's not 6'

[WillieLee]

Too bad he's not 5'7".

[Thommy Melanson]

He was The Punisher...in the 1986 movie "Cobra".

if he was younger too.
like, if he made the movie in 1983 or something.

you're being kind

[Donal DeLay]

like, if he made the movie in 1983 or something. The Garth Ennis MAX version, to me, seems older. Like in his mid-to-late 50s.

i'm not so sure that would work in a movie though.
although he almost sorta kinda made it work in rocky balboa. so who knows.

I, in fact, do agree with you.

Of course I also think the Punisher blows.

It works in a comic, but not in a movie?

I don't see a difference. Both tell visual stories and involve a lot of suspension of disbelief.

i think it worked in the comic because the character had been been around for awhile and had been built up into this unstoppable superhero type force. in a movie you don't have that going in.

My first and only encounter with Punisher in comics so far has been the MAX series. They did a good job of telling the origin, and making him seem unstoppable and feared.

In one graphic novel.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

I think he'd make a great Punisher.

why not?

People watched old Charles Bronson running around and kicking ass for years.

[Thudpucker]

Yes, he would.

He'd have also made a good Judge Dread if he had left the damn helmet on :-x

[Howlett]

Yes, he would.

Correction dude, he would have BEEN Judge Dredd if he'd left the helmet on :lol:

And I also agree, Stallone would've been a damn good Punisher. Hell, if they'd cast him in the original version, I think that movie could've been passable.

[Mister Mets]

Didn't Garth Ennis pick Stallone to play the Punisher in a Wizard casting call a few years back?

So someone agrees with you.

[The Cheap-Arse Film Critic]

Yes, he would.

He'd have also made a good Judge Dread if he had left the damn helmet on :-x

All that build up, the hype around, "OMG!11!1 Dredds tking of his sasc!!!1"

And then he did, and he looked just like Sylvester Stallone.

[Bedlam66]

The guy who played Marv in Sin City would make a Better Max Punisher.

[kylethoreau]

Mickey Rourke?


and yeah I could see it.....too

and why is everyone still pissed about the Dredd helmet thing? That was the LEAST of that films problems (the tops being Rob "I'll never work with Mel" Schneider...yeah like Gibson's cryin over that one....

where was I?

[Thommy Melanson]

>ahem<

Cobra.

That's Stallone as Frank Castle.

[THWIP!]

I agree with you. He just needs a different voice.

[greg donovan]

Yes, he would.

He'd have also made a good Judge Dread if he had left the damn helmet on :-x

i juste rewatched that movie a few weeks ago. it wasnt all that bad of a flick and had a really great cast. the rob schneider stuff really throws me for a loop though.
