Could’ve just hired some regular hitman with a shotgun and it would’ve been over in 2 seconds but Howard has to be the dramatic crime boss and hired the Russian
Btw for those who didnt know, there was a misstake and the knife with wich he stabs the russian was actually a real one. Kevin Nash is such a unit that he was stabbed for real, and still continued acting. This isnt fake blood, that take was so perfect that they ended up keeping it, the face he makes is the face that chad of an actor actually makes when getting stabbed
I don't know what would've scared Thomas Jane more in that moment.. the fact he just stabbed Kevin with a real knife, or the fact that Kevin just stood there and smiled at him like it was nothing.
It wasn’t a real knife it was one of those knives were if you stab something the metal or plastic blade goes into the handle they’re usually never sharp but this one got jammed so he ended up straight up stabbing him My bad I guess I was wrong
@@colecaldwell4278 Na, it was a real knife. The prop guy forgot to switch it out and no one told them. It was a real butterfly knife. You can see what a fake one looks like right after, because a fake one is what they used on Thomas Jane to "stab" him back. Don't know how I didn't notice it when I was younger. The knife completely changes after the cut.
The fact that they referenced this movie in Deadpool & Wolverine is mindblowing. They didn't even bring the same Russian actor but they still, it's not completely forgotten.

Thank God this fight was shot in 2004 and not 2024 or the Russian would be a blonde black transman midget. And castle would be a alpha, Chinese, Jewish than converting to Muslim they em wearing a pink toto while being a menace to south central while drinking his juice In da protesting hood
One of the best fight scenes I ever saw, it's hilarious & terrifying at the same time. The hero fighting for his life, but with all his skill & creativity, doesn't stand a chance against this "monster". Only because he's so tough, and with sheer luck, he barely manages to beat him. And the music fits perfectly, whenever it slows down a bit & starts again with the main theme, it's like: Round 1 knife, Round 2 grenade, Round 3 gun. It structures their entire fight, so damn hilarious. Who ever came up with this awesome scene, and made it so memorable - the writers, director, camera, stunt coordinator, music coordinator, and of course the actors - they worked so well together, they all deserve an award.
Why does no one talk about how Kevin Nash actually was able to pick him up with no wires or nothing or how Kevin actually got stabbed during this fight?
@Uxiversal DBS Yes! They both did almost all of their own stunts for this scene. There was a cock-up and Kevin Nash was stabbed by a real knife instead of a prop one, he didn’t even realise. (This is the take used in the fight)
brilliant. so well balanced between the actual fighting and humor and everything. miss this level of creativity in movies. Thomas Jane is an underrated actor I think. The Mist was another awesome one of his.
@@jacksmith-mu3ee And at 3:25 when Jane gets thrown through the wall, he gets a concussion from smashing his head off the wall. Just an absolute brutal scene but one of the best ever on film IMO.
My favorite part of that scene is the grenade. The way he returns it back to sender is just hilarious. Great editing. A lesser director might have slowed down the footage.
Props to Thomas Jane, if I knew I had to fight Kevin Nash (even in a hollywood film) I'd of backed out immediately. Props to Kevin Nash for taking a knife in the shoulder and staying in character, two true badasses.
What is shocking is very little of this was faked. He really did throw Thomas Jane through the wall, although it was of course, a breakaway wall for safety reasons. No wonder it's so raw and chilling...
@@largol33t1 Thomas Jane was the one that told Nash to throw him, and not his stunt double, and to do it as hard as possible. He felt really bad about actually stabbing Nash for real and wanted to make it up to him by letting Nash throw him through a wall.
Fun fact, when the punisher stabbed the Russian, that actually happened. And the guy stayed in character. What happened was the prop guy forgot to switch the fake knife and the real knife and to really show you how dedicated the Russian was to staying in character is that it wasn't a sharp knife... it was blunt and it still went in him 😂 the dudes a legend
Yeah, it was a blunt knife as well. But what I find SO fucking badass... is that Nash (The Russian) didn't even realise he'd been stabbed. AND upon finding out he had, he'd just asked for super glue, glued the wound shut, and carried on as well. But there's another thing. The producers were shocked at how strong AND FAST nash was. They were considering using a harness for Thomas Jane when nash picks him up. What happens? Nash ACTUALLY PICKED THOMAS JANE UP EASILY...
@@mjpraetorian4386 To be fair, and I'm not saying this to discredit Nash's toughness I'm sure he's extremely tough, but being stabbed can sometimes go totally unnoticed. It just seems to kill the nerves in a way that you don't always notice especially if you AREN'T expecting to be stabbed. I dropped a knife into my foot a few months ago and didn't even think it hit my foot until the pain got worse and worse and only then did I realize the knife fell and stabbed me. Then my uncle knew a guy who got stabbed in the arm while horsing around with a friend and genuinely didn't realize it until his friend told him he thought he'd stabbed him by accident. But still, it does start to hurt before long.
I love Frank's expression at 1:35. When you whap someone upside the head with a pry bar at full force and it doesn't even faze them, it's time to be scared.
Now THIS is how you do a fight scene without any stupid jokes like in the MCU. The juxtaposition of Castle fighting for his life with the neighbors dancing to opera across the way made me laugh to begin with, and the small comedic moments like the Russian batting the grenade back into the bathroom and crushing the barrel of the revolver with a weight was funny as well. Not to mention when they finally crash into the other apartment when the song ends, that was good too. I always loved this movie for shit like this.
@@kkk-jp3zx still not better. This is a masterpiece and always will be. The series is good but this is as good as it gets. The movie is literally made to perfection
2:30 Major props to Thomas Jane and the entire sound crew for maybe the best “guy gets his shit absolutely rocked” sound effect that I’ve ever heard. 😂
The funny part of all of this.... That was a real stabbing. The prop guy forgot to swap the real knife for a prop. Kevin Nash got stabbed for real and didn't break character. As a way to atone for it, Thomas Jane didn't use a stunt man and had Nash throw him through the wall.
Just think if Thomas Jane missed that shoulder and it went closer to a vital area or if the stunt director "thinking it was a fake knife like it should have been" had told him to stab him closer to a vital area to make the Russian seem even more unstoppable.....
This must be the most underrated movie of all time, Thomas Jane is the true The Punisher, like how Wesley Snipes is Blade or Tobey Maguire Spider-Man all born for the roles but forgotten by time, I speak for all of us who are born in early 90s and love this movies, time has flied so fast.
@ aLn I agree those guys are completely underrated and definitely played the roles really well. Old marvel was really in it's heyday in terms for awesome choices for picking Snipes, Maguire, and Jane to play these badass characters.
The Russian bending the gun with the dumbbell and Frank just looks at it with that "c'mon REALLY?" defeated look, never fails to make me laugh. What a gem fight scene.
@@superchargerhell65 Yep, that's why there are so many times where he could easily just snap Frank's neck and end the fight, but he decided to keep it going anyway.
Probably to see what he was physically capable of. Plus, in the video game on PS2 it states in the bio the Russian likes to "play" with his prey, just for fun.
The part where he smashes the barrel of the revolver with a random dumbbell and Frank Castle just looks at the gun and then up at him like “wtf, really?” 😂
I love this fight. It has an Indiana Jones vibe to it, especially the part where he smashes the gun with a free weight. Just reminds me of a Harrison Ford reaction when he stares at it.
I think, honestly, Frank could not win this fight, he just got luck. The Russian totally beats Frank in terms of strength, durability and particularly, this fight.
That is the greatness of Punisher. Although he is an assassin, he can beat a lot of criminals, fighting crime and seems to be a hero being actually a simple man with weapons but any superpower and risking his own life putting in death danger many times. Punisher style action is not supremacy or superiority, is survival.
@@MalaGTOW i know bro, i understand your idea. I don't underestimate Frank, but sometimes, we need to look at reality without the perspective of directors or overating the character. Heroes or antiheroes, sometimes need to be fallen, they should not win forever.
@@travistucker1033 In the comics Frank used Bumpo (John Pinette's character) to smother the Russian to death after throwing the boiling water in his face
This is in my top 5 favorite fight scenes. It has a beautiful flow to it with the music, the brutality, and the comedy. The Punisher (2004) is a very underrated movie.
It’s just a slow movie and is a little bloated. I wouldn’t even say it was bad back then I’d even say as far as super hero movies go this one has some strong moments.
@@mohammed-od3fp I just watched an interview with the guy and he told he got literally stabbed. I was amazed that he didnt even blink while getting stabbed.
0:25 I'm blown away that Kevin Nash was legit stabbed handle deep with a dull butterfly knife and continued with the fight. What a legend! Edit: Look up "Kevin Nash stabbed" for more info. Edit: Idiots are still calling me a liar. Yes, they would have stopped to take care of it, but then he went on with the scene and that's crazy. Look it up. "Kevin Nash Stabbed".
@@sebansasthamkunnel1027 Look up "Kevin Nash stabbed" for more info. He talks about it in an interview. They didn't even talk about it in the behind the scenes video for the scene, but he went into detail in that interview. It's really interesting.
Because “Welcome Back, Frank,” the comic the movie is partially based on is part of the source material, I cracked up at this scene when I saw it in the theater. Especially the toilet scene.
@@NikkoNikkoYeet Like I know hey!! Like that actor just continued doing his job too and he has been stabbed in real life.. like I hope they paid him well and he got the medical attention he needed hey!!
@@violet-kittychick Kevin settled for a cold drink after he sealed up the wound with Super Glue. Jane really felt bad for stabbing Nash and he let the big man throw him on the next shot which is also in the final cut alongside with the actual stabbing.
The fact Kevin Nash took a real knife to the shoulder and just continued, even started smiling. Makes him terrifying in real life. That knife was very Dull too
(Jim Ross) BAH GAWD! The strength of the Russian beating the holy hell out the Punisher! He hit that grenade like a baseball and-- GOOD LORD!! Did he just strike The Punisher with that toilet and repeatedly closed that fridge on his head?! That is absolutely ungodly!
Jim Ross "The Russian choke the life out of The Punisher, Punisher kicks him in his face and GOD ALMIGHTY, THE PUNISHER BURNS THE BIG MAN'S FACE WITH A BOILING OIL AND... OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD HE SPEARS THE RUSSIAN ALL THE WAY TO HELL"
Jim Ross "IT'S OVER!!! IT'S OVER!!! BAH GAWD I don't believe it, The Punisher has just defeated Big Daddy Cool Russian, what a gutsy performance by maybe the BADDEST son of a bitch we've ever seen King!!!"
Such an iconic film, thats extremely underrated. With an amazing Cast, Storyline, Soundtrack, and messages I still have no clue why this gets so much hate, but all I know this is extremely under-rated and deserves so much more credit. An intense and comedic film, thats really worth watching. Legendary! ""Si vis pacem, para bellum - If you want peace, prepare for war."

But he doesn't see the pot with boiling liquid in it.... beats me.

@@luchogiacchino7002 Batman And Venom?
One of the best ever- fight from daredevil s.1, when he save the boy
The Russian bending the gun with the dumbbell and Frank just looks at it with that "c'mon REALLY?" defeated look, never fails to make me laugh. What a gem fight scene.
You just know they had a blast doing this fight scene 😊
I love how Frank Castle is getting his ass kicked while Ren and Stimpy are dancing around!
0:21 I love how the Russian just stands there and politely waits for Frank to kick him.
@@superchargerhell65 Yep, that's why there are so many times where he could easily just snap Frank's neck and end the fight, but he decided to keep it going anyway.
He even had politeness and manners in the fight, a deadly combo 😂
@@TheStapleGunKid he did it for the love of the pain
Probably to see what he was physically capable of. Plus, in the video game on PS2 it states in the bio the Russian likes to "play" with his prey, just for fun.
The part where he smashes the barrel of the revolver with a random dumbbell and Frank Castle just looks at the gun and then up at him like “wtf, really?” 😂
Whos here from deadpool and wolverine
Me ❤️💛
I love this fight. It has an Indiana Jones vibe to it, especially the part where he smashes the gun with a free weight. Just reminds me of a Harrison Ford reaction when he stares at it.
Yeah the scene with the huge German soldier beckoning Indy to come back him and Indy's like 'sheeeet okay hold your horses I'm coming.'
Dude wrote for young Indy
Michael France (not the director but a writer for this) also wrote Goldeneye and Cliffhanger. It had a solid production cast.
This scene remind me of terminator hahahaha
Also a James Bond vibe to it when James Bnd fought Jaws and other big strngmen in his films too numerous too mention.
I think, honestly, Frank could not win this fight, he just got luck. The Russian totally beats Frank in terms of strength, durability and particularly, this fight.
In the comics Frank was lucky to live through the fight.
That is the greatness of Punisher. Although he is an assassin, he can beat a lot of criminals, fighting crime and seems to be a hero being actually a simple man with weapons but any superpower and risking his own life putting in death danger many times.
Punisher style action is not supremacy or superiority, is survival.
@@MalaGTOW i know bro, i understand your idea. I don't underestimate Frank, but sometimes, we need to look at reality without the perspective of directors or overating the character. Heroes or antiheroes, sometimes need to be fallen, they should not win forever.
@@travistucker1033 In the comics Frank used Bumpo (John Pinette's character) to smother the Russian to death after throwing the boiling water in his face
They’re no rules in fighting. This is 2 men fighting outside a ring with no powers
wish they can go back to making good stuff like this again
3:18 the way he looks at the gun like "what the actual fuck?"
When the russian got stabbed, that was a real knife. Even worse was the fact that it was blunt and still went in.
I call bullshit
@@hongo3870 hrmmmm?.
@@hongo3870 who's bullshit , and why would you call them ?
This is in my top 5 favorite fight scenes. It has a beautiful flow to it with the music, the brutality, and the comedy. The Punisher (2004) is a very underrated movie.
Who hits a man with a toilet?! Also, I love that little beat where the Russian looks around like, "hmmm, what haven't I hit him with yet..."
Based 😂
I remember when people said this movie was bad. Standards were higher back then, now this would be considered a masterpiece if it came out in 2023
It’s just a slow movie and is a little bloated. I wouldn’t even say it was bad back then I’d even say as far as super hero movies go this one has some strong moments.
This was brutal and terrifying. Imagine having to fight someone like that.
or worse fighting someone like the Big Show, who would have just eaten you
@@pontiacGXPfan Big Show has kind heart!
I think someone like Jackie Chan or Jason Statham could defeat the big guy without much difficulty
@@NEStalgiain movies yes , in real life definitely no....best choice you can do is run away if you can .
more brutal when you realize that the russian actually got stabbed, it’s just that his actor somehow kept acting
The big Russian is Ivan Drago's brother.
Nah he is bigger than Ivan
@@Ahbed____ yes, but the guy looks just like Ivan Drago.
But it's very big, as big as the door
That russisan Aka kevin nash or Diesel is 2,10M big and Ivan 1,96M
isn't Dolph Lundren (Drago) actually from the former Soviet Union?
@@wendigo1619 It's Kevin Nash A.K.A The Russian
One of the great fights scenes ever!!
Howard Saint, you'll get your money back when you fix this damn door!
The producers on this film understood the assignment. When I was a kid reading comics this is EXACTLY what I wanted to see!
At least in this movie, Punisher did not have kill him with Bumpo the hippo’s pizza and suffocate tho.
0:30 That was a very real knife being stabbed into Kevin Nash's shoulder folks
For real?
@@mohammed-od3fp nope
@@mohammed-od3fp I just watched an interview with the guy and he told he got literally stabbed. I was amazed that he didnt even blink while getting stabbed.
I didn't know that so I'm sorry
@@mohammed-od3fp no problem
Didn't believe it myself either when i first heard about it
Deadpool and wolverine brought the russian back 😂
And he got stabbed once again
POV my big bro wants a chip and I say no
that whole fight scene never gets old
It’s weak af
@@thomasward2794 it's real dumbass, even the blunt knife stabbed into Nash's shoulder. How was this bad?
Castle beat him with luck.
@@thomasward2794you’re dum af
Despite playing the character in one movie, Thomas Jane will always be be The Punisher to me. He just has that edgy look not many people have.
He was a great Punisher.
He is Frank Castle, no one else
@@kilzoldyck5114 he’s good in The Mist.
Hot Take! Jon Bernthal is The Punisher, but Thomas Jane is Frank Castle.
He also played him a short film and the video game
RIP Thomas Jane Punisher
Thank you for your service
IDK why James McAvoy with a box killed you but..... she did
Nah i think this version is still alive. It was just a variant of him that was killed in dp & wolverine
With a box ? Wym
@@dileepkumark1230 Yeah it was Dolph Lundgren Punisher I believe
@@Anon7muZ Or Ray Stevenson. Since he used that rocket launcher kinda thing
Era uma variante dele em Deadpool e Wolverine ??? Tinha um cara parecido com ele. Usava até mesmo a mesma camisa
Yes
0:25 I'm blown away that Kevin Nash was legit stabbed handle deep with a dull butterfly knife and continued with the fight. What a legend!
Edit: Look up "Kevin Nash stabbed" for more info.
Edit: Idiots are still calling me a liar. Yes, they would have stopped to take care of it, but then he went on with the scene and that's crazy. Look it up. "Kevin Nash Stabbed".
I dont believe u
@@sebansasthamkunnel1027 Look up "Kevin Nash stabbed" for more info. He talks about it in an interview. They didn't even talk about it in the behind the scenes video for the scene, but he went into detail in that interview. It's really interesting.
@@sebansasthamkunnel1027look at Kevin Nash’s podcast
@@sebansasthamkunnel1027 There are literally videos of Nash talking about it on YT. They're not hard to find.
There’s a cut right when it goes in
3:58 that burn whit boiled oil was brutal
Yeah.
Noone cooks like that, to be _frank_.
Best part is when he baseballed the grenade...what a REACTION 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how the Russian casually tees off on the grenade with the pipe 😂
Because “Welcome Back, Frank,” the comic the movie is partially based on is part of the source material, I cracked up at this scene when I saw it in the theater.
Especially the toilet scene.
Same. When Saint said "get me the Russian" i was like "oh shit" 😄
@@gmfb521 same but I thought he was on about Ivan Drago, than Frank should be worried.
Good lord at 00:27.. that was a real blade and that actor was really stabbed with it.. he continued with the entire scene with a real stab wound!!
What makes that stab even worse is that knife is blunt as well.
@@NikkoNikkoYeet Like I know hey!! Like that actor just continued doing his job too and he has been stabbed in real life.. like I hope they paid him well and he got the medical attention he needed hey!!
@@violet-kittychick Kevin settled for a cold drink after he sealed up the wound with Super Glue.
Jane really felt bad for stabbing Nash and he let the big man throw him on the next shot which is also in the final cut alongside with the actual stabbing.
Dude my coworker told me that a few weeks ago when we talked about the punisher.
Doubt it, too close to the heart, he would've definitely had a reaction or would've died
Kevin freaking Nash is a freaking Legend. Stabbed for real and still continued and was able to finish the take perfectly.. Respect.
1:19 When your opponent in Super Smash Bros wants no items in the match.
1:55 was pure evidence that the Russians knew how to play baseball after all
The Americans !!!!
The opera music playing in the background is what makes this fight hilarious 😂
man, he is such a likable bad guy. he's just so weirdly charming. like he's just having a good time
Can’t believe this movie is almost 20yrs old 😱
Everyone kept asking “Where’s Waldo” but no one ever asked “HOW is Waldo”
@B. Tacktheritrix "I'll do you one better, WHO is Waldo?"
This scene says, "WHAT the F*** is Waldo?!"
Dead
... Waldo dead
Well
Frank is fine
Waldo is not
Roses are red, violets are blue, in old soviet Russia, Waldo finds YOU
When Waldo gets tired of hiding, and comes looking for YOU! LOL
The Fact Kevin Nash Got Stabbed For Real And Sits There And Smiles Like It’s Nothing To Him Behooves The Hell Outta Me🤣🤣🤣
The fact Kevin Nash took a real knife to the shoulder and just continued, even started smiling.
Makes him terrifying in real life. That knife was very Dull too
(Jim Ross)
BAH GAWD! The strength of the Russian beating the holy hell out the Punisher! He hit that grenade like a baseball and-- GOOD LORD!! Did he just strike The Punisher with that toilet and repeatedly closed that fridge on his head?! That is absolutely ungodly!
Jim Ross
"The Russian choke the life out of The Punisher, Punisher kicks him in his face and GOD ALMIGHTY, THE PUNISHER BURNS THE BIG MAN'S FACE WITH A BOILING OIL AND... OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD HE SPEARS THE RUSSIAN ALL THE WAY TO HELL"
So underrated
Jim Ross
"IT'S OVER!!! IT'S OVER!!! BAH GAWD I don't believe it, The Punisher has just defeated Big Daddy Cool Russian, what a gutsy performance by maybe the BADDEST son of a bitch we've ever seen King!!!"
Should've performed a Jacknife Powerbomb on Frank
@@mysoncrumphaseveryinjury3853 This tells you that the Russian is portrayed by WCW legend Kevin Nash!!!
This has to be one of funniest and most entertaining fight scenes ever made. The opera sets the pace perfectly.
This is such an under rated movie I love it so much
This is who Mr Ditkovich sends everytime you don’t pay your rent in time
Such an iconic film, thats extremely underrated. With an amazing Cast, Storyline, Soundtrack, and messages I still have no clue why this gets so much hate, but all I know this is extremely under-rated and deserves so much more credit. An intense and comedic film, thats really worth watching. Legendary! ""Si vis pacem, para bellum - If you want peace, prepare for war."
That panic crawl from the grenade 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Mr Castle ?
Frank ?
- I'm fine. 😅😂
crazy how the russian and sabertooth were a tag team back in wcw during the early 90s.
