Ok, so I got around to watching Punisher Warzone, and you know what? It wasn't half bad, and I shouldn't have prejudged it based on it's review score. Gore was pretty awesome, Ray Stevenson was a good and more restrained Frank Castle, and Newman as Micro is both absurd but absolutely fitting. I still prefer the 2004 movie, but this one was certainly enjoyable. Shit's all over the Dolph Lundgren one easy.
I really enjoyed Warzone. Not amazing but I agree, the 2004 is better.
Oh, little known fact. The Russian fight in 2004 punisher, when Thomas Jane stabbed the Russian. They didn't use a prop knife by accident. He was actually stabbed.
The guy who plays the Russian is also the bouncer in the first John Wick movie.
Cheers for the video. Loving these. Brings back so much great gaming memories.
@@DM-MilkManKevin Nash, played the Russian to perfection and no sold getting stabbed
Warzone was closer to the comics, but I enjoy all the punisher movies, faults and all
Have you seen Punisher Dirty Laundry?
Rest in peace ray Stevenson
I love that the reason saints row exists is due to it initially being an in dev sequel to punisher that was cancelled and reused.
That's my favorite part of Saints Row 2, it felt like playing a Punisher game but as the villains
@@suwatsaksri7191Weird how it went to celeb criminals, the matrix with aliens, hell, a GI Joe game, and now a reboot with dialogue that feels more akin to a “Fast and Furious movie” for a “modern audience”
@@PaRadaRada ah, yes, the Cycle of life
Well it does have the only likable thing about the Ben Affleck DareDevil movie in it Michael Clarke Duncan pretty much playing a street gang version of the King Pin in Ben King on top of that fact you said makes me feel like the sequel already had decided to have the King Pin before changing title and game play a bit to street crime sim Blingbling then eventually getting named Saint's Row for release
wait what
I'm glad SOMEONE appreciates Thomas Jane's Punisher movie
gotta be dark under that rock..
So basically Thomas Jane punisher is basically the equivalent of Kevin Conroy is Batman.
It wasn't the worst one imo, definitely captured the essence of punisher, like how Blade I and II did, and even the fantastic four with captain america playing human torch.
Its really pretty bad.
Same here. I thoughf i was the only one who thought thomas jane was a great punisher. If youve never seen it theres an awesome video on youtube called dirty laundry staring thomas jane once again as punisher taking out some punks in amazingly gruesome fashion with a jack daniels bottle no less. Loved it and love this game too. Still own it
This was my favorite game when I was a kid right after watching Thomas Jane’s punisher movie. Sadly Ray Stevenson who played as Frank Castle in "The Punisher war zone" passed away, he was a brilliant actor.
Didn't know that he passed.
Both were perfect Punishers
Ray Stevenson passed away recently, so you should definitely honour his memory by watching Pubisher: War Zone. He's an underrated but badass Punisher, in my opinion.
I agree it was a good movie
I only learned this now. He was so bad ass in Rome too 😢
y'know I get the hate of the movie at the time but war zone was so fucking fun and enjoyable as a movie that it'll always have a special place in my heart
@@YEETUSDAFEETUSit's just that it edges too much on the cheesy side, mostly with all the characters around him. It's nowhere near as bad as everyone made out though.
@@dayleclarke4433 honestly the cheese adds to it for me it's one of the movies I just watch cause it's fun and a little goofy
Glad to hear someone giving the Thomas Jane punisher film its well-deserved praise. This game blew my mind at the time, another underrated classic.
Punisher in the comics: strangles traffickers with their own intestines
Punisher in Jane's movie: tickles bad guys with popsicle
Give me a break, worst Punisher depiction of all time. The only good thing that came out of it was the Skull logo design.
@@John-X you don’t have to watch the video if you don’t like it Trolly boy!
@@BirdGang6 Ya dummy, that's why I _didn't_ watch it. I stopped watching as soon as the uploader said "Thomas Jane's Punisher was the DeFiNiTiVe Punisher." When he said that, boom, opinion discarded, instant dislike, watch history removed.
@@John-X you're sad
@@dopekidrepublic no _ur_ sad if u think Thomas Jane was an accurate Punisher
Fun movie fact Kevin Nash accidentally got stabbed during his fight scene with Tomas Jane. Tom thought it was a prop knife he had where the blade retracts into the handle making it look like it stabbed someone but that wasn't the case it was an actual knife. Another great video keep up the amazing work
and kevin nash finished the scene stabbed. true kayfabe
Stuff like this happens FAR too often on film sets lmao.
Just as Robert Downey Jr was born to play Iron Man, Thomas Jane was born the be The Punisher. He is the definitive version of the character on the big screen and does an awesome job once again in this underrated game!
Same thing with Peter Weller, great in the movies and great in the game.
Punisher: Warzone is badass. I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch. Ray Stevenson's Punisher is also fantastic. This game and Blade II need a remake by Insomniac Games.
Rip Ray Stevenson
Yo! Good news Blades getting a new game, u have to check out the teaser my guy
Punisher Warzone is definitely worth a watch. It's cheesy as hell but has some stand out moments of the Punishers brutality, I think Ray Stevenson did a great job as Frank too and is to my mind the best portrayal of him on screen so far. And you can take that to the bank.
Rip Ray Stevenson
Yep. Its let down by goofy writing but the Punisher in that movie is the most Punisher like of any live action portrayl
That killing in the beginning, blowing up the free runners with the grenade launcher, punching that guy’s head in, and the final assault in the hotel. It could have been God like if the story didn’t suck.
The spinning in the shandleer thing was so dumb it really gets to movie off on the wrong foot. Like its hideous. The casting and most of the action however are very great!
I love both Jon and Thomas but I’ll always have bias for Thomas cause of the amazing voice work he did in the game, being 22 you know the game and movie were a big part of my childhood
SAMEEEEEEE
I don't know why but i remember the best aspects of the game was interrogating enemies before wasting them in the most brutal ways
The Punisher deserves more love than it actually gets as a serial; most of the time, whenever the average person thinks 'tragic backstory anti-hero with guns' they unfortunately get Deadpool. My guy went and killed the entire X-Men team plus Doctor Doom and Kingpin.
As Maxim's Gene Newman said for the game. "The Punisher makes the Grand Theft Auto series look like Super Mario Kart."
The rate you pump out videos helps keep my depression away
Another great video, mate. Always enjoyed this game as a kid, and while it’s definitely flawed it was one of the better tie-in games (and arguably the best Punisher game) around then. Thomas Jane really loved the character, and he even starred in a Punisher fan film, ‘Dirty Laundry’, just because he wanted to keep the character in the public eye when Marvel didn’t seem to care.
Also, weird trivia: Steve Blum doesn’t actually voice Bushwacker except for his very last spoken line, the rest was Philip Hayes. Kinda strange but there you go. Also, he doesn’t appear to voice Takagi, either. Although, maybe you were just doing a gag on how Steve Blum appears everywhere and it went straight over my head. In that case, my bad lol. Love your stuff.
3:20
Punisher War Zone is fantastic and well worth watching. Ray Stevenson is Possibly my favourite iteration of the punisher so far.
Yeah same, I think Ray Stevenson was the bomb in it. Glad to see he will be in the upcoming Ashoka show.
@@custardgannet4836 I'd never heard of Ashoka tbh, just checked the trailer and it looks good👍, plus the big man seems like he is a main character in it
@@custardgannet4836 Not anymore, sadly
RIP Ray Stevenson
Punisher Warzone is underrated
The 80’s punisher movie rules. They honestly are all good in their own ways.
Another banger video! Punisher was such a great game, and glad it became the catalyst for the Saints Row series existence. Also thank you for being someone else that appreciates the Thomas Jane Punisher movie, it had a lot going on for it
Given recent events, only right to say RIP Ray Stevenson. Great video as always Fuzzy
You're becoming one of my favorite RUclips channels, great content
ngl I played this game most recently on PC. I remember as a kid having a demo disc on Xbox, but couldn’t get the game because my parents didn’t let me play rated M games until I was teen, anyways years later I completely forgot about the game until one day it randomly popped up in my head and decided to play it on PC via emulator.
How did you play it using an emulator?
@@gorilla5089 Think he played it using an emulator
YES SIR! I’m glad this game is getting the spotlight!!!
Absolutely wonderful game. Tons of fun and plenty of replayability!
Thank you for this video. This game is literally my childhood ❤
The SBFP let’s play of this game is still their best
"Is that a rice cooker?"
If you haven't seen it there's a 10 minute Punisher fan film that has Thomas Jane in it called Dirty Laundry.
Loved the video, dropped a sub and about to binge your library 👍
always nice to see more videos of you. i have been going over stuff from before i found this channel too
Jon Bernthal did a great job at portraying a broken violent man.
His frank castle could be scary at times especially when tearing through a hallway of guys with nothing but his bare hands and the occasional shiv.
The modern marvel character generally sand blast all the edges off but this guy could eat a dozen grown men for breakfast then keep on chewing.
I never heard of this game until recently but now I'm interested to try it out as it looks fun. Your analysis and keep up the good work. It was great to see frank working with the superheroes. Also this got me interested yo see the movie
Fun fact The Punisher LED straight two Saints Row 1 volition before they were trash they had the rights to the Punisher game they were going to make a Punisher game it would have been an open-world sandbox which basically you could kill anyone anywhere they lost the rights to the Punisher so they couldn't make the game so decided to turn their Punisher game into Saints Row yes that's the true story of Saints Row 1 from Punisher 2 two legendary gangster game
Keep pumping out the ogs bro so nostalgic watching these
Moral of the video, Steve Blum is a great voice actor
I always like how they had a brief cameo of Iron Man in this game. That was before his marvel movie debut.
I'm so glad we share the same impression on this game. One of the most BADASS game ever created!
14:58 to 15:56 in an alternate universe i bet tom jane played Rorschach in watchman. he's got the right vibe and a good voice for it.
also aside from being punisher this dude was in and carried the best shark movie other than jaws and made the mist watchable, voiced one of the first open world cowboy game characters in Gun so as a 90's kid there will always be a place in my entertainment heart for this guy.
I played this game when I was 10
I still cant fucking fathom what my grandmother was thinking, but goddamn if I didn't love her for buying it for me.
Great game. Great video. Great channel. Great all around. Keep em comin man!
If a game needs a remake, is this one. Imagine the details and gore it could have with nowadays console/PC power. Too bad it won't happen, because it would probably won't sell that good
Man I love this game so much i remember playing this for hours on end when I was younger I pray they remaster it
Recently played it on emulator, has some jank but its such a fun game, both as a huge Marvel fan and a videogame fan
(Now that I remember I absolutely hated the last boss fight)
Why emulator? It's on PC
@@morkgin2459PC version had some hoops to jump through but it was worth it.
This game was the first time i ever “glitched” a game. On the level where you put the guy in the car crusher, i took a human shield and threw him and he got stuck hanging in mid air. I remember i tried doing everything including shooting his individual limbs and all he did was swing it was hilarious. Crazy. I truly loved this game as a child who was way too young to be playing it. I miss games like this.
I was just saying that I loved the (2004) Punisher film, but I had the Game Cube, the Punisher was only a on PlayStation and Xbox. I liked the Punishers appearance in Daredevil season 2.
Imagine if The Punisher 2005 got a GameCube release and it was uncensored too. Nintendo tried real hard to attract the hardcore audience with that underrated console.
Unfortunately due to lower sales, some GameCube ports were cancelled. I know Area 51 2005 was gonna have a GameCube port, but it was cancelled and only released on PS2, Xbox, and PC.
I enjoyed the AVGN refernece with Laughing Joking Numbnuts at the beginning, I am a huge fan of the nerd, and glad to see some people still remember him.
I remember playing game religiously. It was well put together. I also appreciate the cameos that show up in the game. Mind you this pre MCU era. When this game out. It would be dope if the PS4 had a rated M Punisher game. 🤯
yall dont understand how often I rented this from Blockbuster and would play it after I watched The Punisher (2004) - this is one of my favourite games of all time, I got the PC port and the shit still goes hard
Jane and Bernthal I think capture the character much better. It's more nuanced. Warzone though I do think is a lot of fun. It captured a bit more of the brutality and idea that Frank will mow down just droves of people
The 04 Movie had such an amazing soundtrack
I was 12 then this game came out and I remember playing it religiously, it was my favourite game back in the day! I hope they'll make a remake this game deserves a remake!
Wow, Volition used to make good games that had an edge. What happened?
Same thing that happens at most studios, development studios typically have a high turn over where people leave and new people join. Is it the same studio anymore in anything but name if the majority of the staff are not the people who made the previous titles?
The people who made their best games left. Plus they've repeatedly refused to listen to their paying customers ever since Saints Row 4 released.
The Volition who made Punisher, Red Faction, and Saints Row 1 us long dead.
I just hope someone else can make a great single player focused Punisher game.
I miss this game! Oh, 3:28 The Punisher: War Zone was originally going to be a sequel to the 2004 movie, and was going to have Thomas Jane back in it, but he had some disagreements with the direction of the movie and character, and pulled out, which is why they cast the late Ray Stevenson.
Now that Ray Stevenson passed away, you really need to go watch that movie, Ray is by far the best punisher out of the four and while I disagree that Dolph Lundgren was the perfect punisher for the time and gave a decent go at it with a more stoic and unapologetic Frank, Ray Stevenson is literally the punisher in both apperance and acting as well as having Microchip as his side kick and jigsaw as the antagonist.
It's phenomenal and you need to watch it, I love Thomas Jane and Netflix punisher but Ray Stevenson to me was perfect.
No your right, Nick Fury Sr is white while Jr is black. Though now we're possibly having Sr back as the head of a possible new Shield.
I liked the comics, i enjoyed the dolph lungren movie. absolutely loved the fact that biohazard sampled it for their music. thomas jayne was a better puniaher but the kills and comic book feel of warzone made it a more fun movie. Bernthals version of punisher was awesome. The characters been treated well.
I literally just started playing this. And OMG this game is a gem of a comic book game! Considering how old it is, it plays beautifully! I remember checking out the demo way back when but never picked it up. And I liked Thomas Jane as Punisher the movie wasn't that bad. But to find out he did the voice work in this game makes it even more awesome!!
I remember me and I guy I was working with at the time both got the game simultaneously and I used to crack him up by coming into work saying "YOURE BARELY SCRATCHIN ME, CASTLE!" in a southern accent like the dude in the library
So many Great Memories with this Game❤️🔥
The part about the interrogations is that funny about it is the fact that the punishers get deducted points because he kills them after doing it. And yeah it’s a game but we’re playing as the god damn punisher, Frank would’ve approved of such actions plus you’d get bonus points on the creativity of interrogation techniques
Thomas Jane will always be my Punisher just like how Christian Bale is my Batman Tobey Maguire is my spider man it's not that I will always see them that way it's just that's what I grew up with
Much love to the 2004 Punisher movie but you should really give War Zone a chance. It’s a different, more violent take but it’s also a lot of damn fun.
You should most definitely check out punisher war zone. Best depiction of the punisher character, in my opinion, and a great movie with its own style at the same time. Shame it didn’t get more attention or a sequel
Thomas Jane had the best voice for the Punisher, however, the best "body shape" is probably Dolph Lundgrens Punisher from 1989.
To me Jane is Punisher, he was a perfect fit. an i even grew up with Dolph being the punisher hehe.

I love the punisher warzone it is such a violent and over the top action movie.
@16:30 when the car tries to run Frank Castle over, the license plate says “ASM-129” which is a easter egg and reference to Punisher’s first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man. He was hired by The Jackal to kill Spider-Man in this issue.
Still my favorite ps2 game to this day, and I still own it. The mechanics were so ahead of its time.
Check out The Punisher: Dirty Laundry! It's a short film and Thomas Jane reprises his role!
The Punisher is a REAL hero does what needs done
He's the mirror opposite of Batman. Fun fact, there's a cross over comic with Batman and Punisher. The Joker was terrified of Frank. I doubt a cross over like that would happen now.
He's literally not a hero. The punisher himself would tell you that. If you think he is a hero you completely miss the entire point of the character
@@BioshockDrill he's a hero
Honestly idk if you will read this but you should consider releasing a let's play series or live streams the game play as you record the game play for your retrospectives I think your commentary would be awesome to watch over the gameplay and be fun to go through that whole game as you do at the same time and then go back over the retrospective as you do I think that would be sick.
They need to make a new Punisher game.
I'm glad this game is making a comeback, I've seen like 4 videos on it in the last day.
16:30 missed the chance to point out the license plate of the car is ASM 129 aka Amazing Spider-Man Issue #129 which as you said earlier in the video is Franks first appearance
That’s a clever reference
Still one of my favorite ps2 video games
Happy it came out after the movie and Thomas Jane returned to reprise the role
OMG!!! I remember this game on PS2 I LOVE IT
What I'll always prefer with Tom Jane's Frank Castle/Punisher is how he was way, way more stoic and tactical with his decision-making in terms of combat (only gripe is how little gore/violence the film actually brought to the table)... along with the inclusion of his use of a war journal. He also had enough moments where you get to listen to his internal monologue, especially at the end of the film. The closest Jon Bernthal ever came to this level of straightforwardness was his first appearance in Daredevil, which I'd argue is the better take on the titular character than his own series. Always felt like Jon Bernthal got nerfed in his own show. He never had the chance to set his enemies up or hang them on meat hooks or anything similar there. The one aspect of Ray Stevenson (may he rest in peace) that I'll always prefer over any other live action take thus far was his size, his facial structure, and how his hairstyle mimicked the comics.
This game is awesome really cool video and Channel dude be cool to see you do one for The Warriors or Max Payne
3:30 bro warzone kicked ass. Check it out. It's not as good as the 2002 but if you temper your expectations it's amazing. Easily the 2nd best Punisher movie.
I heard in the movie Thomas Jane ended up stabbing Kevin Nash with a real knife in the shoulder instead of a prop retractable one because someone handed him the wrong knife to use for the scene and Nash just kept on doing the scene like the badass professional he is, so that's the take that ended up in the movie. Damn dude.
We need a new punisher game, imo open world , where he can punch and kick and shoot guns as well as customise and upgrade them.
Masterpiece from start to finish! The different kills level to level is the real treat. Such a shame we never got a sequel or even a remaster. No shit, I actually bought a 360 on Marketplace during COVID just so I could play this on backwards compatibility. Now that's a super fan! I also agree Thomas Jane is the most definitive Castle on screen. Stevenson, Bernthal and Lundgren just Don't quite have it. Travolta was a fantastic bad guy. 2004/2005 Punisher is the greatest by far. I can only imagine how good Thomas would've been in the Netflix series. His portrayal was a lot more crisp, clean, cold, and calculating. What a joy this game was. Long live Frank Castle!
its sad how that company went that way when they make amazing games like this like I was playing Saints Row 2 last nite
As far as other superhero games I'd love to see you cover, I'd love you see you cover the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games. Maybe even their precursors, the X-Men Legends games. Or at least Legends 2, since I have more nostalgia for that one in particular, and it seems to be the better of the 2.
And the debut of Deadpool in video games in X-Men Legends 2
I adore this game. Played it a lot in my younger days. Also they tried to get Thomas Jane for the Warzone film but he turned it down for being to violent. That aside Warzone is more accurate to the comics then even the Jane film. Bringing in Microchip and Soap as well. If the only thing stopping you from watching Warzone is the lack of Jane then give it a shot. I promise you will not be disappointed.
I've seen all three Punisher films, the Netflix series, and one CGI anime starring him and Black Widow. Yeah, Thomas Jane's film was the best. Warzone is worth at least one watch for Jigsaw and gorey R rated moments.
As for the game, this is definitely the best Punisher game. Wish it got the open world sequel, but instead we got Saints Row. Doubt Volition would ever make a game like Punisher 2005 now, how are they gonna relate it to paying off your college debt!? Blah.
I truly hope Punisher 2005 gets remastered or even a remake/sequel and remove the censorship. Many modern games make Punisher 2005 look tame with their shiny realistic graphics.
The comics that inspired both the game and Jane film are worth reading. Can't say the same for current Punisher comics. They messed him up, again.
Ennis’s Version of the Punisher was my favorite era of the comics.
Punisher War Zone is a great violent movie
I’ve got tonsillitis. But Fuzzy released the punisher video so it’s bearable🤣
one of my favorite games of all time
👌Beautiful intro.
Punisher: Warzone was fun! Definitely worth a watch. Fantastic soundtrack, too!
I prefer Ray Stevenson's version of the Punisher over Thomas Jane's version. But I can not deny that Thomas Jane love the character of Frank Castle since he voice him in this game plus he made a punisher fan film called Dirty Laundry there he star as the punisher again. I do hope to see him return as the Punisher again. Plus this game is awesome and Punisher will always be my favorite character from Marvel.
Grant Albrect from Destroy all Humans is in this game he also voiced Vice Kings in Saints Row 2006
Yeah...before you judge Punisher: Warzone how about you watch it first! It is brutal and Ray Stevenson was an awesome Punisher! It has an 80s grindhouse feel to it and the lighting and color scheme captures the neo grit of the comics. It is highly underrated. If you do watch it, make a video about your thoughts!
this channel is so underrated
This game was a masterpiece, true peace of video game artwork I wish to remaster this one
Such amazing game! A game ahead of its time
i would love if could try
urban reign is such fun game
This is such an amazing game I remember playing this way back in the day who actually agrees with me and thinks that this should actually be remastered or remade because it's absolutely a classic and should be treated as such and made to even look even better?
