Talk:The Punisher (2004): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 22:48, 28 July 2023

Now because I'm so nice, I've added screencaps of the Knives and Cars used in the film. Since I know little about either, feel free to add your own knowledge and such. With the cars, I only added the ones used by main characters, random cars passing by weren't a big deal. -GM

The following knifes were used in the film:

Blade Weapons of The Punisher (2004)

Butterfly Knife

Castle takes a butterfly knife off of Joan's ex-boyfriend and uses it through out the film, notably when fighting The Russian, who turns it against him and stabs him in the shoulder. Thomas Jane was taught how to do tricks with the knife, and clearly was taught well, as he flawlessly spins the knife in the film several times.

While cool in theory, the chance of the blade hitting is far too slim for it to be a conventional weapon.

While ballistic knives do exist in real life and work somewhat well, they have much stronger springs to accurately launch the blade, while the spring strength in a modified stiletto would not likely work as well.

+== 1911 Action ==
+I was watching this movie the other day and noticed every time Castle racks his 1911's slide while not in combat it looks like he flips a switch on the front of the slide where it meets the compensator.

+It looks like he is doing a "press check" or "brass check" to me. He grasps the front cocking serrations on the slide, pulls the slide back slightly to check to see if a round or brass is in the barrel. -Scott
+== Stand-alone launcher ==

+Looks real to me. -[[User:The_Winchester|Winn]]
+They look like the comp kit from kings gunworks.
+Definitely NOT from Kings Gunworks. Kings only has round compensators. The ones in the movie match the shape of the end of the slide. I suggest they are from Gan's Enterprises in Pennsylvania.
+http://www.gansguns.com/MAINCOMPS.html
+:If you mean are the compensators functional, the answer is no. Otherwise, the muzzle flash wouldn't be so huge (of course, the weapon is also firing full-flash motion picture blanks, which have more powder than live rounds). Compensators and suppressors are almost never functional in Hollywood movies; audiences like to see huge muzzle flashes. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:46, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
+::Well, if they weren't functional, then why does the flash redirect upward at the porting? Doesn't that prove that the compensator is functional, otherwise the flash would extend forward only. Maybe if they were mounted on a real gun, the effect wouldn't be that noticeable, but real compensators aren't deemed compensators based on their quality, but by the very fact that they redirect gases upward, which these appear to be doing.--[[User:Mr-Jigsaw|Mr-Jigsaw]] 04:51, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
+I think you should understand that blanks give off no recoil to really affect the actor. The Compensators probably would work if the gun was firing live ammo and no blank adapted but in this movie, the purpose of the compensator is for the pretty muzzle flash that is caused from the blanks that are designed to give you more flash than real life gun shots.

+== The Castle family in the "9mm vs. 45" debate... ==
+There's a funny scene in the novel (and maybe the extended cut of the film, haven't seen it yet) where Frank makes a comment about his father's love of 1911s.  Frank Sr. responds something to the effect of:  "You may mock, my friend.  Just don't come crying to me when you shoot a crackhead full of 9mm and he responds by breaking your pissy little Glock over your head!"
+It will most likely have been in the original script which is what novels are usually written from hence they have all the deleted scenes that didn't make it into either theatrical or directors cuts. Aliens is a very good example of this as it has the deleted scene where Ripley finds Burke and gives him a grenade to kill himself with. That scene is in neither the theatrical or the "special edition" director's cut. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 15:25, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
+That scene was the same in the extended cut as it was in the theatrical release, no debating 9mm over .45 or remarks about "pissy little Glocks". [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 23:01, 6 March 2011 (MSK)

+== Mossberg 500/Armscor ==
+I'm pretty sure the weapon listed as a Mossberg 500 is actually a cut down Armscor shotgun.  This notion was entertained awhile back with a small caption at the beginning of the listing, but it was taken down and never placed in here to properly be analyzed.  There are some additional movies that probably feature the same gun, but the only one I can remember was Red Dragon.  My arguments are these: first, the safety placement is on the front of the trigger guard, not behind the chamber, and secondly, there seems to be a checkered pattern imprinted on the bolt, both of which are unique features of Armscor shotguns.  Should the entry be changed? --[[User:ZeoRanger5|ZeoRanger5]] 04:31, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

+Am I correct to assume the way the Aimpoint is mounted on Castle's M4 the front sight post would block the red dot as it's an L mount instead of the cantilever mount.

+:No, if the dot is right on the tip of the front sight that is known as co witnessing, meaning if you looked through iron sights with the dot on, the do would be in the exact same spot as your front sight. If it is floating above, that's usually known as a lower 1/3 co witness, and it will still line up with irons. Google can help with a better explanation.

+== The Tec-9... ==
+Is not a Tec-9. It is a KG-99, the select-fire version of the Tec-9 (they are almost identical in external appearance). The armorer did NOT convert a Tec-9 to select fire, machine guns have been illegal to produce for anyone except military or law enforcement agencies since 1986 (18 years before this movie was made).
+Many KG-99s were legally registered pre-1986, and it is likely that one was used for this movie (or the shots were movie-edited).
+:You have guys have no idea what you are talking about. Armorers are not regular civilians like you or I. They are licensed Class III manufacturers/dealers who can purchase machine guns that have manufactured since the 1986 FOPA. How do you think that you're able to see weapons such as H&K G36s or FN P90s in movies (neither of which were around in 1986)?

+== Weapons Stockpile ==
+Would ''anyone'', even a federal agent, be legally allowed to have such a stockpile of hardware like Frank has in his personal possession? I mean, I could feasibly see him having short-barreled shotguns, M4s and M16s, as many pistols as his heart desires, and even the grenade launchers, but hand grenades, Claymore mines, those unIDed AP mines? Seems like that stuff would be so heavily controlled in post-9/11 America that even LEOs would have difficulty acquiring them. I realize he wouldn't be the Punisher without enough weapons and ammo to outgun and conquer a small country single-handedly, but still.

+:This is yet another issue with the film, in the graphic novels he had Micro who supplied him with pretty much all of his weaponry, he wouldn't really be able to have such a stockpile as a normal Federal Agent, he could have POSSIBLY had them if he was HRT or SWAT and had gotten away with "liberating" them from the armoury. But why would he have? More plotholes than a siv in this film which is so annoying, a Punisher film done right could be right up with films like Heat, Taxi Driver, The Town etc. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] ([[User talk:Cool-breeze|talk]]) 12:18, 16 October 2012 (EDT)
+::What would HRT and SWAT need Claymores (which can hit you from a football field away) and frag grenades for, though? They kill too indiscriminately to be used in situations where hostages and/or innocent bystanders are likely to be close by or used as human shields.

+:::Good point, I'm guessing we're supposed to assume that it's left over from Castle's military days but I would still question why he would risk being caught to stockpile them when he left the military. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] ([[User talk:Cool-breeze|talk]]) 07:09, 17 October 2012 (EDT)
+::::Or maybe it's just a film where the characters have unreasonable firepower? It's not like this is the only film ever made where people have access to weapons no one would be able to acquire in real life.--[[User:Leigh Burne|Leigh Burne]] ([[User talk:Leigh Burne|talk]]) 07:15, 17 October 2012 (EDT)
+:::::I know it's a movie, but that's hardly valid reasoning. Would you say as much if he was partnered up with Barney the dinosaur? [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 12:59, 11 April 2013 (EDT)
+::::::I have no idea what what Barney the Dinosaur has to do with anything. Maybe they're "props" left over from his undercover work? He was posing as an arms dealer. I know that doesn't quite make sense, but it something. [[User:Atypicaloracle|Atypicaloracle]] ([[User talk:Atypicaloracle|talk]]) 04:02, 23 June 2013 (EDT)
+==Compound Bow==
+While not a firearm, Castle does some nice stealth kills with a compound bow. Anyone who knows what type is welcome to comment.
+Read somewhere that it is a PSE Spyder S4. [[User:Des|Des]] 07:37, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
