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. Any ideas on what he's actually doing? If someone needs a screencap for clarification I can upload one. -Mandaloin | 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.

Revision as of 07:05, 25 February 2010
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:
The Cutlery 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 cleary was taught well, as he flawlessly spins the knife in the film several times.
Kitchen Knife
Some simple kitchens knives are used in the film. Castle Sr. uses one to stab a hitter in the back and Joan is seen holding one when her ex-boyfriend is trying to get into her apartment.
Spring-loaded Launching Stiletto
When Harry Heck totals Castle's car, he pulls a Stiletto Knife from his ankle, which Heck remarks, "You are one dumb sonavabitch, bringin' a knife to a gunfight," to which Castle responds by launching the blade from the knife into Heck's throat. 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 stilleto would not likely work as well.
Emerson Combat Karambit
Castle uses a Emerson Karambit tiger-claw style folding blade with a satin finish to kill a thug in Saint's club.
Spyderco Harpy
A half serrated Spyderco Harpy folder is used by Lincoln and turned against him by Castle.
Looks too big to be a Harpy. It is probably a Civilian, or perhaps a different Spyderco Hawkbill style knife.
It's a Civilian. It's fully serrated as well. (most likely it would do considerably more damage against thin cheek flesh.)
Paper Cutter
Caslte unhooks a Paper Cutter blade from its base and uses it to kill one of the thugs guarding the apartment.
Stilleto Knife
Howard Saint pulls out a Stilleto knife as he tells Quintin Glass how Jim Bowie used to throw a knife to the ground and fight someone if they declared he was cheating. Accusing Glass of cheating with his wife (which Castle had tricked Saint into believing), he stabs Glass to death with the knife.
Cold Steel Warhead
Castle uses two Cold Steel Warhead knives to kill Lincoln, first pinning his hand to his hip, than thrusting a knife through his chin into his brain.
These arn't really cold steel knives it's this one brand that I really want to know.
They could be Strider Knives, they look similar to the MT models, heres a link. [1] Gunner313
The Vehicles of The Punisher (2004)
The following cars were used in The Punisher (2004):
Note: These are cars important to the story. No random passing cars.
Pontiac GTO
Castle uses a Pontiac GTO as his vehicle. The liscense plate reads "Year One", the company who built the car. It does not mean any reference to the fact the film is based on the "Year One" comic.
Plymouth Road Runner
Harry Heck's car is a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner. Most easily distinguished from the front end and the nonfunctional "hood scoops" on the hood. Though this could've been a redressed Belvedere, Satellite, Coronet, or Superbee, which along with the Road Runner and GTX were essentially the same vehicle.
not a Dart
Ford F-150 1981 Pickup
John Saint drives a Red Ford F-150 1981 Pickup with Dante and Spoon riding in the back and Glass in the passenger's side. He uses it to run over Will and Maria Castle.
- Just two years older than my own Ford F150 I had up until a couple years ago. Spartan198 09:39, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Triumph Daytona 500
Castle hops on a Triumph in pursuit of the men chasing his wife and son.
Chevy Blazer
Maria Castle's Car.
1998 Corvette
Mike Duka's car.
Reproduction Ford GT40
A rubbish looking GT40 knockoff, barely resembles a REAL GT40, but passes as one to the casual viewer.
Shelby Cobra
John Saint's Car.
Jaguar XK8
Olivia Saint's car.
Bently Arnage
Howard Saint's car.
Jaguar XJR
Quinten Glass' Car
Ford Mustang
Jimmy Weeks' car is a 2004 Ford Mustang, seen in the extended cut only.
Taxi Cab
Dave is driven home from the hospital in a typical Taxi Cab. Looks to be a Chevy Lumina.
The Stevens 311
Recent observation seems to suggest that the double barrels are not Stevens 311s. Looking at the lower part of the receiver right were it meets the foregrip, there should be large indentations as seen in the Stevens picture, yet they aren't present.
- Re-read the article, they have been determined to be Spanish Eibar copies, which don't feature the indentations. - Gunmaster45
Alright then, you think the notion in the paragraph is enough, or should the heading be changed to reflect that? RedJedRevolver
Also, how were they determined to be that? Could they possibly be the 311H?
Specials
Where's the Special footage from? I got the extended DVD, it doesn't have that.-protoAuthor
- The special footage comes from the original theatrical release, actually. Spartan198 21:46, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I actually got that and never bothered to delete my question. I now have pretty much every version of every punisher film.-protoAuthor 00:04, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Alias Same 1911 Custom
In the Alias "Legacy" episode Michael Vartan uses a 1911 customized like the Punisher's pistols. The year of the episode is the same of the film: 2004. Maybe there is a connection... Charly Driver
Totally just thought about this
- Because this picture is of Frank and his Delta buddies in the Gulf in '91, he would technically be holding a M727 or M723. God i have random thoughts. -The Winchester
- Story-wise, yes. But production-wise, it could probably be the same M4 he used to shoot Saints and Sinners up, with the M203 removed, carry handle replaced, and fabric wrapping to cover the rail system. Spartan198 21:51, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yea thats what i ment. They do get 10 points for having the guys in that pic wear the ugly and oudated 8-color chocolate chip pattern. -The Winchester

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. Any ideas on what he's actually doing? If someone needs a screencap for clarification I can upload one. -Mandaloin 174.18.152.170 07:05, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
