Never seen that May 1994 comic book cover that seemingly pays homage to the '89 film adaptation...

EDIT:
It's signed Brent Anderson who was the artist behind the comic adaptation of the movie...

The movie is 63rd in top 70 marvel movie on The Hollywood Reporter (better than three fantastic Four versions :lol: ).

Well why the hell did they include Captain America (1990) in there. This movie doesn't have action sequences with special effects in it and looks so primitive today.... It still looks like a workprint to me, if someone could invest some millions on action it could be really good, but it is not the case... Or Fantastic Four (1994) that was never released officially. It was shot only to not loose the rights on franchise and brand FF.
I have questions in this rating...

I think they just decided to include every movie IP related to Marvel, so to me it makes sense (even more considering that i love this Captain America iteration :oops: ). But the order is highly questionnable, the first Avennger being a tool of a movie in comparison with Logan or Spider Man 2 (in my opinion).

Kevin Feige would like to have "all super hero from past marvel movies" in the new avenger. I wonder if they would event ask Dolph... and I wonder if Dolph would even be interested (as it would be no more than a frame or two :lol: )

First question would be if he does take the term "superhero" literally since the Punisher is not really one...

Writing the expanded English edition of my book has been like writing another book altogether, with its ups & downs and lots of self-doubt...

So coming across this rave review of the French book pumped me up again, and reminded me the foundation seemed pretty solid enough:

A 4K UHD scan of the great teaser trailer 8)



Interestingly I had one done myself with my personal 35mm reel and they both look slightly different, likely depending on the state of the reels and their colors (the one above is blue-ish, as you can tell from the end title card), the equipment used etc...

The following piece from the The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia includes a continuity polaroid and a candid on-location pic of THE PUNISHER:

Just found out that the comics adaptation was originally intended as a 3-part mini-series according to the artist Brent Anderson... It was ultimately published in collected form.

Candid BTS shot of make-up supervisor Vivien Mepham and hair stylist Ziggy Golden on the Harley. It's likely that many crew members had their shot taken on the custom motorcycle!

Jox/Guys: I've just read on Wikipedia that Christopher Lambert was attached to the project before Dolph, is there any truth to that & if so how do you feel about it? I realise anyone can update wiki so i thought I'd ask you about it Jox seeing as your the expert on the movie

Lambert was not officially attached but he was producer Robert Mark Kamen's first choice. Kamen said to me that Lambert "dickered around with the project for a while" before turning it down, while Mark Goldblatt said the actor had to decline because he was on crutches... I attempted to get a quote from Lambert himself if he remembered but never heard back. Then Dolph became the next best thing.
