THE PUNISHER (Mark Goldblatt, 1989)

I hope the other half was as enjoyable!

Yes, Lambert would have definitely been odd, unless he managed to "pull off a Michael Keaton", tapped into his dark side, and surprised everyone.

I think it was producer/re-writer Robert Kamen who for some reason (other than this was soon after HIGHLANDER so Lambert was a big name) set his eyes on the French actor...



Actually he kinda looked like Thomas Jane, don't you think?

I myself always thought that Lambert and Jane looked strikingly similar.

What's for sure is that the Netflix series skyrocketed the original screen PUNISHER on IMDB's Moviemeter popularity.

Among all the really bad podcasts "discussing" the first PUNISHER film especially since the series premiered, this one far more serious:

Even though I don't agree with everything, at least there's an actual thought out discussion.

Happy Birthday to editor extraordinaire and PUNISHER director Mark Goldblatt!



This is from a behind the scenes screenshot for the little cameo he did in the deleted scenes (airport sequence when Castle runs through security).
