A promotional tape from Japanese distributor Pony Canyon with what I'm guessing are demo trailers of upcoming video releases (July '90 was 6 months after Japan's theatrical run)

THE PUNISHER (1989) REVIEW: A WORSE ORIGIN STORY THAN X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

Havin seen ... no, having endured the first Wolverine in theater, and having seen The Punisher numerous time, it's easily not comparable (for me, the punisher is not an origin story per say). But hey, some people might mistakenly read the article because of the title. ('tis the problem of internet media IMO ... if only it was just for movie articles, but no, it's for general informations and anything [crisis, economy, politics ...] these days. sorry for the off-topic tantrum )

[Jox]

Agreed...

Delroy Lindo recalls encountering him by chance in Australia when Gossett was making “The Punisher.”

“I remember thinking, ‘Well, what is Louis Gossett doing in a Dolph Lundgren film?’” Lindo said. “I don’t want to go down a rabbit hole right now, but I happen to think Louis Gossett is a great actor with a capital G — the difference being the opportunities that were afforded those men as compared to some of the other renowned actors one could name. So, wow. Dolph Lundgren, wow. That was not casting aspersions on Lou. It was, if anything, a comment about the industry.”

Gossett adopted a front that disguised his disappointment. In 1987, he claimed to a Toronto Star reporter that he “wouldn’t be getting $1 million per movie” without his Oscar, but even that was a facade.

“The truth is, I never made a million dollars for anything,” he told me.

I finally have the soundtrack in my possession. So thrilled to finally add it to my soundtrack collection.

[Jox]

Congrats! I believe it's become pretty hard to find...

[lt.brannigan]

Thanks. It's particularly hard to find for under $50 USD.

For those wondering about my book, the English (and largely expanded) version is still in the editing stages, it's taken way longer than expected...

[Moltisanti]

Whenever it’s out I am here for it!
