although the R1 version isn't bad at all.
I've pretty much agreed with everything they rated in Dolph's filmography
Nineteen years after its original release, ESCAPISM is proud to host the United States Theatrical Premiere of director Mark Goldblatt’s extraordinary vision of the Marvel Comic’s action hero! This is Goldblatt’s original cut of the film (as well as his own personal 35mm print), including all of the moments and shots that he was forced to trim for an MPAA "R" version in the U.S., due to so-called "excessive violence". How, you ask, can this be the US Premiere? Several months prior to the film’s scheduled theatrical release in 1989, the film’s US distributor (New World Pictures) went bankrupt and rather than being released to US theatres, the film went straight to video (although it did play in theatres around the rest of the world.) Shot in Sydney, Australia in 1989, The Punisher comes brilliantly to life in this searing action-adventure thriller starring Dolph Lundgren as the infamous Frank Castle. (Forget the puny 2004 version! 91 people are killed individually on screen in this movie, not including those who die en masse in explosions, etc. Now, that’s action!) Lashing out from a labyrinth of subterranean sewers, The Punisher leads a heavily armed raid into the world of brutal crime and savage retribution. A world where only one thing is certain…the guilty will be punished.
