My favourite performance by MR. DOLPH LUNDGREN has been as THE PUNISHER™ (1989).
I should very much have liked to see him return in the role that THOMAS JANE has been permitted to re-create THE PUNISHER™ (2004), & if I had been permitted to direct that film, MR. LUNDGREN would have been my first choice for the role(s) of CAPTAIN FRANK CASTLE, U.S.M.C/THE PUNISHER™.
My own trailer for THE PUNISHER™ would be of a boy & his parents leaving the cinema where they have seen THE MASK OF ZORRO™.
They would round a corner, only to be faced with a gunman who tells the boy’s mother, “I’ll take that necklace you’re wearin’, lady,” as he grabs for the string of pearls about her neck.
The father would exclaim, “Take your hands off her!” as he pushes their son behind him.
The gunman would then cock the hammer of his revolver in the face of the father, retaining his hold on the string of pearls.
From the boy's P.O.V., 2 shots would ring out, then the bloody pearls would cascade onto the boy’s face as he screams “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
The next camera shot would be of the boy on his knees in the alley, his parents sobbing as they kiss him, clutching him to themselves, the gunman lying face down, his revolver still cocked in his hand, as blood pools around the still-rolling pearls on the ground.
From the boy’s POV, we would see the silhouette of THE PUNISHER™ approach them from the shadows, the skull emblem glowing luminous white, his twin M1911 COLT™ .45 pistols with smoke arising from their muzzles toward the streetlamp above.
THE PUNISHER™ would stop just short of where the light would allow the family to see his face, but the skull would sear into their memories as the camera zoomed into the skull emblem, red copy appearing below it that reads:
“They can run, but they can’t hide...."
THE PUNISHER™
