Of all the characters in the Marvel Universe, Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, is easily one of the deadliest. Ever since he made his comic book debut back in 1974, The Punisher has been taking on the bad guys, dishing out punishment, and making the guilty pay for their crimes.
Outside of the comics, The Punisher has also starred in multiple big screen movies. Each film has added something to the character’s legacy, and has offered a slightly different take to the mythology.
In this post I am taking a look at the movies through their dialogue. Below you will find lines plucked straight from the films, to showcase The Punisher at his best – aka when he is delivering dialogue to those who need to hear it, or those that wish they had never crossed his path.
The lines featured in this post are taken from: The Punisher (1989), The Punisher (2004), and Punisher: Warzone (2008).
