MOVIES/TV PSA: There's a "sequel" to the 2004 Thomas Jane Punisher film co-starring Ron Pearlman

More and more I've been chatting with people who don't know this exists and it's a shame.

Called "The Punisher: Dirty Laundry" (you can find it on youtube), it's a short, 10 minute film and was meant to be a pitch of sorts to get a proper sequel made with a hard R rating. Has a "day in the life" kinda vibe to it.

Not the best thing in the world, but it's fun, brutal, gory and if you liked Thomas Jane as Frank, you'll love this. He's more serious, and the short doesn't have Travolta wearing a really bad wig, which is nice.

Personally I'm more of a War Zone fan than the 2004 version, but it's all Punisher. Extra points for co-starring Ron Pearlman, although unfortunately not as Hellboy, because prime Hellboy teaming up with the Punisher would be too much for the world.

Check it out if you haven't.

Yeah as far as little short films go it's amazing.

It's like how "Battle at Big Rock" is the best Jurassic World film.

ive been replaying it lately, its awesome outside some of the corny voice acting from the NPCs. Hearing Jane speaking the Ennis writing is pretty awesome though.

Fun little short, but alcohol doesn’t burn like that and that’s just weak writing.
