The Punisher (2004)
Written by Gerry Conway, Ross Andru, John Romita Sr., Jonathan Hensleigh, & Michael France
Directed by Jonathan Hensleigh
Starring (in this scene): Thomas Jane as the Punisher, Eddie Jemison as Mickey Duka
Chef’s Note: There are some who felt this moving pictures scene was not “comics accurate” as regarding the Punisher – that it wasn’t brutal enough, not dark enough, for someone as hardcore as Frank Castle.
And they’re absolutely right!
In the original scene, Frank tortures Mickey with a lemon popsicle, not cherry.
C’mon now! Obviously more hardcore because lemon juice = ouch!
Chef’s Note: Happy National Cherry Popsicle Day!
