Corrected entry: In the opening scene at the docks we see Frank standing on a large container. The camera shows the container lowered all the way to the ground it then cuts away then cuts backs to show the container being lowered all the way down a second time. (00:06:00)

Correction: When Frank lowers the container, he doesn't originally lower it all the way.....he pauses to say something, and then continues to lower it.

Corrected entry: In the sequence where Frank's family is run over on the dock, the truck drives over them and continues on. Frank shows up soon after and looks down the dock, and there is no truck in sight. Soon the truck magically appears, having turned around on a dock barely large enough for it as is. The mobsters then "kill" Frank and leave him for dead. Only when they leave him, they get back in the truck, which has since magically turned around again, and speed off down the dock toward the ocean end of the pier, not the end connected to the island.

Correction: If you look at the dock from the wide shot at the beach, you can see there is a large area at the end where there would be enough room for a truck to turn around. The truck was behind the 'shacks' that were on the dock. Also when the truck speeds off after 'killing' Frank, it does go towards the beach, note that the beach is in the back, not a wide view of the ocean.

Corrected entry: When Frank's wife is driving away from Howard Saint's men, in one particular shot when she hits the red 4x4, out the back window there is grass on both sides, and a sand track/road, but in the next shot the landscape changes somewhat, and the the red 4x4 changes its distance. (Use slow motion or frame by frame.) (00:25:25)

Correction: According to this site's rules, if you have to use slow motion to see something, it's not a valid mistake.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Frank's family is being attacked, Frank and his father are inside the house fighting with some thug hiding behind the barbecue stand. At one point a shotgun shot is visible in the black metal lid on the left of the stand. In the next shot, the lid is intact, and then when the gas bottles blow up, it's shot again.

More trivia for The Punisher

Question: In the extended version, when Frank confronts Jimmy about his betrayal, why did he make Jimmy commit suicide instead of killing Jimmy himself?

Answer: Jimmy is drowning in massive gambling debt and has had to resort to selling everything of value he owns as well as steal money from evidence lockers to help pay his debt down. He has nothing to live for and is merely going through the motions of life, and coupled with his guilt over selling out Frank and getting his family killed, Frank concludes Jimmy needs to take his fate in his own hands.
