Trivia: While sitting in the church, the priest tells Frank that he's missed at the Seminary. In the Marvel comics, Frank originally wanted to be a priest but left when he discovered that he couldn't forgive people for their sins.
Trivia: The Chinese tattoo on the Asian gangster's face reads tien di, which means heaven and earth.
Trivia: During the funeral for the fallen secret agent accidentally killed by the Punisher, the priest reads out a biblical passage. That is Psalm 90, written by Moses.
Trivia: The Punisher has no dialogue until 25 minutes into the film.
Trivia: Thomas Jane did not reprise his role of The Punisher because he disliked the script.
Chosen answer: I haven't seen this movie in several years, but one contradiction I distinctly remember is the Punisher having a deceased daughter in this film, whereas in the 2004 film, he only had a son. The 2004 film had the Punisher's wife and son (named Will here) murdered in Puerto Rico and buried and Tampa. This film takes place in New York, and the cemetery the Punisher goes to has a gravestone for his wife, daughter and son (named Frank, Jr. here). There is also a brief flashback in this scene of the Punisher sitting on a picnic blanket with his dead family around him, which is closer to the comics origin where his family were collateral damage in a gang crossfire. The 2004 film depicted his family as being the deliberate targets of a mob hit and were run over by a truck on a pier.
