The avenging angel of Marvel Comics fame comes brilliantly to life in this searing action-adventure thriller!

His ex-partner believes Castle survived the blast and became the Punisher, living in the sewers and exacting vigilante violence against mob bosses throughout the city. When the populace is caught in the midst of a gang war that he caused, Castle must again emerge from the shadows and save the innocent.

The throwaway line about 80s movies is wrong. There was a Punisher movie released in 1989, starring Dolph Lundgren(!):

There was also a 1990 Captain America movie:

(Which wouldn't technically be a contradiction, but the spirit of the line is that they weren't making movies then, not that they released the movie they made shortly after)
