How Did This Get Made: Punisher: War Zone

Social ON

This week's How Did This Get Made? is the first of its kind. Our guests are Lexi Alexander, director of Punisher: War Zone and Patton Oswalt, one of the movie's most vocal supporters. Together with Paul and June (unfortunately Jason had to miss this one) they honestly explain how this movie got made: From the very first pitch meetings to the week after it was released. Hear how unfortunate timing, poor marketing, and mixed expectations affected the success of one of the coolest, craziest, most fun comic book adaptations of the decade (at least).

  • movie sucked monkey ballz through a straw
  • I think War Zone was the best version of the comic.Way truer to the comic then the Thomas Jane version
  • movie sucked asssssss
  • I agree, that shit was horrible. Very technically inaccurate in regards to weapons and explosives. The prior one was decent.
  • Movie was so TERRIBLE! I love comic book movies and violent action movies, this title was an insult to both. In all my life it is the only film I have ever walked out of and gotten my money back from
  • Lexi's comments on female directors were great!I hope she continues to grow as a director and get more opportunities.
  • i fucking love this fucking movie. have any of you assholes ever read a punisher comic?
  • I'm not an asshole, I have read the Punisher comic. I still hated the movie. AND I know how to properly capitalize the words in a sentence that require it.
  • EXACTLY what i thought of this movie. Extremely underated and under-appreciated.
  • Kudos on this episode. It's made me like the movie even more.
