As the mob groups weaken under his relentless attacks, the yakuza, led by Lady Tanaka (Miyori), seize the opportunity to invade their territories, threatening the Mafia by kidnapping their children. Punisher retaliates, freeing most captives, except the son of mobster Gianni Franco (Krabbé), and gets arrested. Freed by Franco, Punisher aids him in rescuing Franco's son from the yakuza. </p><p>The film had a troubled release as New World Pictures had financial issues.

He now lives in the city's labyrinthine sewer-system, having assassinated 125 mobsters (not counting henchmen) in the past 5 years. His work is known by the use of special throwing-knives engraved with a skull. Castle's sole ally in his one-man war against organized crime is Shake (taken from <a href="/wiki/Shakespeare" class="mw-redirect" title="Shakespeare">Shakespeare</a> and "the shakes"), a stage-performer-turned derelict who typically speaks in rhyme. </p><p>The underworld families have become so weakened by the Punisher's guerrilla warfare that kingpin Gianni Franco is forced out of retirement.

However, this attracts unwanted attention from the <a href="/wiki/Yakuza" title="Yakuza">Yakuza</a>, Asia's most powerful crime syndicate. Led by Lady Tanaka, the Yakuza decide to take over the Mafia families and all of their interests.

The Punisher attacks Yakuza businesses, warning that every day the children are gone will cost them money. The Yakuza later capture the Punisher and Shake and attempt to torture them into submission, but the Punisher breaks free and decides the only course of action is a direct rescue. </p><p>He is able to save most of the children and commandeers a bus to get the kidnapped children to safety. </p><p>Tommy Franco, the son of Gianni Franco, had been taken away to Yakuza headquarters prior to the rescue. </p><p>The Police intercept the bus and arrest Frank after he releases the children. </p><p>While in custody, Castle is reunited with one of his old partners, who warns his multiple killings will likely get him executed to which Frank is ambivalent to stating that he, Frank, is already dead. He is now just <a href="/wiki/Punisher" title="Punisher">The Punisher</a>. </p><p>Soon afterward, Franco breaks Frank out of custody to aid him in saving his son from the Yakuza as well as destroying Lady Tanaka’s plans. He expresses regret that the bomb killed Castle’s family, but Frank insists that when they are done with the Yakuza, Franco will die. </p><p>Franco and the Punisher raid the Yakuza headquarters, eventually killing Lady Tanaka. Upon being reunited with his son, Franco betrays the Punisher, but the Punisher defends himself and kills Franco. </p><p>Franco's son Tommy then threatens the Punisher for killing his father but cannot bring himself to take revenge. Castle warns Gianni Franco's son, Tommy, to "grow up to be a good man", not following his father's misdeeds. </p><p>The police arrive, only to find no trace of The Punisher.

It was initially very popular on video, as most Lundgren releases were. Whilst critics and non-genre fans dismissed it as trash initially, it has often been re-appraised in the last decade particularly. It has now found more appreciation for its finer points. Whilst some of the source changes (Castle dwelling in a sewer) and lack of skull may have irked some, as a late 80’s action piece, it’s solid. Add to that fine performances from the two villains of the piece, Kim Miyori and Jeroen Krabbe, and a committed performance from Louis Gossett Jr as Frank Castle’s ex-partner. The supporting elements were all in place to prop up Lundgren, considered at the time as more athlete than actor. The end result is that, even if it doesn’t always feel like the Marvel view of Castle, Lundgren’s version of a ghostly, haunted shell of the man he was, is effective."<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Christopher_Null" title="Christopher Null">Christopher Null</a> gave the film 1 out of 5, stating the film was "marred by cheeseball sets and special effects, lame fight sequences, and some of the worst acting ever to disgrace the screen".<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Kim_Newman" title="Kim Newman">Kim Newman</a> of <i><a href="/wiki/Empire_(magazine)" title="Empire (magazine)">Empire</a></i>, gave three out of five stars in 2000.
