go in just about any thread and we are talking about it.

 

[strikezone89]

^well now theres a place to only talk about it to unclutter some of the other threads

 

[Microchip]

There's a thread called 'New Trailer today!' or something to that effect, if you want to talk about that footage. It's sort of for the other new trailer too, but the talk is mostly about the music video one.

By the way, Ramallah - Days of revenge. That's the artist/song.

3 of the cheesiest in the clips/trailers. Show the shotgun to the head one. That is an awesome shot.

 

[screams]

I know they are cheesy. It's better than the cheesy stuff in the '04 Punisher... but, this is the kind of cheesy I'm ok with. It's got all sorts of this stuff in the comics, I'm ok with it in the movies.

Also, the shotgun shot you are referring to is probably the best part of the video.

 

[Brendan]

Why is it cheesy? Its just people being brutally killed.

 

[Microchip]

Because it looks over-the-top, unrealistically gory. Personally, I like it. I think if the Punisher punched some punk kid in the head, his face probably would explode. Ever since watching this trailer, plus the Lexi rumours getting somewhat cleared up, I think this'll be a great movie.

poor Ink

 

[Brendan]

The head didn't explode though. Just caved in a bit where the eye socket is.

the only things i think comes off as cheesy are the fat dude's head exploding and jigsaw breaking the guy's neck. i think everything else looks pretty decent considering the low budget. i don't see anything cheesy about dragging a guy by the leg and slamming him into a wall. as for ink getting his face smashed like that, he is a pretty tiny dude, so i don't think it's all that cheesy or unrealistic.

I agree with the fat dude's head and neck break. The dragging the guy by the leg is fine but swinging him like that into a wall. That's a Jason Voorhees move. The chair leg to the eye just looks so damn fake and the punching the guy so hard his face comes off is just not plausible and looks so friggin' stupid. I hope that stupid looking stuff gets deleted.

if rambo can rip somebody's throat out, frank castle can punch a dude's face in.

it works within the movie. in a world where he's leaping off a rooftop into another building through a boarded-up window, i would say it's pretty plausible for him to smash some skinny punk's head in. now that i think about it, it makes sense anyway cuz ink is up against the wall.

 

[Kable24]

It's easier to rip a throat out than to punch somebody's skull in. I just think it looks very poorly done.

Either way is easy, if you're Frank Castle.

 

[Kable24]

uh yeah sure ok.

 

[FireandIce213]

the only guy I know that can do that kind of stuff is Chuck Norris... On the serious side, the over the top and rather fake looking violence looks like something out of Marvel Knights.

 

[S. Grundy]

It's easy to cave in someones face, when it's rubber. Though I could have sworn that Castle headbutted the **** out of Ink in the script, for some reason that seems more believable.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

It's funny seeing the nitpickers whine about the footage. Anyone ever consider the amount of force Frank his punching that guy with? I'm sure if you used every bit of strength in you to punch a guy, you could probably cave in his eye socket and do serious damage.

So it's not all that unrealistic.

i think it's pretty damn realistic. that's what i was trying to get at when i said ink is up against the wall. he's got nowhere to go so his head is basically stuck between a wall and frank's fist coming at him god knows how fast and hence his face is crushed.

 

[Bubonic]

He might also have some sort of brass knuckles which would have that sort of effect

 

[screams]

Or perhaps his knuckles are in fact made of brass.

 

[FireandIce213]

yea i like to think Frank has brass knuckles or something in his hand to be able to literally punch a hole through a dude's face...
