Punisher 89
Continuity: After the lights go off, some goons shoot at where two characters are standing, only to find them gone when the emergency lights come on. Not a single bullet hole is visible in the Japanese paper screen they were standing before, however.
Revealing mistakes: In a long shot of rack-torture scene, everyone is clearly standing on a place-marker.
Continuity: While Frank Castle is fighting a Japanese Swordsman, a holstered gun on Castle's back disappears. Moments later, it re-appears in the holster. The weapon wasn't touched by anybody.
Punisher 04
Continuity: When Frank Castle's wife and child are in the Blazer trying to escape, it flips over, while flipping the hand on the steering wheel is wearing a black bracelet, when his wife crawls out of the car she is wearing no bracelets.
Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double when the Blazer starts to flip over.
Continuity: While fleeing from massacre, Frank's wife's vehicle has the tires shot out from underneath it, but when it flips over, the tires are returned to full inflation.
Revealing mistakes: When the Blazer flips over, you can see the mechanism under the truck on the passenger side used to flip the truck over.
Continuity: Joan's hand moves, disappears and reappears from Frank's face between shots during the "memories" speech,
Continuity: When Castle grabs the motorcycle to chase after the gunmen who are chasing Maria and Will, the dead family member who'd originally been riding it is nowhere to be seen.
Continuity: As the gunmen are driving off the pier after leaving Castle for dead, the film is flopped.
Continuity: When the guitar player comes into the diner, he sits down and, while smoking his cigarette, opens his guitar case. As he does so, his cigarette repeatedly jumps back and forth from his mouth to his hand between shots.
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The "stingray" that Castle's wife and son find on the beach is actually a horseshoe crab.
Continuity: When Quentin shows Castle's classified dossier to Howard Saint it shows Castle's date of birth as 1972 but later when we see the gravestone it shows his date of birth as 1968.
Revealing mistakes: In some of the shots after Frank is sewn up by Joan, you can see the edges of the prosthetic stab wound on his chest.
Factual errors: The truck that is used to kill Castle's family (in Puerto Rico) has a front license plate. License plates in Puerto Rico are only displayed in the back of the car, as you are only given one plate for the car.
Continuity: When Frank's father is giving his speech to the family, he spills his drink on Frank's lap which causes Frank to look down. In the next shot, Frank is looking up at his father.
Continuity: Frank's shirt is dry immediately after his father spills drink on it.
Continuity: The second time Frank places a fire hydrant by Mrs. Saint's car, he is briefly wearing the short sleeved Skull t-shirt (from the previous time he did it), but in the wider shot he is wearing the long sleeved trench coat.
Crew or equipment visible: When Howard Saint displays the money for killing the Punisher, the camera and crew is reflected in a mirror behind Saint.
Continuity: When Frank is being held by Saint's men on the pier, one shot shows his dead wife lying on her back, the next shot shows her lying on her side.
Continuity: When Frank is being chased by the Heck (after he gets over the bridge), it shows the metal shields are pulled down on both doors, but in a shot when it shows him turning, you can see one of the shields is no longer there, but in the next shot, it is back.
Continuity: During the shootout at the family reunion, one of Saint's men is shooting from behind a barbecue grill at Frank and Frank's father. As Frank and his father are shooting at Saint's man, a bowl of salad on the counter is sent flying in the air as Saint's man dives over the barbecue grill. The next shot shows Saint's man shooting at Frank with the salad bowl full of salad on the counter. Then we see Frank shooting at the barbecue grill with the salad bowl gone and salad all over the counter.
Continuity: There's no blade left in the hilt when Castle uses his knife launcher (it's in Heck's neck). In the next shot, the blade reappears, and then disappears again in the following shot.
Continuity: When Saint is tied to the car and the explosions are happening, his lower half catches fire. In the next shot, he is not on fire.
Continuity: After Dave comes back from the hospital, the tissue in his nose switches sides after he comes into the apartment.
Continuity: Castle shoots and damages the grill of the red truck as it attempts to run him down. When we see the truck again moments later, the grill is undamaged.
Continuity: While being chased by a truckful of bad guys, the boat attached to Castle's wife's rig bounces up and smashes the red truck's windshield. In the next shot, the windshield is intact.
Continuity: After Saint's wife puts in the left earring given to her by her husband she drops her robe. Then her right earring is seen in her ear.
Continuity: The motorcycle lands pointing to the left when driver is shot off it, but when Castle picks it up to pursue the criminals, it's facing the other way.
Continuity: Both the barbecue and ketchup bottles move around on the grill several times during the shootout.
Revealing mistakes: After Saint kills the henchmen that was assigned to look after his son, Saint drops the gun on the stomach of the henchman only to have him jump as the weight of the gun hit his gut.
Revealing mistakes: After Castle shoots the gas tank, it blows up the henchmen setting him on fire and you can see the fireproof mask and gloves on the henchmen.
Factual errors: Micky Duka states that the parking ticket for Livia Saint's car was issued on Thursday, September 5th. The film is set in 2004 but 5 September 2004 was a Sunday.
Continuity: When Saint is being tied behind the car, his arms keep changing position from outstretched to being placed on his chest.
Continuity: When one of the thugs comes down the stairs, he gets slashed by Castle's knife, and blood gets splattered on the wall. The blood disappears in the next shot.
Continuity: When the pictures of Quentin Glass are thrown at Howard Saint they can be seen as thrown above him and to his side, but in the next shot, they are all in a pile all facing upwards.
Continuity: When Saint is being pulled by the car in the end, he goes from being on fire to not, then back to being on fire again.
Continuity: When Frank Castle is escaping from Harry Heck he drives his GTO off of the bridge. In the close-ups of Castle just before he hits the Chevy Lumina, you see him pull the steering wheel hard to the left, but in the scene the GTO goes right. He turns in the opposite direction the car actually goes.
Crew or equipment visible: When the Jeep flips over we see the crew standing in the background.
Crew or equipment visible: After Franks car jumps the bridge during the car chase, you can see the jump harness used to protect the stunt driver from receiving any back injuries.
"In avenging my family, I've found a new purpose. I'm coming. All of you out there, I'm coming. Those who do evil to others - the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists - take heed. You will come to know me well. But don't make the same mistake Sandoval did. Don't call me Castle. Frank Castle is dead. Call me the Punisher."
