* [[Big Applesauce]]: Frank is nearly always depicted as a New Yorker, but [[The Movie|the 2004 flick]] moves his story to Tampa. [[Word of God|The DVD commentary]] reveals that the main reason to move to Tampa was Florida's tax incentives for film productions. The budget was too tight to film anywhere else. |

⚫ | * [[Diagnosis From Dr. Badass]]: In the 2004 film, Frank takes a blowtorch to Mickey Duka's back and describes what he's doing in great detail, including telling him that it's not painful yet because the nerve endings are seared and when the flame's that hot, it actually feels cold. {{spoiler|This turns out to be a subversion, as the Punisher is really just swiping a popsicle across the man's back to create the described symptoms, while simultaneously using the blowtorch on a steak to create the smell of charred flesh.}} |

⚫ | * [[Guile Hero]]: The 2004 version of Frank Castle. How so? As part of his [[Batman Gambit]], Frank's plan for revenge was that after returning to the States, {{spoiler|make it appear to Howard Saint that his wife and his right-hand man are having an affair. After Saint kills both of them for the perceived betrayal, Frank makes his final assault on Saint's posh nightclub; Castle kills Saint's other son, tells Howard he killed his wife and best friend for nothing (he framed Saint's wife as cheating with his best friend, not knowing his friend was gay), then sends him to a fiery death.}} |
