Jane famously stated that he wanted to make a fan film for a character he had always loved and believed in—a pure love letter to Frank Castle and his fans.

Back in 2004, Thomas Jane starred as the titular anti-hero in Lionsgate's The Punisher .

It was criticized for being a bit too campy, lacking the uncompromising, brutal atmosphere that defines the comics.
