The avenging angel of Marvel Comics fame comes brilliantly to life in this searing action-adventure thriller! Dolph Lundgren stars as Frank Castle, a veteran cop who loses his entire family to a mafia car bomb. His ex-partner believes Castle survived the blast and became the Punisher, living in the sewers and exacting vigilante violence against mob bosses throughout the city. When the populace is caught in the midst of a gang war that he caused, Castle must again emerge from the shadows and save the innocent.

In regard to its age, it's even better than the 2004 remake. Punisher as typically 80s action movie.

I remember liking this one a lot back in 1990 or so just as I was getting to recognize Dolph Lundgren movies. Now watching it 25 years later, there are these notable scenes that strike some nostalgic moments for me. For example, I always remember when Frank/Punisher residing in his underground lair More

Almost works more as a goofball comedy mocking all those action films of the 1980's. Almost. Gossett comes off so much better than the material handed to him.
