Not Wearing Tights | |
| The Punisher (1989) / int_520680ca | comment |
Not Wearing Tights: Frank never wears the iconic skull on his chest. This wound up being one of the main points of criticism from fans.note More than fidelity to the comics, the skull shirt worn by the Punisher is a tactical decision as it draws criminals' attention there more than to his unprotected head - the comics' hero suit is often made of kevlar, and when it's a simple shirt, there's often a bulletproof vest underneath. So ditching the skull, in the end, would be even more dangerous to Frank. | |

Thrown from the Zeppelin: When Lady Tanaka first demands that The Mafia become her junior partners, not one of the five mob bosses agrees to her demands, and she stabs the most belligerent of them through the hand rather than killing them. She then kidnaps their children to use as hostages, only to murder everyone who surrenders to save their kids' lives. | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu | |
| The Punisher (1989) / int_82f5ced1 | comment |
Conservation of Ninjutsu: Averted. Frank only manages to take on large groups of targets when he has the element of surprise. His initial plan to take advantage of the Mafia and Yakuza's feud was to stay out of it and mop up the survivors as getting caught in the initial crossover unaware had him barely managing to fight his way out. Later on, after gunning down dozens of Tanaka's men with an ambush, just two of them give him immense trouble once his gun is knocked out of his hands. | |

Children Are Innocent: A predominant theme in the movie: When Frank learns that Tanaka has been targeting the mob bosses' children, he goes out of his way to save them, and even gets brought in as a result. In the end, Franco's son sees his father die in the struggle with Frank for a gun, and gets the idea to take up that gun and pull it on Frank, who ain't even mad. | |

Faux Affably Evil | |
| The Punisher (1989) / int_95b7c400 | comment |
Faux Affably Evil: More like "faux polite", but Lady Tanaka keeps on being polite even as she does such ruthlessly horrible things as take the sons of the Mafia dons as hostages (and when the Dons pay up, decide to sell them as slaves anyway) and put a gun in a man's mouth and blow his brains out for spitting on her (because he decided to be Defiant to the End after being lucky not to drink some poisoned wine at the same time as all the other crime lords). The only time she drops the polite act is when she forces Franco to kill himself to prevent her from killing his son (with no guarantee that she won't do it anyway) and starts to laugh at the situation. | |
