If you read that last post in my RPG, I involved a character that I think that has one of the coolest origins around. I see him as Marvel's response to DC's Batman. He had a movie in 1989, and was portrayed by Dolph Lundgren. In 2004, another movie was released, but not as a sequel. Thomas Jane was taking the title role, and many gave him praise for his performance as The Punisher. He even did the voice talent for the 2005 video game, acting as the movie's sequel, taking place a year later. Now in 2008, Another movie is in post-preduction, with Irish actor Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle A.K.A Punisher.

Anyway, when the 2004 movie came out, the soundtrack was spearheaded by the return of Drowning Pool, with a new single called "Step Up." The soundtrack is very good, I highly recommend it.

Drowning Pool-Step Up

ONE TWO THREE GO!

BROKEN!
Yeah, you've been living
On the edge of a broken dream
NOTHING!
Yeah, that's the only thing
You'll ever take away from me

I'm never gonna stop
I'm never gonna drop
Ain't no different than it was before
So take some good advice
You better stop and think twice
Before you take your first step
Out that door

If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down
You had your chance to walk away
Live to see another day
If you wanna step up (Step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
You're gonna get knocked down

SUFFERING!
Yeah, that's the only thing
Here that's left for you
NOTHING!
Yeahthat's the only thing
You're ever gonna fuckin' do

I'm never gonna stop
I'm never gonna drop
Ain't no different than it was before
So take some good advice
You better stop and think twice
Before you take your first step
Out that door

So if you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down
You had your chance to walk away
Live to see another day
If you wanna step up (Step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
You're gonna get knocked down

You're gonna get knocked down...
And now you've crossed that line
You must be out yo mind
GO!

If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
If you wanna step up (Step up)
You're gonna get knocked down
You had your chance to walk away
Live to see another day
If you wanna step up (Step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (Knocked down)
You're gonna get knocked down

You're gonna get knocked down
You're gonna get knocked down (STEP UP!)

Bonus video. The video below is my favorite part of the movie. Punisher is ambushed by hired muscle in his apartment. The Russian is played by Kevin Nash. For those who don't know, Kevin Nash is a professional wrestler working in Total Nonstop Action, and is mostly known for his time in WWF (now WWE) as Diesel and in WCW as a founding member of the New World Order under his real name. During filming of this scene, he was actually stabbed. I don't know if they used that footage for the final cut, but by the looks of it, probably not.
