I really dont think theres anyway War Zone could have been a hit, even with better promotion. It's just not that type of movie that would have had wide audience appeal. And I think a lot of that had to do with the general public who didn't care much for the Jane movie, so the brand was already a little tainted.
And don't get me started on the villains. They were memorable alright...in how laughable they were. A jumping around gang of 3 laughing jackasses? Looney Bin Jim running into mirrors, making cat noises, repeatedly saying he's going to "keel Cassul" every scene? The disgrace of wasting the character name Pitsy on that buffoon? Ugh. Jigsaw was entertaining though, I think Dominick West did a good job with what he had.
In all fairness to what you said about Dolph, it's not like the Punisher always wears armor in the comics either. But whats funny about that is in the comic adaptation, before they raid the Yakuza Dojo, he grabs a vest and spray paints the skull on it.
But as is popular legend with the movie, the producers thought the skull was cheesy, so they nixed it. That movie had Ninjas on slides, War Zone had Frank spinning upside down on a chandelier. I'd say they're even
To get back to the figure, I've just about finished putting together the M4. Modding the grenade launcher turned out to be a little easier than I thought it would be. I'm just going to wait for the Barney Ross rifle for the red dot. I do have a John Conner, but I figure why ruin his rifle when they've kind of dried up these days.
