The Boondock Saints

Who else loves this movie. Ranking at number 2 in my fave movies of all time behind The Proffesional. I must have watched it 2 times a day for the last few weeks. anyone else in my boat?

Not I.

It is in my honest opinion, the worst movie I have ever seen. Everything is horrible; acting, directing, story.

Willem Dafoe in drag? No thank you! schmoll

That one blondie Irish guy is a total babehzoid though! droolio

One of my top movies too 🙂 The guy your referring to is sean patrick flannery Tex

I liked 'The Boondock Saints' the first time I saw it but, after seeing it again, I've decided that it's only OK. The accents of the Oirish boys are all over the place and some of the acting is terrible...Especially 'Funny Man'...Also, the end credits sequence is appallingly bad.

the news style thing where they question the public about their veiws on the Saints attack on crime and scum? i didn't see anything wrong with it

Tabby, you're not alone. I watch BDS on average once a week. It is by far one of my favorite movies. The only reason it isn't #1 on my list is because that position is held by Breakfast Club... which is really only there due to sentimental value.

Alright, so the accents pretty much sucked. Flanery's wasn't too horrible, though Reedus' was definitely craptackular. But Goddamn they looked good in that movie... especially in the deleted scene with the phone call from Ma.

Yes, "Funny Man" (David Della Rocco) isn't the greatest actor. You know why? Because it was his first film. And in reality, you can't say he was a bad actor for the part, since the part was actually written for him specifically and after his own personality. How can he suck at playing himself?

The end credits were done that way on purpose to make it look as if it was a real news program going out and getting the opinions of real people. Fairly successful in my opinion.

Yes, Defoe looks horrible in drag. But then again, he's ugly as hell as a man as well.

And you know, it's still a great movie. And there are a whole s**t-load of fans out there who will agree with me. But then there's the other end of the spectrum that's filled with people who feel it necessary to tell fans of any movie that they're morons for liking a movie that they don't happen to find worthy (yes, I have actually been called a moron for being a BDS fan).

If you don't like the movie, fine, express your opinion, but don't bash on me for mine. If the movie had absolutely no value and was a complete waste of film there wouldn't be so many fans of it and it would never have achieved the status of cult classic as BDS has.

You know... that kind of ended up being a rant, didn't it?

I love this movie too. Very powerful scenes. I thought the acting was excellent. Every single character fell in place and was unique. Defoe is awesome in every movie he plays in it seems. Anyway tabby, yes ive watched this movie many times in the same week.

I've watched in many times in one day. 3rd fav movie.

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Kill Bill (1+2)
3. Boondock Saints

Oh, no...Nothing wrong with treating your audience like infants and force-feeding them situational 'reality'...It's such a sophisticated ploy...

It's not coming out next week, Paris is not in it... it's just a joke us Flockies enjoy playing on the newbies... he happened to be the newbie this time. 😂

I was going to say, because that was the biggest load of bullshit I ever read.

Myth, I just realized that your question about why BDS was straight to video was never answered.

It was not because of 9/11, but because of Columbine. The school shooting occurred only days before (or after, not completely sure on that) the theatrical release of the film.

The movie was also blacklisted, but I'm not entirely sure why.

Thanks. I forgot that I ever asked that question here but I do remember now.
