The Boondock Saints

Well, I rented it this afternoon, along with 5 other movies, I'll be sure to chime in later.

That's rich, I never commented, lol. Anywho, I watched it again this afternoon and really enjoyed, and it's a cheap DVD, so a purchase is imminent.

As for the movie, it has a cult following, and rightfully so. It's not over-rated, because it's not hailed by critics or anyone that matters. It's a pulp indie with a great storyline, and it's HARDLY the new age "Taxi Driver". If anything, it's more John Shaft than Travis Bickle. Bickle wasn't a street vigilante. Bickle's reincarnation was Sam Bick. Sheer coincidence that both characters were discouraged by their governments and lashed out in violence, not to mention the names are similar?

I've gone way off topic, though. Boondock Saints had some cliche action elements, but it was still quite unique and very enjoyable, not to mention carried one of the greatest quotes I've ever heard.

"Cuddle? What a ***.." 😆

indeedy, love this flick (you know, not that i didn't mention it a few times through this thread)

Yeah, this is a really good movie. I loved Rocco (THE FUNNY MAN). That one joke with the white guy, the black guy, the Mexican, and the genie was hilarious.

I don't feel it's overrated either because I don't see much of a following for it. There was a thing or two I would've changed but overall, it was quite good.

I'll be awaiting Boondock II: All Saints Day. This movie has the potential for many sequels but it'll be missing David Della Rocco and Willem Dafoe unfortunately.

well rocco was a given (you know, being dead and all) and Dafoe, well i guess hes too busy now days to make another BS movie

love this movie

Edited for really pointless remark..

Now that I think about it, I hope they don't get some crap actor to imitate Dafoe in the sequel.

i know. Dafoe played that character well

i dont think Duffy is the kind of guy to settle for second best. when he made the first one a rather large movie studio approached him to take his script but he was told to make some concessions to the script. he told the rather large movie studio to stick it up their arse and kept looking. hes not gonna hire a hack to replace willem, hes to clever for that

My favorite movie of all time, it's so awsome. It's a very religous movie, which is kinda weird that I like it so much, seeing as how I'm atheist lol But it's a really good movie, anyone seen it?

I like it. Willem Dafoe crossdressing I felt was unneeded though.

A SE is coming out later this month. I doubt I'll get it. I'm happy with the DVD I have.

I don't have it so I'll probably get the SE.
But yea, a fun movie to watch with friends.

Merged.

Don't talk like that, dammit. What you two buddies do on you're own time is your business!

Yeah, I'm awaiting Boondock II as well. It won't be the same without Rocco though. 🙁

I still haven't seen it

But I'm buying it for my birthday.

Just saw it. I gotta say, I really enjoyed it.

The ending was really exciting. Although, Willem Dafoe was extremely disgusting. 😬
