The Boondock Saints

Started by 7-117 pages

My favorite movie, my favorite part, when the guy drops the toilet on the other guy from the roof 馃槃

When is part two going to finally come out? According to IMDB they've been working on it for quite sometime. Overnight is a really good documentary on the making of the first one.

ccording to the film's official website, the release date of the sequel The Boondock Saints: All Saints Day was September 2005 (this didn't happen, however). The sequel continues from the courtroom scene at the end of the first film. Industry insiders have long speculated that the actual production of this sequel is extremely unlikely considering that Troy Duffy has had no film directing or producing experience since 1999, and believe sequel rumors were being used as an attempt to promote the first film.

In late March of 2002, Duffy posted a letter to fans of the first film, claiming that financial backing had been found for a sequel. It would reportedly have twice the budget of the original film, and "experience a theatrical release." Willem Dafoe will not be returning, according to the posted letter.

Information for the sequel was formerly available on IMDb, where it was categorized as in development. However, as of January 2006 all information regarding the sequel has been removed from IMDb.

according to an interview i read with norman reedus: he, sean patrick flanery, & troy duffy (i don't know about who else) will all be returning for the sequel.

i've also heard that FOX is funding it.

there's a rumor that it'll be out on next St. Patrick's Day but that seems unlikely.

I heard it was canned. Are you sure they are still trying to make this?

yeah, pretty friggin' sure. that interview was just last month.

It was a really great movie. One of my favorite.

However, it really does not need a sequel. It is excellent as a stand-alone movie, and another one would cheapen its... 'feel' for me. 馃槵

Boondock Saints has to be the WORST movie I have ever seen in my life! 馃憞

And I'm not exaggerating!

The directing, acting, writing, screenplay were all horrendous!

Willem Dafoe should shoot his agent for this!
How embarrassing!

It's absolutely atrocious!
I couldn't stop laughing, not because the movie was funny, because it was so horribly awful!

Willam Dafoe in drag will forever haunt my dreams! puke

It's the wrost movie i have ever seen. Taxi Driver is a much better movie then Boondock Saints. Taxi Driver kills Boondocks thats just pretty much a fact. 馃槇

I agree, I wont go as far as to say it was the worst movie ever but it's definitely up there. Movies like these are especially disappointing when they seem to have somewhat of a good cult following.

Any movie that has Ron Jeremy in any type of starring role has to be really bad...ughhh...*shuddering*... And the comedian Billy Connolly as the ultimate assassin..lol..Willem Defoe playing the role of a gay detective and at one pt dressed in drag...lmao...If you're reading all this and saying to yourself...'WoW...this sounds like a hillarious comedy'...well that's the problem, it's not mean to be.

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.

Yeah, those end credit scenes cheapened the movie even more IMO if that were possible.

Anyway, to each his own I suppose.

ah i see, because Billy isn't allowed to do something serious?

I dont see why people are comparing it to Taxi Driver. Because there are some vigilantes in it? Why not compair Saving Private Ryan with Hot Shots? They're both about war after all, they deserve to be held up side by side right?

Duffy here.

Hey, everyone. Troy Duffy here (wrote and directed this ****er) and this is my first post on myspace. The first question most fans have is "WHERE'S OUR GODDAMN SEQUEL, **** TOAST?!" Here's the skinny. For the last three years we have been embroiled in a lawsuit in which the rights to the sequel were caught up. Recently (just a few weeks) we untangled them and got the rights out. We are currently in the process of making the deal with our financiers. What does this mean? Often nothing. "In the process" and seven ****ing bucks will get you a cup of coffee in L.A. However, based on the success of BDS and the conviction of both myself (plus producers) and our potential financiers, confidence is high that we will have a deal soon. Can't formally "announce" that we have one yet but I'll keep you guys posted. Keep thy fingers crossethed! T.Duff

just found this myspace blog from the official BDS myspace.
exciting to say the least.

The Boondock Saints: All Saints Day, also known as The Boondock Saints II, is the planned sequel to The Boondock Saints. The film has been in the works since spring of 2002, and has just recently made major progress. In an interview with IGN, Duffy explained the litigation with the company that controls the rights to the first film, Duffy went on to express his, as well as most of the cast's, interest in making the sequel:

"Everybody's back in except Willem Dafoe, because sometimes actors have their careers plotted out in different ways and he's sort of doing a different thing now. So he's the only one who won't be back. Billy Connolly, the brothers, Rocco, everybody's in and calling me every two weeks and going when are we going to do this thing?"

The story starts with a bit more in depth on the court house scene which ended the last film. As soon as they

, it is revealed that the MacManus father and sons have been hiding out deep in the glens and valleys of Ireland for three years. Connor and Murphy are quite content with this "natural" life and their pasts begin to seem faded and worn. But soon they receive a "sign" and are called back into action as a pastor is murdered in a Boston church and the crime scene is staged to make it look like the work of the Saints.

If Rocco is going to be in the sequel, it would have to be strictly flashback sequences since

he dies in the first movie.

I really like The Boondock Saints, even if it is a cheap movie. I enjoyed the humor of the film, especially the "cat scene". 馃槀

I saw this movie and liked it at first. But after repeated viewings, I began to soon realize that it really doesn't have much value to it. Or at least to me.

you are insane. an insane person, I say.

I have never seen this movie, but everyone likes it. Is it really that good? Should I see it?
