LOL GOTCHA BITCH BOONDOCK SAINTS IS PURE rear end. Boondock Saints is a 1999 Quentin Tarantino rip off movie about two hot guys with cute accents who shoot people because Jesus. They are brothers and also pray and kill people execution style. It's one of the worst movies ever made.  [Image: Pulp Fiction]  Someone get a me a wet floor sign The movie opens with the two hot Irish brothers loving around at work and then beating the poo poo out of a "feminist" type lady who tries to explain the origins of the term "rule of thumb". One of them complains that it should've been called the "rule of wrist" before busting her square in the chops. Its downhill from here. If you've ever considered Willem Dafoe a serious dramatic actor, then watch this film. He plays an FBI agent who's also gay. His sexuality is completely immaterial to the script except for one (comedic?) scene where he slaps a little twinky asian guy in the face and calls him the f-slur for wanting to cuddle after insinuated buttsecks. He also dresses like a woman at one point and then has an embarassing slow motion scene where he does a weird arm dance while a gunfight happens behind him.  ACT-ING There is another scene where a bad-guy gangster continually corrects a man attempting to tell him a racist joke, insisting he use the n-word instead of "black guy" or "blacks". There is another guy named "gently caress-rear end" who says gently caress! rear end! alot, and actually I've got no complaints here because screaming profanity is actually pretty funny to me. Did I mention how hot and accented the main characters are? They have cool hand tattoos like this:  There are a non-zero number of dude-bros walking around with these EXACT tattoos that they got because of the movie. If you ever see one I encourage you to say "hey! did you get those tattoos because of boondock saints?" and watch them scramble to come up with the fake, lie reason they got the tattoo after they realized 10 years down the track that movie tattoos suck balls and age badly. (see also guys with Tyler Durden tattoos from the same era) Aside from the above the entire thing is just a bad shooty film that attempts to capitalize on the trend of using 90s-style religious iconography about 5 or 6 years too late. Worst of all though, is that its meant to be a dumb action film, and it fails to be dumb or produce good action. I'm not saying this movie is intelligent, because it certainly is not. But all the religious iconography, praying, latin bullshit, and "MayBe KiLliNg BaD gUyS iS gOoD?!" messaging is just clamoring to tack on some kind of meaning to a really, really bad script. The tone is all over the place. One minute there's a hilarious scene about the n-word, the next scene people are praying dressed like Dennis Leary placing pennies on the eyes of the executed. The action scenes are absolute garbage with the final shootout being literally The Gorton's Fisherman standing still in front of a house unloading like 12 pistols. Oh and then what a twist turns out he was the main hot-guy brother's dad all along.  This is the main bad guy from The Boondock's Saints This movie sucks.

They made a sequel and somehow convinced Billy Connolly to be in it again. I don't remember what happens in it.

About all I remember about the movie is a toilet being dropped from a tallish building, because there's something satisfying about smashing porcelain. Yes, I am 10 years old.

my dog died im sad posted:Wasn't the guy who wrote this movie legit nuts. Like bonkers. As a purposefully over the top action movie designed to parody the idea of vigilantism it's pretty funny. Someone in another thread said the writer meant it all completely straight faced and vigilantism is good so who knows.

Around 2009 or so a person I knew became homeless and needed a place to stay, so I let her and her boyfriend stay in my living room until they got on their feet. After they moved out again (into an unsustainable, way too big and way too expensive for their income apartment but that's another story) the boyfriend insisted I watch Boondock Saints with him. I remember thinking some scenes were like "Oh, okay, I can see why you're into that, former military guy who can't budget in the Great Recession economy," but most of the movie I was not really impressed.

But have you considered how much having an old Irish bartender with Tourette syndrome and an inability to correctly remember adages could add to every action movie? Also I am pretty sure it's ok to go into any bar in Boston and say "hey fuckass get me a beer" to optimize your service

Um there is no denying that young Norman Reedus is insanely hot even next to Adonis Connelly Seriously, I watched the movie and was checking out Norman and I'd never seen him before. He's a perfect example of the power of charisma Well Harvey Keitel too
