Boondock II: All Saints Day..hell yes!

[[Faustinas]]

OMG I just saw this on IMDb:

Boondock II: All Saints Day (2005) (in production)

Let's everyone Riverdance! :cool:

[logan_weapon_x]

This has long been rumoured and nothing has come of it.

[[Faustinas]]

This has long been rumoured and nothing has come of it.

Hm, well it's a pleasant thought regardless

[fallenAngel]

This has long been rumoured and nothing has come of it.

Yeah what he said.

[DDRSkata]

A couple weeks ago, Troy Duffy updated his site and said it's still on the way.

[KenK]

Can't Wait! Boondock Saints surprised the hell outta me! The narrative was great, the action was superb, and there are nothing but great performances. It's still great with repeat viewings.

[Carmine Falcone]

I just watched it again yesterday and it is a damn cool and funny movie. I hope the sequel will be equally as good or better.

[Golgo-13]

This movie is a true underrated classic!

[Matthew Murdock]

The first one is awesome! :up: Hope the sequel is as good though. :-l

[Strange]

I liked the first movie, it was pretty good and the actors did a great job. My only problem was sometimes it was really hard to understand what the hell they were saying.

[Carmine Falcone]

:p Then watch it with subtitles...

[Kable24]

I'm not holding my breath for the sequel. I've been hearing ahout this since 2000.

[WormyT]

As a REAL irishman I thought the movie was a little Lame.
An interesting idea, but poorly executed. like 'The Way Of The gun' it was TOO far fetched in its depiction of violence and valor.
I liked the 2 main characters and found camp Dafoe Amusing, but did NOT buy Billy Connelly (scottish comedian) as the scarey prisoner commando.

I really thought Dafoes 'look the other way' attitude at the end was a little silly.

Plus that bearded maniac that befriended them was really annoying.
I like the 2 main characters though.

[Carmine Falcone]

new ( I think) info:


Sean Patrick Flanery .... Connor MacManus
Norman Reedus .... Murphy 'Murph' MacManus
Marley Shelton .... Eunice Bloom
Clifton Collins Jr. .... Romeo
Billy Connolly .... Il Duce

And there are rumours David Della Rocco will be back too.

[Dr.Fear]

whats it about?

[Carmine Falcone]

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

from IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330083/plotsummary)

[Golgo-13]

Wait people is it Boondock asints, or brodeirck saints?I always thought it was the latter?..We are talking about the one with the guy who played young indiana jones,and william Dafoe was in it right?

[Carmine Falcone]

We are talking about the one with the guy who played young indiana jones,and william Dafoe was in it right?

Yes.

[svfreakofweek]

I hated that band all saints

[GuardianofOa]

That is good news. waiting with an evil grin.

[Golgo-13]

Yes.
So is it Boondock? Or Broderick saints? I always thought it was the latter, but i haven't seen it in a minute....

[DDRSkata]

So is it Boondock? Or Broderick saints? I always thought it was the latter, but i haven't seen it in a minute....

Boondock Saints.

[Kent]

Without Willem Dafoe, or someone with the same ammount of talent I don't see this working. I mean, at least to me, Dafoe's incredibly enjoyable performance was what made the movie. I mean... bought the DVD for the "and there was a firefight" sequence alone... it's not that great a movie if you strip it of Dafoe's performance.

[Golgo-13]

Defoe dressed in drag for christ sake..your gonna miss that..????

[Metamorpho1977]

I hated that band all saints


yeah, but they were hot.

[gazi]

']OMG I just saw this on IMDb:

Let's everyone Riverdance! :cool:

BOONDOCKS WAS TERRIBLE

[Carmine Falcone]

no it ****ing rocked.

[melaniaBDS]

I loved the first Boondock, but I can't figure out if the sequel is real or just a rumor. Is it real or not?:confused:
If it is were can I get it?

[Aren]

IMD listed TBS All Saints Day like 2 years ago or maybe more...

[melaniaBDS]

I know about that, but I can't find the movie. Or anyone who has seen the movie.

[Carter]

the status of this flick hasnt changed in over a year

[melaniaBDS]

what's your point?

[#1Batmanfan]

it starts filming on oct 20th http://www.omdc.on.ca/Page3606.aspx


and troy has done some pre production videos check them out !!!

http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=realboondocksaints

[#1Batmanfan]

filming just started !!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-4IvqhW9wc

[cerealkiller182]

yeah Bob Marley (the comedian not the singer) was on the radio a couple of weeks ago and said he was on his way to vancouver to start filming.

[Poeman]

oh hell yess..one of the most anticipated ever

[블라스]

This is happening?? SWEET!

[#1Batmanfan]

i hope it turns out well !

[Donnie Darko]

oh ****. I really didn't think this was ever going to happen. I REALLY hope this doesn't suck.

[Nivek]

I guess Troy Duffy isn't blackballed anymore in Hollywood. I guess his smart merchandising of Boondock Saints, along with the Weinstiens clout fading fast, he got some financing. Good, they guys an egomaniac, but so is Michael Bay, George Lucas, Michael Bay, and tons of other chumps. Troy just got to full of himself

I really enjoyed Boondock Saints, I hope All Saints Day is up to snuff. Come on Troy, do a Dark Knight and make this one better than the first.

[Eklypze]

yea baby!!! This **** is great!

[Octoberist]

For the life of me, I just don't get Boondock Saints. It's a fun movie, but I don't understand the cult following that it has..

[AlteredEgo]

the first movie is odd for me in the fact that i only like it every other time i watch it. :huh:

[#1Batmanfan]

julie benz and clifton colins jr join the cast !!

[citizenpain]

boondock saints is a badass movie but i just can not imagine a sequel to it that would surpass or even match the greatness of the original. especially without willem dafoe.

[Carmine Falcone]

It's funny to read my 3 year old post on this page, where I say that The Boondock Saints rocks. Now I think it's quite a bad movie, since my taste in movies has evolved in the years.

[ross2287]

My friend just told me preprod wrapped on this recently.

Really too bad about Willem Dafoe not coming back. Here's hoping that it doesn't suck.

[Spider-Who?]

Production is finished, and they're nearly complete with post production (if not done already). Troy said that it will be released November 1st (All Saints Day, a la the name of the flick), but that they might release it a little sooner.

[bullets]

I can't wait

[#1Batmanfan]

trailer to be shown at comic con !

[Nivek]

well, I guess he will be hitting his target demo releasing the Trailer there.

[KenK]

I can't believe this is actually happening. I loved the first film, then saw Overnight and found myself hating Duffy. But I still love the film, and I can only hope he's realized how lucky he is to have gotten a second chance.

[Mister H.]

Lame.

[That-Guy]

I can't believe this is actually happening. I loved the first film, then saw Overnight and found myself hating Duffy. But I still love the film, and I can only hope he's realized how lucky he is to have gotten a second chance.

Pretty much how I feel, too. Boondock Saints is a cult classic for sure, with great performances all around, a very engaging story and something to say about the American legal system (although it's essentially not anything we haven't heard before).

But yeah, if Overnight is any indication, Duffy is a douche who thought WAY too highly of himself when he was just coming out of the gate. I'm not sure if Boondock Saints II will be good... the first one isn't exactly the type of film that seem liked it could have a sequel, but well, I'm willing to be optimistic. I'm glad that Flanery, Reedus and Connolly are coming back... those are three guys that are really solid actors but never really made it big.

My biggest concerns are the departure of Dafoe and the addition of Benz. Dafoe doesn't seem particularly money or fame hungry these days (he just did Antichrist) so for him not to return might be the result of a mediocre script. As for Benz, I like her on Dexter, but the last two films I've seen her in were horrible (Ramblow and Punisher: Snore Zone). There is obvious concern when I see her sign onto yet another gun-heavy movie.

[King K]

So is the sequel DTV or is it getting a theatrical release?

[That-Guy]

So is the sequel DTV or is it getting a theatrical release?

Wondering that myself. If it is release in theaters, I have a feeling that it will end up like Serenity... all of the fans will go see it... and that's it. So it won't do very well.

* David Della Rocco (Rocco)

Rocco's Ghost!?!

[cerealkiller182]

yup

[That-Guy]

Really, are you sure? I thought they said Rocco was just going to appear in a flashback or something.

I guess it could work if the brothers get another "vision" like they did in the first movie.

[Nivek]

Great, I loved his character in the first film, I'm happy he is at least making a cameo in this film.

This movie is destined to fail...

[Spider-Who?]

This movie is destined to fail...
why do you say that, mister negativity?

[Johnny Drama]

why do you say that, mister negativity?

Because it lacks the one quality that made Boondock Saints watchable:

Willem Dafoe.

[Spider-Who?]

Because it lacks the one quality that made Boondock Saints watchable:

Willem Dafoe.
Ah, I see. Well, I guess on the chance that you DO watch it, you skip all the scenes that don't include Dafoe, so you really don't know what the rest of the movie holds. Just because YOU don't like the movie, only means its "destined to fail" in your own little world. No one elses. Go be a troll somewhere else.

[블라스]

No.

Just because I don't like it? No, that's not why it's destined to fail. It will fail because there is little interest among the general public. I mean, hell, this tread was started almost 5 years ago and here we are on page 3?
Yeah, this movie is going to be a big one :whatever:

And I just love the tightwads on this site call you a "troll" whenever you have an opinion that isn't in sync with theirs. You know, you can just not think something is a good idea, and it doesn't make you a troll for sharing your opinion. This isn't the "Boondock Saints Appreciation thread", so If I decided to express my feeling on the movie, and the feeling is a negative one, I will do so. Go be annoying somewhere else.

[Nivek]

Troll-tastic.

[Johnny Drama]

So because I think this is stupid idea it makes me troll? Explain your logic? I just simply stated my opinion.

Oh wait, you are Nivek, and your mind isn't capable of handling other peoples opinions so you immediately point a finger and yell "troll" when you come across an opinion that differs from yours. Grow up dude. You being the guy who notoriously trolled the Hulk boards in 2003, your insults fall short and would be hypocritical if they were accurate. They aren't. Buh-bye now.

1) when you come into a thread and make a negative comment like "this movie is destined to fail" like its God's truth with no real reason to back it up, yeah, you're kinda being a troll.

2) Yes, you actually give a good point about BS2 having a small fan base say, in comparison to Iron Man 2, and because of that, it might be safe to assume that it won't break records on its opening day. There is "little interest" because the general public (btw how do you know if the general public is interested or not? do you swarm the streets taking a poll?) doesn't know about the original film, and only those who are aware and/or fans are even aware that this sequel is coming out (until promos start). But that doesn't mean it will "fail". If the fans love it and it is enjoyable to those not familiar with the first one, then it has succeeded, regardless of how much money it rakes it. So, if you are the kind of person that only cares about numbers, good for you. Go be an accountant.

I did give a real reason. Boondocks Saints was an okay movie, Without Dafoes performance it wouldn't have been as good as it was, theirfore, a sequle without Dafoe will fail. This is a movie that doesn't even need a sequle to begin with.

It's not even about the numbers that the film will pull in. It's about the lack of actual talent involved in this project. I was excited to heard Marley Shelton would be in this, then I heard Julie Benz got the part. Pass. I like the first movie enough to think a sequel is not the best idea. Still don't see how having a difference of opinion makes me a troll but I guess I am just supposed to keep my opinions to myself if they don't match up with the 2 of you? No kiddo, that's not how this works. Put an egg in your shoe and beat it. :o

[Nivek]

... you're kinda being a troll.

Advice, just put him on ignore, and move the conversation along, don't waste time trying to prove a point.

Anyway, got this from Normans my space, a link to an interview with the cast, talking about some plot points...

Boondock saints 2 Comic-con coverage from Fused Film (http://fusedfilm.com/2009/07/2009-comic-con-boondock-saints-ii-interviews-trailer-premiere-at-comic-con/)

[Johnny Drama]

Edit

[Johnny Drama]

Nivek, you put people on ignore when you realize they are right and it gets under your skin, because you don't have the ability to properly prove your point. It's okay Nivek, I know your deal. Rather than admit you are wrong, you walk away.

[Spider-Who?]

I did give a real reason.

Only after I asked you to do so.

Without Dafoes performance it wouldn't have been as good as it was, theirfore, a sequle without Dafoe will fail. This is a movie that doesn't even need a sequle to begin with.

MOST movies don't "need" a sequel, however that doesn't mean it is automatically a bad idea to make one. And if you think Dafoe was the only good thing about the movie, cool. That is YOUR opinion, its not a fact. The movies are about the brothers and their attempts a justice, not laughing at Dafoe's effeminate personality.

It's not even about the numbers that the film will pull in. It's about the lack of actual talent involved in this project. I was excited to heard Marley Shelton would be in this, then I heard Julie Benz got the part. Pass.

Lack of actual talent? Ahem.

Peter Fonda: Nominated twice for an Academy Award. Has over 10 other wins for Golden Globes and others.

Judd Nelson: Golden Globe Winner

Sean Patrick Flanery: He played "Powder" and Young Indy. Nuff said.

Billy Connolly: has 6 best actor/best comedic performance nominations under his belt.

Norman Reedus: Won a Best Actor award for his performance in Floating.

These aren't soap opera stars.


I like the first movie enough to think a sequel is not the best idea. Still don't see how having a difference of opinion makes me a troll but I guess I am just supposed to keep my opinions to myself if they don't match up with the 2 of you?

Are you dumb? Or just looking for a fight? No one cares WHAT your opinion is. You wanna come into a thread supporting a movie and stand tall and say "HEY! I don't like this movie. Here's why...." thats cool. You are being a contributing member to a conversation. But when you come here and say "THIS MOVIE WILL SUCK!" in so many words and then run away, forcing people to either ignore you or request reasoning, that makes you look like you are doing nothing more than trying to rock the boat. IE: trolling.

No kiddo, that's not how this works.

Oh snap! You called me kiddo! That must mean you are older and wiser than I! What ever will I do?! :whatever:

Put an egg in your shoe and beat it. :o

Well, why would I do something like that? I mean, come on, that egg and shoe would be USELESS. ...Much like this conversation.

If you think Sean Patrick Flannery and Judd Nelson have an ounce of talent between the two of them, then there is no sense in even talking to you anymore.

All I said was this movie would fail. You asked why I thought that and I explained my reasoning. If you couldn't handle an opinion that was obviously different than yours, then why did you A) ask for it and B) cry like a little b*** when I gave it?

BTW, You DID ask for my opinion, might wanna go back and re-read where this all started and you will find you were the one who engaged me and started probing me for my opinion after I made a simple statement. I am sorry it wasn't the opinon you wanted :(

[Spider-Who?]

Hahahahahaha. Nice way to ease out of commenting on the other actors, or any of my other comments, for that matter. The two you've mentioned have been nominated and even won awards, so apparently their peers think they have at least some amount of talent....but sure, go ahead; i'm perfectly fine with you using that as an excuse to run away. Have fun. :)



but anyway, back on topic....

Agreed. At the very least, the artwork looks good. Maybe its meant to be a bridge between the two movies?

I think so, but I guess there is not much Vigilante Justice going on in an Irish Sheep Farm.

Clifton Collins Jr. (crank 2, Star Trek, Mike Judges Extract) interview Here (http://geeksofdoom.com/2009/07/20/conversations-with-god-clifton-collins-jr-talks-boondock-saints-2-star-trek-much-more/)

[Spider-Who?]

I think so, but I guess there is not much Vigilante Justice going on in an Irish Sheep Farm.
Ha. Well, I'd like to think that they didn't immediately jump the pond and start raising sheep after snuffing out Yakevetti (sp?) The last scene in the movie has Il Duce asking the boys if they're prepared to take it as far as need be, so it'd seem weird to immediatly go into hiding after asking their intentions of continuing. ...unless of course, sheep herding is a really brutal trade....

I imagine that they continued for a while, hell, they were probably gunned after by other gangs trying to stop them from killing everyone. On top of that you got the cops after them; I'd think its fair to say that they attempted to continue for a while, but it ended up getting to hot, so then they left. But, who knows. We'll find out, huh?

[Spider-Who?]

Dp!

[Eklypze]

I like Sean Patrick Flannery! He was Powder for ****s sake!!!! Plus Norman Reedus (sp) is an amazing underrated actor as well

[bullets]

Because it lacks the one quality that made Boondock Saints watchable:

Willem Dafoe.



awkward :csad:

[Episode29]

LOL. Dafoe's performance was so hilariously awful that it may trump even Nic Cage's Wicker Man job. Without him hamming it up, this film has nothing to offer other than exhausted 90's indie hitman cliches and badly staged action.

[Spider-Who?]

LOL. Dafoe's performance was so hilariously awful that it may trump even Nic Cage's Wicker Man job. Without him hamming it up,

I really liked Dafoe's performance. I loved how over the top it was. You know an actor is good when they can do a scene like "there was a fire fiiiiiiiight!" and you enjoy it despite "hamming it up" as you put it. Case in point: the over acting mob boss was cringe worthy at times. You just can't beat Dafoe.

this film has nothing to offer other than exhausted 90's indie hitman cliches and badly staged action.

I took much of the action to be poking fun at the action genre; over the top and purely done to "look cool" is what most action movies are about, and this movie does it with a **** eating grin, but in an original, understated (IE: no car chases, CGI, etc) way. And I think showing the AFTERMATH FIRST was an incredibly awesome way to tell the tale. Only movie I've ever seen do that was Memento. The comedy is great, as well ("Is it DEAD?!?") and I really dug most of the music and how it was used (the scene where Rocco walks into the bar and kills the mob guys is one of my favs).

I need the first one on bluray, baby :(

[KenK]

The fact that this sequel got made is enough of a success, IMO. Even as someone who loves the first film, I had almost zero faith in Duffy getting this new movie past the script phase after seeing Overnight. I found myself hating the guy, and having little sympathy for what happened over the course of making the first film. What was so crazy was the fact that it seemed like the film was never meant to see the light of day in the first place. It just seemed like something the Weinsteins bought and had every intention of keeping on the shelf, especially with Duffy's attitude being what it was. He just seemed completely devoid of humility. How long does anyone wanna deal with someone like that?

[Nivek]

From what I seen of Overnight and the type of individuals I have seen working in the industry, Duffy is an a-hole, but he is just another bird in the flock. He just melted down before he got anywhere.

[#1Batmanfan]

Trailer tomorrow at IGN, movie will be released Halloween weekend :)

[Nivek]

Groovy, about damn time!

[ross2287]

Awesome! :up:

[Visceral]

cant find it

[#1Batmanfan]

hmmm maybe tomorrow?

[The Dark Defender]

I haven't seen the first one yet, but Julie Benz is in this, so I can't wait.:up:

[King K]

I haven't seen the first one yet, but Julie Benz is in this, so I can't wait.:up:

Everyone I know either hates it or loves it, nothing in between. I love the movie and it's $14.99 on blu ray right now which is a steal.

Highly recommended.

[Nivek]

Damn, I thought the trailer finally popped up...

double post..

[Octoberist]

I forgot..are the brother native Bostonians with Irish blood, or are they straight from Ireland?

[BatMatt]

Certainly has potential. Julie Benz subbing for William Defoe is a downgrade of course but it could be fun. I like that the dialogue pokes fun at the "gratuitous violence"

[Doctor Jones]

Never seen the first one. But my uncle loves it and keeps telling me to see it.

[Master Chief]

It's a crazy movie. :up: Can't wait for this one. :heart: Good thing I only found out about it actually being made today. :o

[ross2287]

So what are you waiting for, Doctor Jones?

[Doctor Jones]

I'm waiting... to RENT THE BOONDOCK SAINTS! Huzzah!

[Gilpesh]

Alright. That trailer just looks like someone trying to do the Boondock Saints all over again (and yeah, I know it's the same dude behind the first)... only they don't have the same people, so there's some cheap replacements.

what r u talking about they have all the originals except for William daffoe

[cerealkiller182]

Full Irish. There was a deleted scene of them calling their mother in native Ireland on the DVD. They definitely werent talking with Boston accents. The brothers that is.

Alright. That trailer just looks like someone trying to do the Boondock Saints all over again (and yeah, I know it's the same dude behind the first)... only they don't have the same people, so there's some cheap replacements.

2 replacements, one of which is replacing a dead person. Thats not so bad

[Gilpesh]

what r u talking about they have all the originals except for William daffoe
And Rocco. Which they have seemed to replace with another guy.

[MrQuinn]

lol 5 years later and this movie is finally the real deal? I never even heard about this. Im not sure what to think...I kinda thought Boondock Saints was a one-time deal. Meh..

[Spider-Who?]

And Rocco. Which they have seemed to replace with another guy.

technically Roc IS in the movie...

[Spider-Who?]

to me, it looks like Boondock Saints with a half-decent budget this time around. My hope is that having a little extra money to do things didnt make Troy think he should do "super cool camera tricks" that are in actuality dumb. But from what I've seen, it seems to retain some amount of cheesy action movie flair, which is good. I'm looking forward to it. Oct 30th cant come quicker.

[Gilpesh]

technically Roc IS in the movie...
I saw when I looked up his name. But I mean... the third 'brother' who isn't actually one. That character is back again only with a new actor there.

[AlteredEgo]

i couldn't help but get a little excited watching that trailer. :o

[Spider-Who?]

I saw when I looked up his name. But I mean... the third 'brother' who isn't actually one. That character is back again only with a new actor there.
No, i totally get where you're coming from. This character can easily be seen like (and end up being) a cheap replacement for a great character. But i'll reserve judgment till I see the flick. (and Rocco wasn't a brother, either. Just their buddy.)

[Gilpesh]

(and Rocco wasn't a brother, either. Just their buddy.)
Yeah. That's why I'm more on the side of "cheap replacement" than new character that adds more to the sequel.

[AlteredEgo]

Yeah. That's why I'm more on the side of "cheap replacement" than new character that adds more to the sequel.
well, was the guy they're rolling with in the new trailer killing all those baddies in the beginning of the trailer single-handedly? 'cause that could be an interesting addition in place of "bumbling fool" rocco. not that i actually thought rocco was useless in the first one, but he was a little clumsy. :o

[Balthus Dire]

I can't friggin believe this is actually coming out!! I thought for sure it was just gonna sit in development hell forever. Good Lord it's been like 4 years since it was announced!

To be honest I thought a sequel was a ridiculous idea but it looks like they might actually make it worthwhile.

[The Chris]

I'm there. Boondock Saints is ridiculously fun. This looks more of the same.

[Balthus Dire]

I can't believe how different Sean Patrick Flannery looks. He looks like 10 years older and 20 pounds heavier. Doesn't even look like the same guy in some shots.

[DACrowe]

Can't wait.

[Cagefighterkip]

the movie looks amazing
the first is brillant
cannot w8 4 the flick 2 be released in less than 2 months :D

are you talking about at the very beginning of the trailer? thats not the same guy they're with now; its some bloke whose killing priests, which brings the brothers out of "retirement".

[Arbiter]

and 30 pounds heavier

damn only two months away :D

[Aesop Rocks]

This trailer was a total let-down, is Defoe coming back?

[AlteredEgo]

are you talking about at the very beginning of the trailer? thats not the same guy they're with now; its some bloke whose killing priests, which brings the brothers out of "retirement".oh man, right, i totally forgot about that plot element. :o sigh, well it woulda been a cool addition.

[CalebYourMaster]

im super hyped for this film...although it probably wont ever come close to the first one

[Arbiter]

This trailer was a total let-down, is Defoe coming back?
no dafoe

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah, I'm going to go a head and pass on this one...

[Balthus Dire]

um...he is 10 years older....

Yeah but so are Norman Reedus and Billy Connoly, but they still manage to look the same. Flannery just looks really different.

[FaT_tONle]

Damn SPF got old.... I guess young IJ is still a lasting image in my mind, but for a second I thought they recasted his character.

[Rac]

Yeah but so are Norman Reedus and Billy Connoly, but they still manage to look the same. Flannery just looks really different.

[Maximum Carnage]

Trailer looked like a piece'.. I caught it on Attack of the Show the other night. Loved the first, will def' pass on this.

[King K]

After seeing the trailer I'm a little skepticle. No Wilam Defoe sucks. I just don't see how this sequel can live up to the first.

[Balthus Dire]

I don't get all the hate. IMO, it looks awesome and from the looks of the trailer it seems to be quite in line with the tone and cinematography of the first one.

[thewhyteman]

Boon Docks didnt need a sequel.
Hollywood sucks. Its just gonna be more of the same, like Crank or Saw.

If they had a incredible story and ALL the main characters returning (Willem Dafoe)
then maybe Id buy into it. But so far its just looking like an echo of the first movie without the moving story line.

I don't see it that way, personally. The story sounds good to me with basically an anti-Saint character rivaling the McMannus boys and the mafia son getting revenge for his father.

Also, I don't care that Dafoe isn't in it. You don't always need every main character from the previous movie to make a sequel work. Look at Crank 2. As much as I love Crank 2, there was absolutely no need to bring back every single character from the first movie, and it hurt the overall film if you ask me.

[Nivek]

Didn't you get the memo? Hate is the cool thing to do to upcoming genre movies. Just like the hoser above who thought Crank 2 sucked. Missed the point completely of that franchise.

[xwolverine2]

i didnt watch the trailer because i thought it would look extremely cheap and waay worse.


i finally decided to see it.. and i actually think it looks pretty entertaining. As a sequel to the first it looks terrible, but as its own film it looks pretty good.

[Nivek]

Looks like a good sequel after 10 years. The actors look a bit older, but I just want to see the same personalities out of the guys.

[Jackasscoley15]

While I will see this, the cinematography looks like a downgrade from the first one, which was spectacular. Just something about the lighting and angles looks off, reminds me of Punisher: Warzone

[Doctor Jones]

From it's trailer Warzone looked like a B&R film while high.

[UnionJack]

I does look and remind me of Warzone and that doesn't offend me at all :D

This isn't being made because some faceless studio exec said "hey! this little movie made some cash! lets make it again!"

Troy Duffy the writer/director has FOUGHT for TEN YEARS to get those studio execs to say "okay".

So, i cant believe i'm saying this, but in this instance, dont hate hollywood, hate the director.


but i'm looking forward to the movie :)

This actually looks better than what I expected. It's almost surreal to see these characters again. Pretty good for something I never thought would see the light of day. I saw Clifton Collins in Sunshine Cleaning and I think he'll give a good performance.



Rocco was in the trailer

Granted, I think sequels can work without all characters. Matrix Reloaded worked out fine with out Marcus Chong's character. Even though tank was a cool character.
But Paul Smecker was a HUGE part of the first movie. And they replace him with a "protege?" I dont want to judge before I see it, but that's the kind of thing I am referring to with Crank and Saw. They just keep regurgitating old variables from the first story. Im not a fan of unnecessary repetition. Smecker was a vital character and it only makes sense for his story to continue. He could have been killed half way through the sequel, anything, but to not have him in is a waist of awesome character development from the first movie.

At least they did not replace one of the brothers. That would have really pissed me off.

No way I can hate on that guy. BDS was brilliant. But from what I understand he acted like a total ass and became his own worst enemy. So it probably is his fault that Dafoe didnt return.

[That-Guy]

Not sure what to think yet... can't tell if it's going to be good or not. Premise seems interesting enough. Hope it's good.

[redhawk23]

i reserve some hope that this will be at least enjoyable, but i think its been too long and its somewhat the wrong direction. proteges and whatnot

[MrQuinn]

I think this is just a horrible idea.


which means it will be part of a trilogy.

[The Guard]

Sure...we'll get a Boondock 3 in another 10 years.

nowhere near st. louis, this is crap

The fact that this is playing only on the east coast and CA is ridiculous. Not even any other major cities like Chicago, Miami or Dallas? What the hell!?

I've lost almost all interest in this sequel. How could it possibly amount to the first anyway? What a bunch of crap. If it does suck I hope it's Duff Man's last film.

[Balthus Dire]

The fact that this is playing only on the east coast and CA is ridiculous. Not even any other major cities like Chicago, Miami or Dallas? What the hell!?

Perhaps if it does well it'll get a wide release? But to be honest the first one didn't even get a wide release so I really don't care if I have to wait for DVD.

[Double Down]

My friend is an up and coming filmmaker and he gets to see a screening of this and hang out with the cast Monday. I would of been invited to go with him but I moved to florida this april. :argh:

The last press screening for this is tomorrow in L.A. I got invited to the screening and the press day on Monday, but I can't go (I don't live in California).

To make up for it, I am getting phone interviews on Monday with Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus and Clifton Collins Jr. So that's pretty cool. (Plus, one of my writers is still going to the screening and the press junket. Needless to say, we'll be covering the heck out of the movie.)

Anyway, does anyone have anything about either of the movies (within reason) that they would like me to ask one of those three actors?

[cerealkiller182]

Did all you people really expect the movie to come to your town with just a limited release?

Did all you people really expect the movie to come to your town with just a limited release?

Even with a limited release, more so with a highly anticipated sequel, I expected atleast 1 theater in Houston to show it. Only east/west coast showings is bull****.

So yes I assumed Saints II would have been in every major city.

Just interviewed Sean Patrick Flanery. Very cool guy. I enjoyed talking with him.

they need a "demand it" release like paranormal activity

I know there were some early screenings this past weekend (got invited to go, but the closest one was in Philly, 3 hours away). Anybody go? I've tried to find some reviews from the early showings, but haven't seen anything.

I'm hoping it will spread to a few other major cities in the coming weeks. The first one was only in 5 theaters, so the 70 that the sequel's got IS something, just wish they were spread out more (seriously, NY has like half of em).

For every one person who anticipates theres 4 who dont understand why. The movie is not as big as you pretend it is. Also only an east and west coast opening is not a bull**** move considering most limited releases start that way. BDS2 hasnt acted unlike any other independent release

[#1Batmanfan]

The First Five Minutes of ‘Boondock Saints II’ (http://itsjustmovies.com/3265)

that was a little cheesy but we'll see...

[Carmine Falcone]

There was a time I'd have gone crazy for this movie. Luckily.....that time is gone. That opening scene alone; what garbage. That cheesy solemnity, the baffling ass shots and awful music. I can practically hear the throbbing of Troy Duffy's hard-on in the editing room.

[DocHoliday]

Looks like crap.

[Balthus Dire]

The opening is a little cheese, but it still looks like it could be cool. The brothers with their haggard beards was a little much. So they go into hiding and stop shaving for 10 years? .....right.

I'm still interested to see this though. I think from what I've seen so far the movie's biggest potential downfall will be that it might be full of itself and come off as more of a joke movie. The first one didn't have a fanbase yet, so it was like an actual movie that took itself seriously most of the time, whereas this one (judging from what we've seen) seems like more of a "nod" to the fanbase or just a "fun" movie. Kind of like "lawl we made a sequel!"

I hope the movie is at least semi serious and isn't just a bunch of jokes and **** relating to the first one.

[Doctor Jones]

The first wasn't anything special for me. So I'm really not expecting much.

[DocHoliday]

The first wasn't anything special for me. So I'm really not expecting much.

Likewise...

[Spider-Who?]

Boondock Saints took itself seriously? Allow me to submit the "hanging upside down from the ceiling assassination" scene (they even joke about only seeing that **** in the movies). ...I didnt think so. And thats not a bad thing. It is a "fun" movie. If anyone is looking for a serious movie commentating on the state of our judicial system and normal citizens need for justice, Boondock Saints really isn't it. Go watch Law Abiding Citizen. And i would image that logic is a major reason why those that don't like it feel that way. Its a movie based solely on the desire to entertain, and nothing else.

I haven't watched the clip - I don't want to get a taste for it and be tortured waiting for a closer release location - but the idea that its cheesy doesn't bother me; MOST of the original movie is cheesy.

And complaining about the brothers sporting beards? Come on, thats a pretty pathetic complaint. For one, the constantly had a 5 o clock shadow in the first one, showing they really don't care about shaving to begin with. Second, they're completely outside normal society, and beards are mandatory. :cwink: Third, they're father has a beard. Sons emulate their fathers all the time - heck, the original reason I grew my hair long was because my dad had long hair. Its a natural thing. So, who cares if the boys are sporting beards while out in the wilderness? And finally, they're wanted for a public execution of a mob boss. EVERYONE is looking for them. Whats the next best thing to getting plastic surgery? Yup, growing a beard.

I loved the first one. But I'm not blind to its faults and "poor mans tarantino" style. I loved it for its cheese, its over the top violence, jokes, music, and countless attempts to shoot people in cool looking ways. The new movie could be a carbon copy of the original, and I'd still be happy. Why? Cause I know what to expect and I'm not expecting anything more than a fun and simple shoot 'em up flick.

[#1Batmanfan]

The budget for this was 8 million dollars !

[ChrisBaleBatman]

It looks like what I was expecting. Which is pretty awesome. Balls to the wall action with some comedy tossed in for good measure.

The beards wasn't a problem for me, since they're dad looks the exact same way. It's the cutting of the hair montage that was cheesy for me.

But, it's clearly doing it on purpose so it's all good. Atleast in those first 5 minutes.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I'm still interested to see this though. I think from what I've seen so far the movie's biggest potential downfall will be that it might be full of itself and come off as more of a joke movie. The first one didn't have a fanbase yet, so it was like an actual movie that took itself seriously most of the time, whereas this one (judging from what we've seen) seems like more of a "nod" to the fanbase or just a "fun" movie. Kind of like "lawl we made a sequel!"



The first one didn't take itself that serious.

There were alot of funny moments in the first one. Alot.

[Balthus Dire]

Good Lord people, I'm not saying the first one was Shawshank Redemption, but it wasn't as "self aware" as this one is within the first 5 minutes. This one seems to be quite aware that it's a successful cult hit, so it plays to the audience a bit more. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying it shouldn't be funny like the first one.

And to the guy crying about my beard comment, watch the video. I'm not even saying it makes the movie suck or anything, it just looks goofy as ****.

[The Guard]

The Boondock Saints was ALWAYS a little cheesy. The "cheesy solmenity" is found throughout the entire first film. The movie never took itself completely seriously, especially when there was action or investigation, or plot unfolding.

I think the beards are a nice touch.

Granted, this is only five minutes worth...but how is any of this "self aware"?

The only thing I see off is the actual footage of the killings played during the newsreporter's speech.

I see the filmmakers doing what they did in the first film. Poking fun at the supporting characters while playing the Saints almost perfectly straight. With almost the exact same tone.

[Spider-Who?]

heh, so my light hearted commentary about the beards constitutes "crying" over you comment? givin your opinions a little too much credit, there bud.

[bullets]

The beard thing wasn't really a problem for me but I could of done without the ass shots. At least its only a brief part of the film i guess.

[Balthus Dire]

I know it's the first five minutes, and I'm not even saying that the rest of the movie will suck. And I also know the first movie has a lot of funny parts and has a comedic undertone; it's actually one of my favourite movies.

The only example I can think of that's similar to what I'm trying to say is Crank 2. While they are obviously not even close to being similar in tone, I just hope BDSII doesn't make the mistake of Crank 2 by overdoing stuff from the first one because they know people thought it was cool. As if it was a "movie for the fans". That's what I meant by self-aware.

Anyway, whatever...like I've said before I'm not even saying the movie will be bad, just stating a worry of mine.


And beard-guy...all I did was drop a comment on how the beards looked to be a little much. You then called my comment a "pathetic complaint", when it wasn't even a complaint in the first place. I don't want to waste either of our time with such a dumb argument. You think it's cool? Great. I think it could've been a little less, as it looks like they haven't even showered in the 10 years they've been away. Just a little goofy, that's all I was saying.

An Interview With Writer-Director Troy Duffy (http://itsjustmovies.com/3333)

Just watched the first one again. Still really fun to watch. Here's hoping the second one is fun too!

IGN Review

http://movies.ign.com/articles/104/1040312p1.html

October 29, 2009 - Writer/director Troy Duffy (http://stars.ign.com/objects/918/918233.html) revisits the ultra-violent world of the MacManus brothers in The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (http://movies.ign.com/objects/026/026452.html), a longshot sequel that many fans of the 1999 original never thought they'd actually get. The sequel opens with the execution of a Boston priest in a manner that makes it look like the handiwork of the long-missing vigilante siblings Murphy (Norman Reedus (http://stars.ign.com/objects/916/916472.html)) and Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery (http://stars.ign.com/objects/916/916694.html)) MacManus.

Although the brothers -- who have been hidden away in their native Ireland (a ridiculously outdated and cliched depiction of the country) for the last decade with their hitman dad, Il Duce (Billy Connolly (http://stars.ign.com/objects/914/914903.html)) -- know that the murder is meant to draw them out of hiding, they are all too eager to oblige the killer and mete out some vengeful justice in return. During the trip back to Boston, they encounter Mexican-American wannabe thug Romeo (Clifton Collins, Jr (http://stars.ign.com/objects/914/914082.html).), whom they reluctantly enlist as their sidekick (he serves much the same function as "Funny Man" Rocco did in the first film).

Meanwhile, FBI agent Eunice Bloom (Julie Benz (http://stars.ign.com/objects/914/914370.html)), a sexy Southern belle and protege of the first film's now deceased agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe (http://stars.ign.com/objects/914/914788.html)), is on the trail of the Saints, finding herself in tow with the same three Boston detectives who aided the MacManus brothers last time around. The Saints (and the cops') quest for answers leads them to Boston crimelord Concezio Yakavetta (Judd Nelson (http://stars.ign.com/objects/917/917481.html)), the son of the mob boss slain by the Saints at the end of the original film. Concezio wants his revenge, but it becomes clear to the Saints that there may be other nefarious elements conspiring against them besides Concezio.

The Boondock Saints (http://movies.ign.com/objects/833/833352.html) II is a sequel made strictly for fans of the first film, one big valentine to them for making it such a cult phenomenon. Boondock II simply doesn't need to (or seems want to) appeal to anyone else. (You must have seen the original in order to get this movie.) And Duffy gives those fans exactly what they crave and then some: over-the-top, guns-blazing violence, music video-style sequences engineered simply to be "cool," and self-consciously written, darkly comic exchanges laced with as many pop culture nods and Boston references as they are F-bombs. (Think Quentin Tarantino crossed with Denis Leary; indeed, there's a whole speech about John Wayne that feels like it's been lifted right out of an old Leary stand-up act.)
Anyone other than die-hard Boondock fans, however, may find this sequel too over-the-top (in both action and humor) and too confusing (regarding certain characters' motivations) to fully enjoy. Some performances are so broad that they pull you right out of the movie. While Peter Fonda (http://stars.ign.com/objects/911/911080.html) brings some gravitas and understatement to his brief appearance as the mysterious Roman, Benz is just a Whitesnake song away from sprawling on the hood of a sports car. Collins, Jr. bugs his eyes out so much that he could be a Tex Avery cartoon, and a loud and hammy Nelson appears to be getting line readings from Al Pacino on a bad day.

As expected, everything in Boondock Saints II -- the violence, the performances, even the soundtrack -- is gratuitous. There's the bare-ass opening montage showing the MacManus' transformation from Old Testament-looking shepherds back into their old selves, or Bloom's gun-twirling, stripper-esque fantasy where she imagines how the boys pulled off a massacre. There's an abundance of racial jokes and epithets hurled at and sometimes by Romeo. It's not so much that these are overly offensive (anyone familiar with Boondock Saints will tell you that you damn well better check your sensitivity at the door), it's that their execution is hit-and-miss and far too obvious.

As a Bostonian who spent part of his youth in Ireland, the Boondock Saints movies seem tailor-made for the likes of me, and yet I never quite warmed up to the first film or this one. I intermittently enjoyed Boondock Saints II for what it was (more than I liked the original anyway), but it's ultimately a sloppy mishmash of macho posturing, music video slickness, and indie film "cool" speak that, well, just doesn't sound all that cool post-1990s. Again, Boondock fans will probably love this movie, but they're also the only people who likely will or should bother to see it.

2.5 out of 5 Stars

[Nivek]

Well, I liked what I seen in the opening footage, but then again, I am a unrepentant fan of the first film.

I put these movies in the same category as the Crank films. So I don't expect oscar quality performances, just some fun slathered with cheese.

[bullets]

I don't think he was too into the first one . The reviews have been consistent , which is a good thing . Anyone that was a fan of the original will most likely enjoy it but it's basically more of the same.

Yeah just like part one.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think there's an audience out there for it. A type of grindhouse-esque audience that just wants to have a fun few hours. People who liked Crank, etc.

[Balthus Dire]

Ugh dammit I wish my local theater was playing this.

Cool. So, would you say Tone wise it's on the level of Crank 2, or is it doing it's own thing?

[The Chris]

I'd say it's own thing. Crank's way more extreme in my opinion. It's pretty darn funny though.

My review for Boondock Saints 2 (http://rickshq.blogspot.com/2009/11/review-boondock-saints-ii-all-saints.html)

The brothers MacManus, Connor and Murphy, makes their way back to Boston after setting up camp in Ireland with their dad when they hear an old friend was executed in such a way that it looks like it was them. With the help of their dad and some familiar cops, along with newcomers, Eunice Bloom, Smeckler's protege, and Romeo, a Mexican Bostonian with his ear to the ground, the Saints set out for to clear their name and find justice.

As a fan of the first one, I had very low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised though. I was almost positive it would go in the same direction as most action sequels go; amp up the cheese and over-the-top action and forget about the stories and characters. This is not what happened. Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus slip back into their roles with ease. The two have really great screen chemistry. I could easily buy them as brothers the way they can be joking and having a great time one minute and with the flip a coin be at each others throats. Billy Connelly is possibly in his greatest role as Il Duce. He truly goes above and beyond what the movies deserve being one the coolest badasses in cinema. It was really nice to see the cops have a much bigger role. They offer a lot of laughs especially, Bob Marley (no, not that Bob Marley), whose stand-up is very good as well. Even the bartender with Tourettes and the Irish arms dealer make appearances. The newcomers do not offer much though. Julie Benz's Southern cowgirl, Special Agent Eunice Bloom, lacks serious personality in comparison to Willem Dafoe's very memorable performance from the first one. Romeo, played by Clifton Collins, Jr., offers limited comic relief. Just like Bloom, he lacks the same level of likeability compared with Rocco from the first installment. Fortunately, Roc makes a pretty great cameo with some pretty cool lines. Peter Fonda has also joined the cast as a man with a mysterious connection to the boys' father.

The action is definitely amped up from the original, as is the comedy. This time around though it is much more hit-or-miss than the first. There were a few cringe-worthy lines and a few jokes that just fell flat especially in the beginning that had me worried about the rest of the movie, but it progressed nicely, building enough momentum to easily move on rather than dwell on the low points.

The story is jam-packed with information, some of it just seemed futile. The flashbacks involving the history of Il Duce were very interesting and well-defined, but the linear storyline was bogged down by multiple bad guys. The mobsters were pretty plain, except for Gorgeous George, who was too corny for words. The hitman sent after the Saints suffered from serious height issues, neither funny or intriguing, it felt like a waste of space. Fonda's Roman was a far superior villain than any of them.

The ending is very............interesting. I am not sure where they are going with it, or how possible another installment is, but they certainly set up for more story, more so than the previous installments' "We continue our work" scenario.

SPOILER: A familiar face appears at the end, possibly the best kept cameo ever.

The movie has serious entertainment value. I had a lot of fun watching it, but it is still not a perfect film, far from it really. It has the intensity and charm of the action movies of the '80s, but with the 90s/00s gloss and appearance. I think fans of the original would certainly enjoy it, but those who hate the first will certainly not come around based on this flick.

7/10

The movie is expanding to the following cities: Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fort Worth, Houston, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Oceanside, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington DC.
