BOONDOCK SAINTS 2 almost a go

By Karl Schneider     June 13, 2006
Source: Variety


BOONDOCK SAINTS
© 2001 Lions Gate Films
The sequel to the cult hit, THE BOONDOCK SAINTS, is set to begin production. The cast is all set to return, excluding Willem Dafoe.

A box office flop and critical bomb, THE BOONDOCK SAINTS was written and directed by Troy Duffy. The film found a cult following once it hit DVD, making millions for Fox.

THE BOONDOCK SAINTS followed two Irish brothers turned vigilantes who wipe out the entire Boston underworld.

Fox will finance the sequel and Troy Duffy will return to direct the next installment.

I dont know why everyone hated the first movie. It is to this day one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen. I am excited to see where this goes.

I've never seen this. I'll have to rent it.

Everyone I know swears by this movie. In fact, it's in my Netflix queue because I wanted to see for myself. I heard about the sequel awhile ago. I'm the only one on my hockey team that hasn't seen it. It better be good vigilante fun, though my buddies may have hyped it up too much, which was exactly the reason I couldn't enjoy Pulp Fiction

It's not surprising that no one heard of this, it was an indie film that had only a limited release at the box office. (like barely 10 days) it made more money overseas. It cost about $7 million to make, so it need to make up over $6 million in DVD sales to just cover production costs not-to-mention other costs. Ahhh the era of the DVD is resurrecting so many projects from the depths of development hell.

Its one of the best films ever made. Seriously! I know that sounds seriously "fanboy" but this movie is incredible. Even all of hollywood loves it. You can ask any movie producer or director and many of them will say its in their top 10 of great films. More people need to buy this movie. Though im scared for the sequel. The beauty of the first one is that its on such a small scale that its really powerful. But now with the sequel, and only one way it can go (I wont ruin the end for you), you have to question if it will go overboard.

Boondock Saints is one of those movies you run across and decide to rent because Wilem Dafoe or someone else you like is in it... you are not expecting much, so when its good, you really enjoy it. I loved it, and I agree with maineyac that its a "guilty pleasure" because its not exactly Shakespeare. Still its a fun movie, and I would recommend it to anyone... anyone except cat-lovers!!! I'm always hungry for a good sequel, but this one sounds like its already in trouble.

Am I the only one who'se PUMPED for this? I was a HUGE fan of the original (it's in my Top Ten of greatest films ever) so I've been waiting for years over "All Saints Day (BDS2)." It was supposed to be RELEASED in 2002 so I've been waiting for 4 years for this...BRING IT ON!

key word here "...almost" LOL! gotta love the not so subtle humor that Cinescape puts in to their columns... HAHAHA! Boondock Saints is well, its different thats for sure... not sure where the "cult" status actually came from or why, but its definitly got a following and it isnt created by hype from Troy Duffy, its just a wildly popular flick that bombed in its initial outting. BS2 out in 2002? 2003? 2004? 2005? 2006? 2007? HA! not likely. Keep holding your breath... We have a better chance of seeing Buckaroo Banzai vs the World Crime League someday...LOL!!!
