There's supposed to be a sequel sometime this year to the very underappreciated visceral cinema experience known as Boondocks Saints. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Don't get me wrong, I loved the first Boondock Saints, but does it need to be repeated/extended? I mean, how many times can those guys be vigilantes and keep it interesting? Well, I guess they kept the pace and interest going through all of the first one, but I just don't know if the film needs a sequel. I suppose I should just wait, though, cuz I'll probably end up loving the film and have to act like I never questioned the validity of a sequel. I am anticipating it, and will definitely see it in theatres. Why the hell am I bitching about something as awesome as Boondock Saints being continued? Perhaps I just fear that if the sequel doesn't hold up to the first film, if it's a complete disgrace to the Boondock Saints name, then it will taint the first film. Anyone know when it's supposed to be released?

I won't deny that the film is, more than anything, an excercise in style, but damn, it was a good work out for me.

I thought Boondock Saints was a self-important Tarantino wanna-be. It lacked all of the wit but none of the conviction of the recent crop of indie films (American Splendor, Ghost World, May). For you thinkheads out there in droves...I'm not trying to compare Boondock Saints with American Splendor or Ghost World or May on a plot, style, or genre basis. What I'm saying is that the wit and originality that those films had was such that the makers of Boondock Saints could not provide in their moistest of dreams.
TarTar, to answer your question, "does it need to be repeated/extended?" No, it doesn't. It barely needed the first try.

I'm a bit disappointed to not see Willem Dafoe's name on the project (now entitled Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day). I guess that doesn't mean he's not going to be in it. I hope he is. Unless of course the story just doesn't need him. It's good to see Clifton Collins, Jr. is going to be in it. He's played a number of roles that I thought showed great promise for larger roles. I believe he's the grandson of Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez.

Willem Dafoe IS always good, but I loved the brothers in the first movie. I assume that it'll be a good sequel, because its not like they were under pressure to cash in on a sequel since the first one didn't make much money. |

I remember I liked the first one , but i forget how it ended. Willem Defoe is always great, IMO.

I'm one of the few people who absolutely hated the first movie. Everything about about it was bad: the plot, actors, dialouge, twists. Its such a stinker in my book that I am totally shocked and awed by the love the movie gets. Fans have tried to explain it to me, and I hae rewatched it, but still, I think its trash.
