Rated R for strong violence, language and sexual content. Did you know Edit. No Catholic churches in the area would allow filming in their sanctuaries due to their objections to the plot of this movie. Goofs Rosengurtle Baumgartner is wrong about what "rule of thumb" means. In reality "rule of thumb" is a medieval term referring to an ordinary, everyday measurement system. The idea that "rule of thumb" condones spousal abuse is believed by many people, but isn't true.
The "wife beater's rule of thumb" was invented in by a humorist, James Gillray, as a metaphor to satirize incompetent legal systems. Many people mistakenly believed and still do that he was referring to an existing law. Crazy credits Clips of people being interviewed about their opinions on "the saints" are shown while the credits roll.
Alternate versions The so-called North American widescreen DVD release is cropped from a full-frame version that has aired on Canadian cable television. User reviews Review. Top review. Great unusual action film. Very intelligent action movie, about two Irish brothers who kill 'sinners' to punish them. The movie is a bit different from the typical action movie, as it doesn't have car-chases or explosions.
The action consists of stylish shooting sprees. It also has a fairly original idea that is utilized in nearly every action scene in the movie, and that should be used more often in action films; first you see the aftermath, the crime-scene, the police investigating, counting bodies, etc. It's a different kind of vigilante movie. It's particularly gory and bloody, but this just makes it all the more realistic.
In real life, there is a significant amount of blood when someone is shot in the head. The movie has some Christian subtexts, I think I've heard about five major theories about the whole movie's meaning. This shows, in my opinion, that there was obviously a lot of thought put into the movie.
I'd recommend it to anyone who can stand the gore, even if they aren't Christians. FAQ 8. The production of the original Boondock Saints is almost as interesting as the movie itself. The documentary Overnight chronicled the development of the film and showed how Duffy's behavior later caused Miramax to drop out, with the movie later being financed by an independent studio for a lower budget.
The movie's stylish action sequences and dark comedy struck a chord with viewers, though it took a while for a sequel to come together. The Boondock Saints II ended with a surprise cameo by Willem Dafoe Aquaman as his character Paul Smecker from the original, which set up a potential sequel where the brothers' murderous activities would be backed by the Church.
Given the enduring cult fandom for the series will The Boondock Saints 3 happen? It initially seemed a third movie wouldn't happen, with co-star Norman Reedus stating in after a meeting with Flanery and Duffy that The Boondock Saints 3 wasn't moving forward.
It's later revealed that Willem Dafoe's Special Agent Smecker, originally thought to have died sometime between the events of the first two films, is secretly in hiding and aiding the Saints with their mission. Boondock Saints 3 will pick up from there. Specific plot details about Boondock Saints 3 remain a mystery, but producer Yvette Yates Redick suggests that even people who've never watched the first two will be "blown away" by the third.
Duffy's last project was in fact The Boondock Saints 2, and production on the sequel has reportedly been troubled over the years. Flanery originally tweeted in that he and Reedus were no longer working on Boondock Saints 3 due to disagreements, but at some point Flanery and Duffy reconnected and began working on a new script.
Duffy stated that the sequel will shift focus away from Boston mafia villains to corrupt politicians. They are at odds. The original Boondock Saints films was a notorious box office failure, partially due to unfortunate timing alongside the Columbine high school shooting, which left 12 students and one teacher dead.
With gun violence newly in Americans' minds, a particularly violent and gunridden film like Boondock Saints failed to gain traction with media executives. Deadline reports that the hope with Boondock Saints 3 is to build a far-reaching cinematic franchise ala John Wick. Shepherds we shall three.
