Boondock Saints
I searched TFP v.4, but nothing.
I remember someone (or three) recommending this movie. I finally bought it. It is great. So many classic bits and quotes. Anyone remember who recommended this? I need to give them their deserved thanks! Don't be shy. http://www.theboondocksaints.com/ |
It's an ok movie, but very overrated. imho.
|
So it wasn't Pham!
Who was it? |
All I gotta say is the sequel better not suck.
|
over rated? wtf? i thought that movie was fucking awesome!! awesome gun fighting scenes, and funny as hell. a great combo.
|
That movie is great. I have seen it at least 30-40 times.
|
definitely gotta agree with Pham. Way overrated. 2nd-rate Tarantino clone with some religious BS thrown in. It tries to be more than a mindless shoot-em-up, but fails miserably. Like many "cult movies", it does not deserve its reputation.
|
Overrated? no way. Not in my case anyway. Hell, I hadn't even heard of it until I saw it one night while flicking though movies on cable. Too bad that they haven't released it on DVD out here in Australia.
Definitely one of my favourites. |
BEST MOVIE EVER PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!!
This is by far my favorite movie of all time, the action scenes mixed with the dark comedy makes this a most own and a cult classic for sure!!!
You are really missing out on a lot though, if you haven't seen teh unrated/nc-17 version. I belive it is only availble in europe and japan(mayeb china). I know for a fact the one that is published by FOX and realesed here in teh states is very watered down and it detracts from the movie a lot. They edit out the Russian hotel scene, the diner scene whree rocco wastes those three guys, and much more. I recommended you guys try and download that version off E-mail or Kazza or whatever. Also I cant wait for the sequel and yes it better not suck.! |
I enjoyed it, although I didn't feel it was an amazing movie. Slightly overrated, but it is worth watching.
|
That movie is a cult classic. I will rant about it when ever I get a chance.
|
That movie was awesome
|
I have the DVD...Highly excellent movie. Certainly makes you feel better about your own spot in life...and teaches you a valuable lesson about the "rule of thumb" ;)

Also~ I am still looking for the TFP member(s) who first recommended this, so they can take credit for it! Anyone???
|
back in the day, it was Halx who went apeshit (wildly excited) when he bought the DVD... I remember him talking about the special features also... not sure if that was the TFP 3.0 or the TFP 2.0 version.... it's been awhile.
|
I remember recommending it.
|
One of my all-time favorite movies... too bad no one really knows about it... those of you who say it is overrated must not live in the states... Everyone I ask is like "The boondock saints????" ... I originally bought 2 copies for $40 each when that was the only way to get them... have since bought the fox version with a couple deleted scenes... God I hope they eventually release the NC17... ALso, everyone (men and women) I have shown this too and recommended this to has actually really LOVED it...
|
Maveric, I had the DVD before any of these fanboys ever knew about the movie :) And my version of the DVD doesn't HAVE any features because it's an original print, before this whole craze.

Overrated? This film is totally underrated.
Nobody knows about it and it's a great film. The r2 version is basically a vanilla dvd. No special/extra features which is kind of crap but the film makes up for it. |
No shit!? Overrated?!? I think Willem Dafoe is great in that movie. It's always nice to talk about this movie with others on TFP, becuase most of my friends have never even heard of it.
I cna't wait till the second one comes out. |
Fantastic movie.
|
I hereby grant this post to Halx- it must've been Him that originally turned me on to The Boondock Saints!
Thanks, Bro'! What's the word on "the sequel" ? Anyone? |
|
I thought I had seen this but after going to the webpage realized that I have not.
Speaking of Irish killers. Has anyone seen <a href="http://www.thekrays.co.uk/">the Krays</a> based on a true story about a set of Irish twin brothers. The site goes to the actual Krays page and not the movie. Its a great movie though. Gonna chalk Boondock Saints on my to see list (just another fanboy) |
This movie rocked, hands down
|
absolutley awsome movie, loads of catchy little phrases to use with your mates.
"is it dead?" :lol: :lol: |
i remember i used to have one of their quotes as my signature. not saying that that's where you got it from. anyways, i remember a friend of mine told me to download it about 2 years ago. never heard of it before, just gave it a shot. and i loved it. funny, good action, and billy connely! excellent movie!
|
All this hype and praise for this movie makes me want to see it. Other's I work with have seen it and also say it's a great film. None of the video...er DVD....rentals have it around me or it's always "out". <sigh>
|
Its my favorite movie...
When i worked at best buy as a cashier for a little over 6 months, anyone that brought up a tarintino movie or a guy richie movie, i pulled out a copy of it, and started talking to them about it, about 1/4 or so would buy it, one guy liked it so much, he came back the next day and raved up and down about it. All in all, ive yet to find anyone that hasnt like it. IF you havnt seen it GO GET IT. :) |
Yeah, I loved it, a lot better than any of the Tarantino schlock. Who played the bartender with tourette's syndrome? I can't remember where else I've seen him.
|
Boondock Saints rocked. Anyone who doens't think so needs their eyes checked. My friend was telling me about so we rented it. He kept saying there was one scene with a cat that I wouldn't forget. After I saw it, I definately didn't forget it! Awesome flic hands down.
|
I love that movie. Period. I was at my friend's house doing homework on St. Patty's Day, and I suggested watching that movie, a perfect movie for the holiday. Ended up watching half of it before I had to walk home at like 2 am, tipsy from some green beer.
Sure, the movie's got its share of plotholes, some of which are quite blatant, but so what? It's a great movie, and so full of quotable lines. Rocco's joke as Ron Jeremy stands by, the whole cat thing and talking to the ladies in the wake of it, how the brothers have fun with Rocco when he shows up late, the rule of thumb, the porno club, the encounter on the street, and of course, one of the best monologues I've heard in a long time and one that I can't stop uttering, the courtroom speech. I'd put that speech right up with Atticus Finch's and the one from A Few Good Men as far as courtroom speeches go. The way the movie was directed, of showing the aftermath of various incidents and the police & Agent Smeckers' theories of what happened, and then showing what actually happened....that nonlinear format is a very convincing and well-conceived way of telling the story. I don't think it would've worked as well if the story had been straightforward and liner, like Die Hard or something. The Boondock Saints is the kind of movie you need to see at least twice to fully grasp and appreciate, kinda like The Usual Suspects. I love it, and that kickass soundtrack....almost makes me feel like riverdancing... |
Poor cat ...
|
How many lesbians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
2 lesbians. One lesbian to actually screw in the lightbulb, then one wee little lesbian to SUCK MY COCK!
...dies laughing |
Loved it first time I saw it. Pretty cool in a juvenile sort of way, good job by Willem Dafoe, but no 'cult classic' IMO.
|
Will have to give this movie a try . Have not seen it and only 2 mates sing its praises, but sing praise they do.
|
This movie is excellent. Its too bad more people dont know about it. I myself have only known about it for about 2 years.
