Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe church where Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy (Norman Reedus) attend Mass, Church of the Covenant, is not a Catholic church, but a Lutheran one. No Catholic churches in the area would allow filming in their sanctuaries due to their objections to the plot of this movie.
- GoofsWhen the bar fight scene begins the brothers are telling the Russians some phrases in Russian, which are translated in subtitles. Actually the words that they are saying not only don't respond to the translation, they are mostly made up and make no sense at all.
- Crazy creditsClips of people being interviewed about their opinions on "the saints" are shown while the credits roll.
- Alternate versionsThe so-called North American widescreen DVD release is cropped from a full-frame version that has aired on Canadian cable television.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)
Featured review
WONDERFULLY PULPY!
A buddy of mine recommended this film to me about 10 years ago. I was hesitant simply because I'd fallen out of love with action films at the time. I can't remember why (probably just burnout) but this film reinvigorated my love for the genre.
It's a shame this one didn't do better at the box office, but I'd like to think the cult status it garnered after its DVD release makes up for it. Unique and amazing cast, wonderfully pulpy story and an overall great action-drama affair.
