Boondock Saints

Has anyone else seen this movie? Even though its a lower-budget movie, I still think its one of the best movies created.

There was a thread about this not too long ago. Decent movie: some parts were enjoyable, some were plain silly, but it doesn't ever come close to the genius of Ritchie or Tarrentino that it was trying so hard to imitate.

Boondock Saints is a pretty well known movie, I guess people call it one of those "cult" hits whatever that means

The yare making a second one

I thought The Boondock Saints was an awesome movie, and pretty damn funny too.

Is it dead??

Tarentino, yes. Ritchie? I doubt it. Ritchie's first publicly released film, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels came out in 1998. As far as I know, Boondock Saints saw a limited release in 1997, then a video re-release in 1999. For some reason it's incorrectly billed as a '99 film on IMDB. But for all intents and purposes, it would be impossible for a film made prior to Guy Ritchie's work to be 'imitating' him.

not if you traveled back in time w/ stolen uranium from the gun toting terrorists that drive a vw van.

LOL, Thanks Findar! That made me laugh my ass off!

Great movie. Lock stock owned as well. Boondock 2 is due out soon for those that didn't know.

I looked it up; Millie, you're right about the dates. I was thinking more of that whole genre of movies rather than specific names though. Can't really get away from Tarrentino -- he was the one who started it all.

On a sidenote, did anyone actually watch Swept Away? That looked like such a trainweck... Madonna should stop trying so hard to spoil Ritchie's career.
