I posted this a couple months ago, and someone else did before me.  I don't know, I will at least rent it to see how it is.

if they actually make it, which i doubt because they have been planning on making it for years now, it's going to be terrible. they couldn't get Willem Dafoe to come back and he's only in good movies. i love boondock saints and if they come out with a sequel i'll definitely see it even though i already know i will most likely be disappointed because the original was so good there is no way they can top it or even come close to it

Could be entertaining i guess, but not as good as the first. I what made the first one good was that they didnt know what they were doin, thats why it was so funny, just dirty and raw. This one looks like there fucking super spies or something gay like that

Nah, I'm not like some people who yell: "SEARCH BAR YOU FUCK!!!"  I just thought I should say that it has been talked about at sometime.  I won't karma rape someone unless they are a fucking idiot.

They're just setting themselves up for failure, because there's no way they can top the first one.

Naysayers, all of you.  Why not hold out hope that it might actually be good?  I doubt it will be better, but I'm sure it will still be a sick movie.  Came out yesterday, limited release in select theaters.  Unfortunately, none of them were anywhere near me...

i'd like to see it, but i rarely see any movie in theaters. they are brave for trying a sequel because the first one was so good.

i only saw the very end of boondock saints and let's just say I was slightly confused. They killed people in court just to get them off the streets or never able to get free again? I just saw the court seen where he was shouting some weird shit and then they all killed him.

I mean, there are some HORRID movies that I personally like. Like the Blade series, the Underworld movies, the Xmen movies, The Punisher and a couple others that RT always says are shitty as diarrhea, so, my opinion on how good they are could be a bit off.

The BLADE series will always be amazing, anyone who thinks otherwise is retarded.


To whoever said that Boondock Saints is a rip-off of Tarantino movies. You can go die, Quentin Tarantino is a shitty director and a crappy person in general. Grindhouse was RETARDED.

it will only be as good as the first if it has some random bloody, murderous explosion of some cute fluffy cat or something.

Outside of "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" I can't stand his movies. Like Kill Bill, those movies I fucking hate. It could be because I am Japanese and see all the flaws in how they use the swords. I don't know, I guess I am just weird then.

Troy Duffy is a huge douche, it's a damn miracle he was even able to direct a film. 

It's a Stage 6 film, they make crappy sequals under Sony.  So my guess is that it's an hour and a half of pointless violence with a half ass story.

Man, I realize this. I still can't stand the way the swords are used. Just like "The Last Samurai"... watched the special features and I wanted to kill the costume/set designers

"We feel we did a great job with the architecture of the buildings and the costumes. We feel they are very traditional Japanese."

The only traditional Japanese part of the costumes were the Katanas and the Bows. The armor the samurai wore was NOT made out of steel plates, they had helmets with horn like things but not antler looking horns. And the buildings with all the columns make it look like China. I know, I am incredibly biased because I am half-Japanese but still, it is incredibly annoying.

Well, I watch movies for their meanings and entertainment. If you watch 'em for the theatrics and historical correctness thats cool :)

No, I watch them for entertainment too. Its just there are a couple things that really stand out is all. The biggest one in Kill Bill is all the blocking. You block with the side of the katana the damn blade will bend, I have seen it happen.

Yeah but look at all kung fu movies involving swords. They do the same thing, only they're asian.

Oh they're totally weird. I mean people float in them after all. I like them for their characters and story not the theatrics.
