The Boondock Saints	comment	The Boondock Saints is a 1999 independent action thriller film written and directed by Troy Duffy about two Irish Catholic brothers from South Boston, Connor and Murphy McManus (played by Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus), who become vigilantes on a "Mission from God" after they are almost killed by Russian mobsters following a barroom brawl on St. Patrick's Day.The brothers kill the mobsters and then turn themselves in to the police, though they are quickly released on their self-defense plea. They learn the location of the syndicate's leaders, then kill them all. They are quickly joined by their best friend David Della Rocco (played by an actor who shares the name), a package boy for the local Italian mafia, who enlists their help in taking down his former syndicate after he is sold out by his bosses Pappa Joe and Vincenzo.FBI Special Agent Paul Smecker (played by Willem Dafoe) is on the case of the vigilantes, and as the bad guy body count continues to rise and the brothers become local heroes, Smecker has to decide whether he wants to catch the killers or join them.Everything comes to a head when the Italians, tired of being picked off like flies, call in the mysterious hitman Il Duce (played by Billy Connolly in one of his rare dramatic roles) to kill Rocco, who they believe is responsible for the killings. When the three Saints and the Duke collide, all hell quickly breaks loose; and when it is finally learned just who Il Duce is, the stage is set for a final reckoning that will bring the South Boston mob to its knees.The Boondock Saints ran for all of a week in only a few theaters because no major distributor would touch the film after Duffy's falling out with his initial executive producer Harvey Weinstein. (The then-recent crackdown on violent action and horror movies and media in general following the school shooting at Columbine earlier that year didn't help things either.) However, when it was released several years later on FOX DVD, the movie became a massive cult success. Fans compare the film to Quentin Tarantino's classics Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and Robert Rodriguez's Desperado. A sequel called The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day was rumored for years (especially because the first film ends on one hell of a cliffhanger) and was finally released on October 30, 2009.The film is especially popular for St. Paddy's Day drinking games, where if you sip every time someone curses, you're hammered by 30 minutes in. Because of this, some people have never seen the whole movie, nor seen it sober.The 2003 documentary Overnight details the rise and fall of Duffy's reputation through the process of making the film, attributing the trajectory in no small part to the considerable overinflation of ego he suffered from. While he has tried to apologize for his past behavior, watching the doc may give you a better idea of why we had to wait ten years for the sequel. A third film was finally confirmed in Spring 2024 to be in works, but, perhaps not surprisingly, without Troy Duffy's involvement.Has a Character Sheet that is in desperate need of more love.Not to be confused with The Boondocks.

The Boondock Saints / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: When he decides to kill Rocco, Pappa Yakaveta dramatically snaps his revolver cylinder shut by flipping his wrist. With swing-out cylinder revolvers, doing this can bend the cylinder arm, misaligning the cylinder, and leading to a misfire, potentially blowing the gun apart. The particular one he's using is known for its Swiss watch-like fitting, making it even more of a bad idea than usual to do this trick.

The Boondock Saints / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: While gearing up, the brothers mock each other for getting some rope and a large bowie knife, just in case. Both items end up getting used during the hotel scene, the knife while they are carrying out the execution of the Sick Mob Man and killing one of Yakavetta's men after they get free. The rope even makes a reappearance in the second movie. In the first movie, Rocco returns in a panic after the Lakeview Restaurant shooting, telling the brothers to "Pack your shit!" so that the three of them could flee. One of the items Rocco packs (after brandishing it at Connor while shouting) is the iron that they later use to cauterize their wounds. When Rocco asks the brothers to teach him the prayer that they always use when executing mob dudes, Connor refuses, stating that it's a family prayer, "my father's father before him, so that's our shit". This sets up the biggest reveal of the movie, where Il Duce walks in on the brothers saying the family prayer over the fallen Rocco and finishes the prayer himself.

Subverted in the first film â€” the McManus brothers say something to the Russian mobster before starting a bar fight in what is supposed to be Russian. What they really say, however, is utter gibberish, which could be why Chekhov gives them a perplexed "Huh?" If you're curious, the last line of the prayer is Latin for "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit", with the gunshot substituting the traditional last word of "Amen." Meanwhile, "Vaffanculo", the last words of both Giuseppe Yakavetta in the first film and his son Concessio in the second, translates to English more or less as a very derogatory "get fucked."

Once he's there, they even put him inside a metal cage to protect the parole board. All this serves to establish him as probably the biggest badass of the movie.

However, the forklift driver isn't knocked out by the Tap on the Head, ending up injured, pissed off, and explaining to the guys that they could've just held him with their guns. Also, Romeo has no idea how to drive a forklift and the crate the brothers are in is cramped. And then, physics reels its ugly head when Romeo stops the forklift, causing the crate to slide off the forklift's forks.

The Boondock Saints / int_35b241c0	comment	Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: The brothers, often. Justified by their Omniglot status; the brothers learned their languages well enough that their accents have been rendered about as battered as Connor MacLeod's. By the second movie, it seems their accents are almost intentionally bad. Julie Benz' accent is also overdone for comic effect. Carlo Rota (Papa Joe) in the first film keeps slipping back into his native English accent every other syllable.

The Boondock Saints / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: At the beginning of the film, the monsignor mentions Kitty Genovese during his homily on Bystander Syndrome. However, while the Genovese case (and the New York Times' report on it) did become the Trope Codifier of Bystander Syndrome, in actual fact it was anything but. note For a start, Genovese was initially attacked at approximately 3:15am, meaning nearly all the potential witnesses were sound asleep. Her lungs were also punctured in the initial attack, meaning she couldn't call for help very loudly. One person did in fact call out and drive off her attacker, and two people called the police. However, Genovese then wandered into a alley leading to a locked door to the building, which is where her returning attacker found, raped, and murdered her. The layout of the building, and the two separate attacks, meant that no one witnessed the entire series of events. Only two witnesses (one for each attack) were even aware that Genovese had been stabbed.(The majority of the dozen witnesses thought the disturbance was a drunken fight or domestic quarrel) One 70 year old woman even ventured out and cradled Genovese as she died. However, while a rival crime reporter found large holes in the story even at the time, the NY Times' reputation prevented anyone making a serious counter-example until a study in 2007; the NY Times themselves didn't acknowledge the inaccuracies until 2016.

Then, after Smecker's done with their interview, Smecker asks if they know any other languages apart from Russian, since part of their story included taunting a Mafiya thug in his native tongue. They proceed to show off by speaking French, Italian, German, and Spanish in front of Smecker, by having a quick conversation wondering how he figured out most of their story without having to talk to them. To Smecker's credit, he seems to pick up on the conversation by the time it finishes up. In the second film, this gets subverted: Romeo asks his uncle in Spanish not to embarrass him in front of the McManus brothers. He doesn't realize they know Spanish too.

When the man wants to cuddle, he sneers, "Cuddle, what a fag", making it seem like he's a Straight Gay, but throughout the film he makes a number of campy flourishes. He occasionally lisps and minces for humor's sake, and at one point sits on a pink divan while petting a pink feather boa. In the end, he seems rather comfortable dressing in drag for a disguise. "Schmecker" or "Smecker" are American Yiddish euphemisms for "schmuck", which means "penis", and is often used as an insult.

Not to mention they seem to have no qualms about stealing from the mobsters they kill even before they receive their Mission from God. Also, Connor somehow seems to know what heroin tastes like, to which Murphy responds, "How the fuck would you know?" in the sequel. Lampshaded by Rocco:

In practice, Romeo doesn't have a gun so the brothers give him a pocket pistol which fails to knock out the forklift operator. After scaring off the operator the brothers hide in the crate, but start bickering. This, combined with Romeo's reckless driving, causes the crate to clumsily fall off the forklift and smash on the floor right in front of the criminals.

The Roman as well only gets a proper name during the last third of the second film. The only aversion to the survival rate was the "Sick Fuck!" He is credited as "Sick Mob Man".

The Boondock Saints / int_eb8f64a6	comment	No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Downplayed, by the end of the film after the brothers and their dad kill the Big Bad, the public view on the brothers is mixed because, despite cleaning up the streets, some just see them as psychopaths, probably for actions such as killing a mob boss in a public courtroom.

The Boondock Saints / int_f360fc33	comment	Dumbass Has a Point: Greenly. He manages to correctly state the motive behind the McManus brothers' murders ("They were all bad guys. Now, they're dead bad guys.") as well as the number of hitmen sent after them ("What if it was one guy with six guns?"), only to have his conclusions immediately shot down by Smecker.

The Boondock Saints / int_ffbf846d	type	Suspiciously Specific Sermon
The Boondock Saints / int_ffbf846d	comment	Suspiciously Specific Sermon: A monsignor delivers a sermon referencing the Kitty Genovese case, saying "now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." The brothers McManus, after leaving the church, comment that "the Monsigneour's finally getting the point". This combines with the fact that the visiting priest is about to object to their coming up past the pulpit to kiss the feet of the crucified Jesus until another priest whispers something to him, at which point the visiting priest's face becomes an expression of shock and awe. It also combines with the fact that no one else in the congregation seems to object to the boys' behavior. All of these elements give the impression that this scene actually takes place after the boys' transformation into the Saints and implies that the sermon is intended to be a veiled approval by the speaking priest of the Saints' agenda.
