Posted on: September 2nd, 2009 [TRAILER] Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day
If you’ve seen the film Overnight, the documentary on Boondock Saints writer-director Troy Duffy, the thought of any studio letting this buffoon at another crack at a movie is pretty ridiculous. But in Hollywood money talks and all those who bought a copy of Boondock Saints on DVD (me included) put forth in motion the sequel.
Below is the first trailer for Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, a film that has been talked about since the release of the first one, which has now a huge cult film, and an unfortunate measuring stick for a great action movie. I’m not saying the first film is terrible, I enjoy it on a superfluous level, but let’s be serious – it’s highly “top 5″ material here. The dialogue is wince-inducing at times, the performances beg for more, and Duffy’s direction is as articulate as his interpersonal skills.
Boondock Saints II brings back actors Norman Reedus, Shaun Patrick Flannery, Billy Connolly, David Della Rocco and Bob Marley, while newcomers Clifton Collins Jr., Judd Nelson, Peter Fonda and Julie Benz join roster. The film takes place years after the first film and finds the McManus brothers brought back to Boston in the wake of a murdered priest.
The film is set for release on October 30th, on a hunch I’d say direct-to-DVD. I strongly encourage you to check out the documentary Overnight, it’s a fantastic peek into the utterly laughable life of Troy Duffy. I promise you won’t watch Boondock Saints the same again.

September 2nd, 2009 at 6:55 pmI’m pumped. It was decent action with eccentric techniques and dailogue which led me to appreciate the first movie so much.
Anytime I want to watch a ‘guy movie’ but I dont want the generic die hard stuff, I usually reach for Boondock Saints.
Not that it is the only film which can do this, 300, V for Vendetta and Sin City can fill the same purpose.
