Fans of Willem Defoe should definitely see
this.
*This recommendation comes from my own personal DVD collection, not from Derek Smart who recommended this title in an Ocean’s 11 thread back in January.
**Actually, don’t rent…go buy it for $9.99 instead.
Ugh, vigalente claptrap. There’s a self-funded sequel in production.
I was really liking it until the end when I began to realize that the filmmaker appeared to be making a pro-vigilante point movie, rather than just a stylistic killfest.
Also, the “twist” was really stupid.
Shouldn’t this be in the “Overrated movies” thread?
I agree with these, and as such am not super-excited, but there is a trailer for the sequel, finally.
Wow. Seriously?
I thought this was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
Willem Dafoe was ridiculous. The scene where he was dancing/shooting/screaming while opera played in the background was cringe-worthy to the extreme.
Best movie ever!
I thought this was a thread about how “Boondock Saints” were “going rent” or making themselves into a Gay musical where everyone is sad they are poor because they don’t have jobs and everyone gets aids.
I agree!
Wow, I can’t believe it … The sequel …
Also, I was completely expecting those heels to belong to Agent Smecker.
That’s probably the twist.
No Dafoe in the trailer is a big let down and it doesn’t look like he’s in the film. :(
I didn’t watch the trailer before posting it. It looks pretty bad… I didn’t even get all the way through it.
It sure did seem to lean that way, but I think that’d be a tad too goofy.
Though, it would be kinda’ funny, socialogically-wise, that he might add a girl to the Boy’s Club only to end up being a cheat.
Troy Duffy said that Julie Benz is the female lead and protégé of FBI Special Agent Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe’s character from the first film), named Eunice.
There’s certainly room there for an identity change.
Y’all Must Must Must Must Must Must Must rent Overnight
Troy Duffy was so goddam certain that he was the next Tarantino he hired a crew to film him filming (and doing the soundtrack to) Boondock Saints.
Holy shit. Its the Most gruesome, slow-motion wreck you cannot look away from, ever.
Please for the love of all things holy Rent Overnight.
Is Duffy directing BS2?
Feh, I’ll give it a shot. I never saw the trailer for the original, but I imagine it would play similarly poorly compared to the movie.
He is. Seems like he’s busted his balls to make it happen, too.
I’ve yet to see Overnight. Been meaning to … But I’d read up on some of that horror. Pretty bad seeing how someone can toss such an incredible, longshot opportunity.
It really must be seen to be believed.
One of those “if this was fiction nobody would believe it” documentaries.
I had to rewatch the scene I mentioned to see if it was truly as I remembered.

It’s worse.
Holy crap, Willem Defoe sucks in this movie.
I’d like to hear a review of each scene sequentially, KWhit. Preferably in audio form - maybe with sound effects.
