The First Five Minutes of The Boondock Saints II: All Saint’s Day

Posted on Monday, October 26th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

boondock_saints_2_trailer

Apparition has released the opening sequence, the first five minutes, of The Boondock Saints II: All Saint’s Day on IGN. The sequence basically explains why the Saints must return from hiding. What else? A montage set to “badass music” featuring the Saints cutting off their hair/beards and taking showers (yes, I’m serious), an obvious black and white flashback to the original film (couldn’t they have re-filmed the scene from a security camera angle for the news cast instead?), and the introduction of Julie Benz (who many of you will know from Dexter) as Special Agent Eunice Bloom. Watch the 5 minute and 21 second opening sequence embedded after the jump, and leave your thoughts in the comments below.

here we go...

Sorry but that looks incredibly lame. Not to mention horrible acting too.

ME

Absolutely Horrible! The acting is like one of those 80's Chuck Norris movie.

You know, I didn't mind the first installment. I thought it was a quality low budget, eye-candy, badass action flick. This honestly looks like it's out to please strictly the moron fanboys/girls of the series: Everyone in between the ages of 18-26 from Boston, and all of Long Island (which is really just Jersey's dead fetus attached to it's forehead) who legitimately enjoy lifting, tanning, rocking hard-as-rock spiked hair tips, and guzzling bud light. As is with the newer 'Star Wars' flicks (Trust me, it still hurts.), never give the fanboys what they think would be "F*CKING AWESOME!".

Name

Don't ever group the people of Boston with those of Long Island again.

two_bit

Touché.

Rick_Dickulous

I could excuse a lot of stuff in the first one due to the budgetary restraints/first time director, but this just looks like amateur DTV garbage.

Pass.

Drew Hall

I just learned it comes out Friday in select cities and its like east coast and LA, highly disappointing. I want to see it no matter how bad it could be. It's the dang Boondock Saints with Judd Nelson in it!

mchops

shit is decent.

Shane

Haha, this looks fucking terrible.

devcross

Is there such a thing as a whitesploitation film genre?

taylordubose

i guess there is...

this is shit

NEONBEAR

that was so... so bad.

Fir3Wolf

The dialogue between those three guys was pretty bad, but I liked the original knowing it by no means is a good movie. Still I had fun watching it and will see this one as well. Just probably not in theaters.

greggorybasore

Looks awesome... and it gives me a spot to take a piss if I have to.

PK

I found the first film had a great thing going, but it was burdened by a small budget, and halting dialogue. Perhaps if it had been done differently it would have turned out a little better.
This one looks like it's trying for the big budget eye candy, but it's still stuck with weak dialogue. A little lame, sorry.

jtkelly86

Is it just me or do their shades look like they were photoshopped in that image?

jasonb26

im hoping duffy realized that what was cool/edgy in the 90's isn't the same now. if this universe of his truly lives and breathes, then it needed to evolve.

sgtzim

You mean guys in long black trench coats wearing sunglasses with guns blazing in both hands in slo-mo to pseudo cool music went out of fashion?!?! It's like he hasn't seen any movies after The Matrix came out....

mudywaters

this looks fucking terrible.

AfroVince

What's with that music?

Gomer

Looks like he still has the directing skills of a bartender from Boston.

And that song is ridiculously lame. I felt inclined to drink PBR and watch VHS highlights of the Patriots 2001 superbowl in my parents basement while wearing a sleeveless Nickelback t-shirt.

Blake Brown

man, this is a dvd rental if i've ever seen one

Hemiln

Hahaha Billy Conolly trying to do an Irish accent is a sight to behold, in the Sean Connery tradition.

And as for the acting from those Cops. They make Police Academy look like Michael Mann.

skatalite

Man, that editing was awful.

Norbert Korzus

Is it only me or does it look much worse than the 1st part? I had mixed feelings about the orginal but I enjoyed it (though it's not a good movie by any means) while here it looks like Troy thinks a better movie is to add some magical "badass powder" and people will see him as "the new hollywood hardon". Looks like a cheap direct to dvd movie.

LOUISXXX

Wow I hated the first one. And that stupid director.

Lx

thebergmaniac

I threw up a little in my mouth.

Scott

Looks like utter crap..sadly...tryo duffy is just taking other action movie idaes...what made the first one fun to watch for me the the idea to mix operetic music with gun fights....its gonna suck sadly.

Both these films were shot in Toronto. I went to a Q&A with Troy Duffy and the Brothers last week where he explained that everyone thinks this movie had some kind of huge budget.

In reality it was made for $2million more than the original, but the dollar was worth significantly less this time around, so the two movies virtually cost the same to make.

I was highly skeptical about the film, but listening to him talk about it, he changed my mind. Apparently there's some sort of huge twist and Rocco is in the movie. There's also a flashback to the 50's to show how Il Duce got into the business, it's gonna be rad.

Moe Speeks

I am a HUGE Boondock Saints fan,,, but I have to say that the first 5 minutes of this film looks like shit.
Leave it to Troy Duffy to fuck everything up,,, as usual

michaeldance

I'm so glad to see that pretty much everybody on here thinks that looks terrible. Whenever I talk about the series to anybody I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. So many people loved the first one.

namez

The two leads had no charisma in the first movie and seem to still lack "it" in the little time they're in this 5 min. opening. Willem Dafoe basically carried the first movie.

If you remember -- the editing in the first movie was as awkward as this too. The music choice is cheesy, in a bad "Ghost Rider" way. Cleaning up isn't even cool enough for that type of music. Maybe a "heroic-build-up" type of tune would of worked better. Keep it classy until they actually do something worthy of "bad-ass" music.

The acting, the dialogue, and the staging of the actors felt very amateur. Including the cliche', overdone shot showing only the woman's feet when she exits the car. So...

I'm not seeing it.

Brandon Varnell

Who cares if the acting isn't good have you people not seen the first? its just a mindless action film, there is a reason its a cult hit.

its like saying evil dead or dawn of the dead suck because its got shit acting and a mediocre plot.. learn how to enjoy a movie

matthewwells

However, many would agree those films have held up a lot better as cult hits than Boondock Saints. With it's wannabe Tarantino-profanity, it's local-metal-band-music-video cinematography, heavy-handed hackneyed message about the virtue of killing, and it's Dreamcast-racing-game techno soundtrack - it wreaks of the 90s.

Evil Dead has tree-rape. That'll charm the pants off people for decades.

Drew Hall

come on now, Bruce Campbell is a grade A actor.. :)

matthewwells

The fan allegiance to this film series and the baited breath for its long-awaited sequel is the film equivalent to the fan allegiance and baited breath for the new Limp Bizkit album.

Drew Hall

yup, and I am excited for both.

Jason

Man, I really hope you're joking.

Oleg_ver1

Looks awesome!!! have to see it!!

Thumb_at_FistOfBlog

I'm pretty sure they put the swear words in the movie so nobody would think they were watching bad TV.

awesome24

The movies actually good, stop talking shit about it from your computer. for all those saying it looks like bad acting, id LOOOOOVE to see you try and do better. in otherwise, go fuck yourselves

suckit.

This movie was badass and you people need to learn how to just enjoy a movie. I mean seriously its better than most of the shitty movies that come out now-a-days. so suck it. All saints day is amazing.

James

You guys all suck major ass . . . the first film was awesomely enjoyable and can be watched over and over when you're in the need for some mindless "gratuitous violence". I don't care if this isn't as good, it's an attempt at bringing back what could have been legendary if it wasn't for the damned Columbine incident.
Screw yourselves all you people who look too deeply into the entertainment industry; make a film yourself and see if yours ever, EVER makes it even to dvd release, let alone a friggin' film festival.

Doug

Anyone know the name of the song at the end of this clip when Eunice Bloom gets out of the cop car?
