Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day Trailer

Second Verse, Same As The First

By Brian Prisco | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (28)

Troy Duffy does it again, again. If you were a fan of the first film, congratulations, you’re probably going to like this one. There’s no reason you shouldn’t. Look at the trailer. It’s EXACTLY the same movie. All he did was swap out dead or missing characters with newer versions of the dead or missing characters. Funny Man Rocco is now Clifton Collins, Jr. Paul Smecker is now Julie Benz. It’s kind of like watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight movie version of Boondock Saints. People in bad costumes doing broad imitations of extremely broad characters to begin with.

Bad guys are still bad, they still wear PEACOATS (mea culpa, mea culpa) and sunglasses, cranking away with twin silencer pistols. I can’t tell if Duffy just doesn’t have the imagination or if he’s just cashing in an old-ass chip. And speaking of old ass, time is not on their side. When Sean Patrick Flannery winces, he looks like the back of Clint Eastwood’s hand.

So congrats, fans of Boondock Saints. Duffy didn’t bother breaking the mold to make his sequel. He photocopied his first script and scribbled on it with a crayon. Enjoy. I’ll be behind you, kicking your seat and making bitchy comments to my girlfriend.

Holy botoxed Sean Patrick Flannery faces Batman! While I did enjoy the first one...this make me sad in the pants.

I didn't even know it was possible for a director to rape himself. Is that the new thing? Some bizarre form of self-sodomy? How would he even spit on it?

It's ok Troy. We all know the reason. Boondock Saitns was your feast. And you gorged yourself, over and over and over with each iteration of the same DVD. Then...it all went away. Then you were just some ragged has-been hanging out in front of Filene's on their discount wedding dress day, beard down to your chest (That's some good beard!), mismatched shoes wrapped in duct tape, stomach swollen and distended. And then it came to you!!!! People would pay to watch you masturbate over your former glory!

Cha-fucking-ching!!!

I had high hopes for this movie...five years ago.

I might watch it for Darla. But probably not. I never got around to watching the new Rambo. No, I'll probably just google Ms. Benz and hit the ol' bunk.

When I saw the first one I wanted a sequel and, for my sins, they gave me one.

This doesn't look as bad as I heard it would; I'm C/O.

Anyone besides me think that sometimes, it's okay to go with "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?

i took silly pleasure from the first film, but this truly looks like the same bloody thing. sigh, i had been looking forward to this, but no more. the boys aren't even that hot anymore. double sigh.

I liked the first one, though I've had about enough of stupid fan boys and girls deciding that quoting Boondock Saints equals a comprehensive celebration of Irish culture in America, but that's another story for another day. (As someone raised in an Irish family, I also hate St. Patrick's Day. And if you have a problem with that, you'd better know something about Irish culture besides Londonderry Aire, or I'll beat the shite out of you while singing "The Rocky Road to Dublin" so loudly that no one will hear your screams.)

I think I may start one for heat Pattykj. I have a feeling it will be a bad winter.

I did like the first one (and still do I think - I haven't watched it in a while) but even I think this looks redonkulous. Sean Patrick Flannery's face is as bloated and malformed as those floating dead people they're always fishing out of the river on the Law & Orders. And seriously, Judd Nelson?? Pass.

it looks almost as bad as the first one. korny. cliche. dream like potatoes.

that song is just terrible. it's like someone trying to impersonate bad punk music and then deciding instead to throw up, record it, and then repeat the track over and over again.

While I will surely see it for the cheesetastic fun, it just isn't the same without Willem Dafoe's package bulging through a pair of panty-hose.

Holy Crap, Sean, what did you do to your FACE???

Posted by: Kate the Great at September 3, 2009 1:19 PM

Rowen, I have a problem with that. And here's what I know about Irish culture: booze, booze and more booze. That good enough for ya or are we gonna have to fight it out? I'm game either way, as long as we go drinking afterwards.

He used to be so cute...oh, wow...uhm, so why was this necessary again?

Posted by: Joker at September 3, 2009 1:45 PM

Tell ya what. I'll introduce you to another aspect of Irish culture. The shillelagh. Preferably to your face. Afterwards, we'll go have some whiskey to ease the pain and I'll teach ya some of the GOOD Irish songs and lore.

Yeah, they've aged. S'okay. If you've got giant eye bags, the way Norman does, it just gives you another place to pack a Glock.

I am going to have to agree with all of the others who are saying, "Sean Patrick Flannery...what the holy god fuck have you done to your face? You don't even look like the same guy. At first I thought you weren't even the same guy. Are you ok? Did you need reconstructive surgery or something? Tell me you didn't want to hide the fact that you are...gasp...aging!"

Ok....I was planning on just writing "bunk" about 8 billion times in this comment right after I saw the trailer. Instead, I can't even write bunk. I'm a huge fucking fan of the first one but as soon as I saw...saw...I saw...I saw his face. Oh dear god. I think I'm going to puke.

-vomits...and manages to sound like a bear-

Hey, at least you got it right this time Prisco.
They were fucking PEACOATS.
Let that be a lesson to you.

Seany, it didn't work for Mark Hamill, it ain't gonna work for you.

Posted by: Sarz at September 3, 2009 9:20 PM

waw, it's sad, Duffy even copied the gimmick where the investigator - formerly Defoe and now Benz - is in the reenactment of the crime scene. Looks like Gus Van Sant's psycho, only worse.

Where did the post on the first movie go? I know I saw it here yesterday in underapreciated gems or something? I come back tonight to read it and can't find it.

Posted by: EricD at September 4, 2009 4:37 AM

no, I am pretty sure it was in Pajiba Blockbusters. or maybe i am just going fucking insane.

Posted by: EricD at September 4, 2009 4:46 AM

umm.. never mind. it popped back up again.

Posted by: EricD at September 4, 2009 3:42 PM

JUST WATCHED BOONDOCK 2. Without a DOUBT..the worst movie I have EVER seen in my life.
What the FUCK happened to Sean Patrick Flannerys face?
All cops and mobsters,including Judd Nelson were just awful.
Embarassing resume entry for Julie Benz,who looked great by the way,and Clifton Collins just ask for an apology from the entire group that greenlit this piece of crap.
Luckily,the amazing Billy Connolly wasn't in it very much to ruin HIS reputation.

wow, way to make fun of a cancer patient guys, spf was in a car accident. i hope you are in one as well. so we can make fun of you if your face becomes somewhat de-formed

Posted by: cookieking at October 22, 2009 1:27 PM

Flanery has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a black belt in Karate, so his face may have been messed up from sparring at the time the film was being shot.

I dunno...whatever it is, hope gets that figured out. Can't be good for the acting career...

Norman Reedus is the one who was in a car accident. I haven't seen anything about Sean being one too. http://blastmagazine.com/the-magazine/entertainment/movies/2009/10/boondock-saints-ii-norman-reedus/

Posted by: Joe at October 22, 2009 3:21 PM

Sean's face is a product of Botox and Fillers! He was not in the car accident. It's just plain vanity. Ugly, eeeeww. Normn's Irish accent is a joke. This movie looks awful. Cheesy. eewww

"You know that guy, too? See, all these movies take place in a small town called Shermer, in Illinois, where all the honies are top-shelf, but all the dudes are whiny pussies - except for Judd Nelson, he was fuckin' harsh!"
