    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Sir Billy Connolly was so stoked to be playing against type in the role of Il Duce, and having so much fun playing a psycho with guns strapped all over him, that they had to add the large cigar the character incessantly smokes because unless they stuck something in his mouth, he simply couldn't stop smiling.
    • Goofs
      When the bar fight scene begins the brothers are telling the Russians some phrases in Russian, which are translated in subtitles. Actually the words that they are saying not only don't respond to the translation, they are mostly made up and make no sense at all.
    • Quotes

      Murphy: And Shepherds we shall be For Thee my Lord, for Thee Power hath descended forth from Thy hand Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patri, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

    • Crazy credits
      Clips of people being interviewed about their opinions on "the saints" are shown while the credits roll.
    • Alternate versions
      The so-called North American widescreen DVD release is cropped from a full-frame version that has aired on Canadian cable television.
    • Connections
      Edited into The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)

    Solid and great action movie

    Cool action scenes, good pacing and much funny entrateinment. A dark comedy in Irish world Willem dafoe does a good job on the acting and it has a decent soundtrack. I don't see why critics hate this movie.
