I’m part Irish but today I’m all Irish! Happy Saint Patrick’s Day everyone!
You guys gotta watch Smokin Aces... damn
You two need to watch The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. Note quite as good as the first one, but still good IMO.
Greetings from Donegal, Ireland. Thanks guys, love your channel. Those """"Irish"""" accents in the film, lol.
Great reaction choice for today!
Yep he's their dad.
On point again with another great movie selection.
Happy St. Patrick's day.
Blown away with Jeff Bridges would've been another good choice.
24:20 Fun fact: Dressing up as prostitute actually saved his life! It was stated before in the scene where he got out of prison, that II Duce (guy with six guns) never killed women or children. So Willem Dafoe's character just got knocked out and didn't get killed in that scene, because from behind he look like a woman.
Huh. Never thought about that. As a movie watcher I only relied on the "Good knows good when they see one.", but that bit makes sense. :D
@@drix4275 "only one rule no woman no kids..." czcams.com/video/6M0Uy_Du8DA/video.html
Wow, I never picked up on that
Shiat I missed that, but yeah.
Yup I noticed that too first time I saw this back in 04.
"Is it dead" is one of my favorite movie lines ever.
Definitely hilarious!
@@TBRSchmitt I got 2 movie requests for you guys to do. 1 is A league of their own with tom hanks and 2 Dumb and dumber with jim carrey. Definitely worth reacting to.
I'm a huge fan of "what if it was one guy with six guns?"
@@scottpartner8001 man, those are on the opposite end of the spectrum of comedy. I suggest League of Their Own for Tom Hanks but wow, tough choice.
I still laugh every time at that scene.
The guy who knew the family prayer is the father. The father reference is so quick you can blink and miss it
That's why the Connoly distinctive face was hidden with the glasses. To me at least.
At the strip club, one of the brothers said it was a family prayer, only passed down from family members. This tells us that the man who finished the prayer was their father... one hell of a fucking twist.
@@Peter24601 if listen carefully, it's Connoly's voice they hear in their dream early on.
@@zvimur I'm well aware of that dumbass, that's also Connolly's voice at the beginning in Church, and speaking when the boys were putting pennies in the eyes after coming through the ceiling. He was that voice through out the whole damn film.
There’s a deleted scene really worth watching. It’s a phone call between the brothers and their mother in Ireland. Sheds a little more light on their backstory and family.
And of course there’s the sequel.
One of my favorite aspects of this movie is the progressive integration of Smecker into the crime scenes. In the first one, it's completely retroactive, progresses to the point where he's acting as a composer, and finally he's an active participant. Great storytelling.
My two favorite escalations. 1. Reavers in Firefly/Serenity. You think its bad, until the next time and you get more. 2. Smecker's involvement in the Saints' investigations. Exactly, ILDomer17, closer and closer until he's THERE.
I thinks it's a great way to show him more and more identifying with the brothers as the movie goes on. He is imagining himself right along side them. He goes from wanting to bring them in to hoping they dont stop.
"I can't believe that just fuckin' happened!"
"...is it dead?"
Such a shocking scene! And the ‘is it dead’ is pure comedy lol
Later you can see they taped some newspaper over the stain on the wall, hehe.
Probably is the best line.
Fun fact for you, the father is played by Billy Connolly, a Scottish comedian. He is regarded in the UK as the funniest man on the planet!
It’s easy to miss, but the huge stain on the wall left over from the cat? Later on they have the cat’s picture taped over it to help hide it. Love details like that in this movie 😂
I'll add my comment here that they mentioned how the knife and rope both became essential ,and they commented on Rocko taking it, but I think missed the usefulness of the Iron he grabbed on the way out of the apartment.
Which they used in the scene after the shootout to cauterize their wounds.
@@mokane86 no moment is wasted in this movie 😆 love it
@@mokane86 THANK YOU
Every time I hear “THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!” I have to follow it with the drums from “Love lost in a hail of gunfire”
A man of culture as well.
Fuck, did the same thing xD
Such an underrated masterpiece. I’m surprised more people haven’t seen this classic.
It became a cult classic. It just wasnt recognized as one when it came out.
This movie is further proof that, whether it's short or long, Norman Reedus NEVER combs his hair! ;-)
Hahahaha true that 😅😂
I see you like Jinjer
he made up for it with the skill he used putting that T on in the cell. i was like : 😲....tf was that? magic?
never seen that technique before 🤣
Always loved the scene with Willem Dafoe when he yells There was a firefight, his hands in the air is a recreation of his scene in Platoon when he as Elias gets shot by the vietcong when he tries to run back to the helicopter...its an iconic scene in movie history and the score is haunting.
Underappreciated!
"Abandon all hope..." etc. is from Dante's Divine Comedy. It's carved on the gates of hell.

"What do we need a rope for?"
That was absolutely hilarious in hindsight.
On St. Paddy's day everyone is a little Irish, except the Scots, we're always Scottish!
That's like saying "everyone is black during black history month"
@@MigPlz91LivestreamOnly Um, no...Black History Month is an observation of the many contributions of African-Americans to the overall society and culture of the United States.
St. Patrick's day is a religious observation citing the time(from a mythological standpoint)Patrick drove the snakes of Ireland into the sea.
A metaphor for the domination of Christianity over the native Pagan beliefs.
St. Paddy's day in the US is complete bollocks, hell more than half the people out drinking and acting like idiots don't even know why they're acting a fool, and most are not Irish at all.
Stateside here. Apologies that most of us over here don't properly celebrate and honor Saint Patrick's day. Dad was Scotch German. Mom was mostly irish with a bit of German. Wishing you and yours well until St. Patricks day 2022.
"There was a fire fight!"
Haha such an iconic scene in this movie!
@@TBRSchmitt Agreed. I actually made the comment before I even watched yalls reaction!
That line and the imagry of Dafoe on his knees with his arms in the air was a spoof on his role in the movie Platoon.
The bar owner is the guy from Fraggle Rock. He was the human that had that work shop/garage with the hole the fraggles would come out of.
Holy shit, thank you! He looked familiar and I spent all these years not knowing.
Jesus fucking Christ. Thank you for that, how the fuck did I never see it?
@@daisho13 because his acting was so good that you couldn't recognize him
@@xenokratesoskuraz887 indeed. Bloody legend! 🙂
@@tenchraven this is now true in my imagination lol!
Was not expecting Billy Connolly to be an assassin...loved that though!!!😁
Their Veritas and Aequitas tattoos are pretty iconic. Truth and Justice respectively. The sequel (All Saints Day) is not as good, but the cast returns with some fun new faces, so it's worth a watch.
The movie was pretty freakin' meh, but there are still a few really amazing shootout sequences. You really can't go wrong with a good boondocks saints shooting.
According to the director, the third movie has been on the way for the past 7-8 years, but that's (obviously) been a load.
IIRC Reedus mentioned that he doesn't want to work with Duffy anymore. It was sort of implied that Duffy was an asshole.
@@qrowing to be fair, the first sequel did take like 10 years to come out lol
Rocos picture in the mosilium is one of the few scenes i remember its his mugshot and they just start riping on him
Agreed. My problem was there wasn't enough Connor and Murphy in it for me.
@not tellin Not better. Not by a long shot. But the movie has it's moments like:"Daddy's working"
In the beginning you already said Willem Dafoe is the perfect crazy guy and i agree, but immediately i thought of Gary Oldman in Léon: The Professional (1994), in this movie he perfectly portrays a really crazy cop! 😱🥶👌🏼
So i really hope you two haven't seen it yet, because this great classic is a must see! 🥰🤞🏻✌🏼
Yeah, that's a good one. I think True Romance (another great Gary Oldman performance) might be right up their alley too.
Same. Oldman instantly came to mind as an equal at least.
Alan Rickman as the sheriff of nottingham would come to mind for another great example for a well played insane cop(well.. sheriff).
Talking about Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves
☝🏼 my thought exactly, as well.
William Dafoe has certainly played some strange off the wall characters.
You should check out his performance in To Live and Die in LA.
When he is flipping out at the big shootout crime scene I can't help but hear a little more Green Goblin than I would prefer 😆😂
Willem.....
@@mikeworkman3593 Best of all, it was all practical effects. No CGI.
Just to set up, and film that car chase displays great stuntwork talent. Something that's missing in today's Hollywood.
One of my favorite movies with Willem Dafoe. Also a great performance by Willaim Peterson from CSI
Such a treat watching a new audience trip out on how uniquely wild this film is. Hahaha it just keeps ramping up. I'm so glad you guys love it.
This is one of the greatest masterpieces of all time! No question. The scene with Rocco and the cat gets me every time 😆 I totally lose my shit 😂😂
The extended scene with Rosengurtle Baumgartener and the deleted scene with their mother are hilarious 😆
2008 I worked millionaires row at Churchill downs and a server came into my side stand and just said her name. I busted out laughing. I was the only one who got the joke.
Willem Dafoe doesn’t really play crazy roles, but he does an excellent job at eccentric characters; for crazy characters, can’t beat Jack Nicholson
Agreed. Also...slow night Lloyd?
This was an instant like for me. Boondock Saints is awesome!!!
Hardly anyone has heard of this, it seems. One of my favourite films. Definitely in my top 100
1999 was the most insane year for movie releases ever. Beginning to End non stop bangers.
Absolutely one of my favourite movies of all-time and you guys are the first folks I've seen react to it.
Awesome job...Subscribed! 😉
Yes 'Il Duce' is their father. There is a scene where they call him 'Da'--the old Irish for Father. Another great vid from you both. God bless you both. ( :E
I need to dig my unrated copy out and watch it again.
Always worth another watch! Especially today!
Back when they still weren’t holding back in movies. A very compelling movie. I was so pleasantly surprised when I saw this in the theater back in 99.
One of my all time fave films so under rated, those that have seen it have all said it's a good film it's just the amount of people that have seen it is tiny
I agree with your sentiment but I can thankfully say that the "amount of people who have seen it is tiny" remark is luckily untrue. WAAAY back when I worked at Blockbuster Video (when that was a thing lol) this film became quite literally the companies most rented cult film smash hit for YEARS (partially due to some corporate licensing shenanigans) Also, us employees talked it it A LOT...because it's great lol. So yeah, still a cult hit, and not a majority blockbuster film, but it's still a MASSIVE cult hit.
One of my all time favorite movies...sure it's not just me but I learned that courtroom speech when the brothers are stating their demands, lol....
"And shepherds we shall be. For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from thy hand that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri, Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.”
🔫🔫
😎🍀😎📿
“Is it dead?” My favorite line from this movie
The scene with the cat is just one of the off the wall comedic timing things I've ever seen
“URGHH THERE WAS A FIRE FIGHT!!” 😖
Makes me want to listen to Bleeding Through
“WhAt If It WaS oNe GuY wItH sIx GuNs?”
Ammonia.......
The rope is an example of Chekov's "whatever". If it is shown, it is only normal that it will be used later. Checkov's cat and Iron too :)
Hey! Boris!
When there buddy asked the brothers to teach him the prayer the say before they sacrificed the main guys he was told it's a family prayer. Our fathers, fathers kind of thing. So the point when the old man heard the beginning of the prayer he realized they where his boys he hadn't seen nearly all there lives as he was locked up. But hearing the prayer he knew who they where. And when he finished it. They realized who he was. That's why they had that touching scene where he was touching both there faces. Plus at the end, if you noticed one twin says Da how far are we going to take this, and he talks about having the depth of faith to take it as far as needed. So definitely there father.
Thank you so much for posting this! This is one of my absolute favorite movies so many amazing scenes like the toilet scene, and the scene with Billy Conley where he explains that the question is not a far but can you go as far as needed.
This is one of my favourite movies of all time.
I only wish I was born when it came out it would have been fun to see in theatres.
Boondock Saints. Must watch movie in your lifetime. No matter how short.
I was always curious how this was received outside of Boston. Here, everyone and their mother has seen it and generally love it. Happy St Paddys day from Boston!
Hahaha that’s awesome! Happy St Paddy’s day!
From the UK and over here it's got an indie cult status
It was an absolute flop. Only earned $30,000 (Though a limited release) and was hated by critics. Later it was rediscovered on DVD release. It became a hit then because almost everyone who watched it wanted others to see it too.
@@christopherconard2831 Yep. I saw about half of it in my late teens around 2-3am on network TV. It was just a pure luck thing where I was up channel surfing. I proceeded to tell anybody and everybody I know that they needed to watch it.
What a great day to celebrate St Patrick's Day with a weird and wild movie!
Happy St Patrick’s Day!
Rocko packs the iron...they then use same iron to cauterise their wounds...subtle continuity.
Been looking all day for somebody to do this keep up the great work.
If they ever die release a 4 hour cut of this movie on one of those double sided dvds, the end of the first half should just be fade to black with the words: catch you on the flip side 😂
Can’t believe that’s Billy Connelly being bad ass
This move is pure movie magic, a masterpiece!!!
The way Rocco shoots the guy in the side of the head through his jacket is so fckng badass.
'THERE WAS A FIRE FIGHT!!' And you two didnt even chuckle? How? That part had me literally rolling on the floor I was laughing so hard.
"no way. NO WAY!" I shouted the same thing with the same excitement when i saw that moment and this movie 20 years ago, lol.
Loved this movie ever since I saw it as a teen great memories its not great but it's alot of fun with some badass and memorable scenes
About time this masterpiece got some love. One of the few films i call perfect.
sorry quick msg. i loved when you said 'to watch something with you and through your eyes' to your wife. iv always said i the best thing ever is to show someone you love, something you love. its the closest we can ever come to experiencing that thing again, is by watching someone close to us experience it for the first time. great reaction (even though im late to the party) but keep doing what ur doing.
The street interviews at the end are so great 😂
this is one of my all time favorite movies. I bought the VHS used from Blockbuster for $4.99 (I only bought, I never rented from there because I like to watch movies multiple times) when I was 27 - I since re-bought it on dvd and special edition dvd and blu ray. the scene with the iron when they hug each other while scorching their wounds is my favorite and reminds me of me and my brothers and close friends. I wish we could have seen more films by Troy Duffy, who like Sylvester Stallone with Rocky wrote the script but would not sell it unless someone hired him for it. He was a bartender and wrote the script as a vehicle for his band to do the soundtrack but he burned his bridges with Hollywood and the Weinsteins blacklisted him. Nice how karma came back and reversed that!!!
This is one of my favorite movies! My whole friend group was obsessed with it in high school lol
"And shepards we shall be
For thee my Lord, for Thee
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
So that 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 Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti."
pew pew....
And the chaotic action-packed hilarity continues with THE BOONDOCK SAINTS II: ALL SAINTS DAY (2009). And yes, IL DUCE is their father as the prayer was proof of his identity and foreshadowed earlier. Check out this DaFOE classic...STREETS of FIRE (1984).
Il Duce, the old 6-gun guy, is actually their father. They say earlier that only their family knows/uses that prayer.
30:00 Minute Mark. When Rocco said he would shoot himself in the head if she was able to remember the cat's name, he was bluffing, lol... He had already shot all six bullets at the cafe.
It's only a bluff if he remembers it's empty. Remember, he's kind of an idiot.
U need to watch part 2!!! U both will love it!!!!
I really hope you guys watch the sequel soon; I think it's the rare sequel that actually fits well with the first
My favorite movie of all time. Thank you for this
THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!
You should check out “Powder” with Sean Patrick Flannery. And Suicide Kings. Definitely Suicide Kings!!!
Never heard of those! Thanks for the suggestions!
@@TBRSchmitt any time 👍
Suicide Kings is definitely in the vein of Boondock Saints. "Leonard" from Big Bang Theory lol 😆
Tough Luck with Norman Reedus is a decent b list movie. Interesting to watch at least.
I really like Suicide Kings.
Yes! Such a great movie!
Yeah definitely a cult classic!
William Defoe sitting up & motorboating was the scariest part of this whole movie, the cat getting shot comes in at #2. They both gave me the hebe jebeies. I seen it on my first deployment to Iraq in 2007-08. I thought it was 1 of the best films I seen that deployment, I watched it several times. I bought the combo pack & their are a few deleted scenes, 1 with their mom made me laugh; Played by Ann Ramsey.
Can't remember if you said in another video that you guys had The Crow with Brandon Lee on your list. That film is another indie cult classic
That film is one great line after another. And Brandon Lee is perfect in that movie, perfect.
Conveniently, I watched this movie very recently so great to see a reaction on it. That scene with that cat reminded me a lot of the scene in Pulp Fiction with Marvin, lol
lots of very great comments below so I apologize if this was already said, I didnt read all of them below but: The prayer is finished by the "mystery assassin" because as they mentioned before, its a family prayer. That assassin is their Dad. I learned later his name is Noah McManus. I think that was probably already cleared up hahah - but thanks again for your videos!
@TBRSchmitt I noticed it was kind of vaguely mentioned in another comment but did you guys put together when they were praying and the old man came from behind and started repeating the same prayer that’s because it’s a prayer he taught them as kids, he is their father!!!
Now Boondocks Saints2 All saint's day
You have to remember when Rocko asks to learn the prayer. And the brothers say we can't. "It was our father's prayer . Taught to him by his father." So the only person who could know the prayer was their father.
At 11:45 you see how Rocko kind of flew back? That wasn't apart of the script, the air cannon that shot the blood and stuff on the walls was so intense it blew him off of his seat. The actor was nervous being that close to the cannon but the Director (who was a friend) told him he would be fine then laughed at him after
This movie is an entire memorable scene
This movie is perfection. It's one of my favorites.
Fun Fact: My husband and I have sat at that table in the diner where Rocco kills everyone. It's in Toronto.
I need to go there
@@xenokratesoskuraz887 They've filmed a lot of movies there... Cocktail (with Tom Cruise) is another
Awe yeah. Excellent movie choice for St Patty day. Once again you guys knock it out of the park. Thanks for your energy, emotion and intellect as you went through this movie. Keep it up.
Love both of the boondocks saints films
Norman Reedus is amazing
There’s a documentary about this film and the writer/director Troy Duffy. It’s called “Overnight” (2003).
Evidently, Billy Connolly (El Duche) kept cracking up the crew between takes.
il ducé (means the duke in Latin)
*in nomine patris es filii et spiritus sancti
*also:
in nomine patris et filii, spiritus sancti
translation: in the Name of the Father l, the Son, & the Holy Spirit
This was an instant cilt movie. I remember the talks of a sequel for years. And finally it happened.
They're supposed to be doing a third. It was about to go into production, then Covid hit.
There are so many great lines in this but I always loved the rope argument
For others. Norman Readus isn't the guy from Walking Dead. He's the guy from Boondock Saints.
These two remind me of my last girlfriend and me showing her a lot of my favorite movies (I was a lot older and she hadn't seen anything made before 1980) So I would show her "To kill a mocking bird" etc. And we would discuss the movies at the end. Same thing with some of my favorite books. One of the things that cemented her as an awesome girlfriend was she loved Full metal Jacket ,Apocalypse Now , Blade Runner and all my other favorite movies and books...I sure miss her but ,I knew when we first started seeing each other the age difference would start to weigh heavy. Still 10 years with a girl 23 years my junior meant we had to get along pretty well.
You are great, just heard the first sentences, and you say St. Patricks Day. That just made me a smile, because of loving this film and willem Dafoe.
Now time for Saints II, Rocco's speech is so good.
The hit man is their father, they call him dad in one scene and also said that their prayer was a family only prayer.
omg the two boondock saints movie are 2 of my favourite movies ever
This is easily in my top favorite 10 movies ever.
For a giant laugh, try to get ahold of the deleted scenes on this one. Well worth it.
The mom is amazing!
@@krxahfb You read perfectly between my lines!
Who was born first?
@@gregblau8082 lol
I can't believe this movie is 23 years old. Where in the Hell did the time go?
"All Saints Day" was pretty good too.
Awful living quarters ? That is a sweet loft apartment , with an amazing minimalist aesthetic.
Rocco was played by David Della Rocco. The part was written for him and is actually based on how he really is.
one of the most underrated movies ever!
That movie looked amazing, nice work ill have to look it up!
Awesome!! Thank you!!! 😃
This came up in my feed shortly after Conor McGregor breaks his leg. Feeling the Irish vibes.
OMG! One of my fave movies.
