I enjoyed the first "Boondock Saints", but objectively speaking, it's still a rip-off of "Pulp Fiction" and a whole bunch of other movies.

For me, most of its appeal comes not from the film itself, but from how you watch it and who you watch it with. Some of my best memories from college, freshman year, were watching this film with my roommates when we were all drunk and eating pizza or take-out Chinese (kind of the way that the Saints were in the movie, before they shot the cat). Somehow, the "Boondock Saints" manages to be the perfect film for those kinds of occasions.

The movie still seems original to me. I say that these "rip-offs" are actually homages to them. Anyway, what university did you go to? I'm planning to go to Norte Damne since my Aunt and Uncle (who are authors) live there.

Just wondering, where did some of these screencaps come from? Some weren't in trailers.

BTW, how did they get a j-22 to cycle blanks? They don't even digest real ammo.
