    Norman Reedus was actually about to quit acting before he got the role of Daryl on The Walking Dead. Yes that was Ron Jeremy! You are like the only reactor that has caught on to that fact! I've been waiting and its like ok guys.

    This is one of my favorite movies. I have the brothers' cross they wear in the movie, I wear it constantly. I subscribed immediately because you're one of the only channels that had done this movie!

    8:57 *"Why does that look like Ron Jeremy?"* 'Cause it's Ron Jeremy. 26:30 *"That accent is over the top."* That there is Billy Connolly, a legendary Scottish comedian. That's just how he talks.

    Still a top 5 all time favorite! U HAVE to go on here or anywhere, to find out how this got made! Only one famous actor, Willem Dafoe. Shot on a shoestring budget, sometimes on credit card money!!. Outrageous violence and funny! Part 2 is ok, not as good. They're still thinking on the final part! Willem plays maybe the most interesting character ever...an almost overtly over the top gay guy, who hates gay guys! One guy is a long time porn star and so is the girl! The Italian boss, played in some other interesting movies. I think the old bar guy really did have a speech impediment, and I think the nuns, really were nuns! The Funny Man, played an absolute fantastic believable character! None of the Catholic churches in the city agreed to filming, because they strongly objected to the movie, it's shot in a Lutheran church! Ewan McGregor was originally offered one of the brothers roles. But went out and partied with writer producer director, troy Duffy. They got into a huge argument about the death penalty ( kinda like the end credits) Troy thought, he's too much of a pussy for this role, and cut him. I bet u Ewan regrets that- missing out on playing an all time beloved movie and character! I have movie posters of them in my house, praying, with guns in hand, reciting the prayer! Yes, he's their dad!

    I love this movie, but I do agree with you that it’s pretty bare bones. I don’t think Norman Reeds is the best actor, but I do think he gets the job done. There is definitely a lot of yelling in the movie and I think that’s a fair critique. This is a cult classic. Willem Dafoe really makes this movie and is so intelligent and also the comic relief. You’re right that Rocco is an idiot, but he’s there idiot and they know it, lol. I do like that you address what most people won’t, they’re fanatical and crazy. As displayed at the end of the movie, people have a lot of different feelings about them, and it’s definitely a mixed opinion. Great reaction, and I quite like the movie, but I also like your honest reaction and not just going along with what others think about something.

    Also one of my favorite movies. But YOU are one the ONLY honest reactors! You didn't just say, "OMG, this was so awesome!" I heard the accents are really bad. Again, honest reaction but still one of my favs but I'm not Irish!

    Man, you are on the ball! This video is five months old and you saw my comment. I see you only have 276 subs, I would keep it real, don't be fake and give everything a "WHOA THIS WAS SUCH AN AWESOME MOVIE!" review. I'll watch more of your reactions if you have more!

    I have a total of 20 videos as of now. I have a fulltime job so its a bit difficult to edit videos and publish them on time. Thank you for your kind comments. I do tend to be a bit on the critical side if i don't like something that people like and they get mad but they don't understand that movies are subjective. Anyway, Cheers.

    Norman Reedus is a perfectly Ok actor, THAT tne the only statement you made I genuinely disagree with....HOWEVER, as far as other points you made 1. Billy Connelly's voice being "over the top" 🤷🏻‍♀️ IS WHAT IT US - as THAT is his honest-to-God actual voice/accent. 2. yeah, the " Saints' " (the bros') accents are bad --- but still don't care. I, myself, (fully knowing they were 'bad' accents) enjoy them, regardless! idk, maybe that's just me but 🤷🏻‍♀️ and 3. I'm sure this film, comparatively, is seen initially as a 'bad' movie, but IMO, its borderline campy, meaning - it's exactly the tbings most would deem "bad" that i like the most...."so bad, it's good" is how I'd categorize it myself

    U should listen to all documentaries on this! Except for DaFoe, the producer director cinematographer actors, etc., We're all new or first timers! They actually used credit card money, to finance the film! Became a huge hot! Part 2 was ok, tho not as good. Part 3 is due any time now! DaFoe plays a gay guy who hates effiminate gay guys, is a riot!

    The sequel is good too, Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day. Not as good, but still good. They are working on the third one now.
