Well folks, it looks like
Boondock Saints 2, (or "
Twondock Saints," as it is called by no one), is
seriously on the road to production. The idea has been brought up before, (2002, 2006), but writer/director Troy Duffy seems to think it's for real this time. For those not in the know,
Boondock Saints snuck out about nine years ago to a depressing box office but developed a
huge cult following on DVD. The story, about a pair of Irish brothers, (white kind of brother), taking the law into their own hands and ridding the streets of injustice, apparently struck a chord with the movie-watching public.
Not many people know this, but before I was a Cracked Blogger, I was a machete-wielding street vigilante in Rhode Island. True story. Gladstone and I both, actually, spent three years (on and off) cleaning up the wicked streets of "the Ocean State." If it hadn't been for my street-vigilante-based ties with Gladstone, in fact, I probably never would have even gotten this job here at Cracked.
We'd go around with our weapons, Gladstone with his mace and me with my machete. The press nicknamed us "M&M," which, admittedly, was slightly more clever than what I wanted to call us, . We made a few headlines and took down some of Rhode Island's most notorious drug lords and mobsters. Ever hear of the Chechnyan Mafia in Providence? Of course you haven't. Mace and I took care of them years ago.
You're welcome.
Anyway, due to my propensity for taking various things into my own hands, (the law, for one. Machetes for another),
