When the Russian mafia threatens their Irish neighborhood, Conner and Murphy McManus begin taking out the vengeance of God on local gangsters, criminal, and lowlifes in South Boston. As locals dub them "The Saints", it is up to one unorthodox FBI to catch them... or will he?

IL Duce's Prayer 

"When I whet my flashing sword and my hand takes hold in judgment, I shall take vengeance upon mine enemies and I will repay those who hate me O Lord, raise me to Thy right hand And count me amoung Thy saints ."

"Whosoever shed man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God, made He man. Destroy all that which is evil. So that which is good may flourish. And I shall count thee among my favoured sheep. And you shall have the protection of all the angels in heaven."

"Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeaful striking hammer of god. "

Saints Trivia 

  • Director Cameo: [Troy Duffy] The bar patron in the overalls in the scene where the McManus brothers get into the bar fight with the Russians. In fact, his whole band (The Boondock Saints, formerly The Brood) have cameos in that scene, including Troy's brother, Taylor Duffy.
  • Il Duce uses six different guns in his shootout with the brothers. The first two are a Beretta 92S (as opposed to the 92F) in 9mm and an 80 series Springfield 1911 in .45 ACP. The revolvers are Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum snub nose 2 inch revolvers. One has nickel plating, a titanium cylinder and cherry grips. The other is stainless steel with Hoague rubberized grips. The last two are a Colt 70 series commander with a blued finish and a stainless Smith & Wesson model 645. They're both chambered in .45 and have black grips.
  • The church where Connor and Murphy attend Mass, Church of the Covenant, is not a Catholic church, but a Protestant one. No Catholic churches in the area would allow filming in their sanctuaries due to their objection to the plot of the film.
  • In the final scene at the courthouse, when Connor and Murphy begin saying, "Now you will receive us..." is actually a SWAT motto, with only "you will see my team" changed to "you will see we three".
  • The aria played during Smecker's investigation of the two Russians is from Puccini's opera "La Boheme". The title of the aria is "Si, mi chiamano Mimi."

Get yer stupid rope! 

or, you could settle for any of these Saints inspired ideas.
