Synopsis:

My Boondock Saints II (no need for the "All Saints Day") differs from the source in the way that it strengthens the overall narrative by tightening up the dialogue, cinematography, and performances while removing the music from the directors band and replacing it with music both more fitting as well as more aesthetically pleasing.


Intentions:

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day just didn't feel like any of the original creative team returned from the first one even though it had the same writer/director as well as much of the same cast. It was tonally off, filled with hammy dialogue and poor cinematography. Performers were directed to be incredibly over the top vs acting naturally. I made this edit in order to make this sequel feel like it belongs within the continuity of the original as well as to just plainly make it a more enjoyable experience.


Change List:

1. Opening scene with Rocco from the original movie is cut. 2. Custom opening created using scenes from the first movie for a short recap (scored with "Saints From the Street" from The Boondock Saints soundtrack). 3. Opening monologue by Noah cut. Footage muted and all sound fx recreated. 4. Montage of the brothers prepping to return to America rescored with "Prodigal Son" from My Bloody Valentine 3D soundtrack. Scenes also Trimmed. 5. Cartoonish performances with Duffy, Dolly, and Greenly trimmed while they are arguing in the church. 6. Music for Special Agent Bloom's arrival rescored with "Thought Contagion" by Muse. 7. Dialogue between Bloom and detectives trimmed. 8. Fight between Romeo and the russian trimmed to cut dialogue. 9. Dialogue between Bloom and the detective at the church crime scene trimmed. 10. Significantly cut dialogue at Concezio Yakavetta's house to make the character appear more intimidating. His inability to pronounce words correctly is eliminated and his prison rape allusions are removed. 11. Cut the homophobic slur Conor makes when referring to blonde hair. 12. Trimmed dialogue between the brothers and Romeo when discussing their plans for when they reach America. 13.Trimmed dialogue with the detectives at the station. 14.

Bloom helping the brothers restage the bodies in the mexican restaurant rescored with "Time is Running Out" by Muse. 21. Minor trimming to the scene where the brothers and Romeo get their new weapons. 22. Complete deletion of all lines from the "Agent Cuntzler" character as his whole character existed for a dumb joke. He is now just a background extra. 23. Penthouse shootout recut and rescored with "Shrinking Universe" by Muse. 24. Cut scene of Bloom helping Romeo come up with his new catchphrase since this wasn't physically possible. 25. Cut entire black and white dream scene with Rocco from the first movie. 26.
