Connor and Murphy McManus have been cult heroes for ten years now thanks to the relatively underground success of the film, The Boondock Saints. Critically panned but embraced by audiences, the film had the additional handicap of being directed by Troy Duffy, whose ridiculous antics and overall bad attitude even made him the subject of a documentary detailing how irritating he could truly be. But for whatever reason, the fans held on and were eventually rewarded for their patience with a sequel.
Of course, the reviews for Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day are absolutely abysmal and most likely well deserved. But all the same, it’s likely that the film will either delight die-hard fans or just make them remember what it is they loved about the first one without seeing in the second. And Troy Duffy earns a few dollars more.
Either way, it seems an appropriate time for the folks at NECA to release two new toys based on the film: Connor and Murphy McManus 6-inch figures, part of their Cult Classics line. If you’re a fan, check ‘em out.
