“We are totally f*cked! Not just f*cked, like elephant d*ck, pound in the ass, no reach-around, jungle f*cked!” Det. Greenly, Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (Troy Duffy – quote text per IMDB)

“Profanity, Profanity. Boondock Saints is just littered with profanity. How could such religious folks use such unholy language? It’s crude, sacrilegious, and unwholesome. Nobody talks like that!” - random compilations of print-medium movie critic

Yep, once in awhile a cuss word is strategically utilized in the Boondock Saints movies.

Do movie critics like this type of language? Nope
Would movie critics suggest using this much profanity? Nope
Did some of them cover their ears? Probably, if someone was looking

Then Why Would Boondock Saints Have This Much F*ckin’ Profanity?

Shut the f*ck up already. I’ll f*ckin’ tell ya:

It’s called “the demographics of their target market.” Like 2.0 and actual business marketing, Troy Duffy knew his target market – younger crowd, college frat boys, blue collar workers – and the women who love these men. Do they cuss? Most do. F*ck yeah we do. We’ve even been known to make up dirty limericks and get into swearing contests just to see how many different phrases and insults we can come up with utilizing swear words. H*ll-f*ckin’-yeah we do. We’ll even do this sober.

And when movies do the same, we find humor in that.

There is an art to swearing. Not that it’s recommended for everyone, but it’s d*mned-f*ckin’-fun for those sloppy-f*cks who like to f*ck around with phrasings.

And because this culture likes their turn-of-swears with unabashed explosions and gratuitous violence, Troy Duffy can make Boondock Saints.

C-Ho Mesothelioma Rating: 3 out of 10.

Anybody who doesn’t understand why profanity wouldn’t be an intergral part of this film should go back to watching primetime sitcoms on the big 3 networks.

F*ckups.
