Boondock Saints

[Timmy C]

Anyone know where I might find an uncut, English 5.1, anamorphic version of this film for sale? I've heard the German version is a good bet but I can't find anywhere to buy it from! If anyone knows of another version that I may be able to find fairly easily then please let me know. Not interested in the UK release though!

Cheers

You'll want the NC-17 version. You can get it off the official site - www.theboondocksaints.com , but with shipping costs, it ends up being quite pricey.

I'm checking some UK sites to see if they have it but no luck yet.

Here's a pic of the cover of the NC-17 version: http://www.film.bajo.pl/recenzje/The Boondock Saints.jpg

The info there is wrong, they seem to have got the R1 USA and R2 UK releases mixed up.

I own both, and the UK one featurs heavy cuts - lots of blood edited out in various scenes. Most notably in the Rocco/Lakeview scene, and the Hotel/Brothers/Rope scene.

The US NC-17 version isn't cut at all.

I sure hope they aren't wrong on any other titles yikesss

Would anyone care to enlighten me regarding this film? I've never heard of it before.

What's NC-17? Is that some kind of US clasification? I managed to get a US version from a guy trading on Amazon but it's rated R. It has the same cover as the one in the link but no mention of NC-17 anywhere!

In answer to your question Figgy D, the film is about 2 brothers who decide to rid their town of the lowlife scum after a run in with the Russian maffia. It's very violent but also funny and well worth seeing. I'd never heard of it either until last week when a mate came back from Germany raving about it. One of the best films I've seen in ages!

Just seen this on Amazon.ca and works out at about £7.00. Does say Rated R in the comments but is the same picture posted prev.

And in the links it is the only US version Shown.

If its rated R then ur getting the censored version.
