    • Trivia
      The church where Connor (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy (Norman Reedus) attend Mass, Church of the Covenant, is not a Catholic church, but a Lutheran one. No Catholic churches in the area would allow filming in their sanctuaries due to their objections to the plot of this movie.
    • Goofs
      When the bar fight scene begins the brothers are telling the Russians some phrases in Russian, which are translated in subtitles. Actually the words that they are saying not only don't respond to the translation, they are mostly made up and make no sense at all.
    • Quotes

      Murphy: And Shepherds we shall be For Thee my Lord, for Thee Power hath descended forth from Thy hand Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patri, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

    • Crazy credits
      Clips of people being interviewed about their opinions on "the saints" are shown while the credits roll.
    • Alternate versions
      The so-called North American widescreen DVD release is cropped from a full-frame version that has aired on Canadian cable television.
    • Connections
      Edited into The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)
    • Soundtracks
      Stained Glass
      Composed by James Kenelm Clarke (as James Clarke}

    Overall a Good Movie
    Not knowing anything about this movie before watching it, I found myself caught up In the story and characters.

    If you like gunfights, good guys vs bad guys this is the movie for you. If you're looking for something to watch, I recommend Boodock Saints. It's well worth the watch.
