It took director Troy Duffy ten years to make a sequel to his cult hit The Boondock Saints , which hardly saw a theatrical release in 1999 but made over $50 million in video sales and rentals. The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is only the director’s second film; the direct result of the explosive backlash …
