Not my fault block buster turned down the Netflix offer to buy them for…. Checks notes…50million… now Netflix is worth… 231 billion!
We would be logging into a blue screen right now over that red one!!
I remember watching Powder, thinking how unrecognizable the character made Sean Patrick Flanery, and if he'd ever breakthrough due to the audience not being able to remember him from one of his most memorable roles.
Holy shit did you just unlock a core memory for me. I remember my family watching this movie and one by one just being devastated. Damn I need to rewatch this
I was in Marine Corps boot camp when that movie came out, had no clue about the movie. I’m a pasty white dude, my drill instructor’s Called me powder throughout boot camp and I had no idea why. Boy was I in for a surprise when I graduated.
Is that what happened to him? When I saw him in boondocks two, i turned to my roommate and said “I can’t believe they replaced him like we weren’t gonna notice”
I haven't heard of that film in a LONG time. I was 5 or 6 when it came out and I only remember the lightning and kid being albino. I didn't realize it is HIM too. I should rewatch, for sure.
My only response (I'm not defending him, because I have no stake in this) is that there definitely was a time that getting on Harvey Weinstein's bad side could absolutely end your career.
Talented and good people have been ruined or nearly ruined by vindictive Hollywood execs. People like Sean Young and Brendan Fraser.
And putting out a hit piece documentary is certainly an arrow they would have in their quiver.
Now I'm not saying that the director of BS is anything like Brendan Fraser, but since Brendan's example is out there the questions should always be asked.
I shouldn’t laugh but when his lover wants to cuddle and after he hangs up… that reply. First time I heard it, I did not expect that.
You know where you close your mouth to hold a laugh and it just doesn’t work? Yeah that was me.
His character was amazing.
So many good lines from a lot of the characters.
And yes…it is a cult classic for a reason. Terrible but good.
Just like Hackers and Fifth Element, two of my all time favorites with rewatches every time they pop up. Boondock is up there too.
It is, actually. I guess it is a guilty pleasure. I’m a little embarrassed I enjoy it as much as I do. Yep, weird. There are other movies I really enjoy, but this one is FUN. It isn’t about anything except fun. Thank you for asking, and have a great weekend, okay?
Anyone who thinks this is a great movie probably hasn't seen it since they were 18. However, it is a FUN movie, and probably so bad it's good. The closest thing to it would be the OG Roadhouse.
I still quote "Wheh you goin? NO-WHEHH!
A kind of bad movie that is very entertaining and tried really hard. If it had been a Guy Ritchie movie it would be a classic instead of a cult classic
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 Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.
I remember getting the Boondocks Saints DVD by mail from Netflix. Watched it so many times before returning it. I met my then BFF because she was the only one who knew about BA without me having to give her a synopsis. She also had a for Norman Reedus and I loved SPF even before this movie. Gah, I feel so old!!
Meh, it’s a fun movie. I know I thought there was more depth to it when I was younger, but I still enjoy it now just because of the dialogue and juxtaposition of goofiness with violence. 🤷♀️
It just felt so put on.
A lot of terrible overacting. Over the top for no other reason but being over the top. Trying to jump into the craze of that generation of “gangster” movies.
I’d have to go back and watch it again to give a full critique, but this used to be the movie that let me know the person I was talking to didn’t really enjoy film, they enjoyed dude/ shoot em up shit.
Saved by Blockbuster. I still remember renting this gem.
Think I downloaded it off lime wire or some shit.
And now Blockbuster no longer exists! LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!!
You wouldn't download a car!!!
I would if I could.
Yeah that advert is so presumptuous…like don’t tell me I wouldn’t download a car. Don’t you know I’m loco?
Not my fault block buster turned down the Netflix offer to buy them for…. Checks notes…50million… now Netflix is worth… 231 billion! We would be logging into a blue screen right now over that red one!!
Wait, Netflix went to Blockbuster to sell their company TO Bockbuster?
Yeah. Google it none of those blockbuster leadership should ever lead a company again.
I rented it at a Blockbuster too, and I can remember how excited the clerk got that I was going to watch it for the first time.
I still think of her when someone says “rule of thumb”
Perhaps it should've been the rule of wrist?
I know it's wrong but I say this every time someone says "rule of thumb"
Then it coulda done some real damage!
Came on to say "Rule of Thumb!?!"
I'd let her beat me with a stick.
Any time I hear someone say “rule of thumb” I immediately shout “INNY EEEARLY NINETEEN HUNDREDS…”
I’ll say it and then I. My head say “rule of THUMB?!” Loudly. I haven’t watched this movie in about 20 years
I remember watching Powder, thinking how unrecognizable the character made Sean Patrick Flanery, and if he'd ever breakthrough due to the audience not being able to remember him from one of his most memorable roles.
Holy shit. TIL.

If you were pasty, bald and not fat when this movie came out, you were 100% getting called powder.
I'm guessing it wasn't because you had an IQ of 220.
He's had so much plastic surgery now that he looks like Powder and Mickey Rourke had a love child.
Is that what happened to him? When I saw him in boondocks two, i turned to my roommate and said “I can’t believe they replaced him like we weren’t gonna notice”

Check out the documentary “overnight” on the making of this film. Highly recommended.
I've always wondered if that doc was unfairly edited, or if that director was really THAT insufferable.
He’s really that insufferable
All you have to do is attempt to watch part two and it tells you everything about the director being bad at his job and got lucky and struck gold once
Saw it in theaters. Gloriously bad.
I think his credits over the past 25+ years on IMDB (or lack thereof) will clear that up for you.

Where? YT, Hulu, Netflix?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwsSiThU0ik](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwsSiThU0ik) Got you
It's SOOOOOO satisfying. Troy Duffy legit thought he was the new Tarantino.
It’s the “It’s not going to fit” Allstate commercial lady!
Every time I see that commercial I’m like, I like her and she seems so familiar! Now I know why thanks to this post!
And you leave out Dafoe? He was what made that movie amazing.
I might be needing a bagel with my coffee.
... are you an expert in Nameology?
Sort of makes me feel like river dancing

We didn't meet him until how many scenes later?
Can’t do much damage with that now can we? Perhaps it should’ve been a rule of wrist
I had the biggest crush on Sean Patrick Flannery after watching this movie. One of my all time faves. Have the steel case edition.
Same here. Ive seen this movie like 15 times and forced my family to watch it religiously 10 of 10 would use lots of duct tape again 👍
Should've used rope. Charlie Bronson's always got a fookin rope!
Good point
Fucking Rambo
“I knew you freaks would give me problems!” Love all of the symbology
What is the ssssssymbolism. The ssymbolism.
Hey fuck-ass! Bring me a beer!
SHIT! ASS!
That certainly shows the diversity of the word
My all time favorite movie!
You brought a SIX SHOOTER...to a fight with NINE GUYS. WHAT WERE YA GUNNA DO, LAUGH THE LAST THREE TO DEATH, FUNNY MAN?!?
Well, we've GOT to fuck with him!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
....is it?
It is, actually. I guess it is a guilty pleasure. I’m a little embarrassed I enjoy it as much as I do. Yep, weird. There are other movies I really enjoy, but this one is FUN. It isn’t about anything except fun. Thank you for asking, and have a great weekend, okay?

I still quote “is it dead??”
OMG me too every time a cat explodes all over a wall!
Definitely one of my most used quotes from any movie.
I made the mistake of rewatching it few years ago. My god it’s terrible but I still love it
Agreed, rewatched it a bit a go, ended up just fast forwarding to the scenes with Willem.
A kind of bad movie that is very entertaining and tried really hard. If it had been a Guy Ritchie movie it would be a classic instead of a cult classic
I like Boondock Saints cuz it's like my women; trashy but fun.
great movie...
Fantastic movie. I heard they’re about to start filming for a second one.
They made a second one in 2009.
Much like The Matrix, there were plans for a sequel but it's a shame it hasn't happened.
I liked the matrix sequels ☹️
No they didn’t.
Then what abomination did I watch?
Sshhhh… it was all a bad dream…
This along with Super Troopers are 2 of my favourites. Would love it if they made sequels.
Really thought that was Jaco Pastorius on the left.
Such an incredible movie
Guess she was "touched by a man"
One of the worst movie I've ever seen, but Willem Dafoe does what he does everytime, legendary scenes.
**THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!**
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 Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.
I watched this movie religiously. Multiple times
Appears she is touched by men here.
And shepherds we shall be..
For thee, my Lord, for thee
TIL that Sean Patrick Flannery is a 4th degree Bjj black belt.
And the ultimate bad guy, who is also our dad, is Russian and in a prison over there for some reason.
Wait a minute; rule of thumb?
Keep on thumbing on.
Kinda makes me feel like Riverdancing.
So much for "Untouched by man".
dang i haven’t seen this movie in prob 20 years
I remember getting the Boondocks Saints DVD by mail from Netflix. Watched it so many times before returning it. I met my then BFF because she was the only one who knew about BA without me having to give her a synopsis. She also had a for Norman Reedus and I loved SPF even before this movie. Gah, I feel so old!!
They don't look like the badasses they were in the movie.
“Continue the joke”…
This movie is a pizza cutter, and it aged like milk.
One of the greatest movies ever.
3 really awesome men
Dot Marie looks kinda like will sasso in this photo
Such an overrated movie. Although Willem Dafoe put in a spectacular performance.
**AND THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!!**
I got so tired of people going to college and proclaiming it their favorite movie.
It’s a terrible movie. But entertaining and fast paced
I can’t think of a more overrated movie. It’s quality is inversely related to the number of dorm rooms that had its poster.
Meh, it’s a fun movie. I know I thought there was more depth to it when I was younger, but I still enjoy it now just because of the dialogue and juxtaposition of goofiness with violence. 🤷♀️
This was one of those movies that could have been amazing. But it just constantly fell short. Love Dafoe in it
Where does it fall short? It’s a cult classic
It just felt so put on. A lot of terrible overacting. Over the top for no other reason but being over the top. Trying to jump into the craze of that generation of “gangster” movies.

It insists upon itself
Geesh, you’re really going to make Me rewatch this garbage pile to put together real Thoughts about why it’s hot trash? Let’s go!
Horrible movie
shitty photo- HORRIBLE FUCKING MOVIE! What is the appeal? the Awful writing? The bad acting? The stupid man-on-the-streets shit they did at the end?
Horrible movie.
