The Boondock Saints/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* The saints have, in both movies, a "as much as fits in the bag" shopping spree in a military-style armory. Both times, they only walk out with suppressed pistols, and in both instances they run into situations that needed more firepower. They could have been taken by surprise the first time, but the second time, they ''should'' have learned to grab a few automatics, if just out of caution.

** Could be the brothers suffer from a borderline case of [[Crippling Overspecialization]], because excluding Il Duce's short-barreled shotgun in the climax of #1, we never see a Saint fire anything but a pistol.

** I know a friend who grew up in England with a British father and American mother. She spoke with an English accent growing up. Her dad left them over a decade ago, and she's been back in America for several years, and she still speaks with an English accent. Some people lose accents quickly but others don't.

** They're stated to live in a poor neighborhood full of Irish-Americans, many of whom are presumably immigrants like the brothers' parents. It's not unreasonable to assume that more people in the area use an Irish accent than a Bostonian one, passing it on to their children (i.e. Connor and Murphy).

*** To be specific, the bartender knew about the setup ''and didn't warn Rocco''. Other witnesses were allowed to flee with no pursuit.
