I couldn’t find a good picture of Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta pointing there guns straight at the camera with the Bible quote attached, but that’s the picture I would have used if I could find it. When googling Boondock Saints there were at least five(!) separate shots of Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus pointing their guns straight at the camera.

Other than the plots being entirely different and pulp fiction being in an entirely different format and the two guys there only being one part of the movie and also that boondocks saints quote I don't think actually being a real quote from anything other than the dude saying it in the movie? I mean if the bar to clear is 'guys with guns saying dramatic things before they shoot people' man I've got some REAL tough news about what movies have ripped each other off since the dawn of film making

 I’m sorry that you don’t understand the difference between “shot-for-shot clone” and “ripoff,” but it’s pretty clear to anyone with a functioning brain that that Boondock Saints is a crappy movie that was heavily influenced by Pulp Fiction and probably doesn’t get made (or is significantly different from its current form) in a world where Pulp Fiction doesn’t exist

C’mon guys. Quipping assassin duos has been a genre since silent film days, rivaling westerns and romantic comedies for popularity. Remember that one with Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin?

I just can't get over that dream speech in Boondock Saints 2. It's clearly supposed to be real hard, mean, and epic, but it's just Old Man Yells At Cloud.

At no point while reading the thread title did I imagine that there would be sincere arguments along the lines of “heh, stupid idiots, Pulp Fiction ripoffs don’t even exist”  And that somehow morphed into “heh, stupid idiots, a movie can only be considered a ripoff if it copies another movie’s cinematography 100% shot-for-shot, its script 100% line-for-line, and its plot 100% beat-for-beat”  I gotta hand it to you, Goons, you’ve outdone yourselves yet again

Milla Jovovich made a pretty good career staring in Matrix rip-offs. They should put her in the next one. For a truly terrible Pulp Fiction rip off, I'd recommend "3000 Miles to Graceland". Or maybe just watch this part where Kevin Costner shoots a bunch of people while dressed as Elvis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avjNRvEfYyo

Matrix ripoffs are worse because all action movies suck forever now. I never saw Boondock Saints though.

Are there any films where the director puts himself in it just to scream the n-word? I haven't seen Boondock saints, does it happen in that?

There’s a bit where one of the bad guys and Ron Jeremy sit another guy down and tell him an extended n-word filled joke and it’s like a 5 minute scene. I dunno if one of them is the director though

I haven't seen BS either but I did watch the documentary Overnight. It wouldn't surprise me if Troy Duffy casually dropped racial slurs in everyday conversation. That trailer for the documentary just doesn't do justice to how big an rear end in a top hat Duffy is/was.

a hot gujju bhabhi posted:No one said it has to be a direct scene by scene copy. Who are you arguing with? I’m not arguing with anyone anymore, I’m pretty confident that I proved that Pulp Fiction ripoffs do, in fact, exist, and that Boondock Saints is a great example of a particularly bad one. The first statement was directed at you, the second one was directed at the other guy. I was making fun of him for not being able to notice similar patterns and styles among two very similar movies where one was heavily “influenced” by the other.

A bunch of goons being incredulous that a bunch of late 90's action films are somehow extremely and incompetently influenced by Tarantino is really funny to me.

Boondock Saints is great because it's basically a movie about two young men becoming jihadists after god calls out to them to stop the decadence of modern america by killing sinful people, only the two leads are white catholics instead of brown muslims so an entire generation of lovely dudes unironically thought it was badass and cool
