It's been 10—count 'em, 10!—years since brothers Connor and Murphy McManus kicked off their quest to rid Boston of evildoers in director Troy Duffy's "The Boondock Saints," and now the city's vigilante duo are strapping on their guns (and rope) for the sequel to the cult-classic film.
"Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day" hits theaters October 30, reuniting actors Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus as the McManus brothers, along with Billy Connolly, who reprises his role as their long-lost father (the mysterious and lethal "Il Duce"). Even with a decade between them and their debut as the McManus siblings, Flanery and Reedus told MTV News it was easy to slip back into character—as easy as putting on a pea coat and slinging some rope over their shoulders, in fact.
"You put on the pea coats and all that and it's sort of deja vu," said Reedus. "doing this film, the second one, is like coming back home in a way."
"We're all friends anyway, so it's not like doing a regular movie where a director calls your agent and you're speaking through eight people," said Flanery. "It really feels like we shot the first one a year or two years ago. It's like slipping on a nice, old suit."
So, with so many positive feelings about the experience, would they be willing to do another?
"I'd like to do 10 of these," said Reedus.
"Man, I would totally do 10," agreed Flanery.
What do you think? Ten more outings with "Boondock"? Is that enough? More? Twice that number?
