    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Troy Duffy recollects going to a bar with Rocco during production. There was a woman working there who Rocco really liked. As chance would have it, this woman was a huge Willem Dafoe fan, and Rocco ended up getting Dafoe into the bar. When she saw him, the woman was very excited and began asking him for an autograph. Dafoe, always the smoothie, told the woman he'd give her an autograph if it was okay with Rocco.
    • Goofs
      When the bar fight scene begins the brothers are telling the Russians some phrases in Russian, which are translated in subtitles. Actually the words that they are saying not only don't respond to the translation, they are mostly made up and make no sense at all.
    • Quotes
      • Rocco: Fuckin'- What the fuckin'. Fuck. Who the fuck fucked this fucking... How did you two fucking fucks...
      • [shouts]
      • Rocco: Fuck!
      • Connor: Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.
    • Crazy credits
      Clips of people being interviewed about their opinions on "the saints" are shown while the credits roll.
    • Alternate versions
      The so-called North American widescreen DVD release is cropped from a full-frame version that has aired on Canadian cable television.
