BTW everyone should go see Inglorious Basterds its amazing :D Its just as gory as Tanrantino's other works...and coincidentally Boondock Saints lol

At this point, I don't think you can actually call it a sequel. Instead, it'll be a new movie based on the first one and most likely be compaired to The Punisher. It'll be a good movie but will be serverly criticized by those who have already seen the first one. You only have so many plot options to work with when it's two crime punishing vigilantes with alot of guns. It's all been done and a new movie will just over do it. How many times can you beat a dead horse dead?

The end of Boondock Saints where they are Interviewing people is intended to make you think about if what they are doing is right or wrong. The Point of the Courtroom scene is to draw you into the idea that Political Justice is not Just. It is Flawed in that there are ways to abuse the system and "God's" way if swift and just, do wrong and you will be judged and if you are found wanting then you will be sent to which ever God you choose.

To make a Sequal, all that could be done is taking the focus away from what the Brothers and now Father are doing and create a focus on something else.

I honestly ask anyone with a firm concept on Sequals to tell me what could possibly be done to tie into the first movie? Same characters but what was left undone? Sure there is a whole world to clean up and send lots of bad guys to their maker but that is implied in the first film that they will contine to have the constitution to keep doing what needs to be done.

The only thing that could possibly come of a sequal is that you see the same characters doing more grandious killing but it won't be as fun. Part of the fun of the first movie is them becoming more and more Grandious as they come to terms with their Holy Calling. Or they do a Prequel and show you how the Father got caught in the first place and how the boyc came to be okay with what their calling would be and perhaps the movie would end where the first one starts and explain the story that the Priest is talking about in the openeing Credits.

Either way I am sure I won't be happy with it but I will certainly see it and would most likely own it just because it would need to be owned.

I will do research on the sequal and see what I come up with.
