Later in the scene where Willem Dafoe dresses as a woman, Duffy mentions the time he first showed the scene to Tingle, who said, "Oh, I know that girl. She's from Boston. At the commentary 1hr23min mark - Troy Duffy gets angry. The comparisons made by critics and other commentators of Duffy and other directors like Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie comes up. He feels Tarantino "reinvented cool," but also mentions certain elements of Pulp Fiction may have subconsciously influenced The Boondock Saints.

Duffy mentions how much fun working on The Boondock Saints was, but he also mentions the sense of guidance or worth is always in question on a first-timer until the time comes that he says, "Action.

The scene between Willem Dafoe and the three cops - who Troy Duffy refers to as The Three Stooges assisting him in the diner was the first day of filming for Dafoe.

It's worth mentioning, because of the dynamic of the group of those four men and how it changes from their earlier scenes. They're more disheveled and worn out from the investigation, but there's a comfort between the three cops and Dafoe's character.

The end credits, which lay over a series of news clips asking people about the Boondock Saints, mostly consists of Troy Duffy just naming names.
