Church of the Covenant
Boston, USA
The opening scene of "The Boondock Saints" takes place in this church, where the MacManus brothers, Connor and Murphy, put on a show of devotion as the priest delivers a sermon against indifference to evil. This church is a key location in the film, and the imposing crucifix seen in the movie was built specifically for the film. While not an actual Catholic church, it provided a visually striking backdrop for the movie's intense opening scene, setting the theme of the film.
Lakeview Restaurant
Toronto, Canada
Oh, Lakeview Restaurant in Toronto is where Rocco let loose on those backstabbing colleagues in The Boondock Saints! You know, that intense showdown after he got set up at the Copley Plaza. It's the spot where things got real messy, and the scene added some serious grit to the movie.
Now, beyond the movie buzz, Lakeview Restaurant is a classic joint with a rich history. It's been around since 1932, dishing out comfort food and soaking in that old-school charm. This place has seen it all, from regulars sipping coffee to Hollywood drama unfolding right at its tables. And if those walls could talk, they'd spill tales of countless stories that blend with the savory aroma of their iconic dishes.
