By David Chen/July 25, 2009 4:02 pm EST

I learned something today at the San Diego Comic-Con: The only fans here more supportive of a property than Twilight fans are Boondock Saints fans. I attended the panel, which was populated by some of the biggest Boondock Saints fans in the world, to see a world-premiere of the trailer and learn a little bit about the new film. I couldn’t hear a lot of the stuff going on in the trailer because of all the deafening and constant cheering, but hit the jump to hear my reactions to the trailer parts I WAS able to make out:

A COPYCAT KILLER IS IMITATING THE BOONDOCK SAINTS! GUNS! JULIE BENZ IS HOT! SLOW MOTION! MORE GUNS! SLOW MOTION! PEOPLE SHOOTING THINGS! ONE-LINERS! LOTS OF GUNS! PEOPLE GETTING SHOT! MORE ONE-LINERS! SLOW MOTION! CLIFTON COLLINS JR.! MORE GUNS! EXPLOSIONS! BILLY CONNOLLY HAS LOTS OF GUNS IN HIS JACKET AGAIN! AGAIN WITH THE ONE-LINERS! PETER FONDA, FOR SOME REASON! DID I MENTION THERE WERE GUNS IN THIS MOVIE? SLOW MOTION! But don’t take my word for it. I interviewed a couple of fans after the panel. Here’s what they had to say: Other tidbits from the panel: In terms of characters: Willem Dafoe will not return for the sequel, but Rocco and Gerard Parkes will be back as their respective characters. Asked, “Do you get to use your fing rope in the second one,” one of the Saints said “There’s a lot of fing rope.” Troy Duffy was asked about the chances for a third film. his response?  “Why don’t we all just watch this f***ing one first?” but implied that he had more ideas for a third film, should the opportunity come. The new film will feature flashbacks to Il Duce from the 1970s, explaining his backstory as a killer.
