Could the 3 Saints take out Tony Soprano if Tony new they were coming for him?

Almost certainly, but they might take losses, rather than just flesh wounds this time.

The Saints would utterly whomp Tony and his fat men.

And Willem Dafoe would get to shout "THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!" again.

[New Jersey Accent]"Hey Tony, meet Il Duce, yer fockin' Irish nightmayer. FUGGEDABOUDIT!!!!"[/New Jersey Accent]

The Saints would wipe the floor with his fat ass. Then they'd argue and have slap fights about which one was going to date Meadow.

Tony would be dead within a day or two. Three divinely inspired and aided killers against a fatm middle aged, New Jersey, Mafiosa?

Tony would be face down with penny's over his eyes really quick. Especially with the clowns Tony has working for them. If they could take down Blank-Face so easily no one in Tony's crew would stand a chance.

And yes, Yosemite, you must see this movie.

The Sopranos would stand a good chance of winning. He knows the Saints are coming, remember. The mob in the movie had no trouble capturing the two brothers when they assualted thier house.

But the brothers, being righteous and protected by God, managed to escape only bloodied a little. And the mob guys did get killed off soon enough.

I'm not impressed at all by the Saints killing abilities. None of them can hit shit. When the old dude ambushed the kids after they came out of that guys garage, he emptied six guns at them, and didn't even kill one of them. (Super profesional killer my ass.) The kids suck also. They only nicked the old guy. Bottom line: The saints suck at shooting.

Of course in another scene they nail the Russian Mafioso in the hotel room while spinning around upside down.

And let us not forget the divine proctection covered Il Duce?

Since when are the Saints divinely protected? From what I can see, they were simply good at getting the drop on their targets. Furthermore, I'd hardly call getting shot in the leg and shoulder and getting captured by the mob "divine protection." These guys bleed, just like everyone else. They simply lucked out that Il Duce was their father.

Furthermore, I think a more interesting scenario would be Furio and Christopher vs. the two brothers.

And since when are either The Sopranos or The Boondock Saints science fiction?

The Saints were amateurs to be sure. But to say they're suck-ass shots is ridiculous considering what they pulled off with the Russians in the hotel suite. Have you ever been in combat? It's easy to get freaked out if you're not very experienced, and freaked out people can't hit the broad side of a barn.

The brothers didn't appear to have any prior combat experience before the rampage they went on in the movie. Prior to the shootout you're talking about above, they had the total advantage of surprise in each engagement. When they met the old man, he had the advantage of surprise on them. As can be expected in that situation, they freaked out and couldn't shoot worth piss.

As for the old man, he hadn't seen any action in over 20 years and was by himself against three opponents when he had been expecting only one. Remember that the people who hired him were convinced that Rocco was doing the hits all by himself, so Il Duce was probably expecting only the one target. The combination of his long years away from the business and suddenly realizing at the moment of truth that he was outnumbered…he could have been just as frazzled as the Saints were.

You have to remember that there's more to combat success than the cowboy shit you see in most movies.

As for Tony Soprano, I have to admit that I haven't seen too much of the show. But from what I have seen, I think he's an arrogant fuck who believes he's as untouchable as God himself. He'd almost certainly be overconfident against a couple of Irish guys on some holy mission. Ego leads to underestimation, which is one of the worst weaknesses you can have.
