Q

What was the song in the trailer?

A

In one particular trailer, there are two songs used: the first being Celldweller's "Switchback," the second is "Step Up" by Drowning Pool. In many of the TV spots, "So Far Away" by Staind was played.

Q

What is the name of the song Harry Heck sings in the diner?

A

It's called "In Time" by Mark Collie. Harry Heck only sings two verses of the song. The first 50 seconds of the song by Mark Collie is also looped as the DVD Menu music.

Q

Why did the Saints blame Castle for killing their son? It was the Russians...

A

While Bobby panicked and pointed his guns towards the Russians, the Russians mistook the motion for an attempt on their boss. The Russians opened fire, killing Bobby. Then the FBI killed the Russians.The reason the Saints blame Castle is because the deal between Bobby/Mickey and the Russians was brokered by "Otto Krieg". They find out that Krieg was actually undercover FBI Agent Frank Castle. The Saint's logic was that Castle was the reason they were all in on the same deal together and therefore the reason Bobby was killed. Not to mention, the Russians were dead, so "Krieg" was the only one left to blame.
