Quiz: Name that movie

[mainer]

@FreezerBurn - Close enough. The actual movie title is: In the Name of the King, a Dungeon Siege Tale, staring Jason Stratham. Loosely based on a really great game from 2002, Dungeon Siege. I thought it was a great ARPG that had absolutely no load screens and your party could travel seamlessly from outdoor maps to indoor, and vice versa.

Unfortunately, the movie didn't even come close. I've tried to watch it several times over the years, but either fell asleep, or turned it off. Directed by our favorite games-to-movies director: Uwe Boll. If there's a 10 worst list of games-to-movies movies somewhere, this one is surely a candidate.

I think any 'bottom 10' list would need to put a 'one entry per director' limit in or Uwe movies would dominate the list. OH! Look at who's in that film! Burt Reynolds? John Rhys-Davis!?

I've had the same experience, tried to watch it multiple times and somehow blanked the whole thing, and I have a pretty high tolerance for fantasy/scifi/video game dross stories.

Also Ray Liotta and Ron Perlman. Its got the lowest Rotten Tomatoes rating I've ever seen, and they made a sequel starring Dolph Lundgren. Who is it that Uwe Boll knows something about to keep getting these made?

Who is it that Uwe Boll knows something about to keep getting these made?

He just happened to know something about Germany's tax laws that allowed him to make movies that made less than their budget but were still profitable for him.

Since that tax loophole was closed, the budgets for his movies have gone way down.

@Pifanjr Do you have a link? Sounds like an interesting story

@FreezerBurn I'll take a stab at Silent Hill?

As for the quiz, it reminds me most of Mad Max, but I don't remember a scene like this.

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

@Pifanjr nice, thanks!

Yea I though Mad Max 3 from a distance but theres no Master on his back and the mask is wrong.

 

[FreezerBurn]

Maybe this will help.

 

[mainer]

The Beastmaster, 1982?

 

[FreezerBurn]

The Beastmaster, 1982?

bingo!

 

[mainer]

This is from the mid-2000s, kind of a futuristic-scifi-horror movie.

 

[mainer]

No, it's not Tarzan. Here's a couple more shots for Monday. In addition to being kind of futuristic-scifi-horror movie, it also involves sort of a twisted take on Christianity.

 

[rizal]

cars three ?

 

[mainer]

No, it's not cars three.

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

Damn I was going to say Tarzan or Cars Three.

I guess I'll have to go with my third choice: Priest. Its was alright as I remember.

 

[mainer]

It is indeed Priest! From 2011, I found it hard to classify, as it's kind of a blend of different genres. I thought it was a pretty decent movie. The first time I watched it I kept thinking, "this is so strange", it was just one of the movies that kept me watching till the end.

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

OK then they're all easy if you know them:

Battle Royale?

 

[Kaamos_Llama]

Maybe I should have kept Beat out of the first pic. I checked the first few pages, but sorry if its been done already.

What you got Frindis ?

Spoiler: Ahem

Pub 0 is The Winchester where we can have a nice cold pint and wait for it all to blow over

I'm still salty the trailer for that movie spoiled the twist.
