According to Dolphlundgren.com, Dolph is currently shooting a sequel to "In the Name of the King" where he will play a special forces commando who travels back in time to the dark ages. Sounds pretty awesome...

I'm not familiar with the original, what was it about?

If it's the "In the name of the king, a dungeon siege tale" Then that's just a d&d ripoff.

Did D&D have Dolph as a commando from the future? I don't think so.

Sounds like this is the movie for you, my friend.

Just got my copy of this. Good fun. I like to see Dolph doing genre. It's a lower budget than the first, of course, but it's always good to see Dolph in action. Maybe they'll make a franchise out this for him.

All the watchable people in the first one died really quickly, almost like they couldn't afford good actors for the whole length of the film. But I'll give this one a go because, you know, Dolph.

That's really the only reason. This is a name-only sequel. And the first one was crappy anyway, so that's probably for the best.

So I watched it... well I watched the first half so far anyway, and it was pretty funny. I mean, it was obviously a crap movie, poorly made, storyline made no sense, and all those medieval wenches trying to bed the poor chap... and he was so tired! But it's entirely enjoyable because Dolph plays the modern man stuck in medieval world so amusingly, like the whole thing is just some strange game or something that he just has to go along with. I especially like how often the medieval dudes are poking him with knives or trying to get him to be respectful to their king and he just flat out insults them, but they don't understand him so they just give a puzzled look. But my favourite bit is when the hot chick goes off suddenly about how much she hates things then comes back in and does the whole; if we die tomorrow I don't want to be unfulfilled line and he's like "huh?" then she just crawls on top of him and he just goes, "Oh, ok then." just like, if I have to. With the same tired acceptance with which he treats all medieval things. Someone trying to knife me? I'll punch them a bit. Some wench trying to bed me? Sure, why not? But only the hot brunette, the blond one I don't find attractive enough.

I like how he comes back to her and says "I didn't kill the witch; she told me the King is bad and I'm the new King now" and she's just like "all right". Then he runs into random people and picks the prettiest girl in the nicest armor and says "I'll make you King when I go back to my shithole apartment because it would never occur to me to rule this awful world with no water purification".

It's so trippy how right before that he fights of hoards of baddies and gets his new best friend killed (they became best friends right before he got killed, right after a movie full of antagonism) so he bloodbaths his way to this camp and then he just walks right up to the enemy camp and walks right in to the head lady's tent. With all the guards just watching.
