Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale is a 2006 fantasy film directed by Uwe Boll, inspired by the Dungeon Siege video game series. It was produced by Brightlight Pictures and distributed by Freestyle Releasing and Vivendi Entertainment in the United States and Canada. 20th Century Fox took distribution overseas. It premiered at the American Film Market on November 3, 2006. It was released in Germany on November 29, 2007 and was released in the United States on January 11, 2008.Set in the kingdom of Ehb, the story follows a man called Farmer (Jason Statham), an orphan who was adopted by the village. When Farmer's wife, Solana (Claire Forlani), and his son leave to sell vegetables at the town of Stonebridge, his farm is attacked by creatures called Krug. With the help of his friend and mentor, Norrick (Ron Perlman), he fights off the Krug and travels to Stonebridge. However, the Krug kill his son and capture his wife. Accompanied by Norrick and Bastian (Will Sanderson), his brother-in-law, Farmer intends to find and rescue his wife.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Krug are being controlled by the wizard Gallian (Ray Liotta) who is amassing an army to overthrow King Konreid (Burt Reynolds), with the assistance of the King's nephew, Fallow (Matthew Lillard).This film marks the one and very likely only time Hong Kong veteran action choreographer Ching Siu-tung would work on a video game movie, and his Wire Fu effects are notably evident in the forest battle scenes and the final fight.Two DTV sequels have been released: In the Name of the King 2: Two Worlds and In the Name of the King 3: Last Mission, with substantially smaller budgets and sequences set in modern day Vancouver and Sofia, respectively. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: People that don't watch the deleted scenes or the Extended Director's Cut may wonder what happened to Fallow after Farmer is outed as a prince in the middle of his duel with Tarish. For some reason Boll took out the scene where Tarish immediately slits Fallow's throat after Farmer is outed. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| In the Name of the King / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: According to Merick, a magus must always serve a king in order to retain his power. Gallian serves no one yet is extremely powerful. When asked, Gallian reveals that he had the Krug accept him as their king and now serves himself. It's implied that this wouldn't work for everyone, only someone already insane enough to believe that. After a couple of other plans to dispose of the king fail, Fallow decides to just kill him in open view on the battlefield. Being the king's closest known relative, Fallow will become the new king, after which he can just pardon himself of the resulting treason and murder charges. It's indicated that this would have worked, too, if not for Farmer having been discovered to be the king's son, causing him to become the new king instead of Fallow. | |

Dungeon Bypass | |
| In the Name of the King / int_b4d6aa7d | comment |
Dungeon Bypass: A meta example. In the game, the Broken Bridge forces the player through a haunted tomb and a Dwarven mine. Here, it's an opportunity to go ziplining. Admittedly, this would have added a lot to the films runtime for no reason and is, in its own context, largely an excuse to kill skeletons for their loot and XP. | |

Complexity Addiction: For all the complicated plans that Fallow comes up with to get rid of Konreid, it turns out that there really was never any reason (other than the fact that it wouldn't have done his public image much good) why he couldn't have just gone the full-on Klingon Promotion route and killed Konreid in open view of everyone, then pardoned himself of any resulting criminal charges upon becoming the new king. | |
