That brings up the question, when will MST3K finally riff an Uwe Boll movie?
Has he ever made a movie that isnât a hard-R for violence and/or language?
Not counting the straight to streaming movies that never got a rating at all?
I am pretty sure In the Name of the King was PG-13âŚ
Thatâs all I got.
The ones that I checked on IMDB had all kinds of parental warnings about F-bombs.
I thought I checked this one and was surprised to see it [R] but youâre right, it is PG-13. (Maybe I confused it with Far Cry?) Anyway, letâs see what the advisory isâŚ
- Film opens with giant makeout scene.
- Several scenes of kissing which then implies sex.
- The king has a irresponsible, immoral and immature nephew who in one scene is caught âamusingâ himself on the kingâs throne with a woman who is sitting on his lap. He is accusing her of being âa naughty girlâ.
- A woman is shown sitting in bed with a revealing shirt. The side of her breast is visible.
SoâŚmaybe Deathstalker level? Could be.
Itâs one of his better movies, apparently?
Apparently the sequel was rated R. Until today I did not even know there was a sequel.
It garnered 3.8 stars out of 10 on IMDB, which nearly matches the Rotten Tomatoes rating (4% fresh), so better than most of his efforts.
That is one of the most bipolar trailers I have ever had the misfortune to watch.
Iâm so sorry to have done this to you.
Not to get all mathy on you but I think 3.8 out of 10 would map closer to 40% than 4%.
But these scoring systems arenât really fungible.
I was just noting it was ranked 11th on his IMDB ratings. Though the 3s are his âmiddle tierâ, heh.
I actually thought Blackwoodsâbefore anyone knew who Boll wasâwas pretty okay. Derivative as hell but good atmosphere.
If itâs your third birdemic and youâre still fighting them with coat hangers⌠thatâs on you.
Math is hard!
Thatâs the angle I was taking with the bad math comparison, but not every joke lands.
Itâs all in theâŚ
âŚTI
âŚMING!
For the folks that were curious what he looks like in action.
More of Honest John this time around, too.
The time could have been right for it.
But it looks to be a retread of all of the Dead by Daylights, VHSes. Deceits, and White Noises out there. The asymmetrical multiplayer thing is crowded.
If it was in line with something like Destroy All Humans! in an open âCrescent Coveâ⌠that woulda been pretty sweet.
At least it wonât have to deal with the copyright shenanigans the Friday the 13th game did.
