10!!''In The Name of The King 2: Two Worlds'' provides examples of:
11
12* ArmorIsUseless: The budget apparently couldn't afford much in the way of armor. Only the rank-and-file soldiers wear it, and it doesn't provide any protection.
13* BlandNameProduct: The kingdom itself. While strongly implied to be Ehb, and the previous king is implied to be the hero of the previous film, all references to ''VideoGame/DungeonSiege'' are absent.
14* ChekhovsGunman: The "Dark One" who Granger shoots in his house turns out to be [[spoiler: The Holy Mother.]]
15* CurbStompBattle: Granger versus Raven, who is never presented as a physical threat.
16* DisposableWoman: Granger's "bed mate" suddenly tries to kill him and winds up stabbing herself. End of that plotline.
17* TheDragon: The King has a beefy henchmen who is his chief enforcer and butts heads with Granger.
18* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Elianna, who unceremoniously dies immediately after they go through the portal.
19* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Granger is introduced teaching a martial arts class. He spars with a group of cops and has to restrain one who gets too caught up in the fight and tries to kick him in the balls.
20* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:The King, Raven, is revealed to be the Big Bad]].
21* FacelessGoons: The Dark Ones wear hoods and smear grease over their faces.
22* FauxActionGirl: Elianna is introduced as a tough and confident fighter. She's killed by random mooks very early in the film.
23* GarnishingTheStory: A dragon shows up randomly to sow some discord.
24* GroinAttack: One of the cops sparring with Granger gets caught up and tries to kick Granger in the balls. During a demonstration for children.
25* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:The Holy Mother turns out to be a hero]].
26* HiddenBackupPrince: [[spoiler: Granger, who was sent to an orphanage far into the (then) future.]]
27* InNameOnly: Not so much to the game series the first movie was based on, but to the first movie itself. None of the characters return for this movie, none of the places are mentioned by name, and all references to ''VideoGame/DungeonSiege'' are gone. Unlike the previous film, this one is bookended by scenes in modern day. The only thing they really share is a HiddenBackupPrince.
28* TheMedic: Manhattan is a healer. Granger tells her about penicillin.
29* TheProphecy: The whole reason Granger is brought to the kingdom.
30* TheReveal: The opening scene features a fantasy battle in the forest, only for it to be revealed that it takes place in modern-day Vancouver.
31* SequelHook: The amulet that Granger was given begins to emit magic similar to that used to open the portal to the other time.
32* StageWhisper: The King whispers most of his dialogue, apparently to hint that he's villainous.
33* VancouverDoubling: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged.]] The modern scenes are specifically said to be in Vancouver, where the scenes were shot, but the medieval scenes were also shot in British Columbia.
