* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Gallian]] is an EvilSorcerer who is defined by his belief that he is AboveGoodAndEvil. Magically influencing the primitive, ogre-like Krug into becoming his soldiers, Gallian wages war against the Kingdom of Ehb. He attacks a local village, slaughtering or imprisoning its inhabitants, and personally kills Zeph, [[TheHero Farmer's]] [[WouldHurtAChild young son]]. In the following bloodshed, Gallian's forces kill King Konreid. Gallian later discovers that Farmer's wife, Solana, is pregnant, and uses her as bait to lure in Farmer, who is actually the King's son Camden Konreid. He ultimately kills the magus Merick, declaring that madness will thus forth be known as power. During his final duel with Farmer, he taunts him about his son's death.
* HamAndCheese: Creator/RayLiotta as Gallian and Creator/MatthewLillard as Fallow.
* {{Padding}}: The battle scenes last ''forever'' with nothing interesting happening.
* QuestionableCasting: Might well be the TropeCodifier. You sort of expect to find Creator/JasonStatham, Creator/RonPerlman and Creator/JohnRhysDavies in a movie like this, but then you have ''Creator/BurtReynolds'' as the King, Creator/MatthewLillard as -- well, ''any'' sort of royalty, and Creator/RayLiotta as an EvilSorcerer.
* SoBadItsGood: It's pretty widely agreed that this movie is about as close to entertaining as Creator/UweBoll gets, largely due to its ridiculous casting (see above) and that ridiculous Music/BlindGuardian song that plays over the end credits.
* SpecialEffectFailure:
** The Krug costumes are remarkably crude.
** The CGI backdrop in the throne room looks like something out of a 2003 computer game.
** The crowd shots of the army are obviously composites of the same small group of extras cloned together into one shot.
* WTHCostumingDepartment: Gallian spends most of the movie wearing a leather trench coat in a MedievalEuropeanFantasy.
