Seriously guys, start paying attention! Joe Lynch’s The Knights of Badassdom is one of the weaker titles in terms of popularity here on BD — but we hope to change that today. I promise to make sure you get head (see below). In all seriousness, how could you not be excited for the flick? It has heavy metal demons, the insane cast of Ryan Kwanten (Dead Silence, “True Blood”), Steve Zahn (Joy Ride, A Perfect Getaway), Peter Dinklage, Danny Pudi (“Community”), and mega-hottie Summer Glau (the “Terminator” TV series), and now some serious gore. Check out an insane behind-the-scenes image that features a head, and some random innards. Yum-yum.
“After being dumped by his sexy girlfriend Beth, Joe (Kwanten) reluctantly decides to join Eric (Zahn) and his LARPing (Live Action Role Players) friends in the woods rather than stay behind and feel sorry for his newly single status. There he meets hot, ass-kicking, intimidating LARPer Gwen (Glau), and finds himself plunged into a surreal adventure wilder than he ever imagined when a make-believe wizard casts an all-too-real spell from an ancient book. That spell releases an actual demon with a taste for human blood — and souls — that starts systematically decimating the players in this suddenly deadly “game.” Will our guys become the heroes they have been pretending to be before time runs out?”
