Despite it being a box office bomb,[3] and a critical failure, a made-for-TV sequel, Wrath of the Dragon God, was released in 2005. It was not a direct continuation of the storyline of the previous film, though Bruce Payne's character, Damodar, makes a return. A third film, The Book of Vile Darkness, was shot in 2011[4] and released direct-to-DVD in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2012.
