    Storyline

    Edit
    The young, sickly King Einon was wounded in a battle. In order for him to survive, he is healed by Draco, a dragon. Some years later, Bowen, a dragonslayer, encounters Draco. The two team up to form a travelling duo that perform an act, but the act is only known by themselves. Bowen supposedly "slays" Draco and then collects a reward from the town or village that he protects by killing the dragon who had been "terrorizing" them. From there, Bowen and Draco must save the entire kingdom from the rule of the now evil King Einon, who is part of Draco, and Draco a part of him.

    • Quotes

      Draco: Who's the girl?

      Bowen: A nuisance! Get rid of her.

      Draco: Why?

      Bowen: They're trying to placate you with a sacrifice.

      Draco: [knowingly] Oh, now whoever gave them *that* bright idea?

      Bowen: Never mind! Just get rid of her!

      Draco: How?

      Bowen: Eat her!

      Draco: Oh, please. YUCK!

      Bowen: Aren't we squeamish; you ate Sir Egglemore, hypocrite!

      Draco: I merely chewed in self-defense, but I never swallowed.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK releases have a sound effect substitution to get a "PG" rating. A neckbreak sound towards the finale of the film has been substituted with a punch sound effect.

    good movie
    This movie was rather good. It used technology to its fullest extent to make the Dragon realistic. However, this was one movie that should have used more character development, instead of relying just on special effects. the story was good, but it could have used a little more development. All in all, it was a good movie, and I enjoyed it.
