      According to an interview on IGN, the producers originally cast Liam Neeson in the role of Bowen, but the studio didn't think audiences would buy him as an action hero.
    • Goofs
      The graphic at the beginning gives the year as 984. The tear drop shields did not come to England until 1066 with the Normans.
    • 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.
