I actually already watched this movie but it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, to be honest, I was at first slightly worried.

Basically, they tried to introduce all the major characters and explain their motivation all at once in a very short time but it was really weak. Fort... read more

In a land of dragons and knights, though you may not recognize him, Dennis Quaid appears as, Bowen, a less than honest knight who befriends the last dragon left in pursuit of his own schemes. This bittersweet film tells a tale as old as time of the true meaning of sacrifice and honor.

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 dragon slayer, encounters Draco. The two team up to form a traveling 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.

Rating: 7.0/10 Why Did I Watch It? I remember wanting to see this back in the 1990s, as I saw the posters and the VHS tapes at the local video store, but I never got around to watching it. The recent 4K Blu-ray put it back on my radar and I wasn't going to let it slip again, so I ren"

"12.8. (DVD) #leffahaaste2018 Ihan ensiksi täytyy mainita, että en ollut koskaan aiemmin nähnyt tätä. Elin harhaluulossa, että kyseessä olisi eeppinen fantasia, jonka tehosteet olisivat olleet uraa uurtavia. Kuinka väärässä olin. Leffahan oli lähinnä köyhän slapstick-huumorin varaan rakennettua kepeää viihdettä, jossa Connery on lohikäärme - ruma sellainen. Tehosteet eivät siis ole kestäneet aikaa. Kestoa on onneksi sopivan vähän ja rumaakin rumempi kuningas saa lopussa "
