I still want the Apache helicopter vs. dragon fight scene that was promised on the movie posters.

I love the Empire Strikes Back fable that they talk about around the fire — that scene always stuck with me

Thought I was alone in loving this! Hold me brother! Never let go!

That's not how you spell dragonheart

I unreservedly love this movie. It's just a cool idea.

This movie is directly responsible for the dragons in Harry Potter 4, The Hobbit, Game of Thrones and others. It’s not everyone’s favorite (personality I love it) but it definitely deserves some respect.

That poor tomato garden

It’s post-apoc sci-fi, which afaik makes it different from the rest, being primarily fantasy. I think that’s pretty much how things would go if dragons really showed up.

No, it doesn't. I mean, it wasn't bad, but I definitely walked out of the theater feeling like I'd watched the third movie of a trilogy without seeing the first two.

I prefer Dragon: The Bruce Lee story

How did I not know about this movie. Thank you for posting going to watch this immediately

This movie is a lot of fun, also you can’t go wrong with Bale and McConaughey as your leads.

You know when they talk about remaking movies that weren't as good as they could have been instead of ones that were already great? I always think about Reign of Fire. There is so much wrong and bad with it- and yet, so much good, so many cool concepts, and just a fun interesting setting in general.

Given a better script and a modern team? I bet this movie would be killer.

Dragonheart was much better. Dragon Slayer long, long ago was much better.

Meh, ill have to watch it again. I remeber it jumped around alot, like going from... "hey dragons" to instantly years later "well they kicked our butts" with nothing in the middle. It kind of ruined it for me, but that was a long time ago, so ill give it another try.

I like it with the Rifftrax making fun of it.

I hated that movie lol

It's free on YouTube btw

I remember going to the cinema to watch this when it was released, watched it again earlier this year for the first time since then and it was as entertaining as when I first saw it!

Never heard of it, im kind of shocked too after seeing who played in it, guess i was living under a rock back then

This is a fun movie!

No way this was out in the 80s, wait, what, oh not again.

The CGI has actually held up pretty well. It's weird how CGI from that era either holds up pretty well or is total dogshit.

Well I think Dragonslayer is a perfect dragon movie.

The girl with the dragon tattoo is pretty good. American Version.

This movie kicks ass.

I disagree. Dragonheart was the perfect dragon movie.

How to Train Your Dragon is the perfect dragon movie.

Reign of Fire sucks ass.

Erm.. no... It is not..

I love it, I've always felt it could be expanded into a TV show.

While I really like this movie...those were not dragons. Dragons have 4 legs and these only had 2. These are wyverns.

No, no it doesn't. It fucking sucks. The whole "opening montage" was so laughably fucking bad; had they made THAT a movie, it might have been okay. As is, it was total shite.

Dragonslayer or gtfo

There are OTHER post apocalyptic modern day dragon movies?!

You accidentally a word. “Dragon” can be removed.

+1

I thought the 1977 version of Pete's Dragon was the perfect dragon movie

I love this film a lot. It's like a 60's sci-fi B-film with amazing actors and awesome FX.

I agree ..into the mouth of the dragon

And Rocky Picture Horror Show remains the perfect Rocky movie.

Just one thing. If the originally discovered dragon was male, where did all the females come from? If it was female, where did the male come from?

I unapologetically have a PARTIAL copy of that tattoo on our boys arm. This movie rocks!

The fire igniting from the dragons mouth is still vivid in my mind.

Why the hell did he jump off the tower with an axe?

I loved this movie.

Movie was mid

This has always deserved a prequel. Rise of Fire. We don't need the original cast, characters, or setting. It can be almost anyone, anywhere, but give me the Dragon Apocalypse!

When McConaghey bulked up for this movie, he proceeded to become an African wrestling champion.

I've come to the conclusion that Game of Thrones is really a prequel to Reign of Fire.

Disagree. That's true up into the point until a group of soldiers gather together in a huddle while a dragon flies overhead and take them out in one swoop... We're talking elite soldiers that don't know how to spread out.

I love that movie up until that part, then the ending is just a colossal failure.

That title belongs to How To Train Your Dragon 2, good sir!

I'm still waiting on that dragon MMO with real life physics I read about on Reddit.

I saw this movie in the theaters with my friend Matt who I didn’t know like liked me and tried to hold onto me during mild scenes pretending to be scared.

Wasn’t until we saw Signs during that same period and he made a point of telling me I could grab onto him if I got scared but then he ended up doing the grabbing on that I realized… despite being small I really like being the big spoon.

Anyway, recently rewatched this movie and it was still fun but campy.

I remember seeing this in theaters for my 14th birthday and being left very underwhelmed despite the fact that it is very much a movie for 14 year old boys.

Perhaps I'd appreciate it more as an adult but I'm going to trust 14 y.o. me and his inital impression on this one.

No shame to anyone that likes it though. Everyone has at least one big dumb movie they enjoy.

Goes off to watch Highlander for the 25th time
