Keep in mind this was 2002. I still have no idea how they made those dragons look so real. Even by todays standards you can hardly tell they are 18/19 year old CGI renders!
@@artygunnar I hear they have a nasty habit of taking over the mountains of Dwarves and stealing all their money. Probably why we haven't seen realistic Dragons since then. They don't need to act in movies anymore, they got rich from the money they stole from the Dwarves! Some body needs to get a Wizard and some Elves over there to figure that one out!
Old doesn't mean a thing in regards to CGI. Starship Troopers still looks better than 80% of today CGI and it's a 1997 movie. Nowadays people are just lazy f*cks and will make a quick CGI instead of taking the time to do it right and even adding some practical effect to give a better feeling of immersion.
I dont think its underrated at all, I remembered this movie being the hype movie back then everyone in school would talk about it and brag about having an hd copy of this movie
@@NeroAngelo616 In my opinion Reign of fire is a far more unique and better concept than 28 days later but 28 days later by far is the better film. Both pretty terrifying but huge dragons would be way scarier and almost practically unescapable despite the infected/zombies in 28 being some of the best and most terrifying itterations on screen of all time Reign of fire is truly brilliant for me as well zombies/infected can be done and reinterpreted and rewashed countless times again all over where as Reign of fire is truly a one off type of universe it would be hard to top that for another dragon kind of movie/show even if the film was mixed received and had some flawed final execution to some people it is still really good
The roar was one thing but the way he just totally melted everyone in just a few seconds made me say holy fk! Then the follow up creep on the castle to just incinerate everything and everyone not lucky enough to make it to the basement was the OH SH*T! moment.
This film does an excellent job of showing how powerful dragons can be. Every time a dragon appeared onscreen, I felt true fear. The only other film that did that for me was Dragonslayer.
@@s8theninjawarrior916 No hate, this is the GOOD kind of criticism. Dragons are often described as overpowered in both games and anime. This movie displayed that power perfectly in this post apocalyptic era.
I think if you look closely, the .50 cal is on top of the tank, and I reckon the bull dragon took out the tank first. The dragons in this movie are shown as being highly intelligent so the bull probably learnt over time to take out the humans "big guns" first.
Quinn mentioned to van zant a fort that got destroyed by the dragon after it backtracked to it when a previous convoy tried to kill it. Is this the spot they're at right now the one he was talking about?
Something weird about this clip is in the version I have when she asks him where the soldiers are he shows her a handful of ash and says "One pass... he flew over just once." As he drops the ash out of his hand then he says "the castle" a moment later.
I remember that part! You're right, I remember that exact line, it added so much weight to the scene(I watched it at the cinema). After some sleuthing I found this nugget: The DVD Grades: Picture B+/ Audio A (DTS), A- (DD)/ Bonus C "One odd note about the audio: it looked like the tracks might have lost a line. At about the 71:30 mark, the subtitles read “One pass - he flew over just once”, but neither the Dolby Digital nor DTS mixes included that dialogue. I never saw Fire prior to the DVD, so I don’t know if this represented an omission from the original release or if the subtitles added a non-existent line, but I thought I’d mention this weird discrepancy." Someone MUST inform Matthew McConaughey of this crime against Denton Van Zan!
@@Yiots the dragon's follow-up creep on the castle, incineration and then for just a moment it looks as if it sees them and makes eye contact before flying off was a great scene also.
Because he remembered what Quinn had said about another group of survivors that were tracked back to were they lived by a dragon and realized that the dragon that had just destroyed his convoy would do the same thing.
@@alexroberson4454 yeah he mentioned the dragon backtracking and attacking their base after he destroyed the previous convoy. Scary enough, I'm assuming the spot this convoy got attacked at was that base or fort that quinn mentioned got destroyed.
They potentially would,but you gotta remember that this guy AKA the bull is hyper aggressive,but nothing more than good old ASOIAF dragons can't handle,or a whole army of the targaryens,the bull could possibly be tamed but it would be extremely difficult considering how aggressive this guy is
Clearly one of the best scenes of all time, but if I were Van Zan, I would’ve traded my pump, action shotgun for a grenade launcher or a fat man from the Fallout universe.
They've been on the run for a long time now. I'm sure that tank has no rounds left and they're probably out of rockets too - not that they'd have much of a chance of hitting this Sneaky Boi anyway.
Something my dad pointed out when we watched this together: The female dragons always did drive-by flamethrower attacks. Just a quick burst of flame as they flew by. But the male? He stayed right where he was, made sure they were all soaked in flame.
It was too late. I mean watch how fast the dragon flies up on them. 2:51 Its already on top of them and you add the fact tanks aren't really good at shooting down flying targets. The tank wasn't going to help much.
So, entire army went into something and... stuck in there? What was that location supposed to be? The giant roadblock built by dragons? And how entire army managed to stuck in this dead end when they have the air support? Sir, there is one small road, lined up with giant piles of wrecked vehicles! Great, let's move in, we definitely will not stuck here!
"Take your positions" *procced to stand in a tight cluster out in the open* also, dragons are susceptible to exploding crossbow bolts, but not .50 cals or tank shells? I call bull.
The crossbow bolt detonated it's fire producing chemicals. The tank was out of shells or didn't have time to hit the dragon, and it's sheer size allowed it to survive .50 rounds.
The only reason Christian and his little village were alive is because the dragon respected him-- but as soon as he ( VAN ZAN ) sent all of the soldiers he ( ALPHA DRAGON ) had to go and destroy all of Christians work!!!!
If The Bull Dragon talked I imagine him sounding like Malefor from The Legend of Spyro. Spyro fighting this dragon would be awesome especially Spyro having to use his moves from Shadow Legacy like when he fights The Sorcerer the evil purple wyvern dragon. Spyro deserves his own movie based on the Original Spyro Series. I'm also a big fan of dragons and Spyro.
This situation is unrealistic. Why did the alpha Wyvern come alone instead of going with 2 or 3 females wyverns in the hunt? Why did the military dragon hunters went in a straight line instead of a circle position to surprise attack the alpha male Wyvern?
No a dragon cannot survive survive a hail of rifle and machine gun bullets. The army would've easily got fire retardant suits and wiped them out with Vulcan chain guns.
They mentioned nukes at the start so that inferred that nukes were utilized before the end of the world. And humanity still losses. Also why would dragons, mythological creatures who require special individuals to kill, due to their status; due to standard bullets and such?
Dragon scales repel most gunfire and they had no Vulcan guns as those are fitted to aircraft or anti aircraft functions They don't put them on tanks or troop transports

Some things were meant to be left alone.

Is it 20 years of anniversary of this movie already? Or is it 19 yet?
If I'm not mistaken they used a hybrid edition, I mean using both, CGI and Practical models

Man this movie is so fucking underrated
This movie is very short compared to Predator or Jaws Reign of Fire could have been better.
I dont think its underrated at all, I remembered this movie being the hype movie back then everyone in school would talk about it and brag about having an hd copy of this movie
The ashen bleak atmosphere throughout it especially. I don't believe this film helped itself being released straight before 28 Days Later.

I’ve been looking for an HD version of this clip for forever. Thank you for uploading this!
My absolute favorite dragon film. Need to watch it again
3:22 That roar from the male dragon after he torched the whole convoy was fkn intimidating 😨😳
The roar was one thing but the way he just totally melted everyone in just a few seconds made me say holy fk! Then the follow up creep on the castle to just incinerate everything and everyone not lucky enough to make it to the basement was the OH SH*T! moment.
bruh till this day the roar puts fear in my life
I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt that fear 😨
@@tyrantgregcagkaiju71
Even Spyro from Reignited Trilogy would be afraid of this dragon too.
This film does an excellent job of showing how powerful dragons can be. Every time a dragon appeared onscreen, I felt true fear. The only other film that did that for me was Dragonslayer.
Lmao facts😂😂😂the fear got deep in me

I like the heroic dragons like Spyro.
Fun fact: the guy at 2:05 is actually Geralt of Rivia's voice actor.
Didn't know Doug was an actor! Awesome
"Winds howling"
Cool
are u serious?
I cannot believe that they have never had a series to show all of the fights between the dragons and the Kentucky irregulars
2:50 The moment when death comes right at you.
I would love to see a remake or prequel to this movie
A prequel/midquel would be great, the (misleading) poster always shown how great London being burned down by dragons would've been.
No way.. you know better reboot sucks
@@loyaxethegreat68 Not all reboots suck most do but not all I think a prequel would do great imo.
@Social Injustice Goblin I agree most sequel suck but this could be a good one
Not even the 50 caliber scratched it. That beast hovered over them long enough for them to get a shot and it didn't even flinch!
Yea that's kinda why the movie is too far fetched

Amazing movie ..awesome CGI/VFX
Man, I thought those scene was so awesome as a kid and I still love it now as an adult.
My God, sometimes I forget that this movie was made 21 years ago, because the CGI and visual effects in this movie were so far ahead of its time.
15 seconds and everyone besides Van dam and one nameless guy are turned to ash...RIP
Quinn mentioned to van zant a fort that got destroyed by the dragon after it backtracked to it when a previous convoy tried to kill it. Is this the spot they're at right now the one he was talking about?
Think so, he said it was a group from Pembury

@@jadenmcmillan4306 The bull reminds me more of the Cannibal the dragon no Targaryen could tame.
Showing us when they finally found a weakness during the month of mist and then in the failing light dragons can’t focus at all
Clearly one of the best scenes of all time, but if I were Van Zan, I would’ve traded my pump, action shotgun for a grenade launcher or a fat man from the Fallout universe.
They managed to make strong winds sound scarier because it's of how the dragon moves unseen. Damn I miss how they made films this way
Always loved the etching at 1:00. London NO EXIT (6) 66.
3:09 When you forget something in the oven ...
I wanna know why the hell the main guy brought a shotgun to kill a dragon this massive
i think those were high-velocity slugs.
@@LuoSon312_G8 Better use slugs against Dragons.

@Covenant Dungeon Lord That was good, lmao
He should have a javelin rocket to kill or injured the alpha wyvern.
Good Morning Maria... Thanks Chris
The male Dragon’s roar sounds so cool
Something my dad pointed out when we watched this together: The female dragons always did drive-by flamethrower attacks. Just a quick burst of flame as they flew by. But the male? He stayed right where he was, made sure they were all soaked in flame.
but why would you hunt this thing at night tho??
They weren't intending to hunt him. They were just trying to get to London and got caught with their pants down.
No wonder ES 6 wont be released. Dragonborn heard this guy roar. 😊
Flying a C5 across the ocean to get to the heart where the dragons came from only on two engines
3:13, I'm sure they got inspiration from this scene for GOT. The scene where the dragon brings down the wall.
I got 2 questions: why didn't the tank fire? Was it out of rounds?
The world may never know
It was out of position. At 3:09 you see the barrel aimed in the wrong direction. Dragon purposely circled several times to throw them off.
@@FEARSWTOR nice spotting man
@@FEARSWTOR me

The way dragons breath fire looks more realistic than in game of thrones or house of the dragon.
Quinn warned em'.
That alpha respected Christian, because he is the one that unleashed him!!!!

This situation is unrealistic. Why did the alpha Wyvern come alone instead of going with 2 or 3 females wyverns in the hunt? Why did the military dragon hunters went in a straight line instead of a circle position to surprise attack the alpha male Wyvern?
Imagine looking for logic in a movie.
The male seemed to frighten females away from it's location, it doesn't hunt in a pack. They also did not anticipate the male being in Pembury.
The military guys couldn't maneuver because of all the derbies.
