Many of us remember Dragonheart fondly. A world where dragons and humans coexisted in a realm of magic and adventure. However many people didn't realize the first film spawned an entire series. So let's explore the highs and fiery lows of this beloved fantasy franchise.
Thanks for the support!

• The Making-of DragonHe...
Loved the original Dragonheart film. Pretty cool to see actual intelligent dragons than the usual more animalistic ones ya often get in entertainment.
That's true! I think fantasy books as a whole do a good job of humanizing them there have been a handful of movies were they are animalistic. The one that comes to mind for me is Reign of Fire, but I could be totally missing one. Which are you thinking of?
@exitsexamined, Likely all the live action D&D films and the How To Train Your Dragon animated films.
I liked the concept of Reign of Fire, but the poster I saw back then showing a full on war between modern humans and dragons lied to me lol.
I agree about book dragons. The dragons in Dragonlance were pretty good.
This movie was my life as a kid, good memories. Can't believe I slept on the 2nd one, looks like meme gold. Great video as always!
The original movie was one of my first obsessions as a child! My parents rented it every weekend for months. It's more than overdue for a rewatch, thanks for the reminder!
If they're doing a big budget reboot I hope they do a good job with it, the original story is such a good and surprisingly touching one. It could also work as a quality miniseries or animated adaption, maybe with a DnD campaign tie in.
Also the sequels look wild, I'm almost certain I saw 2 on Sci-fi Network back in the day
Haha, glad to give you a reminder! It was a fun excuse to go through them all for this video. A DnD tie in is such a cool idea, kind of like a more grounded version of Dragonlance?
Whoa if I knew they played these on Sci-Fi Network I would have watched it way more haha
Oh my gosh I remember the first movie!
haha glad to remind you! Did you ever watch any of the sequels?
The original's score is a large reason it still sticks with me.
The score was surprisingly good, it's even been used in the Olympics I think!
So much so that a part of the theme was used in multiple movie trailers, including Disney's Mulan and Patch Adams.
I'm happy you brought up Dragon's Dogma, I had noticed the similarity myself but I haven't seen enough people talk about it
If this was a different channel I would do a hour long deep dive on the similarities and differences haha
This was quite informative. I was kinda too cowardly to try to watch all the later DragonHeart movies cuz I was afraid of being disappointed even tho I loved the 2nd one as a kid but grew to recognize later how awkward it was. I may have to give Vengeance a chance now.
As far as medieval fantasy genre stuff goes, I would love to hear your thoughts on Dragon Goes Househunting or Dragon Drive.
Hey glad you enjoyed! I would say go for watching the other ones, they aren't that bad! Dragon goes househunting or Dragon Drive sound interesting! How do you think they compare to Dragonheart?
@@exitsexaminedDragon Goes Househunting feels like the author recaptured the timid Drake from DragonHeart 2 and put him in a much bigger world.
Dragon Drive feels like a great spin on a tamable dragon world similar to How To Train Your Dragon (The HTTYD books specifically, since the manga came out in a similar timeframe)
Bowen: I killed the last of your kind, let's team up.
Draco: Ok!
Me: wut?
You know when you put it like that, it really doesn't make sense haha
Amusingly, its actually the other way around and is pretty smart:
Draco: We could go on fighting and I kill you and wait around for the next would-be dragonslayer trying to make a name for themselves or you kill me and are out of a job cause I AM THE LAST ONE and since nether of us wants to die, wanna keep going or here my alternative?
Bowen gets up tired and sore
Bowen: whats the alternative?
@@jakobthedragonboy But in the end, the Dragon dies anyway as he was... killing people in a war of humans he should stay away from. Never meddle in human affairs.
Well now I'm going to have to watch this video again to reinstate my original hit and feed the algorithm.
Not complaining 😊
Haha hey thanks so much! Honored you'd want to listen to blab on about Dragonheart twice! Next week will be something new, I promise!
I owned a copy of the Activity Center PC game years before I ever saw the actual movie! There's sooo much nostalgia associated with that game. It had a rudimentary 3D maze set in a haunted forest that always terrified me 😂 I'd love to find a way to play it again; it really sucks that a lot of media from that era gets lost because it can't be played on newer machines.
Whoa, you actually played it? I was thinking it might have been a fever dream. If you find a way to play it again please let me know, I had no idea how to even get started with it haha
I would love to see more Dragonheart. Maybe a book series or comics?
There is a comic! I mentioned it in the vid, or do you mean even more comics?
I like that they’re rebooting it, but the very first will always hold that special place in my heart
I've got to watch the first Dragonheart movie one day! I ADORE dragons, and medieval inspired stories. My love for dragons all started with PBS show Dragon Tales, but the song Puff The Magic Dragon [it's a really sad song that makes me think of the Velveteen Rabbit] also helped! I'm currently working on a fantasy series about a fox prince who had to go into hiding because of his family's evil advisor and has to go through many quests and adventures before he can return to the throne, and I'd like some advice.
Hey that book series sounds really cool! If you ever finish it let me know, maybe I'll give it a shout on the channel!
@@exitsexamined Well, I'm still stuck on early drafts for the first book. I cannot reveal much yet because I don't want some of my ideas to get stolen, but I could really use some advice to write a good fantasy series. The first book is where the fox first discovers he is a prince during a perilous adventure.
I remember watching Dragonheart: New Beginnings at a friends when it first came out. Even though I was a kid I thought it was cheesy garbage and it was the first time I noticed special effects could look fake.
You know I felt the same way, when I was younger I never even thought about special effects, but it is probably hard to ignore in the second one haha
I had bought the 5 movie collection at Walmart last month. Only just to watch the 1st one I'll probably get around to the others.
Oh that's so cool they sell it at walmart! What's the box cover like? I'd be curious if they have art that encompasses the entire series
@@exitsexamined just drago on the cover headshot that's all. I was mostly looking for the 4K Blu-ray but they had very few copies at my Walmart
I was obsessed with Dragonheart and had the medieval creativity center cdrom. It was a great little game that requires critical thinking and puzzle solving skills
I remember renting the original from blockbuster in the early 2000s when I had very young! Anything within dragon on a he cover was good enough for me, B-movies included 😂
i saw the second as a 10 year old on vhs before seeing any of the others... it was alright
I remember seeing the first movie. Always my favorite.
The first movie slaps, and the sequels don't exist.
Sean Connery the voice of Draco from Dragonheart will be missed, but don't be sad because he just went...
To the stars RUclips. To the stars.

They made games?!
Are Dragonheart 3, 4 and Vengeance prequels? .-.
Hey, wow I realize now I didn't explicitly mention that in the video! Yes they are!
@@exitsexaminedI never thought they were

Dragon dogma is a evil dragon
That's true, it's not 100$ not a one to one, DD also focuses on reincarnation but the similarities are there
The best Dragon film ever
With Dragonslayer!;)🩷❤️🔥🐍🐉
Thank you!
The sequels are awful, but the second and fifth were funny;)
Hey my pleasure! Cool to find other people that love the series! What did you think of the third and fourth ones?
@@exitsexamined the third was more daje and epic than the second, the forte is a good sequel;)
I want to see a Dragon with the voice of Liam Neeson;)
I hope he out the voice tone like The Phantom Menace, as a good mentor and friend;)
