    • Trivia
      According to an interview on IGN, the producers originally cast Liam Neeson in the role of Bowen, but at those time the studio didn't think audiences would buy him as an action hero. Ironically, Neeson starred Taken (2008), which relaunched his carrier as action hero from this movie ahead.
    • 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.

    A GREAT WATCH
    How very depressing that this only has an average of 6 stars. Even today, now that I'm in my 50s, this film continues to entertain with a heart warming message and some great scripting. If you have kids they will enjoy this as much as any other 'modern' film. They don't seem to make films for children like this any more. Just animations. So treasure the ones we do have. Connery is perfect as the Dragon and probably one of his best acting performances in my opinion. Quaid is a bit American but Postelthwait brings it all back down to gritty Earth with his bard performance. Drago heart is a film with... heart. A great family watch.
