This is a very good movie, much underrated. The acting is superb, the action and this version of the (genre), dragons is believable. It even has the military element which is so attractive to audiences (Avatar). Matthew is incredible, but everyone is good.
Logical History It’s a dragon, the whole point of the scene is to show, despite his insane bravery and heroism, that their situation is hopeless. If he can’t kill the dragon after a scene like that, how can Quinn?
2:55 ❤ i like this part. I feel like the dragon almost sort of recognizes quinn. Like its a personal moment between them for a brief second. Quinn facing his moms killer ❤
Also Impress me when saw this at the cinema was the explosion part and boom sound effects. Christopher Nolan could have dealt with the team that created all the fire effects for Oppenheimer. The trinity bomb effects were rubbish
Just sad that Van Zan's Death was useless. Wish that they let him at least hit the dragon with the axe, injuring him, maybe taking one of his eyes, so that it wouldn't have been able to perfectly spot quinn, who would've then been able to kill it..that way the dragon would've died thanks to their common effort...the way the movie played this scene, Van Zan only served as a last meal for the dragon.
He injured it with the arrow. Part of the dragon’s face and neck was damaged and on fire when the arrow exploded. That said, seeing the axe driven into its eye would’ve been cool to see.
i love the science of these dragons they spray liquid hydrogen and another chemical agent for fire brilliant! and it would have more range than breathing it
Ever since this movie, it has been the model for dragon's breath. Pause and slow down any game of thrones episode when the dragons are big and you will see 2 spray glands in its mouth when it breaths fire.
I love the way McConaughey yells that. His death is already super badass, but just the way be says that adds to it. He is running TOWARDS this fight and not away from it, and he wants the dragon to get closer.
In that situation, survival is not priority because it's impossible, stuck in a high building with no way to get off quickly against a fire breathing dragon able to burn you to crisp easily without you ever getting the distance away to dodge the blast... In that moment you either turn in hopes somehow you survive or you accept the inevitable and go out like a legend. To be accurate.. Either way his chances were slim, so he bet on the bolder task.
Matthew's death scene here still rates as one of the most unintentionally hilarious deaths in action movie history...only thing that could have made it better was if he missed the dragon entirely and just fell. It's just sooooo over the top.
Vance B no, it was better that he died attempting a courageous leap of faith to at least wound the dragon with an axe to its head or mouth. Only thing OTT was that huge parkour style leap, though the edit made it look awesome.
okay, now I've heard of this movie, I have a top 3 favorite movie dragons: 3: This dragon (or any other dragon in the movie) 2: The Hungarian Horntail 1: Smaug
TheMarionick you obviously have never heard of the Balerion “the black dread“ from asoiaf series absolutely beast hopefully we’ll se him in the game of thrones prequel series with vhagar and meraxes
To everyone who is debating on whether these beats are dragons or wyverns, these are dragons. It was just that they took a more realistic approach because in reality 6 limbs of a typical depiction of a dragon isn't that plausible since 6 limbs are more for insects while not for reptiles. They also made these dragons produce flammable liquid as opposed to breathing fire because of them trying to have a more realistic approach to these creatures. The bull that they killed was thought to be the only one but only because they never saw one. I am pretty sure they killed the only bull but only in their own region. Other regions may have their own bulls with their own territory's .
That would've been cool as hell to see. The next movie could've been about them hunting more bulls until they come across one even bigger than the first! dun dun dun.
This was such a great action film, but I like others, was very disappointed with the Mathew went out. I mean, the build up was so amazingly epic and than Chomp! Lol
I'm pretty sure it was not meant to be taken this way but the tribal tattoos grabbing the ax and charging into death with ax in hand is definitely a Nordic Viking thing to do
Michael Jordan would of been envious of the air van zant got trying to take down that dragon what bad ass scene I’d dragons ever take over a m going out the same way with this epic move
don't really see the need..the male dragon was the only one capable of fertilizing the eggs..without him the dragons couldn't reproduce like locusts anymore...just a matter of a few months to a year before they'd all die of starvation/ eat each other, then disappear, since they've been made unable to reprocude. the moment quinn killed the male dragon, humanity had won. now it's just a matter of waiting and then rebuilding. eath would've gone back to the way it was before the dragons within a few decades to a century ( of course it'd take a lot for humans to go back to being billions, and it's not clear how much of the earth's flora and terrestrial fauna are left, but the sea should still be full of life..if anything it should be full of it, since humans haven't been fishing for years).
@@kuroroluxifer8321 Be that as it may, it's impossible for an entire species to have only one male in existence. Even for a fantastical mythical creature, its just impossible. It's only a matter of when another male will come about, with now offspring not being cannibalised, or they may change gender or reproduce asexually as reptiles of today can do. In some species it doesn't even have to take hundreds of years to aquire this trait. A lizard born female can still be able to lay a fertilised egg if the environment forces it. So a sequel can still be done, its just whether the dragons themselves have changed as a result.
I just wish he hadn't gone out like that. It was amazing when he was flying through the air, roaring. Then nothing. He's just eaten. Done. It was the worst pay off and it made you feel like shit for rooting for the guy. He was such a bad ass, and he just goes out like nothing. I'm okay with him dying, but some kind of mid-air battle where he's clinging to the dragon and hacking at it with his ax, that would have been better.
krowanders I know right? EXACTLY!!!To this day, for me, it felt like a "Blooper" that he just died like that THEN NOTHING HAPPEND! Really! Like you said, I'd though he would do something with an axe or SOMETHING!
The thing with the ending, I doubt that male was the only male of an entire species, that has lived for millions of years. It's bound to have had sons in its life. I think the Dragons will return when Earth is full of life again, and a new male will take its place.
They killed the male, and there is only one male dragon, killing the male basically just caused a very slow extinction of the dragons, now all they can do is outlast them.
He's definetely in Valhalla!
One of the best deaths in movie history IMHO
Oh, not one of the best. THE best.
@Robert Smith best parkour jump gap ever at 00:37-00:38. Would make a great advertisement for RedBull gives you wings lol
Such symbolism when he grab the axe. He has change! Thanks to a certain someone. Beautiful film!
This is a Real DRAGON movie
Mrmoldremoval the only good dragon movie!!! Not even Eragon could match this!!!
@@canadavatar nope
ever heard of dragonheart?
Yeah it was well done. I remember first seeing this in Thailand when it was released in 2002... dubbed into Thai of course. 🙂
😂😂😂😂

Absolutely
Agree! Van Zan is amazing and Matthew really did a stellar performance. One of his own favourite characters to play.
que película, 🎞️ más mediocre. con razón, fue un fracaso.
"Alright, alright, alright."
RIP Mathew. Thank you for your service.
Batman vs Smaug
At least his death was in character, he didn’t turn and run as he never has through the movie and was always up for a head on challenge
His axe should have blinded one eye on the dragon, creating a blind spot which was exploited. That would have been a better story.
Logical History It’s a dragon, the whole point of the scene is to show, despite his insane bravery and heroism, that their situation is hopeless. If he can’t kill the dragon after a scene like that, how can Quinn?
The dragon did bend its head down over the impact of the axe.
To me this was Matthew McConaughety's best performance!
I saw this movie in Cinemas as a kid and didnt even know it was him😂looks very different here
@@amigosXcorrespondenc same here! I rented this movie as a kid so many times and just noticed watching it almost 20 years later
You should watch True Detectives, I think McConaughey tops this on there
I couldn't believe it was him
Matthew nearly stalked the filmmaker to get this role. He nailed it
"Run like the wind baby!" 😎🤘
😂
Fucking awesome
holy crap I didn't know it was Matthew McConaughey until now
Same, I had no idea.
Yeah it's never in a Mathew McConaughey compilation
2:55 ❤ i like this part. I feel like the dragon almost sort of recognizes quinn. Like its a personal moment between them for a brief second. Quinn facing his moms killer ❤
Also Impress me when saw this at the cinema was the explosion part and boom sound effects. Christopher Nolan could have dealt with the team that created all the fire effects for Oppenheimer. The trinity bomb effects were rubbish
"He *always* knew you could do it."
When Alex told Quinn that Van Zam always believed in him just puts a smile on my face
0:35 its silly but damn is it awesome. I guess he thought " fuck it I'll just try to axe it in the face." 😂
He was gone anyway, might as well go out like a real warrior.
Such an original concept. Great fun movie.
por favor, vean películas. interesantes acaso, sos un niño. ?😂😂😂😂
The Dragons in this movie... 😬
One of my favorites 😎👍🏻
One of the best dragon movies

He injured it with the arrow. Part of the dragon’s face and neck was damaged and on fire when the arrow exploded. That said, seeing the axe driven into its eye would’ve been cool to see.
It was his plan all along, he sacrificed himself to get the dragon to bite. He used himself as bait to ensure the survival of the human species
He managed to give Quinn the will to fight. That’s enough at times
las películas, de dragones son. estúpidas porque, ven semejante basura. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
It would have been even better if the axe stuck to the dragons face.
Yeah, I agree. It would've given his death some meaning. I thought that he was going to at least wound the dragon when I saw him jump in the trailer.
i love the science of these dragons they spray liquid hydrogen and another chemical agent for fire brilliant! and it would have more range than breathing it
Ever since this movie, it has been the model for dragon's breath. Pause and slow down any game of thrones episode when the dragons are big and you will see 2 spray glands in its mouth when it breaths fire.
You gotta give it to us humans our ability to face down bigger things than us with small chances of success is impressive.
after watching Danny's dragon die in Game of Thrones, I had to come watch this dragon die to help cheer me up XD
COME ON, BIG BOY!
I love the way McConaughey yells that. His death is already super badass, but just the way be says that adds to it. He is running TOWARDS this fight and not away from it, and he wants the dragon to get closer.
I can read animal body language and the dragon in his way saying he remembers quin when he killed his mom and left him the only surviver.
Being a badass is not a way to survive dragons
In that situation, survival is not priority because it's impossible, stuck in a high building with no way to get off quickly against a fire breathing dragon able to burn you to crisp easily without you ever getting the distance away to dodge the blast... In that moment you either turn in hopes somehow you survive or you accept the inevitable and go out like a legend.
To be accurate.. Either way his chances were slim, so he bet on the bolder task.
Him being a badass saved everyone else though.
"From Hell's heart I stab at thee!"
amazing van zan :)
One ticket to Sovngarde please!

just a Thank You.
Oh I'll hide in ap WELL
Where did all the other dragons go then? 💔💝📥
I think it was the only male so I guess the other ones just died off
The male has been eating the other ones so they avoid him like the plague.
Can’t live without him. Just disperse and wither.
Without a male to breed, they either got slain, ate each other, or died of old age.
According to the wiki they all tot extinct several months later.

crunchpodx That's not a twist. It's just poor writing.
It's a fucking dragon, any human goes head to head with a dragon with get the same result, it was very realistic not poor writing.
Ricardo Cisneros It was a /DRAGON/. Nothing about this was realistic.
krowanders I know right? EXACTLY!!!To this day, for me, it felt like a "Blooper" that he just died like that THEN NOTHING HAPPEND! Really! Like you said, I'd though he would do something with an axe or SOMETHING!
Now I have to go play Skyrim again! Dovahkin :)
Try monster hunter, look for Rathalos, mega similar vibe to this big gecko here :)
Another way of killing the dragon would be MM kamikaze with live grenades
The thing with the ending, I doubt that male was the only male of an entire species, that has lived for millions of years. It's bound to have had sons in its life. I think the Dragons will return when Earth is full of life again, and a new male will take its place.
I think that was just the only bull male in the region but maybe 1 out many others across other countries.
