What would Quetzlcoatl do?
The last time I was excited about a dragon movie I was eventually disappointed although I did get some interesting emails:


Than again it was the poster of dragons fucking up London and other cities that got my happy on last time:
Robert Forster though... I was starting to feel a little Q-The Winged Serpent nostalgia. Then I found out the director was responsible for more than one other dragon movie and figured that this was going to be a whole lot more fun than Reign of Fire.
After watching the trailer it seems I was right:
The fx are just dodgy enough to lend it some charm and the trailer edit is hilarious. Two minutes of dragons coiled around skyscrapers, attacking attack helicopters and also being ridden into battle and I can't help think the best part is when the guy collects the girl from the cafe. That and the elephant being spat out...
My Korean is a little rusty, but I think the guy at the beginning is saying "Christopher Lee protect us! Dragons!"
Could be the film of 2006... but I think it's only fair to once again refer you here for a military perspective on the whole dragon thing
"Dragons can be battled with swords, bowie knives, khukiries, guns, bolo nets, and bombs, but the most important weapon of any dragon-slayer is his intellect and flame retardant gel."Quite. So I wasn't about to get all excited about D-War when I first heard about it. Then I saw the posters and got a little more dragon happy...

I won't bother with the math, but I'm pretty sure the kinetic energy of a supersonic missile, warheaded or not, would be sufficient to dispatch a dragon.[Music: Transvision Vamp]

I's still be watching Lost if the big bad had turned out to be a dragon instead of a bit of smoke... then you could have had your cake and eaten it.
