Dragonheart is a 1996 Medieval Fantasy Adventure movie starring Dennis Quaid, David Thewlis, Pete Postlethwaite, Jason Isaacs, Dina Meyer, and the voice of Sean Connery as Draco.Quaid plays Bowen, a knight in 10th Century (Saxon) England who is one of the few left who adheres to the "Old Code" of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Bowen is the teacher and mentor to a young prince named Einon (Thewlis). During a peasant uprising, the King is killed in battle and the prince is injured. Bowen takes the boy to his mother, who strikes a deal with a dragon (Connery) to perform an ancient ritual, which will give the prince his life back. A few weeks later as Einon assumes his role as the new King, Bowen realizes that Einon is cruel and sadistic, more than the previous King. Disillusioned, Bowen believes that the dragonheart corrupted Einon and sets out to hunt down and kill every last dragon.After many 12 years of dragonslaying, Bowen encounters the one who performed the dragonheart ritual, though he doesn't recognize him. They fight to a standstill and decide to strike a partnership instead of killing each other. The dragon harasses towns and Bowen will pretend to kill him. The dragon doesn't have to worry about actual slayers and Bowen makes a living hustling the villagers.Bowen and the dragon slowly become friends and Bowen eventually names him Draco, after the dragon constellation. His time with Draco reminds him of how far he has strayed from the Old Code, and he realizes that Einon was always evil. Both Bowen and Draco believed their influence could change him but they were wrong. They then decide to encourage another peasant uprising to bring an end to Einon’s tyrannical rule. With Bowen as a leader, Draco as the muscle and the help of an aspiring poet, and Monk (Postlethwaite) and a plucky peasant (Meyer), they believe they can succeed. What no one expected was that Draco and Einon's fates are linked together through the dragonheart.The movie was one of the first after Jurassic Park to feature such extensive CGI, but more advanced in the aspect of CGI being used to portray a central character interacting with live actors. Draco was a living, breathing character of his own, and Sean Connery's voice gave him added weight.Critics were ho-hum about the film, but many moviegoers enjoyed it. Criticisms seemed to be more on the non-Draco production values, compared to epics like Braveheart, showing a few dozen people fighting a battle in a crowded forest didn't give quite the same spectacle (never mind the fact that armies in the dark ages tended to not be much larger than a few dozen men). Also, the humor was sometimes slapstick and at other times anachronistic, with the monk character Gilbert quoting from the 16th century King James Bible.The screenwriter, Charles Edward Pogue, published a novelization of the story which expanded somewhat on the characters, events, and world.Four years after the film's release, Universal Pictures released a Lighter and Softer direct-to-video sequel. After a 15-year hiatus, the first direct-to-video prequel to the original film was released. Since then, there have been another two prequels.

The Sociopath
 Dragonheart / int_19851b86
comment
The Sociopath: Einon. In the beginning, he comes across as a naive and boisterous but still well-meaning kid who loves his (albeit tyrannical) father and needs some guidance from a wise mentor to be an even better king. However, cracks begin to form when his reaction to seeing his dying father is to try and seize the crown. And once he becomes king, it becomes clear the whole naive kid thing was an act he put on for Bowen to learn swordsmanship, which he readily drops and begins a reign of terror, abusing his power to pursue his often sadistic whims without expressing an ounce of remorse or empathy for others.

Watch Out for That Tree!: During Bowen's fight with Draco, the knight ends up dragged under the dragon with a rope he himself threw with bolas. Draco goes through a forest on purpose, and naturally Bowen crashes into some trees much to the dragon's amusement, though the knight eventually manages to make the dragon crash-land by snaring the rope in a tree trunk.

Knight in Sour Armor: Bowen, who literally is a knight. And, ironically enough, Draco. The dragon has every reason to hate humanity for how they've hunted his kind down to near-extinction and is a pretty world-weary Death Seeker all around, but he still aims to do his part to help the very people that fear him and undo his mistakes that led to Einon's rise to power.

Kick the Dog: We know Brok is a bad guy because he insults Bowen early on for no reason, calling him a nursemaid. The novelization explains that Brok's animosity towards Bowen stems from a duel the two had that decided which of them would be Einon's mentor. King Freyne wanted Brok to mentor Einon while Aislinn chose Bowen, and Bowen emerged the victor. Einon also gets a lot of moments when it counts, including shooting Kara's father for sport. In the novelization, he later rapes Kara after she tries to kill him.

Butt-Monkey: Felton in the novelization. He's always picked on by Einon's men (and occasionally Einon himself), partly because he is poor at hunting (to the point that once he left a dead deer out the day before, claiming to shoot it that day, but didn't realize before telling everyone to look at his "kill" that the carcass had been half-eaten by a scavenger overnight). He's caught with his pants down when Draco attacks the village, his house is damaged in the attack, and Bowen steals his money by asking for it in advance and then pretending to have been eaten. He gets his hand cut off by a peasant. Later, during the battle, Gilbert shoots him in the rear with an arrow, giving a Bond One-Liner to add insult to injury. Immediately after, the girl he had been in bed with attacks him, knocks him out, and then steals some money and his jeweled cuff (which he had been wearing over his stump). In the end, he is stabbed from behind and killed by the peasants.

Heroism Won't Pay the Bills: The idealistic Brother Gilbert points out that a proper hero should not accept payment, to which Bowen sensibly points out that honor will not put food in his belly nor shoe his horse. The dickish Lord Felton still uses it as a pretense to avoid paying Bowen for his service.

This Is My Name on Foreign: Kinda. Draco even replies that Bowen is just calling him "Dragon" in a different tongue instead of his own, but accepts the name because he finds an honor to be named after the constellation. There's also the fact that his actual name is unpronounceable by humans.

Deceptive Disciple: Einon, to Bowen. Bowen fully believed that he had trained Einon to value the Old Code so that he'd be honorable, a better king than his father. All along, Einon only pretended to go along with it, in reality just wanting to learn how to fight. When he reveals his true self, it turns out he's just as cruel as his father.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Dragonheart / int_5663a595
comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: Compared to the novelization, the film has many additions and omissions that create many plot holes: The reason for the animosity between Bowen and Brok is left unanswered. In the book, the reason is that a duel between them was held in the past to see which of them would be Einon's mentor and Bowen won. The film exposes Einon as a villain to the audience early on when he takes his father's crown and tells him to die, making Bowen look stupid for blaming Draco's heart for Einon's "corruption." It makes sense in the book since Einon doesn't tell Freyne to die and jerks away with the crown, and it's only after he's revived by Draco that Einon reveals his true nature by laying waste to the peasant village and rounding up rebels for his quarry the following day. The book explains that King Freyne was a dragonslayer who forced Aislinn into a loveless marriage as he only wanted her for her beauty, after which he slaughtered her dragon-worshipping people, leaving her unable to protect her son from his father's cruelty or from becoming just like him. Aislinn reveals all of this during the scene in Draco's cave and when she helps Kara escape the castle. In the film, Bowen's character arc of an honorable knight turned dragonslayer and going back to a knight of the Old Code is questionable at best. The book details that Draco uses the cons with Bowen as a way to pick at Bowen's conscience as he sees the peasants suffer under Einon's rule until they and Kara arrive at the reeking swamp village. This is the point where Bowen is at the end of his rope, he can no longer justify conning the king's minions, and he has to face the reality of Einon's oppression as Kara previously urged him to do so; a plot point nonexistent in the film. When Kara stabs Einon in the shoulder, Draco's shoulder glows in response. However, when Einon falls into the cistern at the end of the film, Draco doesn't respond to it. The book rectifies this by having Draco's entire body glowing as he writhes in pain. In the book, the swamp village residents are not only starving but so poor that they offer Bowen bits of metal and kitchen utensils as payment for his services. By adding a bunch of pigs to the scene, the film makes the swamp people look like idiots as they already have enough meat to feed themselves. On top of that, when the con is exposed, the villagers appear to turn cannibal when they go after Bowen, Kara, and Gilbert. The book explains that the villagers go after them because of being tricked out of making a meal out of Draco. In the film, Gilbert's mule Merlin is last seen before Bowen and Draco's fight. In the book, Merlin is with Gilbert when he appears at the swamp village and later accompanies the group to Avalon and Kara's village. Bowen appears wearing the headband of Kara's father on his arm near the end of the film without explanation, but the book shows Kara giving it to Bowen as her "lady's favor" in the cistern when they go to save Draco from Einon.

When Felton brings up how his father died in the same manner, it finally seems to get through to him. At least until Draco attacking changes the equation.

Powering Villain Realization: A peasant uprising slays the king, and leaves his only son and heir, Prince Einon, mortally wounded. A reclusive dragon agrees to save the prince's life by donating a piece of his heart, which restores the prince to health, and also leaves him deathless, so long as the dragon lives. When Einon turns out to be a cruel and malicious ruler, Knight Errant Bowen partners with the dragon to end Einon's rule. However, no matter how many times Bowen defeats him or leaves him to an unsurvivable fate, Einon cannot die, and returns for more. The dragon beseeches Bowen to slay him instead, as Einon's heart will fail when the dragon's heart stops beating.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Dragonheart / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The film's story wouldn't have happened if the heroes hadn't all collectively broken it. Bowen and Queen Aislinn take the mortally-wounded Einon to Draco to see if the dragon can save his life, and Draco himself gives half his heart to Einon despite sensing evil in the boy. Saving the prince only paves the way for a regime that's even more tyrannical than the last. Bowen doesn't want to kill Draco because he's the last of his kind. But whose fault is that, dragonslayer? Not to mention he was only killing dragons in the first place to kill Draco, thinking that it was his heart transplant that made Einon evil. Turns out Einon was a massive prick to begin with and parroted the teachings of the Old Code just to satisfy Bowen and be taught how to fight. Gilbert's well-aimed arrow to Einon's heart not only incapacitates Draco long enough for him to be captured, but makes Einon realize that if Draco dies, he dies, and causes him to race back to the castle to stop the dragon slayers before they can finish the job. To be fair, Draco didn't tell them the secret of what giving half his heart meant in making Einon effectively immortal.

In the film, Merlin and what's left of Sir Eglamore are never seen or mentioned again after the scene where Draco and Bowen fight to a stalemate. In the novelization, after the fight, Gilbert wakes up the next morning and finds the arm. He mistakes it for belonging to Bowen and when Gilbert reappears at the swamp village, he tells Bowen about burying the arm in the glade beneath a cross with Bowen's name on it. Merlin is with Gilbert at the swamp village, taken to Avalon with him, Bowen, and Kara, and then Kara's village afterward.

Recycled Trailer Music: Randy Edelman's main theme for the film has been recycled countless times in other movie trailers. If you don't recognize it right away, go to about 2:28 on that video. If you still don't recognize it, you probably haven't been to a movie theatre since 1996. It is frequently used for montages at the Academy Awards, possibly because the score was not even nominated the year the movie came out. In fact, Edelman's theme is also featured in the film's sequel and later prequels.

Fate Worse than Death
 Dragonheart / int_b1346878
comment
Fate Worse than Death: Einon is a big fan of this trope. In his words, "Death should be a release, not a punishment." It was something Bowen taught him, but he twisted it. Kara throws it at him in one scene: "In your kingdom, Einon, there are fates worse than death!" "I'll think one up for you." He later decides to make her his bride, which may be the fate he intended. Draco considers his soul fading into nothingness — a fate that awaits him if he is unable to redeem himself — to be one.

comment
Hard Truth Aesop: Bowen became Einon's mentor with the intention of turning a young kid from a corrupt royal family into someone better and more merciful. When Einon turns to be a cruel king he blamed the dragonheart ritual for undoing all his efforts. Draco reveals late in the story that when he performed the ritual he could feel the evil already within Einon and hoped the new life would change him. Both came to acknowledge that Einon became what he is regardless of their efforts, and all the love and compassion they gave was not enough to prevent him from becoming what he was. It was finally acknowledging that Einon's actions are his own that they both resolve to stop him.

Unwanted Rescue: Queen Aislinn helps Kara escape from the castle rather than be forced to marry Einon. Kara initially doesn't want this rescue — not because she doesn't want to escape, but because she doesn't want to accept help from the woman who gave birth to the monster. Aislinn wins her compliance by saying, "I won't let you suffer the same fate as me."

Lighter and Softer: Compared to the Darker and Edgier novelization based on the original screenplay, the film was made to gear towards families. Executive Meddling and Creative Differences caused the moments of somewhat graphic violence in the book to be lessened or removed completely, and more wisecracks and moments of slapstick to be added.

Dragons Versus Knights: Zigzagged. Sir Bowen swears vengeance on all dragons after Draco saves his master Prince Einon's life by gifting him half his heart, only for now-King Einon to turn into a tyrant. Bowen spends the next several years as a professional dragon hunter, but after stalemating against Draco, now the last dragon, partners with Draco to scam villages out of dragon bounties and in the third act, to lead a peasant uprising against Einon. Ultimately he's forced to slay Draco in order to kill Einon.

Sadly, when Einon ascends the throne, he becomes more tyrannical than his father. And because he has a piece of dragon heart in him, Einon becomes almost deathless and nearly invincible. Only a Heroic Sacrifice by the dragon that donated the heart piece can put Einon to rest forever.

The Gift

The Gift: Parodied with Brother Gilbert, who picks up a bow and arrow pretty quickly. His first and second shots in his life, after some vague instructions, are both deadly shots.

Covered in Mud: Kara's villagers, in addition to throwing fruits/vegetables at her, throw mud. Bowen taunts her about the mud, and she responds by smearing a smashed watermelon in his face.

Offered the Crown: In both the ending narration and the novelization of the film, it's heavily implied that Bowen and Kara are named King and Queen after Einon's death.

Exact Words: "Death should be a release, not a punishment." Einon later uses this to justify killing Kara's father, since she asks the King to release him.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Bowen saves Kara's father from being blinded early in the movie... only for Einon to recapture him later and finish the job anyway. Because really, why wouldn't he?

Martial Pacifist
 Dragonheart / int_ed46da54
comment
Martial Pacifist: What Brother Gilbert turns into when he proves to be a quick study with the bow — rather than aim to kill, he tries to incapacitate his targets. His only exception, complete with quoting Thou Shalt Not Kill while lining up the shot in a moment of conflict, is loosing an arrow at King Einon, though he remains this due to Einon's immortality clause kicking in.

A Dog Named "Dog"
 Dragonheart / int_efd11fe3
comment
A Dog Named "Dog": "Draco" is Latin (or as Bowen calls it, the "scholar's tongue") for "dragon". This is because he refuses to tell his real name and says humans can't pronounce it anyway, and Bowen comes up with "Draco" as a simple nickname. Lampshaded by Draco:

Redemption Equals Death
 Dragonheart / int_f1492605
comment
Redemption Equals Death: According to Draco, a dragon must earn his place in the Dragons' Heaven. If they don't, then in Draco's own words, "our spirit disappears, as if we never were." By sharing his heart with Einon, he loses his place in the Heavens. But by sacrificing his life to stop Einon, he earns his place back, and becomes the brightest star in the Dragons' Heaven.

And, ironically enough, Draco. The dragon has every reason to hate humanity for how they've hunted his kind down to near-extinction and is a pretty world-weary Death Seeker all around, but he still aims to do his part to help the very people that fear him and undo his mistakes that led to Einon's rise to power.
