To Kill a Dragon (Rus., Убить Дракона, Ubit' Drakona ) is a 1988 Soviet / German film - the last one directed by Mark Zakharow. The film is based on a play The Dragon by a famous Soviet playwright Eugeny Schwartz, but the script for the film was heavily edited by another famous Soviet playwright Grigoriy Gorin. It was also a rare case of Soviet / West Germany coproduction.In essence, the film retells a classic story about a heroic knight (here called Lancelot) saving a fair maiden (Elsa) from being sacrificed to the dragon. However, here the story goes further, exploring how the people live under the Dragon's oppressive rule, the consequences of the Dragon being slain, and the question about how freedom can be truly obtained.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Anachronism Stew | |

Anachronism Stew: The setting is medieval, medieval buildings and mostly medieval clothing. However a few characters wear modern glasses, and the prison is brightly lit with electric lights and made out of industrial grating. | |

| To Kill a Dragon / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Lancelot slays the Dragon, then deposes the usurping Burgomaster, liberates those who were helping him, saves Elsa and finally becomes the ruler, thus giving him a chance to change people for the better. However it is shown that most adults have been corrupted beyond repair by the Dragon. Children seem to be the only one who can get their freedom back, and even this is an uphill battle. And this all presupposes that Lancelot doesn't become a tyrant himself. | |

And Now You Must Marry Me: The starting point is that Elsa is being forcibly married to the Dragon (which would result in her death). When the Dragon is defeated, the Burgomaster becomes a ruler and wants to forcibly marry Elsa himself. | |

BFS: Lancelot is given a huge two-handed sword by the armorers. Who were keeping it underneath a pile of hay, apparently. | |

Ass Shove: Done to Friedrichsen with a fork, however it is ambiguous whether or not this was a Groin Attack. | |
