Trivia

This is the second direct-to-video Dragonheart sequel, following 2015's Dragonheart 3, making it officially a franchise nobody asked for but Patrick Stewart said yes to anyway.

Cultural

The film's Norwegian director Patrik Syversen mostly worked in horror before this, which explains the surprisingly grim opening with King Gareth's death.

My head says not to watch it because it'll be shit but my heart says watch it because *DRAGONS*

@michaelmcparland3053 95

I've found parts of all of them entertaining. The first one is still the best. But please, if you're going to keep making these, keep the soundtrack. That has been the one great thing in all of them.

@shanemerrigan1994 49

Most of the budget probably went into getting Patrick Stewart.
