CineSight Comments & Bloopers

While DRAGONHEART is no masterpiece, it is a fun and light-hearted adventure. Perhaps learning from Kevin Costner's disastrous attempts at an English accent, Quaid and Meyer don't even worry about trying. The big coup in the movie is having Connery play the voice of the dragon (which does take a few moments to get used to). His character benefits greatly from all the technical advances made with JURASSIC PARK. In fact, the producers touted Draco as the first major CGI character with a speaking park in any movie. Apart from the film itself, which is a fairly clean transfer, the greatest highlight of this disk is the behind-the-scenes documentary. Other than that, the features are a little spase and primitive.

* Young Einon's braces can be seen as he screams while trying to help his father (Obviously royalty get better dental care than the peasants, even in a fantasy.

* The dragon tooth Bowen holds keeps changing shape.

* During the archery scene, the feathers on Brother Gilbert's bow change.

* One of Avalon's tombstones wobbles (Perhaps King Arthur was turning over in his grave at the thought of being played by the voice of John Gielgud - at least it wasn't Kevin Costner).
