  • Excellent film with gobsmacking vfx. Pairs nicely with Jurassic Park for a monster double bill.

  • why cant dragon movies now-an-days be like this instead of all this cgi bullshit

  • skyrim

  • :29 made me laugh lol

  • I heard on Yahoo that a fantasy novel will be coming out this year , with a girl lead whose black.

    Anyone hear know anything about it?

  • Wish I could just find parts of the movie without all this bullshit music overlay.

    

  • lol going on a fantasy movie binge, anxiously waiting for Skyrim

  • @KnowImillian

    It's from 1981. No CGI or any such.

    It's about the era of the end of an earlier era of our world. The magic and the mystery...

    "The age of sorcerers and dragons is ending. I shall not miss it."

  • I can't believe I haven't seen this...

  • This movie was an intoxicating watch when I was a kid. I still love it today.

  • Reign of fire!!!! BEST

  • Dynamation vs. CG,I think the Dynamation was very kick ass! Ray Harry hausen I'm sure is pretty proud,with Tippet's Dragon!

  • not bad

  • esp:

    donde verla?? donde descargarla?? ... aaaa

    eng:

    Where to View? How to download? ... aaa

  • The more an effect is based in reality...the more believable it looks...practical effects, to this day, still blew most CG's fests to pieces...

  • It's a shame that this movie had an anti-climax

  • @horaciosi How so?

    Just curious of your reason.

  • @Pynaegan SPOLERS!!! After the protagonist revives his dead mentor, they prepare to "fight" the dragon. The mentor in on a cliff and the protagonist has to destroy a talisman that will make his mentor explode and kill the dragon. The dragon eventually captures the mentor and the protagonist destroys the talisman, making explode his mentor and killing the dragon. No big fight, no epic climax, just that. DX<

    Sorry for my shitty english.

  • @horaciosi "Sorry for my shitty english"

    No apologies necessary. Actually what you just described "was" the climactic ending. There was no other way to kill the dragon. The old wizard knew this, it was his over all plan to die killing the dragon in the process. Remember the beginning when the wizard describes the dragons constant pain. For the wizard it was a quest to put the dragon out of it's misery.The glaive forged to kill the wyrm would have failed in the hands of a capable warrior.

  • narutooooooooooooooooooo shippuden

  • This movie looks better in this video than it has ever looked to me before. Why is that? Is it the music? The widescreen which I've never seen Dragonslayer on? Whatever it is..this music video makes me wanna watch Dragonslayer again...RIGHT NOW!

  • I'm surprised they haven't remade this film yet.I think it would be nice to see a less nerdy main character.Still the dragon looked amazing even now.

  • @cloudvol7

    A "less nerdy" main character would defeat the point. Galen isn't a warrior, he's not even a proper sorcerer...he's a dreamer with more guts than common sense, the embodiment of every d&d nerd that ever imagined themselves capable of heroism:p

  • this was the best made dragon movie ever, EPIC! way beyond its time when it was made.

  • Not bad.

  • Is this movie actually good? Or is it stereotypical 80's cheeseball fantasy?

  • So loved this movie back in the early 80's. I was heavily into D&D back then. I still love Dragons to this day and have a collection here at the house.

  • Meanest Dragon ever..... the 80's rocked it!

  • too bad the spear was only enchanted to +1

  • Best Dragon movie ever made..agreed. Pretty good story too

  • @TheLeesmusic Agreed... so far so true...

  • Great movie. The plot and dialoge could have been better though

  • @destroyer8604 True, there's always room for improvement. I think the cheesy aspects of it makes it more popular.

  • Watched this as a kid.

    What has always kept this movie under the radar is the main character is played by a dork, if Arnold would have been the lead, this movie would have shot through the roof, but it settled for the geeky dork.

  • is it me or this song at 0:56

    sounds like the song from the movie- the nightmare before chrismtas. "this is halloween"

  • I was just a kid wen this came out 1980? Well i know its a 30 year old movie

  • i have buy the DVD Today. hope i received it before christmas

  • this movie looks rad!

  • My favorite Dragon movie. An underrated film that should be more recognised for the new generations.

  • In my opinion the dragon in this movie was one of the best special effects in movie history, even by today's standards.

  • Akatsuki theme yay

  • best dragon movie in the world!

    good old movies of the 80´s! :D

  • I dont remember.. but someone do a video like this.. it was made from the same movie.. i wanna remember the song.. it was really amazing but i cant remember

    the oldest video too was called "Dragonslayer trailer". Here appear a girl who is attacked by dragons.. and at the end of the video a baby dragon eat a leg or something like that..

    Someone can helpme please? i will be very very happy if anyone do that for me :D

    Thanks and great video (And sorry if this is spam..)

  • I guess there was never trailer made for this movie? 0_o

  • i got an original vhs of this MINT at the dollar store today

  • good choice of music for a movie about dragons :) i like

  • A King has made a pact with a dragon where he sacrfices virgins to it, and the dragon leaves his kingdom alone. An old wizard, and his keen young apprentice volunteer to kill the dragon and attempt to save the next virgin in line the Kings own daughter.

  • not bad...makes me want to see this movie

  • Best Dragon movie EVER. Kinda sad to be able to say that in this day in age with special effects wizardry ( pun intended ) being at the level they are.

  • Phil tippet the Grand Pa of creature design and Character animation for Visual Effects!

  • Can anyone tell me this exact track being used for this trailer? Searching for Naruto in general is a bit wide...

  • Naruto Shippuuden Original Soundtrack - Track 10 - "Akatsuki" by Takanashi Yasuharu

  • according to wikipedia, 25% of the budget was spent on the dragon. I'm not surprised.

  • Music sounds awesome with this!

  • Phil Tippet used Go-Motion for the Dragon. Check out the meaning on Wikapiedia.

  • Awesome special effects for 80's, especially 1:41 (dragon breathing fire)

  • Those effects ain't been bettered.

  • It's Yanosh from Ghostbusters 2

  • do u know where i could watch this movie????

  • You could use ares. Im gonna try and upload, but i doubt i'll be successfull.

  • Netflix -- have it mailed to you.

  • Best dargon movie in history . period. keep in mind it was made in the 80s.

  • @tonyagrestic I've been saying the same thing to people for years. I always tell people they need to see this movie.

  • @tonyagrestic Agree!

  • Imagine if dragons existed and we had to go back and kill them. LOL send me back with a 20 men team of highly trained fighters with a few air support guys and me armed with a mini gun and a shotgun.

    BOOM GOES THE DRAGON BOOM GOES THE LAST FEMAIL!!!!!!!! LOL!

  • no guns are boring, it is more cooler with swords and bows, and MAGIC

  • Yea I see your point.

  • Oh and I spelled female wrong sorry.

  • The special effects for that dragon are still amazing some 20+ years later...

  • Oh, another awesome movie to be targeted LOL.

    Nice trailer btw ^^

  • Underrated movie. I thought it was great.

  • I must Totally Agree With You!! %100.

  • Greatest dragon movie ever created!

  • Hello my friend

    you have the movie Dragonlayer?

  • Good job puting this together! This is one of my fave movies of all time saw it as a small child at the theater. Just bought it recently and it has aged well (almost 30 years ago!!!) and is still very enjoyable.

  • Excellent work! And man do I miss watching this movie!

  • Dude! what song is that? can you tell me? PLEASE!

  • Comment removed

  • Hyakkaryouran

  • I saw this film when it aired on T.V over here more than 20 years ago and haven't seen it again since, I've looked around and can't find anyone who has a copy of it over here, not shops or video stores no one seems to have it here (Australia), I'd definately love to see it again.

  • totally awesome clip and music.

    This is the BEST dragon film ever made. The dragon is perfect. And it's pre "CGI" shit.

    So much shit is made today and this blows it totally away. This is bad ass. The eclipse sequence as the dragon lands atop the cliff is stunning.

  • @bonzelite I swear on every old movie clip there's ALWAYS someone complaining about how CGI sucks and how stop motion was the flawless godgiven way of making movies.

  • @bonzelite Agreed 100% A better Dragon movie has yet to be made. The shots of Vermithrax inside the cave are also breathtaking.

  • @andoc Yeah, the cave scenes are what made the movie for me.

  • @bonzelite I agree with that point being the best dragon movie ever made, but to tell the truth, an other one comes very close to it, reign of fire, is excellent too.

  • @insanelook that is honestly the only movie set in the future with dragons in it. a dragon apocalypse at that. very origional.

  • please post the entire movie

  • I saw this movie in the theater in like 1981-82 when it was a new release. It still is awesome because the dragon LOOKS REAL!! It's not a cgi monster. I was done when you made a movie and you wanted it to look real, you used stop action photgraphy and lots of creative cinematography. Anyone can digitalize a movie to create a creature, but this is art.

  • c'mon dude I love stop motion but suggesting that 3D cgi is not art is too much. And no, not anyone can do it....

  • Awesome clips and I love the song, this definitely goes into my favorites. Very cool.

  • lol, at least the flying scenes with the dragon are 100 times better than the flying on super-man 4 :) heehhe

    Great stuff, very well done!
