'''Colt:''' Wrong! My blood is [[PatrioticFervor red, white, and blue!]]

'''Colt:''' Then it's ''lights out'' for Sloan.\\

'''Colt:''' Oh. Then I guess it's lights out... ''forever.''

** The Fazertron starts out as a three round burst only kinetic weapon. Fullt upgrading it gives it [[MoreDakka full auto capability]] , [[EnergyWeapon laser rounds]], and a ludicrously large magazine.

--> '''AI''': Blood Dragons! Unique and majestic killing machines that dominate the top rung of evolution's food chain! [[SchmuckBait Press the button to kill it]]!
--> '''AI''': Congratulations! You have asserted your God-given right as a cyber-man by showing that endangered species who's boss!

-->'''Sloan''': [[NotSoDifferentRemark You and I have the same blue blood, Colt.]]
-->'''Colt''': Wrong! My blood is [[PatrioticFervor red, white, and blue!]]

-->(''The Engineer explains how he will cut the power'')\\
'''Colt''': Then it's ''lights out'' for Sloan.\\
'''Engineer''': You, uh, already said that one.\\
'''Colt''': Oh. Then I guess it's lights out... ''forever.''

-->'''HUD''': Mission objective: Penetrate the Rear Entrance.

-->'''Rex''': [[LampshadeHanging So, I collect shit to unlock shit, then I get shit. Got it]].

-->'''Scientist''': Look out! ''An exothermal chemical reaction!'' [[note]]He means "Fire!"[[/note]]

-->'''Dr. Darling''': Frankly, anyone who thinks games are bad for you is a fucking idiot.
-->'''Rex''': ''[surprised]'' Whoa, whoa, Doc!

-->'''Dr. Darling''' Rex, that was amazing!\\
'''Rex Colt''': No. Paintings of sad clowns and Art/{{dogs playing poker}} are amazing. This is just the job.

-->'''Female AI''': A reminder to all personnel to wash their hands after using the bathroom. When you shake hands with someone, it's like they're shaking hands with everyone you've ever known. Including your mother. ''And you wouldn't want anyone touching your mother, would you?'' Please wash your hands.

-->'''Female AI''': (''static'') Please don't park in the brown zone.

-->'''Rex:''' Why is this elevator so fucking slow?
-->'''HUD:''' Dramatic tension?

*** One of the Predator's Path quests has you hunting a Cyber-Shark named "Brody." Also doubles as a ShoutOut to Martin Brody from ''Film/Jaws''.
*** Being part of an 80s video game, Rex firmly believes that ''"Winners don't do drugs,"'' whereas Jason Brody spent a large proportion of ''Videogame/{{Far Cry 3}}'' out of his gourd on psychotropic chemicals.

-->''"Eggcellent.''\\

--> "Frankly, anyone who thinks games are bad for you is a fucking idiot."

''Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon'' is a 2013 FirstPersonShooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and released for digital download on UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, UsefulNotes/Xbox360, and UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows. It is a stand-alone expansion of ''VideoGame/FarCry3''; you don't have to own ''Far Cry 3'' to play ''Blood Dragon'', but having played ''Far Cry 3'' may help you get used to ''Blood Dragon's'' controls.

An animated series partially inspired by the game, ''WesternAnimation/CaptainLaserhawkABloodDragonRemix'', is set to premiere on Creator/{{Netflix}} in the fall of 2023.

'''Rex Colt''': No. Paintings of sad clowns and dogs playing poker are amazing. This is just the job.

** When hunting for collectibles around Sloan's island, Rex will usually complain about how [[MundaneUtility his abilities aren't being put to good use]]. One such quip goes "I hope I don't have to find any fucking feathers," (or flags) referencing the collectibles from [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreed another of Ubisoft's hits]].

In the grim future of 2007, American cyber-soldier Sergeant Rex "Power" Colt (voiced by [[Creator/MichaelBiehn Michael]] "[[Film/TheTerminator Kyle Reese]]" [[Creator/MichaelBiehn Biehn]]) travels to a remote island to destroy a rogue robot army led by his former mentor, Sloan. Armed with a wide array of weapons and accompanied by fellow soldier Spider (and scientist Dr. Darling later on), Rex has to get the girl, [[KillEmAll kill the bad guys]], and [[SavingTheWorld save the world]] from [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment the apocalypse's apocalypse]].

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The eponymous Blood Dragons have all the characteristics of archetypical carnivorous dinosaurs, plus [[{{Cyborg}} a few additional traits]].

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Sgt. Rex "Power" Colt

-->'''TheNarrator:''' ...[[UpToEleven The apocalypse has had an apocalypse]].

* ActionizedSequel: Compared to ''Far Cry 3'' (and other ''Far Cry'' games in general), since Rex is a cyborg commando rather than a BadassNormal ActionSurvivor. You can have a grand total of 16 health bars (compared to Jason Brody's max of 5), have infinite sprint, don't take fall damage even if jumping off a mountain, and swim at motorboat speeds while never needing air. The guns can also be made deliberately overpowered with enough upgrades.

* AmbiguousRobots: The Blood Dragons might be a case of MechanicalLifeforms... [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane maybe]]. Their blood supercharges cybernetics, their bodies are covered in glowing TronLines, they shoot EyeBeams, and explode when they die, leaving no trace of a body. Almost every other animal in the game is some weird robo-animal hybrid too. [[spoiler:''Trials Of The Blood Dragon'' deconfirms the "Robots" part by revealing that they're actually alien {{Kaiju}}.]]

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Unlike the main game, this game takes place in a cyberpunk version of the "distant future year" of...2007. Also, the retro-futuristic weapons and robotic enemies are all brand new, though the execution animations and overall gameplay remain the same. [[spoiler: And then you start shooting zombies in a medieval castle for some reason and all bets are off!]]

* FingerlessGloves: The main character wears one on his right hand.

* TwentyMinutesIntoThePast: As a means to parody TwentyYearsIntoTheFuture. The games takes place in the war-torn, far off future of 2007.

* ExtyYearsFromNow: Averted. The games takes place in the war-torn, far off future of [[TwentyMinutesIntoThePast 2007]].

''Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon'' is a 2013 FirstPersonShooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and released for digital download on UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, UsefulNotes/Xbox360, and UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows. It is a stand-alone expansion of ''VideoGame/FarCry3''; you don't have to own ''Far Cry 3'' to play ''Blood Dragon'', but having played ''Far Cry 3'' may help you get used to ''Blood Dragon's'' controls. The expansion game serves up a [[AffectionateParody love letter]] to [[TheEighties '80s]] action movies (and video games of roughly the same era) -- it takes place on a bizarre, neon-colored island crawling with [[EverythingTryingToKillYou killer robot soldiers and robot animals]], and it features a musical score filled with cheesy synthesizer music.

An UpdatedRerelease for consoles[[note]]PC users will simply receive a free copy of the PC version[[/note]] [[https://news.ubisoft.com/fi-fi/article/5neA0tM3V2hJ6vDgGqdZAL/far-cry-6-play-as-legendary-villains-with-the-season-pass was revealed during Ubisoft Forward 2021]], as part of ''VideoGame/FarCry6'''s season pass.

-->'''Sloan''': [[NotSoDifferent You and I have the same blue blood, Colt.]]

* {{Cyberpunk}}: ''Blood Dragon'' borrows heavily from (1980s) movies in this genre, with cyborg and AI technology existing even AfterTheEnd of a nuclear holocaust.
