** Hiccup and Toothless nearly hit the Alpha's tail, as they did in the last movie with the Red Death's tail. Hiccup even says "Oh, not again".

A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68AqHwgk2s8 teaser]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCWJL6D1SZA two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y0erVF9cLI trailers]] for the sequel have been released, along with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqk6rbhuKd0 first 5 minutes]] of the movie.

!!Tropes from ''How to Train Your Dragon 2''

* BigBad: Drago wants to enslave all of the dragons.
* CallBack: Just like the first movie, it opens with some poor sheep being grabbed by a dragon. It's not due to dragons plundering the village anymore however, but the sheep being a price target in Berk's new sport of Dragon Racing.
** Also, the idea of a humongous dragon taking control of several other dragons is used again here. [[spoiler: In fact, its the main plot.]]
* CostumePorn: Characters get pretty fancy outfits this time, such as [[http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/wiki/File:Httyd2_poster_big.jpg Hiccup's leather armor]] and [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140116201123/howtotrainyourdragon/images/2/26/Astrid-httyd-2.jpg Astrid]] getting [[PrettyInMink a fur-trimmed cape and fur underskirt]].
* FlamingSword: Hiccup has a retractable sword which can release flammable gas for the "flaming" part. The gas itself can be released separately, which he uses to tame dragons by being able to create fire like they can.
* GoldenSnitch: Dragon Racing involves the riders grabbing marked sheep and tossing them into their respective bins for points. At the end, a black sheep is launched which is worth ten points. This allows Astrid to win the game even though the twins had collected almost every sheep up until that point, thanks to both Fishlegs and Snotlout giving up their sheep to help Ruffnut (while Hiccup is absent entirely).
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Stoick takes a shot meant for Hiccup.]]
* HighAltitudeInterrogation: In the "Stormfly Fetch" clip, Astrid pulls this off without missing a beat. After kidnapping [[spoiler: Eret]] off of the deck of his ship, she promptly asks him to take the Dragon Riders ([[spoiler: minus Hiccup, who cannot be seen in this clip]]) to Drago. He refuses, saying he would rather die. Astrid immediately complies and tells Stormfly to drop him. [[spoiler: Eret]] quickly agrees to Astrid's request while falling, at which point Astrid has Stormfly catch him again.
-->'''Astrid:''' (''with a smile'') Works every time.
* InTheBlood: [[spoiler:Hiccup takes after his mother.]]
* LoveTriangle: Ruffnut is currently the only available woman on Berk and the target of Snotlout and Fishlegs' affections, not that she wants anything to do with them. It gets more complicated when [[spoiler:Ruffnut falls in love with a new character named Eret.]]
* OfficialCouple: Hiccup and Astrid are still going as strong as ever.
* PermaStubble: The main male characters, now in their late teens, are all sporting face fuzz.
* ShoutOut: The wave-like ice sculpture Hiccup and Astrid come across looks alot like the one [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians Jack and Pitch made while fighting in Antarctica.]]
* TemptingFate: In the "Stormfly Fetch" clip, [[spoiler: Eret remarks how he and his crew is dead if they do not get their hands on some dragons soon. No points for guessing who is behind him and about to kidnap him.]]
-->'''Astrid:''' [[LampshadeHanging Careful what you wish for!]]
* TimeSkip: The film is set five years after the first.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The first full-length trailer gives away [[spoiler:the reveal of Hiccup's mother and the BigBad]].
** It also briefly shows Hiccup and the others [[spoiler:riding baby dragons at one point, meaning their own dragons likely gets kidnapped or trapped.]]
** Some of the trailers also shows what is strongly implied to be [[spoiler:Hiccup and Valka's goodbye scene.]]
