* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/ChristianBale and Creator/MatthewMcConaughey were not very well known when this film was made. In fact, the leads and major supporting actors were somewhat annoyed at the fact that the children on set would ignore them and crowd around Creator/AlexanderSiddig asking him for autographs and asking ''Franchise/StarTrek'' questions.

Felt it had to be added. Plus, I don't know how to add new segments.

* NightmareFuel: The Bull. This dragon is considerably larger than the females and it shows. On its own, the Bull wiped out the Kentucky Irregulars in just one pass over them and then he just flew off immediately to the castle. [[ItCanThink The way he crawled up carefully to the castle suggests not only that he knew about the place]], but that he'd ''done it before.'' ''It was like he just wanted an excuse to attack it.''

* GeniusBonus: The Americans introduce themselves as the "Kentucky Irregulars", something that did not make sense to most American audiences, but would be more likely to make sense to Europeans due to differences in terminology. Irregulars are military personnel who are not part of the military proper, referring to militia, auxiliaries and other elements. The "Kentucky Irregulars" are the Kentucky National Guard. (For non-Americans, National Guard refers to the military forces that belong to the individual states rather than to the Federal Government.) Meanwhile, in colonial times (such as when the British Empire held sway in the Americas), Kentucky was a region known as a very fertile hunting ground. Lo and behold, the Kentucky National Guard shows up to hunt dragons.
