10	* CreatorBacklash: Co-writer, Patrick Read Johnson expressed regret over the casting for Bowen and Kara.
11	-->...I love Creator/DennisQuaid; I love everything he's done. I just didn't think he should be in 10th century England, any more than Creator/KevinCostner should be in [[Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves Sherwood Forest]]. Not that they weren't enjoyable in their roles. Frankly, I think Dennis Quaid saved the movie, as much as it could have been saved...Dennis Quaid just wasn't the right man for the role; Liam Neeson was the right man for the role... And Creator/DinaMeyer...again...10th century England?! Beverly Hills 100 A.D.? Bless her heart, she tried. It didn't help that they stuck her in that funny red wig that was constantly changing shape and size. The whole thing just flabbergasted me."
12	* DirectToVideo: The first film is the only one in the franchise to get a theatrical release; all sequels/prequels have been direct-to-video.
13	* FakeBrit: Creator/DennisQuaid and Creator/DinaMeyer, who play Bowen and Kara in the first film, are Americans.
14	** In the sequel, American actors Creator/ChristopherMasterson plays Geoff, and Creator/RobbyBenson provides Drake's voice (making him currently the first and only non-British or Celtic actor to voice a dragon in the ''Dragonheart'' films.)
15	* FollowTheLeader: It was a part of a wave of Middle Ages-themed adventure films that followed the success of ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'', though it has a more overt fantastical nature to it.
16	* ThrowItIn: In the scene where Bowen, Kara, and Gilbert flee from a mob of armed villagers before they go to Avalon, if you look closely, Creator/PetePostlethwaite is seen accidentally putting his hand on Creator/DinaMeyer's clothed left breast. Although it was accidental, Rob Cohen kept it in the movie.
17	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
18	** According to the movie's original screenplay, which screenwriter Charles Pogue later adapted into a novelization, he wrote the film to be an earnest, transcendent drama and epic fantasy with compelling imagery and characters and moments of levity sprinkled throughout it. Creator/LiamNeeson would have been Bowen, and Creator/JimHenson would have done the effects for Draco.
19	** Patrick Read Johnson was originally slated to direct, [[https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/03/01/rise-and-fall-and-rise-of-a-hollywood-director-an-interview-with-patrick-read-johnson-pt-3-of-5 but got replaced on the project during pre-production and was only credited as writer and executive producer]].
20	** Creator/RobinWilliams was offered the role of Bowen, but he was more interested in voicing Draco. Creator/KevinBacon, Creator/PierceBrosnan, Creator/GabrielByrne, Creator/TimothyDalton, Creator/HarrisonFord, Creator/MelGibson, Creator/TomHanks, Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger, and Creator/PatrickSwayze were also contenders for Bowen.
21	** Creator/ElizabethHurley was considered for Kara.
22	** Creator/RichardEGrant was considered for Einon.
23	** Creator/WhoopiGoldberg was considered to voice Draco.
24	** Creator/RichardDonner was interested in directing and spent six months on pre-production before moving to other projects. Creator/KennethBranagh was also involved as director in the early stages of production; he was also to star as Einon.
