* Evil Mentor:

* RealityEnsues: Bowen saves Kara's father from being blinded early in the movie... only for Einon to recapture him later and finish the job anyway. Because really, [[TheSociopath why wouldn't he?]]

* The sequel, ''Dragonheart: A New Beginning'' was released direct-to-video in 2000 geared towards a younger audience. Featuring a new dragon, Drake (The voice of the beast in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': ‘Robby Benson’). Toward the end of Bowen's life, he had returned to the cave where he had first met Draco -- and discovered a dragon egg. The egg was put in the care of Gilbert's monastery, where it hatched into a young dragon named Drake. Drake is cared for by a friar and the novice Mansel in secret for 20 years until he is one day discovered by Mansel's friend Geoff, an orphan stableboy who dreams of being a knight. Meanwhile, a pair of travelers arrive from the East, searching for a dragon they believe has been born; a prophecy says an ancient evil will take hold of the land using a dragon's heart when a two-tailed comet blazes across the sky. The comet is just days away, and they intend to prevent evil from happening.
