This page needs a better description. You can help this wiki by expanding or clarifying the information given.
- A Boy and His X: A boy and his dragon.
- Action Girl: Lian, definitely.
- Award Bait Song: "My Heart Goes With You", sung by Rona Figueroa, the actress who plays Lian.
- Badass Princess: Lian.
- Breath Weapon: Fire and ice this time.
- Chekhov's Skill: Drake tries to learn the forgotten Dragon art of breathing ice, but fails. Naturally, he manages to pull it off at the climax.
- Color Me Black: This was attempted on the Big Bad prior to the events of the movie. It utterly failed, the dragon in human form is still bent on genocide.
- Conspicuous CG: The worst shot is at about 3:55 in this clip (beware of spoilers), with the dragons being especially shiny and the way they're moving when compared with the rest of the movie.
- Covered in Mud: At one point, The Rival Roland trips and gets a face full of stable mud.
- Dawson Casting: Lian's age isn't ever said, but she appears to be a teenager and is referred to as a "girl" instead of a woman. Whatever her age, it's certainly younger than actress Rona Figueroa's 28 at the time of filming.
- A Dog Named "Dog": "Drake" is a term meaning "dragon", or certain types of dragon.
- Dual-Wielding: Both Roland and Osric fight with a sword in each hand at some point.
- Fan Disservice: Seeing a monk - even a supposedly teenage one - run around in nothing but underwear (which happens to look quite a bit like a diaper).
- Farts on Fire: While learning to breathe fire, Drake starts to lose control of it and turns away from the nearby village to avoid damaging anything. Unfortunately, it comes out the wrong end, and he destroys a building.
- Intergenerational Friendship: Lian refers to Kwan as her loyal servant, her wise teacher, and her closest friend.
- Last of His Kind: Drake. Kinda.
- Leitmotif: The credits song, My Heart Goes With You, serves as Lian's.
- Mentor Occupational Hazard: Poor Kwan...
- Old Master: Kwan
- Parasol of Pain: Master Kwan's weapon.
- Playing Possum: Done by Osric and his men in battle. Osric was pretending that he was dying and needed Drake's heart, but when Geoff realized that Osric wasn't wounded, then some of Osric's "dead" men jumped up and attacked.
- Renowned Selective Mentor: Geoff is trained by the king's advisor Osric. Osric claims it is because he's a natural and deserves special attention, but his real motive was to make Geoff eager for battle and to trust him in order to convince Drake to give up half his heart.
- The Rival: Roland is to Geoff, somewhat.
- Samus Is a Girl: The first time Lian is seen, she is believed to be a boy; it is only a little while later that she is revealed to be a girl.
- Seven Deadly Sins: Used as a bit of a Running Gag.
Geoff: Come on, don't say it like that, take some pride in being special!
Mansel: All right, I am special!
Geoff: It's not like Pride is one of those Seven Deadly Sins or anything.
Mansel (stops walking and frowns): ...Actually, it is.
- And then later:
(Mansel is holding a whole armload of food)
Geoff: Hey, you have fun. 'Cause it's not like Gluttony is on that seven deadly sin list too.
(Mansel quickly sets down all the food and walks away)
- Surrounded by Idiots: "YOU are all INCOMPETENTS!"
- Taking the Bullet:
- Osric pretends to do this in battle.
- Kwan does this at the climax.
- Throwing Your Sword Always Works:
- Osric does this in battle.
- Geoff throwing his sword at Griffin in the climax.
- Waif Fu: Lian uses this a couple times.
- You Have Failed Me...: Stefan has served Osric loyally for years. One mistake, and he gets a dagger in his chest.
