What's evil? They're only trying to live.

Speaking of which, the good guys didn't do too well in The Great Escape.
True, it was a semi-good ending in a way.

Would most dragons even be considered reptiles?

and I thought dinosaurs weren't considered repitles anymore either.

But I get what you mean. Just because something is scalely or leathery looking with big teeth and claws it has to be the bad guy. People are just biased towards the cute and fury and against the tough and majestic. :)

I had such high hopes for Reign of Fire originally. I wanted to see dragons dogfighting with F-16s, dammit!

They should never have showed the tank in the advertisements. It lead people on too much. Also, who came up with the idea of the archangels? Geez wouldn't it be better to have a helicopter gunship going after the dragons instead of using some skydiver as bait?

Ok, i'm on the post-apoc thing again.

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

Max stops the eeevil Tina Turner and her cleavage from killing the little kids and they do reach the Lost City, but Turner is still ruler of the Raider gangs and Barter Town, and Max is once again wandering aimlessly in the post nuclear war wasteland eventually, we assume, to die...*sigh* you think he could just build a camp and say, 'Fuck this, fuck the wandering, i'm staying right the fuck here.'

As you can tell i've seen nearly every real post-apocalypse movie ever made :) .

They should make Reign of Fire 1/2. The fight between the movie and when the first dragon appeared. You'd get your fights then.

Was that the movie where some military guys go to a colony and have to fight all of these crazy robots disgused as colonists(mostly little girls) and the military commander puts the chick in the escape rocket at the end?
I thought the chick was a good crazy screamer robot. Don't remember any teddybear tho.

Don't you see it crawling up the window as the ship is flying away?

It's been a while since I've seen the movie.
