Subject: [GZG] [OT (DS3?)] Dragon Wars the movie
Remember the movie Reign of Fire, with a poster that showed helicopter gunships battling dragons over London? Well if you walked out feeling cheated because we never actually saw that battle, here's a movie that makes up for it. It's called Dragon Wars, or possibly D-Wars. It's a dreadful movie about fate, prophecies, ancient evil, and really big snakes. But at about the three quarter mark there's a pitched battle in Los Angeles. In the air, AH-64 gunships take on dragons of roughly similar size. On the ground, US infantry with M113s and M1 tanks take on evil infantry with bullet proof shields, swords, and polearms; similar evil cavalry on bipedal lizards; and really big evil lizards each with a pair of triple barrelled rocket launchers on their backs. Sadly for the recent artillery debate, we don't see any indirect fire support from either side :-) Still, it might make a fun scenario for a convention. cheers,
