To-do list for Reign of Fire (film):

The Wikipedia article states that a dragon's nest was discovered in Pakistan, but the movie shows a newspaper clipping of the nest being in Tibet - though the final T is obscured, a map showing the South of China is shown. Discuss. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WhiteCrane ( talk • contribs) 20:04, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
If the first dragon was either a male or female, how was there more? Were they originally asexual? It plainly stated that females needed a male to fertilize the eggs.

I've read that this movie is meant as an allegory for the ancient story Beowulf, any official information? (there are a large number of similarities) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.176.85.30 ( talk • contribs) 12:25, August 24, 2006 (UTC).
What exactly are the similarities? Beowulf has a troll, it's mother and only one dragon, which is a classic fantasy dragon rather than the non-magical, non-treasure hoarding, sci-fi animals in this movie. The protagonist, beowulf, is the most powerful warrior in the story whereas in Reign of Fire the most powerful warrior is an Achilles-like madman. Where did you read this? The presence of a source would be the most important factor for a Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.171.204.39 ( talk) 22:58, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
I don't think the plot summary for this is entirely correct. From what I remember about the movie there wasn't suppost to only be one male dragon in the world. Van Sant even mentions that they had a run in with another male dragon. Is this correct or am I wrong?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.158.58.34 ( talk • contribs) 05:54, September 8, 2006 (UTC).
In the trivia section it claims that this film "coincidentally" premiered on Sept. 11th 2002 in another country. This is not really a noteworthy coincidence (nor interesting trivia). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.14.100.36 ( talk) 08:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
I don't think the main part of the movie is set 12 years after the first part. Quinn says his adopted son was 3 years old when he found him and he's now a teenager so Quinn would've been a kid himself when he found him. Either the first part of the movie is takes place before 2008 or the main part tkaes place after 2020. 218.215.135.195 11:09, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
The main part of the movie seems to be set in 2020, as stated by the movie (I just rewatched it). I updated the trivia section accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aluroon ( talk • contribs) 05:22, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
The movie plot hand-waves away why the dragons were not more easily killed in the initial phases. A 20mm autocannon mounted on a truck would make short work of several dragons at once, let alone a pair of 30mm autocannons with radar guidance. And that doesn't touch what would be done by tanks hardened to nuclear standard, or attack helicopters or any of several support-attack aircraft and warships. Even if the effective range of the dragons' fire-breath was 1000 metres (unlikely), even third-world army units with a couple of BMGs could hold them off. That said, not a bad flick really. -- Ossipewsk ( talk) 02:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Why do they discover bones in Antarctica due to Arctic melting? Antarctic and Arctic are two separate things, on opposite points of the planet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stacecom ( talk • contribs) 01:10, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
According to the trailer for this movie, this all takes place in 2084, not 2020. Any references for the 2020 date? Villy ( talk) 00:42, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
The Onions AVClub reviewed Reign of Fire in 2014, in their "worth a watch" section. Interesting to see the film is getting a better response in retrospect, although there isn't enough to claim anything like a cult following. -- 109.76.23.182 ( talk) 16:14, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
