Quan, you can't honestly believe that if the circumstances of Reign of Fire occurred in the real world, we would end up in a post apocalyptic wasteland. Quite the opposite actually. We'd drive them extinct so fast they wouldn't have time to breathe fire to counterattack. Human weaponry is very effective and very sophisticated, and while the dragons may pose a threat, they most certainly would not come out victor

Not if there were millions and millions of dragons. We'd nuke ourselves probably just like they did in the movie.

You severely underestimate the intelligence of the human race

Millions, dude.

SAM missiles, dude

Here come another million dragons.

A guy shot one down with a harpoon. We'll be fine

Yeah, one dragon in which two or so highly trained men died along with the fact this is just one dragon. In the manner they can reproduce and how they would converge on populated areas in the grand scheme of things a meaningless casualty.

They died because they tried shooting it down with a chain net. A missile will have a far different effect

I'd doubt it.

That many were never shown on screen.

And Van Zan was never shown killing more than he did on screen either.

Cereally though, Dragons own hard.

They did in the coin ops.... But the movie was pure, sheer and unadulterated ladyboy nancy-ness....that said, the still would pwn the living shit out Van Zan.

Yes, a missile would easily destroy one but then again without starving them out due to a lack of of a food source there are a lot more dragons than fighter jets.

It was stated by the narrator.

So? They failed to show up.

None was given, chimp. Stop embarrassing yourself, you're now talking as if the Reign of Fire events would happen the way they did.

7 billion humans + the military might of the world > millions of dragons.

How or more importantly why show a million dragons.....the narrator said so it happened.

I doubt it. Most of the world's population is fodder and we cannot reproduce as quickly as they can.

Easily.... dark swarm in the background other layers of thousands of dragons in like the middle ground layer, and the foreground dragons that we can see clear in foreground... a nice parallax shot or two...job done.

And why not? We buy the narration in Lord of the Rings as it was actually shown.

Onscreen evidence talks...narration BS walks.
But if it was for a second to be a factor here, what part of the narration said that Zan would be able to slaughter them all, and what narration said that the dragons all attacked in unison?

Cause the humans/miltary given enough time would be able to slaughter them like skypigs, taking them down one by one and/or a few or thousand at a time. Hell we could most likely test their bodies, and develop a virus to "wipe them out, all of them."

Anyway: That deals with your strawmannery, now you can get round to accepting that McClane slaughters Van Zan like Van Zan was made of tissue paper.
