Draco appears in the film 'Dragonheart'. Draco is not his real name - his real name is unpronounceable for humans. He is a computer animated dragon, voiced by Sean Connery.

Rob Cohen (the director) commented about the dragon, "Draco is not solely an animal; he's the first computer graphic imagery actor. He speaks, he emotes, he has feeling, a soul and humor. He's Sean Connery, essentially as an 18-foot-high, 43-foot-long dragon."

Flight of Dragons
Peter Dickenson finds himself transported back in time to a magical era where wizards and dragons exist. He has been chosen by the fates to save the world of magic... despite being a man of science.

The theory behind the dragons flying and the name of the film were from 'The Flight of Dragons' by Peter Dickinson. The story was based on the book 'The Dragon and the George' by Gordon R. Dickson (there are quite a few differences between the book and the film). This film was produced in 1982 for television.

Q

Q: The Winged Serpent
This film was released in 1982. Mysterious deaths start happening on New York rooftops... people keep getting beheaded. The culprit is Q (the god Quetzalcoatl). At the same time, a string of ritualistic murders are also happening in the city. Unsurprisingly, the two things are connected.

The dragon himself does not appear very much in the film. When he does, he is stop-motion animated. The creature design was by Randy Cook (Randall William Cook). The film was directed by Larry Cohen and is very B-movie type of affair.

R

Reign of Fire
This is a full-length film about dragons taking over the world. In the not too distant future, humans are struggling to survive after accidently waking up the dragons. The remaining humans live in isolated areas, hiding from the dragons. The film follows a settlement in England.

The visual effects supervisor was Richard R. Hoover. There were no named dragons in this film.
