Quick little thing, this movie actually gets a theatrical release and comes out two years earlier than OTL since the first Dragonheart did really good (audiences wanted more fantasy during the downtime of Zelda movies, so they ate up Dragonheart, doubling its box office take ITTL) so this gets a bigger budget than OTL's 11 million and brings back Bowen, Gilbert and Kara from the first movie. Plot is roughly the same, but with the changes that bringing back original cast members would bring. The movie breaks even, but is a disappointment from the original, so the series goes straight to video from here on with a prequel trilogy; Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse (2002), Dragonheart 4: Battle for the Heartfire (2004) and Dragonheart 5: Vengeance (2007)
