100 things we learned from Reign of Fire

im sure those were apples... which also makes no sense :/

#3: When guns don't work, an arrow will do the trick
#4: With dragons all around, its perfectly safe to fly a helicopter

Still, i loved the film :D

27. In a post apocolyptic world a C-5 Galaxy can apparently carry a Tank, a helicopter, various other armored vehicles and upwards of 122 men and STILL get off the runway!

According to the AF numbers the C-5 is the largest cargo plane and can still only hold 36 standard pallets and 81 troop simultaneously. Even assuming he packed that plane so tight a person couldn't so much as fart without blowing everything apart, Van Zant would have to have rebuilt a HELL of a lot more than 1 C-5 to carry all the crap he brought from Kentucky.

Of course that's assuing he brought all his own stuff and didn't pick any up along the way since they never mentioned scavenging any of their equipment.

40. The terrain just outside of London looks an awful lot like Arizona or Utah, but with medieval castles.
41. Iodine has special magical powers to clear up bruising and broken facial bones after a serious beating, but makes a strong man crap his pants in pain.
42. It's a good idea to let strangers from a distant land with huge amount of armament right in the front door; just glare at them from time to time.

47. Even though we have the technology and artillery and even weapons of mass destruction, we'll still never beat the dragons. We have to wait till the world is destroyed and then shoot an arrow into their mouth in order to kill them.

48. Quinn wrote 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back'.

49. If you're the best friend, you have to die for no reason at all.

50. You may not have time to trim that beard, but you'll always have time to shave that head.

51. It doesn't matter how many babies dragons have, none of them will ever be male.

52. Even though Denton Van Zan was around the same age as Quinn and there was an apocalyptic dragon war going on, he still has time to get a tattoo.

#53 apparently Quinn and Creedy were like the pied pipers because you rarely saw many adults and there were a lot of children.

#54 we're all going to hell in a handbasket if we do indeed pity the country that needs a hero

#55 who knew they were drinking water out of those flasks

#56 if you are sprayed in the eyes with this mixture of napalm from the dragons mouth apparently an eye wash station will stop the scarring of your retinas

94.) A beautiful woman traveling alone with a rogue band of soldiers lead by a war-crazed psychopath/sociopath in a post-apocalyptic world is in absolutely no danger of being sexually assaulted.

95.) A starving dragon would rather burn 50 soldiers up than eat them just to prove a point: Stay away from London!

96.) 3 men can jump out of a helicopter 10,000 feet in the air with absolutely no fear of the inevitable crash onto the rocks and hard soil waiting below them.

97.) Dragons do not attack helicopters.

98.) Military tanks can drive 8000 miles and show no visible signs of dragon attacks.

99.) Once you slay the male, it is perfectly safe to ride a horse nearly 400 miles from London to Northhumberland without being attacked by the thousands of other starving females.

100.) Despite all of this, it was still a pretty cool movie. ;) EPIC thread ladies and gentlemen.

re: #2
vines do bear tomatoes, as well as grapes.

How 'bout this one instead--

#2: On the way to London, the best place to park your caravan of military vehicles is... the road littered with military vehicles that have been burnt up & attacked by dragons. Don't park in a tunnel or anything.

Considering this board was wiped not long ago, it seems like a good idea to bump this once again. I'd hate to see this wonderful thread die at the 'hands' of the IMDB bot.
