Some of those violent moments, others involving dragon attacks and people trying to hide and/or avoid being killed, and the general sight of the huge and menacing dragons might be unsettling, suspenseful or downright scary to some viewers, particularly younger ones. While some blood is present, most of the deaths are not gory, and two men get into a brief fight. Various people and dragons are killed in some violent encounters, but many of the human deaths take place off camera or are seen from a distance.

Armed with such knowledge and the belief that the creatures can't see that well at dusk, Van Zan and others then head off toward London in hopes of accomplishing their goal. It seems that they've discovered that one male dragon is fertilizing the eggs of the many female dragons and have concluded that if they kill him, they'll wipe out the species. Quinn is suspicious of such claims, but when the Americans not only fend off an attack but also kill a hostile dragon, they begin to believe them and take some stock in their theory about how to kill the beasts.
