Here is a low budget fantasy movie that is mostly goofball silliness.
It opens with a tale of a dragon that only kills people who are in love. After
this intro, we meet a pair of dragon slayers on their way to save a fair
maiden from a dragon about to devour her. One of the dragon slayers -
played by Luke Perry - knocks the other from his horse so that he can gather all the
glory for himself. He makes short work of the dragon and then proceeds
to ravish the fair maiden he has just rescued. It is then that the
love-hating dragon arrives and devours the fair maiden! The dragon
slayer gives chase. And is devoured! This is probably the best Luke
Perry role ever!
Next we meet Camilan, who is dressed like He-Man and telling his parents of his plan to marry an elf. They are less than pleased as such a marriage will end the pure-blood family line and bar Camilan from inheriting the realm. However, if he can get his brother Ramicus to marry... Camiilan sets out to find his brother who proves to be the dragon slayer who was knocked from his horse. Then follows a ludicrous and often funny adventure as the two very different brothers set out on a quest to rescue a fair maiden from a powerful wizard who commands the love-hating dragon.
Of note, Adam Johnson (Ramicus) is also a major character in the Mythica series; he plays Thane the arrow catcher (not in a good way). Like the Mythica series, this was also filmed in Utah. Utah seems to be a great place for fantasy films of late.
The CGI is adequate but certainly far below what you would find in a wide release film. I particularly liked the orc character; his bit in drag to attract the love-hating dragon was surprisingly funny. Though it was titled Dragon Warriors on Kickstarter, it is credited as Dudes & Dragons on IMDB.
