Spectacular as they are, Denmark simply doesn't have the towering snow-capped peaks, soaring cliffs and thousand-foot deep chasms that appear in this movie. Most of the coastline is gently rolling green hills in the east coast, and plains, bogs and marshes on the west coast. In fact apart from overseas territories, the highest point in Denmark is a hill only 171 m high. [Denmark also didn't have dragons. The point is, the story is a legend, and everything in a legend gets embellished and exagerrated. Such as Beowulf's sea monster story where he was in a 5 day swimming race where he killed either 3, 9 or 20 sea monsters. In a legend, the 171 meter hill becomes a 1710 meter mountain.]

This is not enough, and the sword tip stops just short of hitting the heart. He then cuts his arm to gain extra reach, stabs in with the sword - and once again stops a few centimeters short. But after he loses the sword, he is suddenly able to reach in and grab the heart with his hand, and not miss by three feet like he should. [It was a dagger not a sword. Probably didn't extend his reach by more than a foot, if that. And it was knocked out of his hand before he could get it to the heart. It could have reached.] Corrected by Phixius Ray Winstone - who voiced Beowulf, provided Beowulf's face, and did the performance capture acting for the modelling for the digital character - is also credited as the dragon. This despite the dragon being a completely digital character with no spoken lines. The reason is that Winstone also provided the performance capture acting for the dragon model! Other characters he modelled for include the "golden man" (a lot of which was cut), and the dwarf (appearing in the anniversary celebration play.). [Pointing out information that appears in the credits is not trivia.] Corrected by PhixiusYou may also like: I Am Legend | Cloverfield | 300 | Star Wars | Transformers
