History TheDragon / LiveActionFilms

* The [[FourEyesZeroSoul bespectacled Grange]] is Top Dollar's Dragon in ''Film/TheCrow''.

* In the Creator/ErrolFlynn film ''Film/TheAdventuresOfRobinHood'', Sir Guy acts as TheDragon to Prince John as the lead enforcer of Prince John's corrupt regime.
* In Creator/TimBurton's ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010''

* In ''Film/{{The Avengers|1998}}'', Sir August has two: Mrs. Peel's clone and Bailey. Mrs. Peel kills both of them before Sir August dies during a sword fight with Steed.

* ''Batman Film Series'':
** ''Film/Batman1989'': Bob is Jack Napier's (later The Joker) "number-one guy", an unflinchingly loyal henchman who has Jack's back at any given moment. Jack himself started out as right-hand man to mob boss Carl Grissom... until Grissom [[UriahGambit tries to set Jack up to be killed]] early in the film.

* In ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|1981}}'', the Greek gods' Dragon is the Kraken, which they send out to punish cities that displease them.
* In ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|2010}}'' Calibos is Hades' Dragon (along with the Kraken).
* Bennett in ''Film/{{Commando}}'' is one of the most memorable Dragons in cinematic history. He [[spoiler:dies in the opening moments of the movie in order to do a FaceHeelTurn]] and then [[DragonAscendant outlives]] the rather disappointing BigBad (who is only memorable in that he is played by Dan Hedaya wearing a ton of fake tan). And if that weren't enough he wears a [[AwesomeButImpractical Chainmail Wife-Beater]] sports a Handlebar Moustache and is made out of CrazyIsCool. If [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Arnie]] weren't in this movie, one gets the feeling that it would have been called '''"Bennett"'''. Darth who?

* ''Film/ThreeDaysToKill': The Albino is the right-hand man of the Wolf, an arms trafficker who's selling terrorists a dirty bomb.

** ''Film/JohnWickChapter4'': Caine is top assassin that the Marquis sends after John Wick.

* ''Film/TheRock'': Major Baxter to General Hummel as his second-in-command and close friend. Baxter has served alongside Hummel for decades (at least since Vietnam) and is extremely loyal, eventually [[spoiler:following along with Hummel's HeelFaceTurn and [[RedemptionEqualsDeath going down side-by-side with him]] when [[TheStarscream Frye and Darrow]] turn traitor.]]

** ''Film/{{Aquaman}}'' has Xebel's King Nereus to the Atlantean King Orm. Orm seeks to declare himself Ocean Master (a Roman-type dictator) to declare war on the surface world and Nereus is his top military supporter; Nereus makes clear that Orm won't go anywhere with his plans unless he has Nereus' army.

* ''Film/{{The Three Musketeers|1993}}'': Count Rochefort is dragon to the BigBad, Cardinal Richelieu.
* ''Film/TotalRecall1990'' (1990): Richter, to BigBad Cohaagen.
* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'':
** Although Megatron is usually the BigBad, he is presented as the Dragon in specifically ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen.'' In this continuity, Megatron serves The Fallen as a master, and is sent on missions to enforce his master's will. The Fallen himself doesn't fight and actively go on missions himself until the climactic final battle in the second movie. However, [[spoiler:he is killed during this battle, quite possibly setting Megatron up for the BigBad role once again, just like all his other incarnations]].

* ''Film/TheUntouchables'': PsychoForHire Frank Nitti is the man who does almost all Al Capone's dirty work, such as assassinations.

* Lola is Gianni's Dragon in ''Film/{{Transporter 2}}''. She spends most of the movie fighting the hero while Gianni takes a nap. [[spoiler:But she's anticlimactically killed by a [[strike:gag cactus]] spike of wall]]

* Paul Yau (the assassin with the shades), is Johnny Weng's Dragon from Creator/JohnWoo's ''Film/TheKiller''. He gives both heroes of the movie a fight, especially during the church shootout, before [[spoiler:being taken hostage in an attempt to break the PutDownYourGunAndStepAway situation with Johnny and the Killer's girlfriend and getting one put through his skull by Johnny himself]].

** ''Film/JohnWickChapter4'': Chidi leads the Marquis' [[PraetorianGuard personal henchmen]] and [[MadeOfIron is no slouch in combat himself]].

* Although ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' villain Megatron is usually the BigBad, he is presented as the Dragon in [[Film/{{Transformers}} the live-action film series]], specifically ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen.'' In this continuity, Megatron serves The Fallen as a master, and is sent on missions to enforce his master's will. The Fallen himself doesn't fight and actively go on missions himself until the climactic final battle in the second movie. However, [[spoiler:he is killed during this battle, quite possibly setting Megatron up for the BigBad role once again, just like all his other incarnations]].

** Galvatron, the reconstructed Megatron, also serves as the Dragon for KSI in the fourth film in the series ''Film/TransformersAgeofExtinction'' [[spoiler:before he ends up becoming the films Big Bad.]] Lockdown also serves as a Dragon for his "creators."

** The Jabberwocky fits as DragonInChief, as The Red Queen's power and authority is built around the Jabberwocky's ability to intimidate her enemies.

* Tatsu is the Shredder's Dragon in the original ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' movies. In the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 first movie]], Casey Jones is the one to take him on, while in the second movie, the Turtles themselves dispatch him with a "Wishbone Crunch" that consists of sandwiching him between all four of their shells simultaneously. "Tatsu" is one of the Japanese words for a... yeah, you guessed it. Dragon.
