Having gotten quite a response (comments and emails) on my Mansquito post, I decided it was time to actually *watch* a SciFi channel movie. Here is a summary of "Dragon Wars" that The Serene One and I watched last weekend.
Number of giant snakes: 2
Number of dragons (western): ~20
Number of dragons (eastern): 1
Abysmal storyline: 1
Pathetic girl "hero" who has no combat skills but can scream: 1
Pathetic guy "hero" who has no combat skills but can scream: 1
Plucky sidekick who doesn't die: 1
Plucky roommate who dies: 1
Number of elephants eaten by giant snake: 1.5
Dream sequences: 2
Flashbacks: 1
Flashbacks within flashbacks: 1
Sauron knock-off: 1
Sauron's army knock-off: 1
Giant dinosaurs: ~6
Medieval clothing appearance: 1 (Korean)
Sage old Asian man: 2 (original and reincarnation)
Reincarnated characters: 3
Stand-off between dragons and military: 1

Overall, terrible storyline but pretty good special effects. There was an extravagant use of extras and the evil giant snake made it into most scenes.
