The scene in Napoleon Dynamite where Napoleon is about to watch his dance video in his room, there is a Dragonslayer poster on his wall. =D

That's the reason I'm on this website now actually, just paused the movie to look up dragonslayer, and here I am, the movie looks pretty flipping cool, I think I'll pursue it.

Weird, I just watched Napoleon Dynamite for the first time last week, and am halfway through Dragonslayer (I was 11 when it came out and never got around to seeing it til now).
Good movie, maybe a bit slow in the pacing, but I like how they're telling a story, not just jumping into an action movie.

Also the end of Napoleon Dynamite is an homage to Dragonslayer! When Napoleon tames a wild honeymoon stallion... It's a white horse... Plus he has the same hair!
