Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves | First Time Watching! | Movie REACTION!

When they jumped with Jornathan out of the window, one of the councilmen shouts: "But we approved your pardon!" 🤣

“Ok…fine…then…I pick up a potato 🥔, and throw it.” That’s the most D&D move EVER.

A fun cameo is the second party they see when the maze game begins. They are dressed like the six characters from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon that many of us grew up watching in the 80s. We see them again in the maze, finding the axe in the chest.

The fun thing about this moment is realizing who all is in this party: A Bard, a Sorcerer, a Druid, and a Barbarian. And their Paladin escort. Primary stats: Charisma, Charisma, Wisdom, Strength, Charisma. Not an intelligence character among them.

Fun fact: Xenk was originally meant to be Drizzt Do'Urden, which would've made it even funnier that everyone knows about him and thinks he's great.

Out of all the things in this movie, I loved the Hither-Thither staff because the whole interaction felt like a DM scrambling to undo a player botching his fancy puzzle. "Whoops, I stepped on the bridge" turned into "uhhhh Yeah so that stick you had was ACTUALLY a very powerful item which will allow you to cross the gap"

This movie is proof that tropes can be perfectly effective if taken seriously.

I love the irony of knitting a pair of mitten as a present for someone who lives in a place called "Neverwinter."

May the love for the Chonky Dragon live forever. ❤

I love how the camera keeps switching back and forth between Holga and Elgin in the fight scene when they were about to get beheaded. You can tell that Elgin keeps failing his ability checks to get his hands unbound so he can join the fight until the very last round of combat.

This movie is so much better than I think anyone expected. The cemetery scene and the distraction illusion are two of the funniest things I've seen in years.

Once you realize the paladin is a DM NPC to help the party get what they need to do the mission, all his actions and things he says makes sense. Also explains the look he gives Simon for ruining the bridge puzzle.

FUN FACT: Thumberchaud the overweight dragon was used to power the forge by the gray dwarves, and in order to make sure the dragon stayed to serve them, they paid him in treasure and fed slaves to him so he got really chubby.

I am not the biggest fan of sword and sorcery movies and never played D&D, so I wasn't keen to watch this movie. I finally decided to when there was nothing else on and it instantly became one of my favorite movies. It's engaging and delightful and fun from start to finish, to the point I consider it a modern day classic like The Princess Bride.

My favorite Easter Egg is that the “other” party in the labyrinth is taken from the 80’s D&D Saturday Morning Cartoon. The costuming, the classes, and even ages is pretty spot-on for the main characters from that show. It was a very clever nod.

i can see why Chandra and Simone are friends. They both went nuts over the cute chunky dragon.

I've been playing D&D with the same group since 1982. Our longest game went for 11 years.

Fun fact the part at the beach where zank is walking away the director yelled cut but he didn't hear it so he kept walking and walked over the rock

It's set in the "Forgotten Realms" campaign world. Dates back to TSR's 2nd Edition era.

I've been playing D&D since 2nd Edition, and I really loved the movie. A few things you may not have noticed: Themberchaud, or as my friends call him "chonky dragon" is a canonical dragon in Forgotten Realms lore. One of the other parties in the maze was a huge easter egg for older fans: they were the characters from the D&D cartoon in the 80s! And finally, you asked about characters. My first D&D character back in 2nd edition was a Half-Elf Magic User (wizard), and my most recent was in 5e, and he was a College of Swords Bard.
