Line 5:
[[Big Bad|The Lord of Darkness]] plots to cover the world in eternal night. He sends his servant, the goblin Blix, to kill the light-bringing unicorns and take their horns. The unicorns only appear before the pure of heart, so a lure must be used. Enter Jack and Princess Lily, pure denizens of the forest. When the stallion is killed, Jack and Lily are separated as snowstorms envelop the world. She and the mare are captured by the forces of Darkness, and he must band together with the woodland fairies to rescue her.

Line 11:
* [[All Just a Dream]]: At least, Lily ''thinks'' so when she wakes up at the end of the [[Directors Cut]], and Jack doesn't confirm or deny it. She doesn't get to see Jack waving goodbye to the elves and unicorns after she's left. The theatrical edition changes the ending completely, and she sees them together with Jack.
* [[As Long
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Lily's "Bride of Darkness" outfit.
* [[Annoying Arrows]]: Darkness takes a few from Gump and Jack and he doesn't even slow down.
Line 23:
* [[Dancing Pants]]: The dark dress.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: David Bennent was about 18 when he played the boy-elf Gump.
* [[Distracted
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Lily.
* [[Engagement Challenge]]
Line 69:
* [[Redubbing]]: In English, the voice of Gump was done by the same actress who played Blix; in German, he voiced both.
** In fact, all of the forest scenes had to be dubbed over in post-production because the noise on the set was so loud, according to Mia Sara on the Ultimate Edition DVD.
* [[Rhymes
* [[Riddle Me This]]: "What is a bell that never rings, yet its knell makes the angels sing?" The answer is {{spoiler|silver bells, the flower}}.
* [[Rump Roast]]: Blix uses the unicorn horn to set one of the other goblin's butt on fire.
Line 80:
* [[Unicorn]]
* [[Virginity Makes You Stupid]]
* [[Weakened
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Scott's film originally ran much longer and had a number of scenes deleted from it, at least two of which were not included in the director's cut.
** The first involved an alternate opening sequence wherein the goblins encounter the unicorns, represented as light beams, and report back to Darkness. For the most part, this sequence is uninteresting but for two elements: one, features ''four'' goblins (the fourth, Tic, comes to a [[Dropped a Bridge
** The second is an extended version of the scene by Jack's fire wherein Gump is even ''less' forgiving of Jack than in the director's cut, using his violin to magically force Jack to dance before making him answer the riddle. This explains Jack's sudden sweatiness and seeming exhaustion between shots in the finished version, and why Gump refers to him as "riddle-solver, dancing fool and faerie-friend". On the Blu-Ray the scene is represented by stills and storyboards over the surviving soundtrack. A couple of behind the scenes shots are also seen in the accompanying [[Making Of]] documentary.
** There are also elements from the original script which Scott never even attempted, such as Lily's encounter with a "house brownie" (like the ones in ''[[Willow]]''), Lily transforming into a humanoid cat creature, Darkness growing huge bat wings during his battle with Jack, and a final revelation that Jack is actually immortal.
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]
* [[What Happened to
* [[Woman Scorned]]: Oona.
