Yes, the last part of Beowulf is the old king getting killed by a dragon and his people in mourning because they know their enemies will descend upon the land and scatter them Balkan style. But…

The comentary track and bonus scenes on the first one were gold. There's a sequence where Conan is being chased by wolves, but in one of the takes Arnold trips, the wolf overtakes him, and Arnold gets mildly mauled. It's hilarious to watch and even funnier with the commentary.

Also: didn't Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn sort of work this way? As I recall, there was a lot of prophecy, and it wasn't inaccurate per se it just wasn't tremendously useful.
