Its rather unrealistic but quite a good action movie. Also good to see an adventure/fantasy film based around Britain, which tends to be rare nowadays.

I'm not sure they did - or are you talking about the game, which I don't know? The Templin film says that nukes didn't stop the dragons. According to the film it was killing the sole male, who had been deep underground until miners woke him that somehow made all the others disappear.
Didn't actually realise when I saw the film that the fortification was in Northumbria and possibly Bamburgh Castle, the most famous one in Northumbria.

Looking at this i always wondered, could a humans survived in the London Underground ore was it to hot for Humans to survive as London was the main nest of the male dragon.  |

Well the suggestion is that there are a fair number of survivors around the world and places like the underground would be suitable for hiding out. The problem as with anywhere would be food supply. If you had a reliable energy supply then possibly a supermarket store or something like that could last for a while provided it wasn't hit by either looters or dragons but sooner or later such supplies are going to run out.
It actually just made me think of a story I read in a comic ~1970. Very similar thing with dragons suddenly appearing and proving immune to just about everything humanity has until one is found dead in the remains of a large freezer. Even then it took a while to find out that the key factor was that ammonia was lethal to them. Very good story and I wonder if it might have formed the trigger for the film?

So how do you kill a dragon with ammonia, have the dragon eat food that is poisoned with it. |

I'm still baffled how the world's combined naval and air forces managed not to defeat the dragons. A dragon crossing over the Atlantic would have been stretched to the limit.

They could have been in hibernation across the globe sins the end of the dinosaurs and they awoke when the male dragon worked up. |

Pass. It was a story in a child's comic. They had to have some weakness. IIRC and its ~50 years ago, a spray of it was suitable toxic.
I would say that's still more realistic than dragons hibernating for ~60 million years then suddenly emerging in large numbers apparently simply to destroy al life on the surface and being pretty much immune to all human weapons. Let alone them all disappearing again when the sole male is killed.  |
