I don't quite know for sure if this has been posted....

as a kid I used to be a fan of this just like many all over the world... and I have to say I don't know how to feel about this movie...

until I see it for sure I'm going to go ahead and say that this movie will kill Dragon Ball as we know it.... I mean having Justin Chatwin as goku... i dont know...

Chow Yun Fat as master roshi? What happend ot the baldness, the beardness, an the goofy looking glasses? WTF is gonna play piccolo? You can't fucking make a live action movie after an anime. The looks do not match.

Hollywood grasping at straws to make money now. The Toonami generation is what, like 25 years old by now? No ones going to see this, the people that made the show popular back then are older now and just won't care enough to see it.

It's going to be matrix style fighting or something new. The only thing we can hope for is it pushes the genre of martial arts enhanced by computer technology.

Anime fight scenes cannot be transposed into real film..........or can they?

Dragonball/Dragonball Z had some pretty mature scenes/situations/subjects, but it was heavily condensed in the English dub to suit younger audiences. Same thing with Yugioh, it dealt with the occult and religons/mature topics, but that was super duber uberly condensed to fit younger audiences here.


HOwever, this film is set to fail on epic porportions.

Dude... Dragon Ball came out in 1986... and it became a huge deal...

If you don't know about it i don't know what kind of cartoons you were into... but you have to check it out now... id still do it...

best cartoon ever as a kid...

What pissed me off about the cartoon is that in the duration of a full episode, it was really like 5 minutes of the event taking place.

Here is Goku vs Superman, didn't wanna make a new thread adn thought this was the best place to put it. It's a good fight, but the thought of Superman being able to fight Goku is laughable. Goku would kill superman with a goddamn punch.

100 hit combo only takes out half of Superman's life bar and then like immediately after that he does a 16 hit combo and it takes out about half of the remaining bar (so like 25% of the total bar). So let me get this straight... four 16 hit combos would be a KO in that game (64 hit total) but 100 only is only 50% damage?

Dude, wtf?

The game is Mugen and it is basically a free for all, if you got the skillz you can techinally put yourself in the game as a character. There are plugins and updates for nearly every single character EVER. Ryu, Ken, Liu Kang, Fat Albert, Homer, Peter Griffen, the chicken who doesn't like Peter, Krusty, Stewie, Goku, Vegeta, Rugal, Steve Urkel, Mario, Zelda, Pikachu, Kirby, mostly any major/minor video game/cartoon character you can think of is in this game. It's for the PC. Also the levels, background music, and power/health bars are all customizable.

Also the reason Goku does so damage depends on the programming of the character, there are some characters who can beat people with 1 attack, they are usually just made for challenges for people to beat with normal character. Also in that video for the most part Superman was invulernable to most of his attacks except his crazy combos. Here's some videos

Anyone that is interested in owning Dragonball Z anime on DVD, I can sell you copies of the whole series, all of the movies, plus the original series Dragonball and Dragonball GT for only $50 plus the cost of a 100 pack DVD-R spindle. It takes 94 discs. It's completely uncut in Japanese, but it has no subtitles or English language version. Actually if anyone has the English version or subtitles for it, I'd love to put them on these DVDs but I have no idea how.

But IMO the English version is really bad. The translation is awful and not really accurate at times.

I have all 291 Episodes with English subtitles pretty good quality and most of the movies with subs as well except movies for 1,2,4,10,11. I also have the fairly uknown OVA. I got them via torrents.

When you download the initial program all it is is a character select screen with 1 character and 1 level and no BG music, so you are gonna have to do a lot of manual work by searching and finding characters, levels, skins, and music. So as sort of a head start download a pre rendered MUGEN off a torrent like this:
http://www.mininova.org/tor/801429
or this
http://www.mininova.org/tor/1085526


Then customize it like you want by searching on the net. If you need a tutorial go to youtube and type in Mugen tutorial. The guy has a douchey voice, but it helps.

I agree... I watched it from the Mexican channels and they had all of the series before cartoon network did.. and in my opinion translated better... I just couldn't stand watching it in English... just wasn't the same.

These are the characters so far..
James Masters is the one who plays Piccolo.
Master has said that he signed on for 2 more movies, suggesting
that he will be in the DBZ saga.
From what I know, Goku is a student and meets the majority of the main
characters there.
Sorry about the large pics, didnt know how to make them smaller.

Here's Masters on the piccolo, dbz and how 20th Century Fox has told him not to speak about the film or what happens.

Man, this movie looks bad, and that's even trying to give it the benefit of the doubt.

The actors don't look like the characters.
The storyline has already been mangled.
The costume design looks nothing like the original series.
Chow-Yun Fat as Master Roshi is a sellout and a joke.
Even the Dragonball doesn't freaking look right.

It's like they are taking the names and characters and throwing them in a completely different environment.

I'm pretty sure they done fucked this one up already.

What do you expect when they try to make a live action film based on a cartoon with spikey haired characters and aliens? This is probably a nightmare for the costume and makeup department on this film. And it won't have a LOTR/Star Wars type of budget so it is bound to suck.

I know they're not going to give the gigantic sparkling eyes and make their hair actually blue and stand three feet tall, but at least find actors who actually RESEMBLE the character they are supposed to be representing.

Bulma and Chi-Chi are about the only two that might hit the mark. Then you've got some baby-faced Shia LaBeouf wannabe playing Goku. And I'm glad that Chow Yun-Fat knows karate and all, but thats about the only resembles he has to Roshi. There aren't any gray-beared geezers acting these days?

Trust me, I already expected this movie to suck. I just didn't expect them to TRY to make it suck.
