I want to believe that it will work but my instincts tells me that there is very little chance that this is going to be remotely good.

If they get a 'KAKAROTTTTT!!!' = Win

It's not even remotely like the original, what are they thinking.

My lighthouse has already spotted the failboat.

In an ideal world, this would rock, however it isn't so it won't.

James Marsters as Piccolo is a fantastic choice however

Wow anther anime/cartoon to film whats next thundercats (I claim the idea!!), actually that might work :rolleyes:

Gatchaman, the people dressed as birds with spaceship etc and astroboy, cg, are due within the next year or so so obviously the US has lost all creativity

Well some of the cast isn't bad in dragonball chow yun fat and james masters aren't exactly bad actors and atleast theres something nice to look at in emmy rossum.

Did anyone else want one of the snowmobiles with wheels on

EDIT: looks like you can add thundercats to the list above, already been nabbed in 2007 by the looks of it!

I was obsessed with Dragonball when I was younger. Its perfect money-raking material from young teenage boys around the world. Power level readers, energy power blasts, tranformations, epic fights that can destroy the planet, etc... its pure gold.

However a live action movie will fail majorly

...it works for an animation and because its Japanese, but to actually get overly dramatic actors to go through the motions and screams and cheesy dialog... I cringe just thinking of it.

I remember them going on about this movie since i was about 14. I take it they finally got around to making the damn thing then.

Does it feature a lecherous old man?

Thought it was meant to be the original Dragonball where Goku is a boy(?) rather than Dragonball Z onwards. Which in my opinion, is a mistake.

Never had any interest in Dragonball....but I'll be seeing this just for James Marsters

DBZ was great, except the fights were drawn out soooooooooo long

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*Cut to other fighter

AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*Cut to same scene we've seen before where they kick each other at a speed which looks like a humming bird is flapping it's wings

*Repeat throughout middle of epsiode.

Oh dear god...
"Pre-green Piccolo"

Everything about it is a fail. Even Master Roshi (Cho Yan Fat) is a fail - miserable attempt at bringing orients to the film where the main cast are "hollywood".

Looking at those screenshots, it gives me pain. It must be how it feels when Bollywood copied elements of The Matrix and cast them with all Indians and the odd Caucasian.

Heres a trailer;
