Dragonball Live Action Movie

Overheal · 23-03-2008 7:08am #1

So Im surfing along, looking for a new avatar to replace my kid goku. When Google pops up a few hits for a live action dragonball movie that has begun filming.

As of yet no official trailer or poster has been released. Just a bunch of fan-made crap. IMDB has listed it as official and in the filming stage. Set for 2009 release.

The Internet Movie Database wrote:

A young boy named Goku seeks out upon his grandfather's dying request to find the great Master Roshi and gather all seven Dragon Balls (of which he has one) in order to prevent Piccolo from succeeding in his desire to use the Dragon Balls to take over the world.

The only recognizable actor in it is Chow Yun-Fat, who plays the part of Master Roshi.

Goku is played by the douche who was the son in War of the Worlds.

Here he is in character:

Really the only hope this film has going for it is that fact that Stephen Chow is involved in producing. He was the guy behind Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle and those films very much had the spirit of Dragon Ball in them.

Oh and the girl playing Bulma is pretty damn cute:

I think she turned legal in 2004... it's marked on my calender.

Dakota Fanning turns 18 in February 2012 for those of you waiting...

Why wait?

Hope this film is watchable.

Well if it's even manages to be half as good as this it will be awesome:

Lmao. This is a great watch.

There has also been a Live Action Dragonball made in Hong Kong.

I have a copy on DVD.

This scene is pretty much Goku versus Yamcha... and Puar is a bird instead of a cat..

I didn't know Fez was Goku.

Piccolo is being portrayed by James Marsters AKA Spike the blonde vampire from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I'm still iffy bout this news. Though he could be interesting, if they get the look right. I hope for him they stick to make-up. Cgi would ruin it.

WHY, HORRORWOOD, WHY.
Srsly though.
This is going to be a complete and utter disaster. Chances of win are indeed, very slim.

monkeyfudge · 10-04-2008 12:13am

Oh yeah... Here's the stunt double in costume... man oh man... look at that hair.

im really wary of it being life action...i mean look at final fantasy advent children,in my opinion thats the style of film that would suit dragon ball better...

Overheal · 11-04-2008 12:26am

This is either going to be really really bad, or a cult classic.

and oh yeah this was going to happen sooner rather than later:

I know and guess how many views it has on youtube. Over 2.5 million. Obviously the DBZ community crave the live action movie.

Fan trailers generally just sicken me.... to the core....

Keep praying for the Zelda one. Someday the film industry might realise that all they have to do is browse the net for a while to see what the public want and what will guarantee money, too clever though...

*crosses fingers*
they might as well,they'll be searchin for a new lord of the rings

i still think dragonball would be more suited to 3d animation a la final fantasy though.

Apparently the original Zelda game was heavily influenced by the movie Legend.

Link = Tom Cruise

Wow its all so clear to me now... How does scientology come in though... do you know what I think we will stay away from questions such as that. For safety purposes.
