DragonBall Trailer

[Durahansolo]

Peeps were talking about it in my linkshell the other day, and of course I didn't know it had came out. So I found the trailer and it was like I was speechless. After I regained the ability to speak I immediately said OMG they are gonna mess it up so badly. I lol'd so harshly at Goku's hair as well as Chou Yun Fat as Roshi. However I will most likely go see it though since I liked Dragonball and DBZ/GT. I guess it cant be too much cheezier than Speed Racer but I really liked Speed Racer and TMNT lol. If I wasn't at work I'd grab a link but just so we all know it is out there.

Ok after watching several so called trailers, I came upon this one. It's a cam of it but you get the jist. Durahan can change it when he gets home from work with a better one if he has it.

Good luck to all the DBZ fans out there, you're gonna need it. Hollywood tends to rape and pillage good anime/comic book/etc series all for the almightly dollar.

Re: DragonBall Trailer

I'll see it.

It's obviously not going to be anything like the anime, so I'm going to see it because I have no idea what else it could be about. Maybe they're attempting to reinvent it? I don't know.

They're trying to squeeze the last bit of cash out of the name while the getting's good. They're a little late to the party though, about 3-4 years past the point where you could put cat puke in a tin and slap a SSJ Goku sticker on it and it'd sell 10 billion units.

its kind of like a retelling of the Goku/ King Picalo story.

Re: DragonBall Trailer

Seems just like your regular Hollywood rape-and-retell. Like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (sci-fi flick), I'll go to see it for what it is (wire-fu flick), not because of the name (Dragonball).

I am a huge dragonballz fan, and this trailer (from the looks of it) just almost dashed all hopes I had of this being an ok dbz movie. Where's the guy who played lu kang when ya need him for goku? /sigh

Re: DragonBall Trailer

Yeah I totally would have made this movie twice as awesome were I in charge.


At any rate, of course I have to see it eventually, but this is a NetFlix'er, not a pay $9 at theatre affair.

Spirits Within wasn't a "Hollywood rape-and-retell", Square was directly involved and responsible for that film. And even then it wasn't exactly "bad", it just wasn't Final Fantasy enough to fit the title.

But yes, this Dragonball movie is going to be a major Wire-fu flick. It's being made by the same guys who did Kung-Fu Hustle iirc, and if that's the case this will look really good.

Well then it's a good thing this isn't based off of DBZ. The original Dragon Ball was a very different series then the Super Sayin filled Z, and that's where the movie is coming from. As far as I can tell, the biggest difference between the original story and the movie story is that Goku goes to high school rather then Bulma finding him in the Jungle. But the quest for the Dragon Balls and the fight against King Piccolo still seems to be intact. I just hope the movie can retain the humor from the original DB and not take itself too seriously.

Chuck would be the only survivor at the end of the movie, so it would end a little differently than in the real movie.

Re: DragonBall Trailer

That looks pretty poor... Why aren't thy doing US/English advertising? Probably because they want o test it overseas until they get it right? Anyway, DB/DBZ were some of my favs as a kid, so I hope they don't F it up too bad.
