This whole thing is just leaving me very confused. I don't know whether to be for this or against it. -_-

I think the "OVER 9000!!!" scene is going to be hilarious will real people.

No, I don't think the movie covers that Saga. Piccolo is the villain?

Regardless, this is going to be absolutely terrible and that is what interests me.

Marsters looks like a pretty good choice for Piccolo, actually. The other kids looks waaaay too young, though. Then again, it does depend when the movie takes place. Since it's Z, though, and not Dragon Ball (although according to that site linked above the name was changed to Dragon Ball, hmmm...), Goku should be a lot older (and have some fucking muscle).

But yeah, this sounds fucking awesome.

Wait, what? They're making another Dragonball Live Action Movie?

Like the first one wasn't ridiculous enough. People just don't learn.

EDIT: For those who haven't seen it, I couldn't let this opportunity go to waste.

Yes, I've seen that first live-action film.. Don't recommend it. It was so bad that.. well it was just bad. Not even funny-bad.

About this movie.. As I said actors look fine by me, at least faces (and I'm huge db-fan). But I'm really worried about their size. Also these guys aren't martial artists, so their fighting won't be very fluent (Some awesome matrix-like shit, no doubt).

I did hear rumours some time ago about the story. Apparently Goku goes some high-school or something and is bullied all the time. But in his spare time he's actually an incredible kung fu- man and trains with his uncle Gohan.. or something. Then there's dragon balls and blah blah .. Bulma .. blah blah, then there's evil army lead by Piccolo, who actually doesn't appear all green, rather human-like, still alien though. And something.. I sure hope it's not true, but it's very likely they won't be going with the original story. My guess is that they'll base the movie on original dragon ball, change stuff (like Goku being 18 or something) and squeeze it to 2 hours.

So yes,DBZ fans are going berserk no doubt, but I try not to take this too seriously.

Man this could be great haha

No man. This WILL be great. I am now eagerly awaiting this masterpiece. Even if it fails... I know it will be so horrible that it will still be worth the watch.

That may be true... but I never had an interest in watching Snakes in the first place... so I wouldn't know. But a Stephen Chow movie on the other hand... about DBZ of all things... man... I just know this is going to turn out to be something special.

Why did you compare this to Snakes on a plane? Makes no sense.. I don't see any link between the two. There's no sign that they would make this intentionally non-intentionally funny? Stephen Chow in, I have high hopes for this. As comedy yes, but not in a sense as Snakes on a plane.

Because dragon ball z is the worst shit in the world. It doesn't matter who makes it; almost everyone knows it's going to be terrible shit. Most people just hope it'll be REALLY FUNNY so they're hyping it. Exactly like with snakes on a plane, which turned out to just be terrible and not funny at all... which is probably how this will be.

I am very hopeful this will be hilarious though!!

Haha true about the actors.. but come on! You're getting practically 'no name white guys' (Well obviously they're not no name and they've done some films/shows in the past) and I know that its an American made film but they couldn't get asians that actually slightly resemble what the DBZ characters look like?

Like maybe Jet Li for Vegeta, and if you've seen the movie War, there were plenty of actors in that movie that would have been 100000000000000x more fit/better for the roles of DBZ chars than those 2 in the link I saw, like one of those samurai warriors in War would have made a PERFECT Goku (As soon as I saw white guys... I thought to myself that this movie might be some shitty joke... Either that or the people who chose these actors are fucking terrible at what they do)..

And I know the actor of Liu-Kang in the first live action Mortal Kombat movie is much older now and his physique has dramastically worsened but basically the look that the Liu-Kang actor had in MK1 way back in the 90's would have been a PERFECT Goku... So they should have went out and got someone like him to play the role...

This is a perfect Goku like character IMHO. Goku is supposed to be jacked, not a skinny bitch like that actor in the link... Same goes for Piccolo. They're all supposed to be jacked

I take it you're talking physically, because I'm pretty sure Jet Li looks nothing like Vegeta. I'd probably say the guy playing Goku has a similar face, considering he doesn't have giant eyes or extreme hair.

lmao why would they have to be asian

By the way revolution, it's common for actors to train for their role in any given movie. People aren't hired for BEING JACKED dude. do you seriously think every musclebound guy in a movie has looked like that his entire life? also none of the characters look asian at all besides like krillin, and having extensive training in martial arts won't help anyone fire a kamehameha. ugh wait why did I respond to that post

Anyway, I'll probably see this regardless. this'll probably be pretty big when it finally comes around, and unlike transformers or other recent live-action films, almost no one expects this shit to be good
