Prepare to have your childhood r@ped: The DragonBall Movie Trailer
Justice | 5:25 AM on 10.04.2008 47 comments




It looks better than expected, yet it still looks like it's going to suck. Possible future shitty movie night film? Apparently Ron Perlman was offered the role of Piccolo, but he turned it down to star in Hellboy 2. Also why isn't Piccolo green!

Anybody actually interested in seeing this?

i want to know more about this "fwophecy"
(seriously, wtf is with that accent?)
Too Much Coffee Man's Destructoid Blog
It's by FOX of course it's going to suck. FOX is infamous for ruining comic based movies.

Too bad Warner didn't get it.
Vitamin Awesome's Destructoid Blog
I knew this was ruined when I first heard about it. They may as well go all the way with the ruining.

Also, no oolong?
ceark's Destructoid Blog
of course it's ruined. what kind of white guy has a name like goku? Yeah. I usually don't care that hollywood is dominated by white lead characters but casting a white dude for an asian role? that's pretty fucking lame.
phantasmist's Destructoid Blog
Man this looks worse than that time I got drunk with a pregnant moose (queue family guy overused flashback).

But yeah, really though that made me die a little on the inside. Besides they need midget Krillin.
Subenu's Destructoid Blog
I just vomited.
Really...
nebones's Destructoid Blog
I'm crying.
Endstiem's Destructoid Blog
The worst part is that it is being produced by Stephen Chow. If there was anybody I would have chosen to do the license justice, it would have been him.

Ah... oh well. We always have Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle....

@ceark

Goku is an alien, he's not Japanese. He's named goku because his ship landed in Japan. Master Roshi however was Japanese, & is being played by a Chinese actor.

But somehow I think those will be very minor issues compared to how bad the rest of it will be.
Justice's Destructoid Blog
That's true TMCM, he's a Saiyan, unless you count the fact that the story is based on the Chinese Legend of the Monkey King, but you are technically right there.
ZeroTolo's Destructoid Blog
It's so bad I can almost taste it from here.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Well I'm glad I was the only kid back then to actually not want to watch that crappy show.
Anus Mcphanus's Destructoid Blog
I saw a bootleg of this the other day which had no sound... maybe it was better that way... or maybe it was better off not being made at all...

Also where is Chi Chi? and how come there was not one kamehameha? That would have been the obvious closing shot for the trailer.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
HAHAHAHHA....ahhahahahah....man, I'm glad I didn't watch that show to care about this shitty movie.
RonBurgandy2010's Destructoid Blog
What in the fuck was that? That's not Dragonball, that's some Hollywood action movie.
Shakey1245's Destructoid Blog
Endstiem: Producer/Director/Writer doesn't mean a thing to 20th Century Fox for a good example of this read about the trouble they caused with they're constant medling with Xmen Origins: Wolverine.
the GAMEGOBLIN's Destructoid Blog
It's so generic hollywood action it's not even funny. Big explosions, women with cleavage showing, elaborate martial arts scenes, even the fucking trailer has that "go to black, play a bang and show something" that every other trailer has. Fuck, even the logo at the end is incredibly generic
RICHARD BLOCKER's Destructoid Blog
Those explosions were terrible. They looked like pyrotechnics from an old Chuck Norris movie from the 80's.
eternalplayer2345's Destructoid Blog
I just hoped that do move on the sailor moon next and cast all the girls as whiny ass valley girls *vomits*
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog

Arcanum's Destructoid Blog
you've got to be fucking kidding me
randombullseye's Destructoid Blog
I want to see this. Way to please the REAL fans of a cartoon by changing the aesthetics, mentioning a "prophecy," and just making the movie look like any other action movie.
STUVNING's Destructoid Blog
And people feared the LHC?
jackal27's Destructoid Blog
This is going o be EPIC!! Hahaha, I've known this movie was going to be bad from the start, but I'm still going to enjoy it, even if it's for how bad it is.
Usedtabe's Destructoid Blog
@Ceark: Then it must really piss you off that Ludacris was given the role of a older white man in the Max Payne movie. And most likely to fill some stupid race quota for the film, as it is apparently obvious Ludacris has zero acting talent.

On topic: My childhood isn't ruined. I thought dragonball z was horrible. I had friends that liked it, and from what I saw while they would watch the show, this movie bothced it. A show this over the top should have been an animated movie anyway.
skull13666's Destructoid Blog
yeah i have NO faith in this movie what so ever but ill still be in theaters to see it, JUST to say i did. wish i saw speed racer in theaters >.>
B-Radicate's Destructoid Blog
Ew. Gross.
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Looks TERRIBLE!


Must see :)
Genki-JAM's Destructoid Blog
Oh geeze... This is going to be so bad, so OF COURSE it'll be a ShiMuNi movie! I'm tempted to see it in theaters, but that would only give fox money for producing this SHIT. So I'll either bootleg it for ShiMuNi, or pay to see another movie and then see DragonBall. Either way, that shit's going to be in ShiMuNi FOR SURE.
Rockvillian's Destructoid Blog
I thought the kind of filmmakers that took an existing cartoon and put a modern "spin" on it to make it relevant to the current hotness died out from an asteroid.
GohanGVO's Destructoid Blog
DAY ONE.
Mushman's Destructoid Blog
God, that looks bad.
Aziel13's Destructoid Blog
feck it not even for the Lolz not worth my 6.50
DR EGG's Destructoid Blog
DragonBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hollie Bennett's Destructoid Blog
HAVE JUST RUINED MY FUCKING LIFE, THANKS A BUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buddha's Destructoid Blog
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!?
seriously, what the fuck







fucking waste of time and a disgrace to dragonball
XEROXM3's Destructoid Blog
I wanted so much more but at least it looks better than the DoA movie right?
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
fwophecy.

Utter bullshit. Did this really need to be made in the first place? I would almost pity the people that pay to see this.
TrailerParkJesus's Destructoid Blog
This is going to be the greatest bad movie ever.
OhJAM's Destructoid Blog
Dragonball is dead /
Toriyama got paid off /
So we could suffer.

- A Haiku by OhJAM
JiR INC's Destructoid Blog
I'm gonna curse and shout throughout this film while watching it then cry while leaving the cinema
SWE3tMadness's Destructoid Blog
I think the only things it shares in common with the actual Dragonball franchise are the dragonballs, and the characters' names.

Other than that, it doesn't look anything like the anime. o.O
zavage's Destructoid Blog
I am gonna go kick someones puppy now. Maybe that will make me feel better
electricmole's Destructoid Blog
i thought dbz movie would look like transformer but this one looks like DOA to me. what were they thinking? now why can't they hire decent actors and directors to make this legendary popular anime.
electricmole's Destructoid Blog
can they actually try to cancel the production before its too late? i think they should remake it and think better. xp
