I enjoy gaming, playing sports, chilling with mates and so forth. I reside in London, UK, and I go to University studying Multimedia Technology & Design (Graphic Design, Web Design. animation etc).
Happy reading!

Prepare to have your childhood r@ped: The DragonBall Movie Trailer
Justice \| 5:25 AM on 10.04.2008	49 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?

kawitchate

i want to know more about this "fwophecy"
(seriously, wtf is with that accent?)

Too Much Coffee Man

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

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

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

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.

Sven Wohl

I just vomited.
Really...

nebones

I'm crying.

Endstiem

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....

Too Much Coffee Man

@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

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

It's so bad I can almost taste it from here.

MrSadistic

Well I'm glad I was the only kid back then to actually not want to watch that crappy show.

Anus Mcphanus

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

HAHAHAHHA....ahhahahahah....man, I'm glad I didn't watch that show to care about this shitty movie.

RonBurgandy2010

What in the fuck was that? That's not Dragonball, that's some Hollywood action movie.

Ian Roberts

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

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

Those explosions were terrible. They looked like pyrotechnics from an old Chuck Norris movie from the 80's.

eternalplayer2345

I just hoped that do move on the sailor moon next and cast all the girls as whiny ass valley girls *vomits*

vexed alex

.............

Arcanum

you've got to be fucking kidding me

randombullseye

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

And people feared the LHC?

jackal27

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

@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

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 >.>

TheDreadHawk

B-Radicate

Ew. Gross.

Maurice Tan

Looks TERRIBLE!

Must see :)

Genki-JAM

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

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

DAY ONE.

Mushman

God, that looks bad.

Aziel13

feck it not even for the Lolz not worth my 6.50

DR EGG

DragonBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hollie Bennett

HAVE JUST RUINED MY FUCKING LIFE, THANKS A BUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buddha

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!?
seriously, what the fuck

fucking waste of time and a disgrace to dragonball

XEROXM3

I wanted so much more but at least it looks better than the DoA movie right?

Char Aznable

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

This is going to be the greatest bad movie ever.

OhJAM

Dragonball is dead /
Toriyama got paid off /
So we could suffer.

- A Haiku by OhJAM

JiR INC

I'm gonna curse and shout throughout this film while watching it then cry while leaving the cinema

SWE3tMadness

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

I am gonna go kick someones puppy now. Maybe that will make me feel better

electricmole

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

can they actually try to cancel the production before its too late? i think they should remake it and think better. xp
