I still can't believe a real film studio is making this, with an actual budget and everything. It's going to be worse than that First of the North Star live-action movie.

I'm actually finding the styrofoam behind Goku to be the most disturbing thing in those pics.  Gives a nice Power Rangers vibe.

They're filming it in Mexico.

Jesus Christ, that's like 5 billion dollars there.

CONFIRMED: $100M budget blown on Tijuana hookers and donkey shows.

Wait, so this isn't Dragonball Z? It's the crappy ass little kid Goku story with no Vegeta?

As far as I can tell, it's basically DBZ without the Vegeta/Frieza.

Oh, and I read the script. It ends with Goku and Chi Chi riding off into the sunset on the flying nimbus right after Piccolo explodes. /barf

Despite liking Vegeta and DBZ, it was all pretty much DB again without the charm.  Vegeta and Piccolo pretty much have the exact same character progression (I actually think all the moments they share are an in-joke making fun of how they are the same character).

DBZ also suffered from having enemies that are strong because...well, just because.  I mean, some guy on Earth makes androids stronger than Freiza, the strongest warrior in the universe? what the fuck?

Title: Re: Dragonball movie continues to be true to the anime
Post by: Crushed on September 08, 2008, 01:43:13 AM
well you see he built really tiny flying cameras the size of bugs which followed them around and tracked their strength and analyzed their moves, they were present the whole series but you never noticed them

This discussion is definitely powering up toward SSJ3 wild homo, but yeah, I always thought that was a pretty wtf moment. I could understand Cell being powerful, since he was made with everyone's DNA, but not the androids. Of course, Toriyama originally never planned to go further in DBZ than Freeza, so I guess he had to come up with some shit in a hurry.

Post by: MrAngryFace on September 08, 2008, 01:54:59 AM
I thought it was funnier that SPACE CYBORG FREEZA could be beaten in a second by Trunks, but not the earth andoids. So I am to believe that all of space couldnt create androids stronger than the ones made on earth? Technically I think only one of the Androids was full blown robot. The two kids were cyborgs and Cell was some kind of..weird bioweapon lol

I have never questioned a DB/DBZ plot moment.  Ever.
Title: Re: Dragonball movie continues to be true to the anime
Post by: cool breeze on September 08, 2008, 02:02:00 AM
I also liked that Vegeta's attack when he fight fought Goku was capable of destroying the Earth, but the billions of other stronger attacks later in the show doesn't even phase it, yet they still are strong enough to damage the other super powerful fighters.

DBZ also contains some of the most accurate time travel out there.  The way it works is: coming to the past takes you to a different past, yet going back to the future takes you back to your original future.  There are basically 3 or 4 time lines going and none of them make sense.
Title: Re: Dragonball movie continues to be true to the anime
Post by: MrAngryFace on September 08, 2008, 02:07:33 AM
Maybe they are going off the idea that the future is actually infinite dimensions branched off of infinite possibilities within any given moment. That of course complicates the idea of going back in time.

I think that no matter where you think that the series got stale, everyone can agree on one thing: the Buu saga had absolutely no redeeming qualities.

No, SSJ3 and fusions do not count as "redeeming qualities."

The best part of the Buu saga was that they introduced all these new (and old characters) that you would think would be the ones to finish Buu off, that included Gotenks, Vegetto, a new powered up Gohan, but in the end everyone turns out to be worthless and Goku saves the day himself (which goes COMPLETELY against why he let Buu win the first time around).

Whatever.  He came out of nowhere and died by just holding off the random mutant guy by shooting him until he eventually wore himself out and collapsed.  Did you see the veins on his head? that is badass effort right there.  It also was cool because this was DBZ basically was "unless you are an alien or android, you're weak as shit".  HUMANs!!

Agreed, Tien holding off Cell was awesome.

Another awesome fight in that saga was Android 17 vs Piccolo.

I remember when they introduced Cell, I watched a few episodes (a local tv channel broadcasted one episode per day) , went to Tokyo to visit my girlfriend, stayed for a month, came back, and they were still fighting Cell. Even more tiresome was the fat pink bastard, i think that battle lasted even longer...  :maf

Original DB was nice, though. More storydriven, more interesting characters, less fighting for months, less serious tone.

Goten and Trunks are terrible because they become SSJ before they can even wipe their own butts.  At least for Gohan they kept playing up the angle that he was special some how.

Despite living in the states, I watched all of DB (DB/DBZ/DBGT/Movies/Special) on bootleg VHS tapes that were poorly subtitled at the resolution of my thumb.  Still, the music alone made it much better than the one in America at the time.  This was also still around the same time that Toonami would constantly replay the same damn episodes over and over and never continued after Goku got to Namek, so I got pissed and ordered them.
Title: Re: Dragonball movie continues to be true to the anime
Post by: Himu on September 08, 2008, 05:04:20 PM
Yeah, I watched DBZ before it was put on toonami. they would repeat the episodes over and over and I always rewatch, every saturday.

I eventually got pissed off to the point where me and some friends ordered some fansubs and read dbz fansites and knew the whole story before they aired in the us. lol

Oh, and I loved those vhs fansubs. they would always cuss and shit, and for some reason i thought that was so cool at the time.

Oh man, I know exactly what you are talking about.  In the movie where there are three new androids, I still remember the scene where Vegeta grabs the guy and says something like "Piss off you asshole!" before going super.  I was so used to shit like "I'LL SEE YOUS IN THE NEXT DIMENSION!"

yeah its takes another 3 episodes or so before Goku even punches him

It took him 5 eps just to scratch his balls once
