I don't expect this to be any good, but I'm curious since they didn't go over the top with how the characters look since you're not going to be able to do it like the anime.

Anybody SEE it?

You should not make coffee without caffeine.
You should not make beer without alcohol.
You should not make a live-action version of Dragonball Z.
It can do nothing but SUCK.


With the Ninja Turtles it worked because they dont do particularly awesome things. The live action ninja turtles were awesome, even though on another level as the cartoon.

But you can't transfer the martial arts and special effects of Dragonball Z to live action, or even something approaching it like Avatar style CGI.

It needs to be abstract because what being done, CONSTANTLY, is abstract. Its impossible to do that on a realistic level and not make it look enormously understated, overstated and goofy at the same time.

And sorry to pull the race card but yes, a WHITE GOKU?! And then looking like THAT? I had to freeze frame and take a good look asking myself "is THIS supposed to be Goku?!" Apparently yes :sad:

You can watch it and with some intravenous ketamine its going to be awesome, but its going to be nothing, NOTHING like the real DBZ.  Not because DBZ was that great (it really wasnt) but because DBZ is abstract and you can NEVER convey that to realism.
It doesnt translate.

You either have to wait 30 years and EXPERIENCE Dragonball Z firstperson (or jab some ketamine today and get lucky) or you got to stick with the abstract cartoon with the goofy voice talents.

I don't know why people have a problem with Goku being white in this. He's not even human.:lol:

Good point.

It still looks shite. Bulma doesnt even had turqoise hair :crankey: And you cant have people turning super saiyan and fuckin shit up in live action. And if the bad guy is Piccolo, shouldnt Goku be a kid?

I've recently been watching Dragonball, which is why I remember all this stuff.

Well, you don't expect him to look white for one, but on a more prominent level.. All race aside, who in their right mind casts someone who looks like THAT for the role of Goku?  Why not oh say Weird Al Yankovic?

He looks COMPLETELY UNLIKE GOKU for one.

I stick with my original recommendation, forget all about what this is supposed to resemble, discreetly jab yourself with some intravenous ketamine and this movie might still become somewhat awesome yet. If it even then fails to deliver press the plunger a bit harder and go on your own quest to find the Dragonballs.

I thought Goku was white in the cartoon..A lot of anime shows use white people.

My problem is he's just some average looking high school kid.

I cant even BELIEVE what they did to Piccolo :facepalm:

You know how it is...Movies never go by the original story line.

Also, the new mortal kombat movie supposedly coming out destroyed the plot too.

Imagine a live action Ren & Stimpy.

Some things just dont WORK with realism because their nature is abstract. You shouldnt even try.

A great way to ACTUALLY get this planet blown up in 2012 is to insult the entire gang of Saiyans with this piece of shit movie :lol:

The Bulma thing is stupid. If you look at my Scene Girls thread it's pretty obvious it's not hard to do.:lol:

Yeah, I also noticed Goku fighting Piccolo not as a kid, although I don't remember if they fought early on in Dragonball Z.

If I were to make a live-action Dragonball Z movie, I'd do one not TRYING to have the looks of the anime. Just looks and effect enough to have enough similarity. It'd be like an urban legend based off of something real. This would be the "real" version of DBZ.

(it was a joke :grin:)

Actually, Goku might have fought Piccolo at the very start of DBZ. It depends on whether the film version is King Piccolo or Piccolo.

But the thing about Db being abstract is right.

Yeah, you can't do Ren & Stimpy. A claymation would be good though. Claymation needs to be used more. Those Flintstones claymation cereal commercials are great. I'd love a Flintstones series with that.

Live action DBZ would only be good if Zach Snyder directed it (300, Watchmen, etc.)
