You do make a compelling argument. We have aliens, apes, and impossible tech, but Bulma still can't get blue hair. But honestly it's the first time I've even thought about Goku's hair in DBE. It seemed natural to me (with the exception of that "trying to gel it down" scene). Thinking back on it, that sort of explains the choice not to make it huge: it would have made Goku look like the sort of guy who craves attention.Tsukento wrote:You people do realize you're talking about a movie that has a BIG GREEN ALIEN IN ARMOR with an Asian woman that can CHANGE HER APPEARANCE as well as a protagonist that can TURN INTO A GIANT MONKEY.SSJ Helldog wrote:Agreed. It's good cosplay (of Goten maybe), but that hair would be laughable outside of a web forum or convention.
Since when was Dragon Ball supposed to be taken as a serious series that was meant to be realistic?
This isn't an American comic book flick we're talking about. We're talking about a Japanese one, where generally everyone has some form of hairstyle you normally can't pull off in real life.

I just wish the spikes were more well defined. They seemed too soft.SSj Kaboom wrote:I think the style Chatwin's hair ended up in was a nice balance.
Even I'll admit any anime hairstyle looks fucking stupid in a live action movie.

THAT explains my awkward experience translating that hentai comic.Tsukento wrote:Which is also why her name became "Milk" in the Mexican dub.

Whereas the JCVD Street Fighter movie in 1994 made $6.8 million it's first weekend (not accounting for inflation) and has a 15% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes ;pTsukento wrote:On another note:
Dragon Ball Evolution received a 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com. It's made $4.7 million on opening weekend. Hannah Montana has a score of 46% and received $34 million.
Make of this what you will.

Was it a dead word back in 1984? Was it at least slightly more vital? Because you're right, I don't think I've ever heard the word 'bloomers' outside Dragon Ball.SSJ Helldog wrote:I think it's primarily that "Chi-Chis" are pretty synonymous with breasts, while "Bulma" just sounds like jibberish. Sure, it's "bloomers," but that's practically a dead word. I had no idea what "bloomers" were until I learned about the DB name puns.

Well in our conversation we were talking about why current American audiences think "Chichi" is funny but don't bat an eye at "Bulma." I imagine in 1984, in Japan, it was a more widely known word, since characters poke fun at Bulma's name early on.Dr. Casey wrote:Was it a dead word back in 1984? Was it at least slightly more vital?

There was an article on Variety saying that the movie is performing exactly how FOX expected it too.Tsukento wrote:Dragon Ball Evolution received a 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com. It's made $4.7 million on opening weekend. Hannah Montana has a score of 46% and received $34 million.

I completely respect your opinion, and I respect you. I enjoyed discussing this with you, even if I don't completely agree.

The Z Warriors' own reaction to the movie (more accuratly, to a particular clip posted here earlier)
I would have it on youtube, but they immediatly killed the video no less than 5 seconds after I uploaded it.
As for my opinion on the movie... I think I'm just going to copy and paste the double dragon gif.

Video that proves they shot more scenes of the final fight.
