I believe it is a wig of some sort; hair extensions here and there more specifically. It is a shame that her hair isn't exactly meeting the expectations of many fans. However, for what it's worth I think that Emmy looks great.

Ah... Dammit. I thought she was gonna wear a wig?
Well, maybe they tried a blue wig and decided it really didn't look all that good. It's not really known why Emmy-Bulma has mostly brown hair. And, heck, that might be a wig. In fact, I think it is. As far as I know, Emmy doesn't have bangs.

She does look great. If only it were for a different movie. You know, one that would actually be good.

Well, this film might be good. It might be bad. It might be average. Right now, one can't tell. As for me, I'm remaining optimistic. After all, no matter what, at least it's not me doing sock puppets.

Actually, I believe that'd be FAR MORE entertaining than this movie is turning out to be.

Yes. I'm highly opposed to this movie being made.

Based on a lot of things I've been seeing and hearing lately the movie's shaping up to be awesome.

EDIT

Then why are you even bothering to follow it?

Goku's hair doesn't look too bad. My only real problem with it is that it makes Goku seem really concerned with his appearance, that he'd actually spend time gelling his hair like that.

We could just pretend that his hair is just naturally like that, and ignore the fact that hair wax/jell/spray were used. :lol:

That makes me wonder if they'll put in some tiny scene of Chatwin making his hair spiffy for school. God, I hope we won't see anything like that.

I know. But its just that I've seen guys on the street with hair very similar to that, so it just feels like Goku gelled it himself.

And having authentic anime (and manga) style hair wouldn't look like he spent hours gelling it? :lol:

Which is why I thought they would just give him slightly long messy hair, instead of gelled.

We have our first image of "Master Roshi". Any thoughts? I think it's sad he lacks his sunglasses... they were kinda his trademark...

He looks a little too youthful; some facial hair would have helped a tad.
Although I'm not complaining, honestly I don't really care.

It would be nice if he had the shades on, but I don't care about this movie at all.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Disclaimer: The proceding is not an attack on anything or anyone.

Who says he won't have them? Or is it not Roshi if he doesn't have them on every second of every day?

You have quite a few people in positions of influence how have claimed to be fans of the dragonball series, producers and actors and such. And, again, not directing this at anyone particular but it's remarks like this that starts five pages of topic closing posts (at least here, at other forums I wish they would close the topic). Just because a picture or statement doesn't include something that does not mean it won't be there. And just because you have a statement mentioned this doesn't mean that the entire movie is about it.

Anywho, does anyone think that the "Bulma missing her panties" sequence has any chance of showing up?

The problem I have with the movie is it's trying to push DBZ onto an audience that hasn't been exposed to it before. So they try to change it up and make it acceptable... Like the new Batman. Has anyone seen it?!

I do not want that to happen to DB/Z/GT!

I like that he's wearing his trademark Hawaiian shirt but it throws me off that he's not bald. :/

It's a friendly little show with lots of guest stars and yadda yadda. Horrible.

Not-Bald Roshi makes me sad. :(
But then again his alter ego wore a wig so its not completely off to see him with hair.
I will miss the facial hair on him though.



At least he's got the shirt going for him.
