I'll need to chew on that...

...espicially the bike thing. You'd think Son would rather run to school or something.

Yeah well, Gohan's also seen cycling in the second DBZ OP.
But I get what you mean.

@Rocketman: Done.

I was in the process of uploading that picture to Photobucket when you posted it!

Anyway, that supposed quote from the movie really makes me wonder what type of audience the producers are going for. I don't know if the producers know that even though DBZ was watched mostly by kids age 12 and under that most of those people are now in their teens-20's.

That doesn't totally rule out the Bulma meeting, but the "behind the scenes picture" of Bulma holding a gun to Goku's head as if she just met him for the first time in a house does seem to rule out the hope of the movie showing them meet the same as how it happened in the manga.

That would be neat to get an Oozaru reference. But wouldn't that mean he'll have his tail?

This is the Dragonball movie we're talking about here, Goku needing his tail to transform you say? Rubbish.

Your Japanese needs to be MOAR BETTERER! "ドラゴンボール：奴はスパーサイヤ人！？地球のスーパーヒーロー孫悟空！！" ("Dragonball: Yatsu wa Super Saiyajin!? Chikyuu no Superhero Son Goku!!")

At the risk of starting an endless war of corrections, shouldn't that be "スーパーサイヤ人" instead of "スパーサイヤ人"? Either that or "超サイヤ人" with the "スーパー" as furigana.

You should throw a 伝説 in there just for good measure.

Wasn't this movie going to come out much earlier? When the writer's strike was going on I seem to remember this having an earlier release date.

All the new tidbits that are coming out are more and more disappointing. At this rate they may as well just change all the character's names. They are doing whatever they want with it anyway. Why not just change it to "Dragonball 90210"?

They've been moving the release date back for a while.

Probably. I just haven't written much of anything in Japanese for about two months now so I'm a little rusty.

Don't you know of the スパーサイヤ人? They draw their powers from the Allspark. (Horrid pun.) But, yes, let the correction war wage on. (Or not.)

You have the right idea. Throw in an adjective behind the double exclamation marks to make it even more hardcore, while you're at it.

I think I better quit now before this thread gets locked and blame is squared on me. XD

Do mean when the first release date was announced, because it was originally scheduled to come out a couple of months ago, then it was bumped way back to early 2009, and has since been bumped back a couple of times, but only by a couple of days at a time. If I remember correctly it is currently set to release on April 10, 2009 an dhas been for a few weeks now.

The first release date was August 25,2008. Thank god that it got bunked back. More POST-PRODUCTION FTW!!!

Oh, I just checked, guess your right. And from what I read, after reviewing how long it was going to take them to film the movie FOX realized that they would have had no time for post-production had they released the film in August of '08, so it's a very good thing that they delayed the release date, for post-production's sake, but I don't think that they had to delay it that much, especially since they moved it past the day it premiers in Japan by nearly a month.

Yeah, I think that they pushed it back a little too far, as well.

Maybe it was the earliest date they could get? I'm under the impression movies have to "reserve" spaces at the theaters ahead of time and the August date was the one picked well in advance until they realized it wouldn't work out.

Also, that April date is on Easter weekend; that's surely couldn't have been their first or best pick.

Thank to the new high quality version of that old promo image that was recently released I have been able to notice two interesting things.

First off, why does Goku have some sort of tiger standing on a Dragonball on his shirt? I know that we don't even know if this shirt will be in the movie, but this is pretty interesting.

Second (I know this isn't anything major but since it caused such a stir when it was first seen I thought it was worth showing), it seems that Emmy Rossum has a little more blue in her hair than we first thought, which is good.

@ SSJ_Rambo's Goku image

Cuz everyone know tigers make things fiercer. Knowing Justin's shape, he'll need it.

They also make them grrrreat.
You know I never noticed until now that their full name is "Frosted Flakes of Corn". Huh.

Cereal puns aside, I fail to see what tigers have to do with Goku. Wouldn't a turtle make more sense, seeing as he trained under Kamesennin?

Also, anyone else get a weird vibe that they might slash Mai and Piccolo Daimou? That is make them a couple?

The "of corn" thing is throwing me off big time

Also, a turtle would be much more applicable here. Hell, even a dragon would fit better here, plus it would be cool if it was the Shenlong from the anime

Well, he wears orange, and he's strong. I guess that's kind of tiger-like. And he eats tigers when he can find them.

I don't see why it even matters.

So I'm wondering if knowledge of the dragonballs is common place in this movie?

I mean, if people print it on graphic tshirts and stuff...

Wow. That'd be lame. It'd really take away from the mysticism and cheapen the story... aren't the dragonballs supposed to be an ancient legend that few people know about and even fewer believe?
