I can't see it posted anywhere, but feel free to delete this if it is an unnecessary thread.
I feel it's the closest thing we've seen to Goku in this movie so far.

We were already discussing this in the "Live Action Ozaru Goku leaked?" thread. ^^"
My post from there;
Anyway, I'm for once pleased with a photo. The "oozaru" was such a huge dissapointement, but this new photo actually made me smile a little bit

Even though some say it's not, Goku just LOVES to eat and it *is* one of his trademarks if you ask me. ^^ It's nice that they at least have something in the movie which comes straight from the manga.

Maybe it's because I'm posting very early in the morning but doesn't that sort of look like Yamcha's hover bike from the very early episodes...giant wheels aside that is.

There are some resemblances?

Well, I really like this picture. There were a lot of people worried about Chatwin's face expressions as Goku, so i think we can rest a bit easier for a while thanks to this.

Chatwin managed to capture Goku innocent look while eating, eyebrows up, cheeks full of food, at least in this scene. Hope to see more of this..

It looks retarded in a single frame, but I'm sure it looks good when it's... well... actually playing.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Hope? That's certainly something noteworthy, coming from you. In what way does it do that, exactly?
(And do you mean as compared to the animated version, or that the image as originally posted was enough?)

Probably because it's one of the first Movie-Goku images that portray him looking and acting like Goku. We already had glimpses into the strong, heroic, chivalrous side of his character, but this is the first real indication we've got about his goofy, curious, big-appetite'd side.

In addition to the food, I'm liking the bike thing. Nice fusion of the quirky Toriyama technology and real world tech.

Yeah, but that's completely off topic!

Bulma:- OK Goku, I'll go home real fast and get some capsules, you stay here and guard my bike.
She starts walking away but stops and turns around
- and don't touch anything, not even a button!!
She starts walking once more, but again stops, turns , looks at Goku, and decides to go to a nearby restaurant. A few minutes later...
- OK, stay here, eat and guard, and do NOTHING MORE!
And finally Bulma leaves towards Capsule Corp.....
...Goku has followed Bulma all this time with the same expression he has now while eating his tasty chicken. mmmmm..chicken..

He should look like that in school.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

If he really is just a clueless moron in school with wide eyes I will seriously reassess my opinion on this movie.

If this movie turned out to be great, I think I'd enjoy the shock among the fanbase almost as much as seeing a good live action Dragon Ball movie.
Well, maybe I wouldn't enjoy it that much, but still...

I'm not gonna lie, I'd probably throw it in everyone's face if this movie was awesome.

No, in pre-school.
