Checking out as many dubs/languages as possible. Although it is not Dragon Ball exclusive (I've even looked up clips of shows like South Park in Japanese, Lilico does a good job at sounding like Cartman despite being the opposite gender of the original actor, or Trey Parker). I found out Yamadera has dubbed the likes of Will Ferrel and Samuel L. Jackson, so I've been trying to find clips of stuff they've done in Japanese. No luck.

Same here. I don't know how many dubs of DB I have already seen.
PD: If you haven't, check Greek. You'll laugh. And if you've already watched it, you'll know what I mean.

"The Army Theme" track from the UK/Canadian Ocean dub is still probably my favourite piece of DB related BGM ever.

I'm with you on the Orange Bricks. They don't look as bad as some like to make out and they certainly suit my needs as a fan.

I would probably like that a whole lot more if it weren't being played almost non-stop for most of the dub. Out of all the recycled Megaman music that's one of the few tracks that's actually pretty catchy.

This has to be the worst opening theme for DBZ ever. And I'm counting every dub in that list.

Oh my god. It sounds like Nappa singing at 1:02! I can't un-hear that. I need to make a bad video of him singing this. Holy poops.

Wait...wha...what in the... ._o

Where did a full version of this song come from? I only ever remember hearing this tune as either a karaoke version, or with the Scott McNeil 'Dragon Ball Z, Z, Z...' audio placed over it in spots. I want to say that was used for the opening of the Bardock special too.

This is pretty much me. I don't know why, but I enjoy the dubbed version of movie #8. Maybe it's Nostalgia...


Actually, I enjoy all of the Broly movies. They aren't perfect, but I've watched them all multiple times...I think I may watch one right now, actually... :lol:

WTF did I just listen to I thought this theme was corny enough without the lyrics but this OMG.

As for guilty pleasures mine would have to be the Harmony Gold dub of DB and FUNimation's dub of DBGT.
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

I like Dragon Ball: Evolution, despite its flaws it had a fun adventure feel to it.

Haha, I remember making a thread about this during my first couple of years on the forum:

What are you talking about? It's hardcore! :lol:

You can't not sing along to it, though.

Yeah, it was used as the opening theme for FUNimation's dubs of both TV Specials as well as in Madman's trailer for DBZ Movie 1. It's almost funny when you watch it with the 'HEAD CHA-LA' opening animation.

I'm tempted to say that it was from that History of Trunks CD, but I'm probably wrong.

EDIT: Ah, yes. Here's something from the thread I linked:
http://www.bingeandgrab.com/dbz.html

So to conclude this post, FUCK ROCK THE DRAGON! It's all about "REPRESENTING THE DRAGON BALL!!"

Oh, guilty pleasures? Uh, English "Real Bands" score for DBZ Movies 4, 5, 8 and the Trunks TV Special. So nostalgic, and it made the movies feel that little bit more special- like they were actually movies for theatres. Also, 'Orange Bricks'. Budget release, cheap, easy to find, easy to pop in and just cruise through the episodes with 'Marathon Mode', has all of the audio tracks to please (almost) everyone and it's something that I wouldn't mind lending to friends.

Don't know if this is allowed but I've read DBZ's hentai :( .

I was downloading from limewire(My first mistake) and it said Goten vs Trunks......

Instead I got Goten and Trunks vs Chi Chi.......ugh

UberBlackMan and RisingSun even mentioned it on a Youtube video once.

Gotenks Vs Super Buu dubbed. That was my favourite fight as a kid and I watched the VHS on it so much, need the nostalgia.

Agreed. I love that fight.

Edit: Nevermind, I misread that as Gohan vs Super Buu. Liking anything about Gotenks is bad, and you should feel bad. :twisted:
