I've said it before, and I'll say it again: why aren't they wearing pants?

I... don't... know!

Also, that eye in the poster could well be Shen Long's

There is no way that would happen. Fox would use Rock the Dragon as the opening song.

Oh my god!

THAT is the most hilarious thing i have ever seen!

And yeah, that poster has been around for some time. It probably just made by some photoshop guy. I dont think the eye is suposed to be anyone. I just think it is there to make the poster look cool. Besides, it it was real I think they would have written "Dragon Ball Z" on the botom of the poster, not "DBZ".

I've always been quite impressed with that poster ever since I first saw it a while back.

However, in my oppinion the tagline would be better if it said "All you need is seven, and the universe is yours."

That way instead of making a specific reference, it's just making a broad statement about the power of the Dragonballs.

Where the fuck are their pants?!!?

Anyway... I'd imagine a real live-action DBZ movie would still be about the same level of ridiculousness.

Wow, it's seems that everyone is dead set on any Dragonball movie being a steaming pile of fecal matter. I think it's that kind of thinking that stopped them from making it.

To be honest we wouldn't know if it would be any good until they actually made it. There were probably plenty of folks who thought that they could never make a good Lord of the Rings movie or a good X-Men movie or even Spiderman. Who knows they could have gotten a real fan who would have made sure to get it right.

And, I've never seen this before, I think the poster's kinda cool. A little bit of what could have been.

There's a hyphen in "Spider-Man!" A hyphen!

::Pouts::

Anyhoo, like most everyone here, it seems, I've had that poster's .bmp saved for years. It never left me thinking there was actually a movie being made, though. They'd have to do DragonBall first, before any Saiyans were involved.

Also, I see the scouter in the picture now. It always looked to me like some big, round, bionic eye thingy. But now I realize its a scouter...

I always thought that poster was of a Giant Ape form.

Speaking of the Giant Ape form, I think Peter Jackson would have a lot of fun doing a Saiyan arc movie.

Peter Jackson is a Dragon Ball fan?

No, but he's definately a Giant Ape fan.

Yes, I remember that poster from as far back as 2002. For a little while I thought it was real (even though it looked really cheap). I could've sworn I saw that on Funi's website.

I remember this poster appearing on www.dbzsc.com when they were advertising their "DBZ Live Action Movie" feature on their front page. It has since been taken down (the image I mean, the feature still exists and still claims the movie is coming out.

) but if I remember correctly they stated that the image wasn't official art, just something one of them had whipped up in photoshop.

OH....MY....GOD.... I just remember how in another (long, yet better) forgotten forum I use to go to, how the typical DBZ haters used that site information to claim some sort of confirmation of an actual live-action movie only to simply poke at it. Sorry, but ever since those horrid memories I hated how people bought it, that site, & what it did.......Thank goodness for the Daizenshuu EX Forums.

I'm with AnonymousFriend here, everyone seems so pessimistic! Better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all, or something along those lines. I honestly don't see what a bad DBZ movie could hurt. And who's to say it wouldn't turn out to be friggin' sweet? Dragonball Z the live-action movie as a glass of water seems half full to me.

Here's hoping I don't spontaneously combust any time soon. I think DBZ could be a VERY good movie if handled properly.

DBZ MAN · Post by **DBZ MAN** » Tue Sep 05, 2006 9:11 am

I think so too. You only need to have an open-mind about these things. I mean, a while ago I heard that it would be silly because you can't emulate the look but look at what Sin City has done or that new film with Keanu Reeves called 'A Scanner Darkly'. They've managed to give a cel-shaded look to it.

The Matrix was the first real film to give a DBZ feel fight when before that we thought it would be silly, and now it’s been made even better in Kung Fuu Hustle.
So to me I think it's very possible. You have the people on one side who say things can never be done like 'Oh a Spider-man movie will be impossible' and then you have the people who go 'Hmm no, actually, I think this could work' Who are the people who make it happen.

So I'm all up for one.

A Dragon Ball movie is very possible with today's visual effects..I don't think anyone is arguing this. The problem is lots of us believe there would be too many deviations from what makes it Dragon Ball. Of course, lots of comic book-based movies have small differences from the the books, but they can still be good in the hands of the right people. It really comes down to getting a good writer and director, ones that are both familiar with the original material, namely the Japanese DB/DBZ anime and manga.
