Ok, fine, no...

It's better than nothing or what ever it was, I've forgotten already.

So yeah I'm glad to see it's following the script and not the video game or junior novel based on the script.

Hey, I'm a little behind on the Dragonball Evolution. So I found this...

So, did you you guys talk about this? If so, I hope they don't do this!

Yeah, we knew about the sequels

10 days till Japan get to see it, but I didn't know that UK will get it at April 3rd!!

I believe that was discussed a couple pages back.

It seems to hint at Namek. It'd be weird to see how they handle that assload of a saga(And if you go by FUNimation, THREE sagas) into 100 minutes.

It just occurred to me that I never mentioned a pretty big point from the junior novel: nobody can fly yet.

We already know how they handle that: make up their own story, cut out 90% of the major characters, etc.

Yeah... except we see them fly in the trailer :/

The first German Trailer!

Sounds pretty bad. Although it's probably only a trailer dub, which isn't the final one.

Do you? I contend that you don't.

Yes...

And Marsters confirmed they did a stunt that involved flying...

And so did Fox's press book...

And so on...

I've seen one scene from the clips where Goku momentarily hovers in front of Roshi, which is in the book. Everything else is typical wire-fu crap. I'm talking about actual flying. Hell, there's a giant fight near the middle of the story that revolves around the fact that they can't fly.

Ok, look into what I posted. Or just watch the movie and you'll see.

Early DragonBall flight wasn't much more than hovering around in place anyway, so I wouldn't expect more than that from Evolution, either. Real Z-like free flight and zipdey-doos probably won't happen until the sequel.

Justin Chatwin and James Marsters were required to leap from twenty-feet above the Temple’s floor, and appear to “fly” up to some rocky ledges – all with the help of wires and cables, of course. Later, they battled in “mid-air,” suspended in front of a green screen.

There's a difference between actual flying and jumping really high in Dragon Ball.

A new flash game.

Dr. Casey · Post by **Dr. Casey** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 5:37 pm

Hmm. Well, at least the Dragon Ball Evolution franchise got a decent flash game to justify its existence, if nothing else.

I got 2,838 points, what about everyone else?

So.... no new trailer on Street Fighter.... Not surprising though as Fox pretty much set up that movie to bomb.

4145.

So judging by this flash game..the ki blasts in the film will be extremely smokey and misty? That's a drag.

JAPPO · Post by **JAPPO** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 5:46 pm

Yeah lets base it on a flash game now..

Anyway when I did my interview with Ariel Shaw he said everyone will have a distinct type of ki blast. For example Piccolo's energy blasts will be red, Roshi's will be "more mature" (I'm guessing yellow), Goku's will be blue, and the Oozaru-Saiyan hybrid will also have a unique ki.

You can even see in the trailer it's not smoky and misty...
