Yeah it's funny how the explosion made Piccolo cork-screw spin into the air.

Anyways, I'm convinced it might be a decent film despite looking like a generic, cliche western martial arts film. Maybe it ain't so bad after all...I never really whined about Piccolo's change of design in the first place and just thought it was gonna be MEH but this looks alright. :P

It looks pretty cool to me but then again I'm not expecting a super perfect adaption like some people. I wanna see the fight where the two guys are coming at Goku with staffs. Also it looks like Bulma is gonna get her hands dirty as well a lot of screen time. Plus! Where was Yamcha at?

I think they decided to just ditch the whole high school thing. None of the cast/director ever talked about it the interviews and it wasn't even in the trailer. Hopefully right ? :?

Pff. Hannah Montana is about to get her ass kicked at the box office that's for sure. I think this movie will get luke warm reviews similar to Fantastic 4, it'll make just enough money for FOX to wanna make Z. That's my call.

Nope, sorry.

That 'staff fighting' scene you want to see looks like Goku's battle with the school bullies. It actually looks like they're at... Prom? (/cringe)
Did I notice two women fighting in prom dresses, too? I think it may be Chi-chi and Mai... but I'm having trouble even pausing on it, it's literally there for less than a second at about 58 seconds in.

It's definitely not a prom...

I think this Promo Reel/Teaser looks pretty decent. It definitely contained nothing to make anyone hate the movie more if you ask me. Looked cool in my opinion, hopefully we get to see more or just a actual version of this, not just a camera on a tv version, in the near future.

It's definitely a party or something, the dresses later in the promo threw me off. Note the bushes strung up with lights and the crowd of kids watching the two bullies take a swing at Goku in front of the yellow car we saw in the initial leaked set photos.
A little before the dress fight, you can see Goku in a suit, dancing and kissing Chi-chi in a dress.

I agree it has to be a party. I don't think it's related to the High School bit though. One of the set reports talked about the movie having a ''festival" and that where Goku and Chi Chi kiss. So...yeah! :D :? :|

Maybe it's before or after the first rounds of the tournament.
