They won`t ever look the same. You have to think in 3 dimensions, not just two. What you should do is trying to get where Toryama went looking for the inspiration in drawing Ten and it`s obvious that it was with the shaolin monks.

He looks like Ten. The yamcha actor looks like the character. They aren`t exactly the same, but that is just impossible.

Hey here's a video of the guy playing Tien in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBz6Il9-rDQ I'm sure he'll do just fine in the trailer now.

I like the guy playing Tenshinhan. After this and the video of Vegeta and Goku training I have faith in the actors martial arts skills.

I guess these people have something against wrist bands? So much for accuracy, and on such a simple task.. lulz

I liked what they did with Chiaotzu very impressive.

Yes, when it's basically part of your project tagline; "live action DBZ done right". They keep preaching how they are going for an authentic experience with a faithful script, correct costumes, etc. :roll:

That Chiaotzu is the stuff of nightmares. By far the creepiest thing I've seen in a long time. He's not really the type of character that belongs in a live action movie. Also as nit picky as it seems, TheDevilsCorpse has a point. If you're going to boast accuracy and faithfulness you might as well go the full mile. I can't see a reason to not have wrist bands.

All this but the last line. This Chiaotzu is creepy, VERY creepy but just because the eyes look dilated and the cheeks are far too cartoony. I liked what they did with Yamcha because he was more real life looking. maybe if they didn't look like pure red circles maybe something more faded it would be better. And idk how to change those eyes.

Yes I admit it sounds nit picky. lol Hell, I wouldn't even consider it that big of a deal if they were leaving out some sort of item that was super expensive or hard to make. I mean, I don't like the armor they used for Raditz, but I can kind of understand how it would be hard to fashion one quickly and on a budget that not only looks good, but accurate as well. But, in the case of the wristbands, you can go to a lot of stores and pick up a pair of those cheap wrist sweat bands for like $2. It just seems like a pointless detail to overlook for no apparent reason when they're boasting accuracy and faithfulness for everything else...

Chaozu just kinda looks like a bad cosplayer to me. It is forgivable since it just Chaozu(or however the other spelling goes), though. Not anywhere near as good as Yamcha and Tenshinhan.

Chiaotzu is spooky which is good. I really want to see all of them together in a group shot now!

I always thought a live-action Chiaotzu wouldn't work, although IMO they actually did a pretty good job here, I like it. Well done!

'Cuz I just did.
After that they removed all my comments and blocked me. Seems like they dont like people saying how much trouble they can get into with this project.

Now I do commend them on at least trying to make something with this, but doing it the wrong way will never work out.

They have done similar things to people like myself and others who have, in the least, given them slight warnings about their foray into the copyright infringement world. They have blocked EVERYONE who has mentioned this. To the last person. Unfortunately for them, there is no "block" button for a lawsuit.

Judging by their lack of intellect on actual law and their inability to formulate cohesive sentences, these guys have no idea what they are in for. Their defense is weaker than ever.

Tons of people steal pens from the bank, even some by honest accident, and there is no real punishment. These guys have walked into the bank's supply and taken boxes of pens, enough to make some wonder what's next---the vault? - My metaphor for the day.

The money spent on making him look bald would've been better spent on shaving his head bald and giving him a voldemort. Or better yet, and this one is a stretch, shaving his head bald and only spend money on making the 6 dots.
