That clip seems to be cut a bit. In the begining of that deleted scene Gohan tells Goku that he needs to focus on one point and that he should focus on the tree, then the scene you posted starts.

Also in the car scene, Fuller tells Goku "there better not be a scratch on my car from that piece of shit bike". But it's not in your clip.

Oh ok, thought maybe you ripped it from your DVD. No worries then.

Thanks for the write-up Tanooki. I liked the deleted scenes you and Bura posted, I don't know why they were cut.

Now that I think about it, Justin Chatwin as Goku reminds me a little of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker.

I disagree. Chatwin's Goku was mostly the fault of writing. Christensen's Anakin was poor acting.

Hayden wasn't horrible, but he wasn't good either. And the prequels writing left a lot to be desired.

I feel the same about Chatwin. He wasn't horrible, but he definitely wasn't the best person for the job. And the writing was even worse than the Star Wars prequels.

I heard this movie had received a 2 Disc treatment, which pissed me off to hear for what this movie is and how it was received.
A friend from ZIA Records had reported this... apparently I or she were mis informed.

Hell, not even Speed Racer got as many special features as this! two options and both seem about as bad as "Goku's Workout" with no deleted scenes.
I often said that I felt like I was taken seriously for purchasing Speed Racer on DVD with the "extras" the give... pity too 'cus I really do like THAT movie a lot! (way more than the movie under discussion)

That being said, the features seem "shallow" on here... nothing too "over the top" or fun... no dialog about adapting from the original source (or even an "introduction" to the original source. Unlike the AniMatrix features where it had an "Intro to Anime" sorta feature in its listing), commentaries, interviews and so on. There's a new Garfield movie trailer listed in the Special Features too!
Anyway, the menus do look quite nice (I saved the one of Bulma on the Special Features :3) .

And the Oozaru transformation is even uglier than I remember it! WOW!

Are the "Fox Channel Presents" features any good or worthwhile?

Anyway, I like the large Recycle logos, almost seems like a subliminal message as to what to do with your purchase ;)


I have just finished watching Mortal Kombat and am about to start up Enter the Dragon :)

Well, I thought Hayden was awesome playing as Anakin in Episode 3. His acting, his emotions, his tone all were very good. I was impressed with it. Much better than previous epsiode. Only if Fox had better casts and scripts for Dragon Ball Evolution, everything would have been perfectly fine. I can't believe everyone's dream has been crushed. I mean the accouncements for DB live action was kinda bigh and everyone seemed a bit excited about it. Now they vomited in disguisting.

I still feel as though Vader's "image" he had from Episodes 5,6, and 7 are now completely ruined thanks to his "development" as Anakin in 1,2 and 3.
He went from ultimate badass with seemingly unlimited powers; dark mysterious being.... and all that is replaced as he is actually just build up with angst and aggression :cry:
3rd film was best out of the new trilogy.
"Jar Jar Binks makes the Ewoks look like Shaft" is still a great quote from SPACED.
I still like McGregor as Obi-Wan and the Qui-Gon Jin (Sp?) and Darth Maul characters.

but enough about Star Wars:
Tanooki Kuribo wrote:So I decided to make this clip showing one of the deleted scenes. Its funny though, no scene was actually cut, just that some parts in the scene were edited. Here is an example of that with Goku and Bulma first meeting.

The original unedited clip is first then the second clip is how it was shown in the actual movie. Sorry for the crappy ass quality, yes it's being recorded by a digital camera.

"P.E.E.? Thats nasty"
?!!! Wha?!

This is a good example, however, of how the film was edited to run at a shorter length.

Oh wow, it's out already? I've been thinking about picking up the blu ray.
Well no, I should clear that up. There is a store by my house that if you ask for a DVD before the release date and they have it, they'll sell it to you even though it's not out. Yes I know they aren't suppost to do that but hey, it's NY. :? It comes out next week.
There is a record store out here that was carrying Watchmen on the shelf for maybe about a week before actual release date.
My friend, earlier mentioned who work as ZIA went and picked up a copy (after I told her they were there) and then noted that she "hopes they get fined $10,000"

Hard to say... everyone was kinda "overacting" especially with physical acting and facial expressions... its really hard for me to gauge Chatwin as a "decent actor" or not based on the film.

I would say the writing is worse than Twilight... actually X_X

I didn't mean I was excited about it. I was poking fun at the fact that its a separate special feature. :P
