Dragonball Z "Live Action" Movie??

Post by **TripleRach** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 1:09 am

Actually, it's probably hard for anyone to like that movie, including Dragon Ball/anime/kung fu fans. It can still be quite enjoyable in an MST kind of way, though.

I'm so glad there's others here who like "Head-Cha-La" as much as I do!

It's just funnest theme song, especially the "Jungle Head Mix" version!

The funniest thing about that ImDB link to 'Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins' was the comment at the bottom of the page: '' If you like this movie, we also recommend ''Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone'' . ''

It made me laugh.

Yep... HEAD CHA-LA is my favorite song!

Man, I saw Dragonball: Magic Begins on the international channel one day. That shit was CRAZY, but so good. Not as good as live action sailor moon (actually the live action sailor moon is glorious for us moonies), but still pretty damn enjoyable.
Anyone ever see Future Cops? It's a HILARIOUS rip of Street Fighter. Hilarious.

Anyway, I've run across a few pages speculating on a live action cast for DBZ when I was searching for pics of Juuhachi cosplayers.

Some of the reccomendations for the cast are horrendous, most notably Jet Li as Vegeta, Tom Cruise as Goku, and Elijah Wood as #17. Jack Black as Yajirobe seems surprisingly fitting, and it's fairly amusing to see which popular black actor should play Piccolo! Leonardo DiCaprio as Trunks...I don't know how I feel about that one.

Us dopes in the #18 Yahoo club talk about it here and there, most recent considerations being Cameron Diaz, Meredith McCoy herself, and some other tall pretty blond chick I don't care for.

I'd really prefer that it just be a cast of unknowns rather than these big names. I want them to LOOK like they're fighters...annnd I dunno. I just don't want pretty boys and big boobs.

Please, no. How I hate him...

I like the 'Things I learned' section of the DB Let the magic Begin movie. It's in English, too? Heh, wow! I've definately got to check this out sometime

I doubt a DB movie can be made. Isn't it pointless to.....uh.....re-make something for a movie? Where's the originality in modifying Toriyama's story?

You mean like what TOEI did?

*snark*

Also, I am shocked that Dragon Ball fans are expressing their love for "Head Cha La". How much more controversial can you get? Next thing you know, someone will be saying stuff like "I quite like that scene where Gohan turns Super Saiyan 2". And then all hell will break lose.

Here, I'll start it off for you...

I particulary enjoyed that one moment in which Gohan was angered into breaking the Super Saiyan boundary and reaching the next level of Super Saiyan 2.

Well, I know it's equally contencious, but I rather enjoy that moment where Freeza kills Goku's best friend, and all the anger and rage in him finally erupts, and he becomes the legendary Super Saiyan.

Sorry if that annoys anyone.

What a geek you are Psyliam! You actually like that scene?! Wahahahaaa!

Although, I have a confession myself to make. *whispers* I actually like watching the Japanese version better! *snicker* My God, I'm so insane!

WHAT IS THIS PO PO, OF WHICH YOU SPEAK

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:09 pm

I'm not sure. Maybe he's the green guy. Hey, did anyone else think that Future Trunks was, y'know, quite a cool character? I personally think he's a better fighter than Kiwi, but I don't want to start an argument.

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:20 pm

Ya, that Future Trunks guy is kinda cool, but he ain't as good-looking as Kiwi. And that Dodoria, wow he's like every girl's dream!

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Sat Feb 07, 2004 1:36 pm

OMG!!!!!! Imagine if, like, Dodoria and Majin Buu were, like, nekid! SUPER SEXYNESS!!!!!!!!!!!
