Here's a clip from some Italian movie with 2 Dragonball references. First is a guy calling an Asian guy "Dragonball" and the other is just, weird...

Here's one from a movie called "The Glass House"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vKqkM0JKrc

And other one from the Anime "Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi" where the main character enters in a tournament, and he battles somebody that kind of looks like Tao Pai Pai, but I think it's just the hair, and the suit is blue, not pink.

Another reference from the above show isn't even there for 30 seconds! It's just a Freeza image:

There was a movie that came out this year that called itself "Dragonball". Probably no relation, though...

Once again, from Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei and it's other seasons. It's a show that'll spit out cultural and anime references a lot. I recommend it for anyone with a love for odd or quirky humor, as well as humor on how society operates.

This scene involves going on how things no longer resemble what they start out as, starting with Halloween being popularly used as a chance for cosplay in Japan rather than plain old witch and pumpkin costumes along with "Trick or Treat"-ing. As you can see, more than just DBZ is being referenced here...But I'm sure you can see a few faces in the crowd.

Edit: here are the full things if people wish to see them. I made a quick edit in MSPaint and inverted the first one.

And a couple other not directly referencing, but are Dragonball related in some way.

That red Ninja-looking guy in the red that's standing next to Goku in the bottom right of the second pic was that guy Yusuke fought before fighting Rando.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!
