Dragonball The Magic Begins Questions

Post by Dragon Ball Freak » Wed Aug 25, 2010 6:46 pm

Years ago I came accross this movie but I never thought of buying it but I might now I have a few questions about it below

1.When it was released the first time it was called Dragonball The Magic Begins the re-released version is called Dragonball Ultimate Edition did they add anything between the first release and new released?

2.When The Movie Starts is it still called Dragonball the Magic Begins or was it changed to Dragonball Ultimate Edition?

3 Is it dubbed in English?

If I have anymore questions I will edit this post

1. There are many new things. Ultimate Edition added state of the art SFX. They pretty much revolutionised the industry. Most of the new content was replacement SFX, but they did also add a CG fight scene. Screw Advent Children. Forget Pixar. That scene is the epitome of computer generated brilliance.

2. I honestly can't remember. I don't recall the title saying The Magic Begins, but I'd have to double check.

3. Hell yeah. "MY MASTER WILL WIN! MY MASTER WILL WIN!"

Seriously though if you ever are considering picking it up go for the original edition. The special effects are...just...bad and unnecessary. Then again most people watch this film exclusively for chuckles so I guess that's not a con in that instance.

I wrote up a dissection about it when it was first released. You can find it here:

I have both and would recommend the original more, but I also recommend the newer one to hear the original cantonese version.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the original version new for $14.99-$19.99? Best Buy lists it, but it's back-ordered.

This came up in a quick search. I've never heard of the site, though. You may want to research it before you make a purchase.

Thanks for helping, but I cannot find any info about that site. Is it legit? Has anybody bought from them before? Is the movie for sale anywhere else?

I am afraid of getting a bootleg. Several years ago I got a bootleg DVD from Ebay, so I am a little concerned. I hope you understand. Is the movie for sale new at another website?
