Dragon Ball Movie 1

Post by NessMudkip » Tue Jan 28, 2014 6:34 am

So, if I'm correct, I've found that there is currently no way to own the first Dragon Ball movie with it's original Japanese title card. By the looks of things, the first uncut release was in 2010, and it has that white bar thing that FUNimation likes putting on their movies. Am I correct? If so, I'll probably start collecting the movies with the edited title cards, and then wait for a possible DBOX The Movies, I think, rather than have an inconsistent collection.

Haven't seen the Funimation version, but from what I heard, it was like Dead Zone in having no title show up in the movie, and only named in its Japanese video release.

Not true. It has its Dragon Ball logo before the opening theme and replaces the logo that's normally in the opening theme with the name of the movie. Unless they actually physically altered the movie to make that change for home video, which would be inconsistent with DBZ movie 1 where they did nothing except name it on the video box, it's always had that title.

It actually was titled just "Dragon Ball" when it hit the screen, though.

I know the posters only say Dragon Ball, but, as far as I know, the movie itself has always had the Legend of Shenlong title card in it.
