The Dragonball Movie Is Trying to Kill Me
Posted at 4:25 PM May 22, 2008
The Japanese movie mag Roadshow has more pics of the live-action Dragonball cast, and as much as I knew they would upset me, I looked at them. And because misery loves company, I'm showing them to you. Here's pretty much the full cast in costume:
All right. I'm going to try to refrain from raving about the wild, needless deviation from source material, about how they clearly don't care about the DB/DBZ fans, when only DB/DBZ fans would pay $10 to see a fucking U.S.-made Dragonball movie anyways. But a few notes:
• I love how they have the manga character pictures next to them. It really helps, since you'd have know idea who these people were playing otherwise.
• Yamcha. With frosted blonde hair. You have got to be shitting me.
• Chichi looks...like nothing. Like some totally random, nondescript girl who could be in any movie. There's absolutely nothing to distinguish her as being in Dragonball.
• To transform Chow Yun-Fat into Master Roshi, they PUT HIM IN A FUCKING HAWAIIAN SHIRT. No beard, no turtle shell, not even sunglasses. I've seen 5-year-olds make better cosplay than this.
• Justin Chatwin's hair actually looks pretty good in the above shot. Unfortunately, it now calls attention to his freakish large forehead and his dead eyes, which have surely allowed him to see what a debacle this movie is going to be,
In summary: WHY WHY OH GOD WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME YOU EVIL BASTARDS I HATE YOU I HATE YOU DIE DIE DIIIIIIEEEEE (Via ANN and the DB Movie Blog)

Posted 05/23/2008 at 08:01:04 AMTransformers was excellent, and this will be too. Look past the "inaccuracies" and enjoy it for what it is. Go cry again.
Posted 05/25/2008 at 10:23:00 PMThis looks soooo awesome. I cannot WAIT to see it. Twice!!! I hope they make a sequel. No two!!!
Posted 05/26/2008 at 08:53:59 PMi agree with chris...enjoy it for what it is before we all get thrown in jail...
Posted 06/18/2008 at 09:41:26 AMand in yamchas defense that looks like yamchas personality, not him...
but still, they ruin everything >:o
Does Yamcha get extra cool points for having aviators? ^^
Goku's hair aint big enough.
Mind you. Might look silly being a bit too big.
Posted 07/06/2008 at 01:18:58 PMJust boycott it like the Japanese and the rest of Asia's doing
Posted 07/12/2008 at 03:01:12 PMNO NO NO...WTF is this bull shyt!
they must've thought by having an actual martial artist in the cast "Chow Yun Fatass"
that it would be more acceptable to the world.
again I say NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they might as well have had the original voice actors flyin around and blowin shyt up,that way atleast there would be the original voices...because there isnt anything that these actors have at there disposal that relates them to our beloved badasses!
!FUCK THIS MOVIE!
RE-DO!
Posted 09/22/2008 at 02:04:47 PMim with coby! this movie and all the actors can eat a dick!!
Posted 09/29/2008 at 09:27:57 PMi think if they are going to make a movie they should go with cgi beowulf style. so they can keep all the original voice actors
