The Dragonball Movie Gets One Thing Right
…and it’s not the Dragonball itself, because they don’t generally float. However, Emmy Rossum’s ridiculous hairstyle is one that Bulma does indeed wear at one point during the Dragonball manga (although it should be noted that her hair was drawn by a Japanese comic book artist in the ’80s, which explains why they’re so uniformly ridiculous). It’s a nice touch, especially since the new pictures of Chi-chi and Mai over at DBtheMovie look nothing like their comic counterparts and instead look like nondescript Asian women.
If I don’t sound particularly excited by the manga accurate hair, it’s because I also read over at DBtheMovie from a set spy that…
Goku?s ?best friend? in this film was a character I had never heard of, in fact I can?t even recall his name right now?. started with a T and was played by a young Mexican actor.
I know how you feel, Krillin. I really do.
