    *yawn* The DBZ movie seems to be a DB movie

    After looking here Dragonball (2008)
    and Dragonball (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I realized that it's a Dragon Ball movie, not Dragon Ball Z.

    Does anyone actually plan on seeing this? Especially since like 98% of DB fans are more DBZ fans than anything else?

    Also, I didn't see a thread about it, but if anyone has more info than that, please tell!

    I also like how people are still freaking out even though they haven't actually seen any screens or any pictures or anything other than word of mouth. Apparently the DBZ trailer is suppose to be in the opening previews with the 100000 BC movie.

    I'm surprised that people like James Marsters and Emmy Rossum are involved in this, but still.. I've never been a fan, and unless the trailer is super cool I probably won't watch this movie.

    The fact that it's produced by Stephen Chow is reason enough for me to at least keep an eye on this one.

    Stephen Chow did two great versions of the Monkey story. I don't see why this wouldn't be any different.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Slightly older thread here with more info.

    Latest bit of info is that Ernie Hudson is in it now. First Chow Yun Fat and now Ernie Hudson...not to discredit any of the other actors, but the amount of 'credibility' those two bring to the film makes me not know what the heck to expect from this project.

    I don't care for DB too much, but I love DBZ n.n

    It's just....so..cheesy...and awesome xD

    I was disappointed to hear that it was Dragon Ball and not DBZ (I mean how awesome would it be to hear OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAANNDNDNDNDND
    !!!1!!!!11! in a theater?), but I think it'll be worth watching no matter what the outcome is xD

    I don't think you can expect all the cheese of the TV show.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    It'll be a whole new unacceptable brand of cheese.

    I can't wait for this movie. It might be the most hilariously bad film ever created.

    Sweet deal to me. Dragonball is so much better than DBZ. This has my interest now. Even more so since it is based on Dragonball which means we might not have to put up with a mountain of bad graphics XD

    I expect a martial arts tournament thing going on since it is Dragonball.

    Goku is in high school. Don't expect anything Dragon Ballish.

    The source material was always called Dragon Ball. The 'Z' was only added for the anime version that most people know, and the US version of the 2nd part of the Dragon Ball manga added the Z to tie in with the popular anime easier. But Toriyama's Dragon Ball was Dragon Ball (with no Z (and definitely no GT)) the entire time.

    Also, in the original manga and Japanese animated version of that now famous scene, Vegeta actually states that his power level is over Eight Thousand.

    *represses the 12 year old DB nerd*

    But yeah, 'Dragon Ball', when Goku was a kid, was overall a more well put-together story than the stuff that happened after there was more than one blond haired dude running around. The story was supposed to end after Goku defeated Frieza, but...the nerd is slipping out again.

    They're aiming for an August '08 US release for this movie.

    I look forward to this movie replacing 1995's live action Fist of the North Star as my favorite film of all time.
