DBZ LIVES!!! LOCK YOUR DOORS, AMERICA!!! - Page 4

The Joker · 08-04-2004, 01:56 PM

Uhhh I guess I take it that I'm the only one who's seen the Japanese live action video of DBZ then ?? It wasn't that bad although it was based largely on the Dragon Ball series rather than the DBZ series. The guy they got to play as Master Roshi was freaking hilarious !

Directed by Hong Kong directors Joe Chan and Leung Chung, "Dragonball: The Magic Begins" was released in 1989. Not a stellar seller, this movie is available for $13 on DVD and $4 on VHS

Though I was stoned at the time when i watched it

What the crap? That guy is going to be Raditz!?

I don't exactly see him as the evil dude with long freakin hair....

Anyway, the other choices seem fine but, who's going to be Goku?

FOX is shooting for a PG-13 rating and a running time of somewhere between 3 to 4 hours. They are hoping for the DBZ movie saga to be 4 episodes long (4 movies). They will most likely be The Saiyan Saga, The Frieza Saga, The Android Cell Saga, and the Majin Buu Saga. George Lucas' CGI Company ILM has signed a contract to do the special effects so expect some kick ass action scenes and imagery.

I find all of that highly unlikely...this site is more reliable.

I you haven't seen the original then you haven't seen Dragonballz!!

All HAIL THE MAGIC BEANS !!! ..... uhh I mean THE MAGIC BEGINS !!!

I guess live action DBZ is better than the live action Sailor Moon they're doing in Japan.

Visit Chao Adventures in the Comix Thread! Go and read them, now!

Erdawn Il Deus · 08-04-2004, 08:45 PM

Hmm... I till think it will be ridiculous, but the director has enough on his resume to make me think he could do a good enough job.

horsegirl · 08-04-2004, 09:34 PM

Well they made a sailor moon live action series, didn't they...notice not a joke it's already up to act 42, shocking, no?

so why not make a dbz live action thing whatchamacallit and find out how it is most likely it will suck and I never really liked dragonball z after sitting through episode after episode waiting for them to actually fight...ok all I got to say, see ya!

Here are apparently some of the actors.

Thank you. Just when I got those mind-burning images you and several others gave me in that topic, you go and burn THOSE into my mind.

KirbyKing · 08-08-2004, 02:26 PM

Orlando Bloom as Tien is just not good; he's nowhere near muscular enough...

Sim Kid · 08-08-2004, 04:17 PM

^DAMN YOU!!! I just got an image of Orlando Bloom taking steroids for the part.

Tain · 08-09-2004, 09:24 PM

Not to mention it's just...no.

ILM ON DBZ LIVE ACTION MOVIE by Otherworld Steve

I decided to follow up a bit more regarding the rumored live action Dragon Ball/Z movie. One persistent rumor has been that "George Lucas' CGI company ILM has signed a contract to do the special effects."

Today I called Ellen Pasternack, Public Relations for ILM. I asked her if the rumor was true; if ILM was brought on board to provide the special effects for the Dragon Ball/Z live action movie. Ms. Pasternack's reply was that it had been mentioned, but ILM never officially signed off on anything and it never came to be. She also commented that, as far as she knows, the film is not being made.

So there you have it, folks. Another death nail in the DBZ live action movie coffin. That isn't to say that the film will never be made. There are other major studios besides FOX and other effects houses aside from ILM. Who knows ... maybe Wetta will snag this property to go along with the Evangelion live action movie. Only time will tell.

Edit: I just want to clarify that a.) FUNimation Productions has absolutely nothing to do with the concept/licensing for a Dragon Ball/Z live action movie. They hold the license for the anime/games/merchandise only, and b.) this website is NOT an official FUNimation website. It is just a promotional website for Kyle Hebert and goes beyond his association with FUNimation. I hope that clears some things up.

NO LIFE IN THE "DRAGONBALL" LIVE ACTION MOVIE? by Otherworld Steve

I literally JUST got off the phone with FOX Studios in Los Angeles, CA. I asked outright about the upcoming live action Dragon Ball/Z movie.

This is exactly what I was told by my contact:

"The Dragon Ball Z movie? We don't have that. I 've got a lot of calls about that so I called around [the studio]. We won't be making that [movie]."

So there you have it, folks. That is the OFFICIAL story from FOX. I know some of you may be disappointed, but I also think it's a blessing.

Where is the idiot running to? Why to Nintendo Mania of course. Just follow him for the time of your life.

so what im saying is that the movie is going to be big for a little while then its going to suck big time

SuperLuigi64 · 08-09-2004, 11:07 PM

Being as it's been pretty much proven that this was a hoax, I'm going to lock it. You've got until tomorrow night to finish up any extra comments [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Erdawn Il Deus · 08-10-2004, 12:53 AM
