He’s the best they can get for him

 
Priverson on May 14, 2008

He’s just a bait to get his Chinese fans hooked on this movie, though that isn’t look too successful

 
super saiyan 09 on May 15, 2008

Seriously Priverson, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!

 
super saiyan 09 on May 16, 2008

By the way Priverson it’s isn’t looking too successful not isn’t look too successful.

 
Priverson on May 19, 2008

What’s the hurry to get me to shut up? I’m exposing the truths some just want hidden?

 
super saiyan 09 on May 20, 2008

Priverson you’re seriously getting on my nerves. Chow Yun Fat is the ony Asian who can play him. Can you picture Jackie Chan,Jet Li, or Robin Shou as him? You had the nerve to criticize my grammar on one of your entries but you said isn’t look too successful. I mean c’mon.

Correction: Chow Yun-Fat’s the only Asian on hand who Fox thinks can summon enough idiots to the cinemas

i honestly agree Priverson, they’re pulling in big names to get this highly unlikely to be successful movie off the ground, but hey i do wanna see it cause i saw the cartoon as a kid and it will be fun for me to see what they do live action to bring it to life, though i do think its gonna FLOP!

 
super saiyan 09 on May 21, 2008

He’s the only Asian who resembles Master Roshi so stick with it or zip it. You do not know what it’s gonna be like. As for you David if you mocked me before you better not type again.

 
Priverson on May 22, 2008

Correction: Chow’s the only Asian Fox can get who they think can get enough fools to imagine he actually looks like the kame

 
super saiyan 09 on May 23, 2008

All right Priverson you win. You got me there. I’ve changed my mind and I’m with Japan now. See an entry on another page to find out why. I still wan this to happen just not with Fox.

 
super saiyan 09 on May 23, 2008

That’s want in the last sentence

Master Roshi has never had a hair on his head…..exept for that wig
but other than that the cast sucks,They should of left DBZ alone because i think no live action movie could capture the “true” essence of Dragon Ball Z :’(

 
super saiyan 09 on May 27, 2008

With you on that Jahred King but just in case one can go to Youtube and type in DBZ(or some Dragon Ball related thing) and you might find a sickass video of Frieza in live action .

 
DBZ on June 3, 2008

In actuality, They should have made the movie in the same style Beowulf was in, digitized and real-looking they may have had better luck. But i didn’t have my hopes up too high as far as how the characters we’re gonna look. Put it this way graphics mean nothing when playing the Video Games, its all about the gameplay….so from a movie standpoint my hopes are on the fight scenes as that is the only thing I think will get this movie its buzz from the fans cuz as long as that’s on point….be honest, your gonna sit through that whole movie! I’ll, doubtfully, say it again…. good luck fox! lmao!
