There’s no stopping the “Dragonball”! The latest addition to the cast is none other than Chinese action God Chow Yun-Fat, last seen in the latest “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequel. Chowl be playing the character Master Roshi, described as (lead character) Goku’s mentor, helping him achieve the highest state of fighting and spiritual powers.

The film, directed by James Wong, follows Goku (Chatwin), a warrior alien who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the universe and controlling mystical objects known as Dragon Balls. Stephen Chow is producing.
“Dragonball” is currently shooting in Mexico.







chow is to tall for master roshi.
He’s the best they can get for him
He’s just a bait to get his Chinese fans hooked on this movie, though that isn’t look too successful
Seriously Priverson, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!
By the way Priverson it’s isn’t looking too successful not isn’t look too successful.
What’s the hurry to get me to shut up? I’m exposing the truths some just want hidden?
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!
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.
Correction: Chow’s the only Asian Fox can get who they think can get enough fools to imagine he actually looks like the kame
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.
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 :’(
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 .
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!
