First Images from the Dragonball Movie Trailer
Well kids, I guess you don’t have to wait for the “Dragonball” movie trailer to show in front of “Max Payne” after all. Well, you still have to wait to see the actual footage (you know, moving and such), but screenshots from the trailer have leaked online, and they look, well, let’s put it this way: if you weren’t fans of the movie in the first place, these images probably aren’t going to convince you to change your mind.
The original screenshots surfaced over at Nerdorama (a place for nerds, one presumes), but the site has been hit so hard with traffic it’s since gone down. I was, though, able to find these images over at the Dragonball Movie Blog.
The “Dragonball” trailer shows in front of Max Payne October 17, 2008, and opens wide April 3rd, 2009.
So, um, why does Piccolo look like a vampire extra from Buffy the Vampire Slayer?























hahaha man I can’t wait to see this movie
nice costume for piccolo! looks modern! thank god they took out the feelers and the gay original costume. he looks like spike in armor.
wait… he is spike in armor! lol
so far so good i think.
cept goku looks silly, they should have just made him wore leather jeans and jacket.
Excuse me,are you trying to say piccolo looks good?
He has no feelers.
He aint Green.
No white cloak.
No purple training suit.
Not piccolo.
looks like the master from buffy.
I hope that maybe if he powers up the aura will at least be green.
Other than that.
Not piccolo.
I mean how hard is it to make someone green.
if james masters is apperently a “fan” of dragonball then why the fuck did he not just say “i aint doing it if i aint green”.
i would.
ok ur retarded. this isnt a dragonball z movie. its DRAGONBALL!
ur describing piccolo from dragonball z, which isnt even the same character as who marsters plays. have u even seen db? at the end when goku kills lord piccolo he spits up an egg which becomes Kame, then came expells all the evil in his body, which is the piccolo u love soooo damn much.
first off, lord piccolo has been in jail and out of the sun for 2000 years. i bet if u stayed outta the sun for 5 years ud be white as hell too.
plus do u know how much of a bitch that would be if he had green skin and they shoot against a green screen? fuckin damn near impossible.
stop being dumb.
Well look mate,i dont care if he hasnt seen sun for the past how many years, i dont think alot of you have either.
I remember piccolo green and mean.not like a vampire.
i remember the purple suit he wears in dragonball when he last fights goku.I also think it would be nice to see his cloak.
I dont think my opinion was dumb.Each to his own.
Adam your wrong - before dragonball even starts there was a namekian who wanted to be guardian of earth he split into 2 (good and evil) so that he could do this - at the end of the fight piccolo(evil) spits out an egg containing piccolo jr. kame already exists dumb ass he was the good side (no kame no dragonballs no bulma meeting goku in the woods NO story) so stop talking shit and confusing ppl who don’t know any better !
Piccolo looks gay in that pic.. he isnt green he doesnt have on namek gear.. i mean he looks like a bad ass but it isnt anything true to DBZ and as a fan.. thats what i want
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING! PICCOLO DOSENT LOOK THE SAME!!! HOW DOES THAT NOT OFFEND YOU AS A FAN OF DRAGONBALL!!!
T_T… i dun wanna, i dun wanna….make it stop.
These pictures could make me go super saiyan there shit, they discust me.
I’m pissed!!! Where the hell is the green and purple get-up for James Masters?!!! That is not Piccolo!!! And um Chow Yun Fat? Where’s the bald head and big Sunglasses and the Turtle Shell?!!! Goku is not as the same w/o the actual full orange and blue colored suit.
For those still clinging onto this flick, there goes the trailer excuse down the drain.
I know i’ll sound stupid but could you explain this comment to me.
What I meant was, there were a lot of people supporting this crap by saying “wait till you see the trailer and then you’ll love it”, but these shots just washed all that garbage down the sinkhole
Does anyone else think that Piccolo looks like Scorpius from Farscape and Spike’s love child?
This is pure shit. I really really really love anime and think that anime should never become a movie.
the entire Dragonball and moviegoing community just got punk’d! lol
all us ru stupid and dont want to here u
First learn the basics of grammar Mattlock, then try to learn what a good movie is, and you’ll see that this one is looking… Well, like CRAP!
It was a bad idea, and it was executed poorly, so… I think I will download illegally via Torrent when the DVD will be out, just to have a laugh!
Still looks better than the 2 live action DB movies done in China. And yes there were 2 of them. The poorly dubbed one which I’m sure most people have seen and another one that looked like a 5th grade school play.
But the Chinese one and that other Korean one still looks Dragonball. This one doesn’t one bit.
hey man can you tell me the names of those movies so i can get them.. ima collector and had no clue for some reason
Maybe the second movie was Japanese. Could someone verify?

DragonBall the Magic Begins was just plain goofy.
This is Korean.
You can really see the difference in terms of respecting source material here. No wonder the guys over in Asia are all on a boycott.
WHAT THE F***!
What the hell have they done to piccolo!
I really dont believe this, but not enough to consider it fake.
Why are they punishing DB fans.
dude such bull shit there gonna kill the cartoon picolo isnt even green man and were the hell is krillin.
Did Akira Toriyama even have a say in any of this? Or does he just not care and is trying to make a quick buck?
Some say that Toriyama got kicked out of production for having too many complaints
I could of put Morgan Freeman as Master Rochie. hahahahaha jk
You know who i think could of been a better goku?!!?!? Lui kang from mortal kombat. It would of been better if piccolo was green and his little antenas. I could of made a better movie in general. This movie disgusts me! Who agrees with me with the Lui Kang thing?
unbelievable.
how and why the fuck havent they tried to come even close to making the characters look like they in the anime flicks.
Goku looks terrible, Piccolo? i mean shit, isnt even fucking green?!!!? let alone that horrendous suit hes got on. and chow as roshi????? WTF is going on! this is taking the fuckin piss and making a mokery of Dragon Ball. HOW CAN THEY NOT MAKE PICCOLO GREEN!!!!
Anyways, i wont be watching this shit.
I have to agree the characters don’t resemble anything like the anime. I would think they are gonna have to, SERIOUSLY, make up for that in the fight scenes as we all can agree whole heartedly is the most important thing! I mean the characters take away from the effect by a lot so I would think they would be smart to go hardcore on the fight scenes which will save this movie, although not completly….they better have us DB fans in awe to get even a tilt of approval cuz this movie is relying heavily on the DB fans who can make or break this movie…..better come with it Speilberg!
Piccolo is not green…… that just fuckin killed it.. Why the fuck didn’t they jus make piccolo green it would have looked cool..I’m still going to watch it!
If you insist on damaging your mental health, I’d advise you to wait for the bootleg so that you won’t damage your finances.
Dam, master roshi is not gonna be pervert with Chow’s serious looking face. hahaha
What they should do is make an amazing CGI movie like Beowolf style or something like that … now that would rock… to see Goku doing a kahmehameha in CGI 3D at the Imax … F’n Crazy style there … whos down for a revolt lol
every it’s just the first onei’m sure they will put the other stuff on in the sequel prbally on the next one they will put the white cloak and stuff on i’m sure it will be a good movie and maybe they wan’t evil piccolo to have that on and maybe when he turns good they will put the original stuff on and for goku he’s just a kid in this one you can’t expect him to be all buffed up on the first one h’e not even super sayin yet i have nothing negative to say at least they tried i’m going to see it
Can you tell me, then, what makes you think those guys even tried?
What good things you imagine they’ll do doesn’t count. A lot of people had imagined that those guys will make Piccolo green, and now look what’s come out.
listen dude he is green just not as green as he is in the anie show it still looks good goof ass
Are you saying that you’re the only one who can see that this thing’s green and the rest of the world’s colorblind?
listen man or woman i’m not about to debate with u about this i just got one question to ask you if he’s not green then what color is he
Somewhere around white or orange, but certainly nowhere near green
dude, if dont like the up coming movie, then dont watch it… what is it with you if piccolo is not color green… shut up!
What’s it with you?
If you don’t understand how this thing should be boycotted, then shut up!
I dont know alot a/b Dragonball, but i heard that Lord piccolo isnt the Green character we all know. i heard that this piccolo spawns off the Green Piccolo. how true is this…..or am i just way off?
B-random: In the original DB, there was Evil King Piccolo. He then layed an egg before he died and that becomes the Piccolo most people know from DBZ. However character design-wise, they are pretty much the same. Same green skin and same design all around really.
wow you would think goku would have a little more muscle on him?
never mind all the talk about piccilo goku is the wrost and if they wreck this lyk they done to street fighter and mortal combat i will lose it
If you don’t like the move than don’t watch it. Ya it is different than the anima. DUH! imagine if every comic / anima they have turned into a movie stayed true to source. Can you picture Hugh Jackman in yellow and black spandex… It will be different. could be good. Could be bad.
Go back and tell your bosses, if they can’t make a movie true to the source, then don’t make one in the first place.
first of all i never said anything negative about this movie i said that im still going to watch it despite all of the negative staements
Of course you won’t say anything negative about this movie. Fox won’t pay you if you do.
i have never in my life watched a dragonball episode or movie or what have you. I am only interested in this movie BECAUSE Spike from Buffy is in it and Justin Chatwin is pretty cool too. I thought this movie looked like it was gonna suck because i have never been into this kind of style. But i have a very open mind and i will watch it nonetheless. Everyone is saying the movie sucks like they have seen it already. Give it a chance. you might be surprised. Thats what im gonna do. I dont really care that Picollo or whatever his name is isnt green, im more upset that Picollos actual character isnt a sexy tough guy with his shirt off most of the time. See how disappointed i am too? And im still gonna watch it.
Everyone says it sucks because everyone knows what Dragonball’s supposed to be like.
You people not boycotting it will regret it later on in your lives, such as those who have went to watch North Star, Mario, etc
thank you a good comment and everybody to see the trialer go to http://www.traileraddict.com and type dragonball you can see it there then you can jdge the trailer
sorry i mispelled a couple of things
It’s been a while Priverson. As for you Ravenmaiden stay out of this if you don’t like the anime and leave this to the real fans. (nothing personal)
Everyone keeps talking about how Picollo isn’t green, but there are a ton of things missing from this. For starters, where’s Goku’s tail? It’s a center plot point in almost the entire DB series. If they don’t have Goku turn into a giant ape in this, I will be pissed. This IS a movie about DB, not DBZ after all. The other most annoying fact is Goku is not a kid. That’s what made most of the fans like Goku’s character in the first place, because he was so naive and innocent. God this is a travesty to all DB fans.
i think in dragonball the original manga series..piccolo isnt very green until he wishes for youth then he turns green again..coz he was imprisoned for like 3000 years…so thts why dragonball z..the kinda sequel series..shows him green…i think
KINDA SEQUEL SERIES? IT IS 100% A SEQUEL TO DB. WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING? ARE YOU ON DRUGS? WERE YOU DRUNK? EXPLAIN.
super saiyan 09 returns are you talking to me
I was talking to that VJ guy. He said DBZ is kind of a sequel to Dragonball. I mean what universe is he from?
I guess because green is, in a psychological sense of color and meaning, a signal for fruitility, peace and nature. Whereas gray stands for boredome and misery. Piccolo is an awfully gray character, at first. Envyous and not peacefull at all. So, I think this entire project stinks.
fuck this Fox shit.
i hope this movie doesnt release
Instead of making a Dragonball movie Fox should be sucking dragonballs or eating dragonballs. Anyone agree?
I don’t think they even deserve to have dragonballs
priverson no1 cares about whether ur gonna see it or not im 15 and ive seen db dbz and dbgt and im quite excited that some1s attempted to turn them into a movie yeh there are some bits missin but u havnt even given it a chance and if u disagree with it so much that ur on here daily then maybe u hav to get a life and stop complainin i mean xmen was no where near like it was on the cartoon but it was an immense movie trilogy so maybe you shud wait till it the 3 db movies come out then have ur f***** verdict coz at the moment the movies not gonna change just because u arnt happy with it
that is exactly what i was going to say this is the same stuff that was going on with transformers now look people want more
Actually, the true XMen fans didn’t like the live action movies.
And you know why some people want more Transformers? Because those robots at least transform.
On the other hand, there is absolutely not one bit of similarity between Dragonball and this piece of crap we’re talking about here.
yeh but some kids who never saw the original anime nd see it myt love it nd u will get new fans for a new era of the programme
In that case, it’ll be the end of Dragonball.
People will think Dragonball is a lame kungfu movie instead of the great legend it should be.
