So as I understand the logic behind this “American” version, Goku is not from this planet. The extraterrestrial/dimensional Parents decide to drop Goku off on planet earth. And naturally all off world aliens are white skinned so this all makes sense, and it is logical to change the story for our egotistic needs. After all we do share a diverse nation and we should gain whatever strength we can through the power of storytelling so we can forever stay in mental conflict with our American / not American (wink wink) brothers. I see.

ooooh, i really wannna see that hopefully the special fx will be good other wise the whole thing will be pointless, i have to see it, though maybe they’re just milking it for all it’s worth i mean there’s thousands of episodes like twenty movies in cartoon already plus the manga, thoughi am curious. and dude if you play piccolo badly i will slice you into little peices using a spatula

Well hopefully the DBZ movie doesn’t end up a big let down like when street fighter and mortal kombat were made some of the actors seem to fit the characters in the game but wasn’t as exciting as it should have been u know each one of those movies that came out i was expecting more. But deep inside knew the movies wouldn’t have fit the game like it should have. So for me it was a big let down. But if the DBZ movie ain’t what it should be when it comes out in theatres i think that screw up the reputation that Dragon Ball in general all around has got from fans since the 80’s all the way up till now. So i hope tori the creater of “DBZ” is keeping his eyes on how the production of the movie is going. Because if the movie isn’t a smash hit like all us fans want it to be i think it would mess his reputation as well big time, ecause he’s the creator. If i were him would be watching over every lil detail from cast and wardrobe. I mean cast in the movie should have the exact wardrobe as they do in the cartoon. If were the directer i would make sure everything in the movie fit every lil detail in the cartoon as much as possible. Well that’s it for my say on the movie good luck in production people.

yours truly,

I still dont freakin get why Kuririn isnt there!!!!!!!!….he appears in the second arc of dragon ball, the best friend of goku, and pays an important role in Goku’s transformation as a Super Sayajin….he also played an important role in fighting vegeta, remember when he shot gokus spirit bomb?…..WHY ISNT HE THERE!!!!!!!!!!…..this is balls

I dare you to flame my ass for posting this, I DARE YOU…you’re not makin the movie longer by putting an important character in the series..

Awesome. I have been waiting for Db as live action for, well, years. Like some I had my negative thoughts but resolved to go into theaters in 09 with an open mind. Aside from Darkstalkers and Akira, Dragonball was the first real anime I had ever seen. I am glad to see that people are far more open minded about it now that Marsters has had his word on it. He seems really enthusiastic and loyal to the core of DB, and from what he says, so does Chatwin.
I heard some bashing in other forums in the form of the complaint that Goku was not being portrayed by a Japanese actor. Well firstly, the original legend Dragonball was based on was Chinese. The Legend of the Monkey King. And then Toriyama goes to include some western influence in his own manga. Besides, Goku isn’t even human, he’s a Saiyan/saiya-jin. I think it can be done for that matter, as long as, if they make further movies that include other saiyans, they follow their own established look.
I also had worries on Marsters. Mind you, I am a big Buffy and Angel fan, and Spike is actually my favorite character. He can pull off the character most definitely and his martial arts isn’t too shabby……but there is a little problem. And I emphasize little. James Marsters isn’t that tall or beefed. But then I took into mind that in this installment it is the old “demon” piccolo we will be seeing, so it seems they can make it work there.
Of course, in making any movie adaptation you have to cut and rearrange the story a little as he mentioned had to be done. You just can completely condense volumes and volumes of manga into a 2-3 hour long movie and remain completely loyal.
What matters is remaining true to the core and feelings of the series, which Marsters and Chatwin seem to grasp. So I am optimistic.
Now, if they do further movies, perhaps leading up to the defeat of Frieza…….I would love to see Jet Li as Vegeta. Once again that would have one Saiyan looking western and one Asian, but it would almost be worth it. Just check out the ending scene in “The One” where Ulaw is walking up the steps of that pyramid like structure, listen to the rough town of his voice, the look on his face, and you’ll see what I mean.
