  • Eric
    OMG wasn't Piccolo green? This looks bad
  • JiveTurkey
    When will the black leather in fantasy action films end?No one in the dragonball show wore black leather,gah!
  • Matt
    Looks like shit. I mean, ugh! It makes me shiver!
  • Andrew
    The poster is pretty cool. i'm going to reserve judgement till a trailer.
  • COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PICCOlO Looks amazinggggggggg!!!!
    I love it!!

    Dragonball is going to be so alwsome
    I can't wait to see it!!
  • My favorite is defiantly the Goku and Master Roshi pics!!
    GOku Looks so cool!!

    WOW!!!! I can't believe Dragonball is finally coming :)
  • Piccolo what in the world Dude they fked it up for real
  • Piccolo looks awful, he looks like a bastard child of that Yellow Bastard from Sin City.

    Even the rocks in the background look cheap...

    They should have just did (if anything) a live action version of The World's Strongest or something...they can't just go and add characters and put Goku in high school!
  • Marvin
    Would it have been so hard to make piccolo green?
  • Jeremy
    Wow piccolo looks like one of the reapers from blade 2. I knew this movie would be crap from the beginning but i just hoped that they would do piccolo some justice but i guess i was wrong.
  • edward
    RIP piccollo's badass design.
  • Adam B.
    I've officially lost faith in this movie.
    forget being cautiously optimistic, I give up.
  • BobMikki
    This looks fucking horrible.
  • Ford
    I'm a big fan of DBZ the show, and when I first saw this on imdb I was pretty psyched. But this looks awful. It doesn't remind me at all of the show. It reminds me of that first power rangers movie. They really should have approached this speed racer style, super accurate to the show, but they thought it would be cool to change it. Now Piccolo isn't even from Namek, he's just some guy with leukemia.
  • Jake Nelson
    good job fucking up Piccolo....awesome
  • JiveTurkey
    Is this Forbidden Kingdom 2:American Otaku Dream?

    looks like it was shot with a mini dv camera and a lamp to light it.
  • Will
    ugh piccollo not green and antennaless sigh. this movie will still be a very guilty pleasure for me haha
  • MKW
    I think this movie will surprise everyone.
  • Superman
    Yeah, it's today's Ninja Turtles.
  • Ghost
    Yeah surprise us how much worse it was from what we expected!
  • Korin
    This isn't Dragonball. Its just the name. Everyone who worked on this, "you fucked it up, good job!" I have been waiting for this since 2000. I heard Fox forced Akira Toriyama to sign a contract, which basically only allows him to have no input at all. In Sin City and 300 they had Frank Miler the creater help out and have major input. That's why those movies work. But fox fucked up. What person that says I have been watching Dragonball since i was young. then got a chance to make a Dragonball movie, decides not to make him green....WTF! Oh yeah this is a video of the girl who plays Chi Chi. She was on the real world I think. no acting experience. Click http://movies.ign.com/dor/objects/479331/dragon...
  • duca
    ...Wow, it looks absolutely NOTHING like Dragonball. >_<

    Once again a piece of my childhood is slowly dieing. WHY MUST YOU RAPE MY CHILDHOOD, OH CRUEL GODS?!

    Well, even if it's nothing remotely like Dragonball at least it looks like it might be a half decent adventure flick - Oh fuck it, I'm just going to rant again. SCREW YOU PEOPLE WHO RUINED THIS FRANCHISE. SCREW YOU ALL.

    ...Okay, I feel a little better now. Something tells me they're not going to try to capture Picollo in a rice cooker, eh?

    Ok growing up I was exposed to a lot of anime in the late 80s and early 90's...it wasn't until Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z that I actually was curious about anime on TV again....anime films had always carried high end productions and animation....with all of it's camp and cheesy lines Dragon Ball was still a million times better than other kids programs, even if it was originally intended for teenagers and adults...

    Now it looks like Fox has missed their target on yet another feature and trailer...hopefully they actually show more makeup special effects in the full trailer...because I'm far from impressed with these leaked images...Lord Piccollo not being green is something that will most likely make fans furious and turned off to this movie... It's bad enough Japanese source material has little involvement with Japanese actors.. if you've ever checked in with the Dragon Ball forums on IMDB a lot of race fueled arguments have been raging on ever since the casting was announced...mostly the fact white folks were cast in lead roles...

    Since I understand it's a Hollywood movie that they have to cast western leads I just don't understand the reasoning for casting people who aren't really known....when they could have cast well known Japanese actor/actress which will play better in Asian countries...which will be their target market for this film...If I remember correctly the anime craze is pretty much over with in North America...

    When live-action projects like Ghost In The Shell or Akira are optioned it makes sense because they're possible science fiction stories that could easily and seriously done on film...
  • lujs
    It waaaassss soooo fuckingggg haaaarrrddd to make Piccolo GREEN????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    OHH FUCK WONG!!!
  • Priest
    Piccolo = Voldemort??
  • Michael
    DragonBall Is My Fav Show And This Movie i reckon Will Be Great although i dont agree with sum of the choices James Wong has made, i still reckon it will still be great.
    I Think That Piccolo's Green Skin Will Be GCI'd in or sumthing like that cause everywhere i hav read they have said that piccolo will be green
    James Marsters even said it in an interview

  • Mag
    Lmao @ FOX movies
  • marz
    maaan piccolo looks like something outta star trek! and why would they add his color using C.G.I when they could just spray paint him green.this movie aint even out and already im thinkin...redo maybe with jerry bruckhimmer (sp) directing.
  • christ
    holy hell. all of you ladies and gents seriously need to consider suicide if you are even thinking about seeing this abortion of a film.
    good god almighty (sorry father).
    goodnight.
  • christ
    and fuck this movie to hell.
  • Chimaera
    I just saw that interview with Chi Chi that Korin posted...they're already thinking of making DBZ? Really? lol.
  • Superman
    looks like fox is on the hunt to get these pics taken down. too late fox.
  • Chris
    Hmmmmmmm, Piccolo doesn't look so terrible. I do like green, and I don't know why he can't be green either, except they wanted him to look more alien or something, I guess.

    Though, he doesn't look all that bad. Not enough for me to join in cursing this movie like you guys are. The action is bound to be good, and why you're all judging the movie from stills is beyond me.
  • Chris
    They shoulda started with just DBZ...

    I can just imagine the way transforming would look and the moves and all. It'd be sweet.
  • dvq
    THANK GOD Fox didnt do Watchmen or something like would be the result.
  • danny bell
    god dammit people

    will you fanboys just quit bellyaching and reserve judgement until you see the freakin film??!!!!!

    any direct adaptation of DB would be hazardous on the big screen in live-action

    let it go. see the film. comment later.......

    ;-D
  • christ
    but the thing is, i am NEVER going to see this film. mainly because it looks shit and dragonball IS shit.
  • Superman
    You'll see it. You're just jumping on the pessimism bandwagon like everyone else just to cushion the blow when this movie isn't the second coming. go see fucking harry potter 50 times ya bunch of high cinema indie movie snobs. Since when has the internet had such a high standards dragon ball is beneath them. Is it because of the overrated the dark knight? People think they're film historians or something.

    To that person who wrongly calles himself by the Lord's name and takes his name in vain in the replies above:

    Deuteronomy 5:11
    Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

    Psalms 139:20
    For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

    Doctrine and Covenants 63:61-62
    Wherefore, let all men beware how they take my name in their lips—
    For behold, verily I say, that many there be who are under this condemnation, who use the name of the Lord, and use it in vain, having not authority.
    Wherefore, let the church repent of their sins, and I, the Lord, will own them; otherwise they shall be cut off.
  • optimusprime
    I am a big fan of this cartoon and I think some fans are over reacting because the movie doesn't like the cartoon at all. This is suppose to be an adaption, not a copy. I am pleased with this pictures and I think this movie might have a potential to be great. The same s*** happen to Transformers and look how it turn out at the end.
  • Trieur
    Haha, there goes those supporters' "wait till you see the trailer" excuse. :lol: :lol:
  • Adam B.
    So I guess we're just supposed to turn the other cheek and not comment on it at all? Obviously we can't judge it based on the trailer or the actually film since they're not released. For now all we can discuss out hatred for these horrible screens. How can fans of DB(Z) even defend this? Goku going to high school? Piccolo looking like a Voldemort knockoff-- not even green? I mean really? The movie could be really great, but the characters are laughable. How can anyone take them seriously? They could have easily made it an epic movie, but they can even get the characters right. Let's hope their CG team is amazing, which I doubt.
  • Tobi
    Wow, all people that said looks good, your opinions are void. Piccolo isn't even GREEN. He looks the The Master from Buffy, which is ironic because James Marsters starred in that, too. Master Roshi isn't old, and doesn't have a beard. Goku isn't even muscular. They have totally soiled the name of DBZ and aren't even following the source material for the character design, so how is there hope for the storyline? They may as well just cast Samuel L. Jackson as Vegeta now, because it would make as much sense as anything else they have done. While they're at it, just make the dragonballs cubes.
  • Tobi
    And @ Superman: Indie film snobs? No, we just know poop when we see it. Brown and smelly, not hard to recognize.
  • Superman
    Lol you lot have no idea what to think. You just go along with whatever's popular at the time. If the internet says batmans the new godfather, you jump on it and enjoy the ride. admit it. Sheep. Sheep the lot of you.
  • Rene
    The link to the site isn't working, but the links to the pics (by Joseph Fritzl) are.. can anyone help me with that? I'd like to see the still...
  • Duval

  • Fabval
