The Official Goku/Justin Chatwin Thread

Not possible. There has not been a new film since the mid nineties in Japan.

Also, History of Trunks and the Bardock were not movies, but rather TV specials.

So Wrath of the Dragon was the last one made in Japan and the US?
 
Bio Broly was horrible, especially Kid Trunks. Flashing his ass like that. Child services!

Wrath of the Dragon was really good ;D
 
my favorit DBZ movie will always be the first one with Cooler.

that one was pretty good.
 
To quote Krillin from DBZ BT3:

"Freeza had a brother!?!? Give me a break!"
 
Well hey, Freeza's got a son too!


But yeah, movie thirteen came out in Japan in 1995 I think and then it finally came out in America about twelve years later.
 
Can someone tell me what the big screaming deal is about goku going to school?

"ZOMFG GOKu IN SCHOOLZ?! THIS MOOVEE WILL EPIC PHAILZ"

It's human nature to complain for no reason. That's the answer to anything really.
 
Yeah but it's really annoying, blind hate for a move we've barely seen hide nor tail of
 
My favorite movie is the Fusion one with Janemba. My dad got me the Japanese version off ebay for Christmas back when I was in 8th grade. :up:

there's no reason for Goku to be in school. it's a sign that the creators don't fully understand the world of DBZ.

keep on defending.

I know you mean well but you mean the world of Dragonball as that's the franchises actual all-encompassing name. Either that or you could refer to it as the Dragon World as Toriyama does. :cwink:
 
Well the fact that you people seem to be so obsessive about this single liberty taken in a film adaptation baffles me. Go watch the anime instead.
 
Well hey, the entire point of the character is that he's a hick from the mountains who is not the most intelligent guy in the world but still a good man. Placing him in a high school setting does not really bode well for the rest of his portrayal.
 
I was reading JP's blog and I found this comment by Kaboom which was amazing.

Kaboom:

"Vegeta... frankly, shut up. There's a difference between having an opinion, and just being annoying and disruptive. Guess which you are. If you hate even the idea of this movie as much as you do (Which I'm actually beginning to doubt, based on how focused you seem to be on it), then ignore it, and get your psychotic self the hell out of here so the rest of us don't have to suffer any longer from your trollish ramblings. I've looked at your profile on here and the other places which have the displeasure of your presence, and I've come to conclude that you are a depressed, violent, and over-obsessed nutjob. You're also, quite possibly, the worst example of a DragonBall "fan" I've ever seen. Stubborn, angry, pessimistic, and immature. I suggest you get off the internet, and go out for some anger management counseling, because we normal, sane, healthy people are sick of your inane bull****.



That being said and done with... yeah, these high school characters are obviously *extremely* minor. The fact that their filming is completely finished after only a few days goes to show that. The logical and smart people have been trying to point that out for a while. What we've heard on the actual plot of the movie describes things and events SO great and SO far beyond the insignificant school portion... yet people are purposely blinding themselves to those brilliant aspects, and only focusing on the tiny details that they don't like.

Yeah, Goku from the manga/anime has (probably) never gone to school a day in his life. But apparently, "movie Goku" does. I ask.. "So what?!" Is that alone going to make this a horrible movie? The answer, straight up, is a resounding "NO." It will be a bit *different* from DragonBall the manga/anime, is all. Probably the only purpose the high school scenes will serve is to introduce a character or two, and demonstrate Goku's strangeness. After that, Lord Piccolo is introduced and the movie starts. So quit throwing a fit over the school, people. It's stupid, unfounded, immature, and annoying."

He obviously took a fair amount of time to illustrate his opinion in an intelligent manner, I think you should read it.

thanks for the tip!

yes...because Goku going to high school is the ONLY thing that people complain about and because all of us OBVIOUSLY want things changed from the anime.
 
A funny element lost because of this setting change is the fact that Son knows next to nothing as to what a female is having not ever met one until the day he met Bulma.

While all this does ring true for the poster Vegeta.. I don't know anyone on *this* forum who is anything like that.

lol...i remember that episode!


to the pro-high schoolers i have to ask...what ADVANTAGE does putting Goku in a high school give the story? imo, it's a DISADVANTAGE because it makes him more typical and less unique. you lose the fish out of water aspect that Goku had.
