Posted by: David In: Anime News

Here it is: footage of footage from the movie nobody asked for but they made it anyway Live Action Dragonball Trailer. The video clip is courtesy of beyondhollywood.com.

Bootleg Live Action Dragonball Trailer

UPDATED: If I had to sum up my thoughts on the trailer in one word, it would be ‘underwhelmed’. I am biased when it comes to the Dragonball franchise - there’s something about it that I’ve never been able to ‘get’. So it’s no suprise that I’m not too excited about the movie after seeing the bootleg trailer footage.

For those of you who are super Dragonball fans, what do you think about it after seeing the bootleg trailer?

Hmm, I don’t think it’s the first ever live action movie. That “honor” belongs to the chinese live action film. Still, I’ve never been a fan of the dragon ball show. This looks about on par with something like “warriors of virtue”

While it’s not exactly overwhelming, I have to ask if anyone really expected it to be? I mean, at this point people have really gotten sick of Dragon Ball and all it’s various iterations, so to say you’re underwhelmed is kind of unnecessary, yes? As far as movies meant to be aimed at the young teen set go, it doesn’t really look that bad. I’m sure it will be better than the sure to be god-awful Street Fighter movie that’s in production.

Anna - I completely agree.

Chris - I’ve heard about the unofficial Chinese version. Have you seen it?

UncleHappy - I think you make a great point about my use of the word ‘underwhelmed’. I’ve revised my statement to a slightly more nuanced one.

freetriptojapan - Most of the bootleg trailers for Dragonball have been pulled by the studio, but hopefully we’ll get an official high-quality version soon.
