[img]Here’s my attempt at translating that post from hoycinema, WARNING there is a lot of SPOILERS if this is anyway true:

To start, Hoycinema says that they are not sure of this person’s credibility.

Here’s what the persons says:

-He has seen the film, Dragonball, in one of the presentations by Fox. He works for Fox as technical supervisor of their films. Essentially, his job is to make sure that the film is reproduced well when transferred onto the film rolls for the different theatres. He says that he has always been a fan of Dragonball Z, but isn’t real one of Dragonball. He then said he would answer questions, which is what he did. He also said that the trailer is still slated to release with Max Payne, but could release as early as the 15th of October.

Info About the Film:

-He didn’t specifically enjoy the movie as a fan of the series, but that was specifically because he is not a fan of Dragonball. He admits that some dragonball fans will be disappointed by the changes in the mythos, but that at the very least, the special effects are impressive.

-He assures everyone Marsters comes off exactly like Piccolo, even making use of a deeper voice. He also says Marsters has some of the best action scenes in the film. In his opinion, it was a unique way to correctly translate the character from the anime.

-Nobody has seen the film, except those allowed by Fox. He goes on to state the girl from imdb probably hasn’t seen the film (though, he doesn’t say there’s no way she could have either.) He goes on to say that even though Fox wants to keep the film a secret, if it was easy enough for him to speak about it, it’s possible others could have as well.

-He loved Marsters as Piccolo, but he found Chatwin as Goku a bit annoying. (Again, just his opinion.)

His answers to peoples’ questions:

-Goku uses the Nyoibou in the film. The effects around its use are amazing

-Krillin makes a cameo, killing one of Piccolo’s demons (aka, the Fullum Assassins)

-There is a scene at the end of the film, having to do with Gohan (baby Gohan, I’m assuming.)

-Goku’s Kamehameha is perfected throughout the film, and uses it in the final fight against Piccolo as a last resort. At this point, the Kamehameha is performed perfectly, winning Goku the fight. The forming of the Kamehameha seems to match the speed of the anime.

-Goku fights againt Fuller in school.

-Goku doesn’t have a tail in the movie

-One of the things Roshi teaches Goku is to control his Ki. In the final battle, Goku raises his ki, and the camera actually goes “Shaky” as he’s powering up. Goku smiles when Piccolo is surprised at his level of power.

Mai’s Transformations in the film:

-Mai transforms into Goku at one point, to decieve his friends. This leads to a fantastic battle with Bulma VS Mai, where Bulma apparently kills Mai.

-Mai fights ChiChi, and looses, but the loss was feigned to get ChiChi’s blood and bring it to Piccolo, and use the blood to decieve Goku and company.

About the use of Songs from the Anime in the movie:

-He states that Makafushigi Adventure is played by a marching band at the World Tournament, before the battle begins

-He also says Alicia Keys will sing Romantic Ageru Yo as the closing song for the film

Other film facts:

-Goku will use an all blue gi, an all orange gi, and then a special combination of both at the end. He also wears fairly normal street clothes.

-Piccolo doesn’t kill the dragon

-Shenron is almost exactly like the anime, except they’ve managed to make him look realsitc.

-Shenron is voiced by Chris Sabat

-The Kamehameha wave is used 5 times

-Pilaf, Tienshinhan and Kami do not appear in this film

-A mixture of martial arts styles is used in the movie, but in several fights Goku is featured in (fights against the demons, roshi and Piccolo) the fighting style is specifically dragonball-esque. The After Image is used a number of times, and the effects for it are apparently “cool.” He goes on to say the fights are so fast, you feel them.

-Piccolo is indeed like we have seen in the photos

-Piccolo starts out old, and becomes young by the end

-There are several fights- Goku Vs the Bullies, Goku Vs Bulma, Goku VS Demons(Fullums), Piccolo VS Roshi, Goku VS Yamcha. (He has listed the others already, such as Goku VS Piccolo and Bulma VS Mai, etc.)

-Goku transforms, but the Oozaru is not a Gorilla. It is more of a monstrous Goku, and a terrible creature.

-Says the running time is around 1 hour and 40 minutes

-Does not know the rating, but he thinks it’s PG-13

-The credits show Gohan around the time he is born

-Final Battle takes place in an abandoned city. The fighting is down right brutal, full of After Images and Ki Blast Explosions. Bulma and the others watch Goku VS Piccolo, their clothes are charred, especially Goku’s. At one point during the fight, Goku has trouble breathing, and coughs up blood.

-The DragonBalls are used twice.

-When Chenron is summoned, it is brilliant. The sky darkens, and very dramatic music is played.

-Bulma’s Father is in the movie

-Capsule Corp is not shown.

-Goku’s hair is always an outright mess

-Chatwin plays the role of Goku very heroically. Goku keeps his love of food in the movie, as well as his love of fighting. He is not afraid to fight anyone, and enjoys fighting.

-The Kamehameha uses the same sound effect as the anime. Chow Yun Fat and Chatwin sound good doing the move.

-Bulma’s father is killed. A demon simply steals his Dragonball.

-The gang (Roshi, Bulma and Goku) look for one of the Dragonballs in a cave, in a dessert. Roshi and Bulma fall into a moving-sand trap, curtacy of Yamcha, who wants to rob them, and tries to fight Goku for their stuff. Goku out-maneuvers Yamcha with his speed, but Goku is tricked into falling into the sand trap as well. Yamcha mocks them a bit, until Roshi tells Yamcha about Piccolo, and what will happen if he gets all 7 dragonballs. Scared for his life, Yamcha helps them out of the trap and joins their adventure

About Goku’s transformation:

-Goku grows, his canines become larger, and his eyes turn demonic. Doesn’t capture Roshi and the others.

-Goku pardons Piccolo.

-The temple of the monks is hidden in a forest

-The Kintoun doesn’t appear

About Chatwin’s interpretation of the Character:

-Chatwin does better than everyone expected him to, but on that note, Marsters was just as good as everyone expected him to be

-Goku and Chi-Chi kissed, which he found annoying

About The Demons (Fullum Assasins):

-Through the use of CGI, the demons in the movie move much faster than they look to be able to. They give Goku a run for his money, but he is able to beat them after his training.

-The Demons slice and break through a lot of things, and send Goku through a lot of walls.

-The Capsules aren’t in it.

-Pilaf isn’t in the film because Piccolo is the perfect villain

Things he liked about the movie:

- The Special Effects- from the dragon to the Kamehameha, to the action scenes, the effects are brilliant

-The use of Makafushigi Adventure and Romantic Ageru Yo in the film

-Goku being “battle-damaged” in the final battle

-Marsters as Piccolo

-Goku’s friends watching him/trying to help as fights. A lot of the time when Goku is fighting, Roshi is helping to fight as well. (I think this refers to the Demons.)

-Humor in the film

Things he did not like about the film:

-Roshi isn’t perverted

-Goku and ChiChi’s kiss

-He feels the movie is sort of rushed (a lot of stuff happens)

His final comment is as follows:

-Everything was decent as far as my tastes go, it’s not a “Thinking” movie, but he thinks it will do good in the box office. He’s eagerly awaiting a sequel.[/img]
