Just saw this on IGNand thought it was quite good.

I'm not the biggest DB fan but I would love to see a full DB live action film like that.

If you mean it's a joke as in not for a real film then yes I know, that's why I stated it as being a Fan Made Trailer in the title.

It still pisses all over DB Evolution though.

I think that we have to accept the fact that there are things animation can get away with that live action cannot.

The actors, costumes, and special effects are all bad. Maybe it's better than most fan-made videos, but they're still not showing Hollywood how to do anything.

I'd say the Matrix changed that viewpoint for me if it wasn't for the fact many of the better fight scenes were heavily enhanced by CG or just plain CG period. I think there is, however, the inability for people to make energy beams the size of Kansas coming from a humonoid's hands look anything but corny in live action.

DBZ is far too farcicle to translate to live action.

Its an excellent attempt, and i do believe that movie would be 100x better than the real live action movie, but DBZ is a series that i could never take seriously as a live action movie :P

Definitely a well done effort with what limited resources I am sure they had available to them.

This does illustrate the fundamental flaws of why a live-action DBZ movie can't work though.

You can never get actors to look even close to alot of the characters on the show, and the special effects are liable to look incredibly corny when they get to throwing out their energy attacks.

I do think this team was onto something though with how they shot it. though.

I think the only way we could have a "live action" type dragonball z is to make a CGI film thats realistic looking. The problem with Dragonball Z and it being live action is how to do make super sayians in real life? Bleach blonde hair maybe, but then you need the actors to physically grow in size and be super ripped. I think special effects wise, thats probably the easiest part, the most difficult is getting the right actors for the job.

Sorry, but that looked absolutely dreadful. I mean, it's obvious that they put a ton of work into it, but that is NOT "how to do live action" by any means.

The Piccolo made me laugh, mostly because I've seen much better make-up work.

Still, it was a fun watch.

The Last Airbender can work, the project was just given to a hack,

DBZ is a series that just doesn't translate well to live-action. Stick with the anime/manga.

It can be, it just needs a good writer, director, and a budget comparable to Avatar

Sadly the later keeps the studios at bay, which keeps the formers away as well.

I still think that DBZ being a live action movie is a stupid idea.

:lol: this! Everytime I saw Piccolo I died. But still, for a fan made trailer, it's definitely impressive and nostalgia surely helps. I actually got goosebumps at the powering-up scenes lol. I'd probably watch in the theater for half price.

Besides the terrible CGI (which i will admit was very good for fan made) the martial arts they performed was probably even worse.

I don't know how live action actors can act the way characters in DBZ act without looking laughably ridiculous.

By adapting the characters & story, and not simply going for a copy and paste.

Anything can be made into a good movie, just sometimes you have to rip out its guts.

For instance, they could take a comedic route akin to Scott Pilgrim

or in contrast a grimdark route where the fights are takien seriously(no mid battle chats or 5 min power ups)
