Chow Yun-Fat Mentions Dragonball
Chow Yun-Fat very briefly mentioned Dragonball in this recent article.
Chow seems to have lost some weight since his last appearance in Hong Kong and he smiled that he had has lost around 10 lbs because he was not able to acclimatise to the conditions during filming for Dragonball recently in Mexico. He joked that he was detoxing by eating gravel like dogs and cats do.
It would appear as though he did not shave his head for the role, but perhaps they used a bald cap.
In addition to that, DBMB reports that James Marsters (Piccolo) had gotten his teeth bashed in on the set of Dragonball.
James Marsters, who played Spike on the show, refused to smile because, he said, he’d had his teeth bashed in on the set of Dragonball, the Chow Yun-Fat movie filming in Mexico. Marsters said he’d come directly from the airport to the Buffy reunion, and didn’t want to show us his pearly whites until he’d seen a dentist.

Would be cool if you gave me some credit for finding that bit of info. =p j/k
I’m praying to the greek gods that they give him a bald cap and a fake beard!
How important is that to the story, though? I mean it would be nice… but they’ve changed a lot.
Is it to much to ask to have a bald Master Roshi with a beard? Its pointless to change something like that.
We won’t know until the trailer.
That is true! I’m growing impatient…. Its almost as if 20th Century Fox is messing with everyones mind by giving us a pic of Weaver and Emmy instead of Goku and Piccolo or some other major character. My patience is running low, Fox needs to release something official (Other than Teto screenshots)
They’re obviously just gonna’ keep delaying this for another six years and another and another. It’s never comming out! NEVER!!!! Those fanboys on IMDB are probably just producers from Fox. Think about it! They start making a good movie way back in 2002, don’t release it in 2022, and they have a perfectly good twenty year marketing tool. And all they have to do is go on IMDB and start some fake rumors saying, “Oh! I swear, the trailer’s in this lame movie”. They’re making money off of us before the release
Hah, I hope you’re not serious Newfuture.
Uh oh Adam!! Newfuture is scaring me and you know that’s a bad thing.
Im supposed to be the weird one
oh yeah by the way
Master Roshi wasn’t always bald….
Remember he had hair during the tournament, or was that Jackie Chun????
Sike im just playing!!!! Though Goku never figure out Jackie Chun was really master roshi.
How could he not know Jackie is Master roshi?? What a weirdo?
Yamacha rocks, because he knew the whole time.
HEy Adam was it just me or was you mad that Goku lost the first world tournament? I wanted Goku to win
I hope he wins in the movie
Jackie Chun boooooooooooooo
Whoaaaaaaaaaa Chow Yun got skinny!!
Hmmm hmmmm hmmmmmm……
I have no idea if this movie will be bad or good or anything that it SHOULD be but…
all I can say is that appearance is everything and all the fans deserve to see their anime characters be brought to life on the big screen with every detail as possible. Yes, Goku’s hair would be hard to do but you know what? If the hair styles in the links below can be done, Goku’s hair can be done in a non-cheesy way.
(Don’t know if the links will work but just image google “crazy hair”)

But oh well. Personally, I would love to see db characters in a movie look dead on exactly the way they do in the anime.
Well, i’m happy that Chow Yun-Fat is trying to look good for his roll! Thanks for the news!
you think hell wear the turtle shell or the sea turtle will be in it?-how bout the sun glasses?-you think goku and krillian will have to find the stone that looks like the turtle shell?-will roshi wear sunglasses and read playboy?-lol!!!!
-will goku save the seaturtle is that how he finally gets accepted to train with roshi?—–but in all reality i think this movie is fake and never coming out cause theres no evidence of pics or anything showing squat that has to do with dragon ball at all yet?-the orange gi pics and the girls in spandex pics are fake they have to be!!!-they are way too cheezy looks like something out of the horrible mortal kombat series movies!!!!!!!!
Hey, Master roshi better be a goofy pervert, but a badass. thats all i want.
relax it’s only 10 lbs. It’s not like it will be really noticeable. I lost 10 lbs of fat and looked the same and I’m like 5′8.
So anyway, does this mean he’ll live in the mountains. There’s a reason he’s the turtle hermit. Kame House=Turtle House–why? Let’s see, it’s an island in the sea so turtles go by. I don’t see many turtles living in the mountains. His name is Kame by the way, aka the Turtle Hermit.
Robert, how can you possibly think this movie is fake. Chatwin and Marsters have both done interviews. There is a video of Chatwin doing an interview about the movie on YouTube. Look it up. I wish the movie was fake though.
It might be a good thing since Master Roshi was very skinny anyway, I hope they put his transformation in the movie where got buff; but that would have to be done in CGI. Let’s just hope, and I don’t think it matters if he’s bald or not.
it just seems like they are gonna can the project…………thats all im saying.-they better have his home on an island or atleast by the beach!!!-otherwise that would be completely stupid!!!!-plus mexico has some beautiful beaches!!!!-i mean they could make it look like a shrine or dojo it doesnt have to look like a house pink and white with kame written on it…-it could even be a little home on a dock with the asian architecture that would be fine…………but him in the mountains that would suck-i mean they portray him as a beach bum if you think about it?-they could have him surfing or just sitting around in sandals and swim trunks fishing even!!!-guys you agree with what i said about those pics looking like mortal kombat spinoffs made for tv,right?!!!-they looked so cheesy!!!!!!!!!!!!!-the girls in spandex and the random guy in blk/rd outfit????-who the hell are those people?
-anyways i want to see goku w/perfect anime costume and hes gotta have the rd/bu booties !!!!!-not sandals or ninja shoes!!-anywyas its just little things errcking me ya know?—-wanna see the demon assasins and real db pics in full uniforms and maybe a quick shot of a standoff with goku and someone?-not too much to ask?-theres so many movies that arent coming out till summer 09 and theres full stories and pics already out?-they give us a crappy pic of two people that have nothing to do with anything!!!???-might as well as took a pic of the guy who brings the sandwiches to the actors then these nobodies??????????????-am i right or what guys?????????-you feelin’me on this?
Why do you type such long comments? I mean why in the hell would anyone wanna read that much about one person’s opinion lol.
ha ha Sadballz
im at work doing this so im already in a writing mood on the computer!-sorry guys-work is work but dragon ball is dragon ball!!!!!!!!!!!-more important -lol!!
Of course Dragonball is way more important lol.
or jake Gyllenhaal as vegeta hes a great actor and still looks young
yeah, what Zach said.
as long as Roshi is the same old goofy perv that we all know and love, it won’t matter what he looks like…
Adam, you should upload those pics of the workers dismantling the Macrosets in Durango. Just go to Hoycinema. Also, here’s a link for the video on youtube of some fans recording it, they must had a cheap camera cause the quality’s pretty weak.

Ouch, poor Marsters. That’s gotta suck bad, I remember getting surgery after my nose got bashed in. It’s not a fun experience.
On a side note, I wonder if the fights will just be like any other kung fu movie with minimal cgi. Marsters said the budget was 100 million, but I kinda think that was really overexagerrated. Maybe $100 mil at max, but I just can’t see a 100 minute movie being made in Durango costing that much. Especially if they’re sacrificing things like Kami’s palace being in the sky, instead it’s on the ground (I’m pretty sure that’s the palace). It’s not that hard, Sky High had the school which looked like Kami’s lookout in the sky.
Sean,
Since you want it here you go:

I dont think James got his teeth punched in by Chow Yun-Fat. The format of the paragraph is weird, its says “he’d had his teeth bashed in on the set of Dragonball, the Chow Yun-Fat movie filming in Mexico.” The Chow Yun-Fat part describes the movie Dragonball and not that he was the one responsible for punching James. But anyways, must have been some intense fighting!
That’s true, but I doubt Justin Chatwin broke his teeth
That’s got to hurt!
Ouch!!!!
wow don’t mess with fat
Chill out the movie is being perfected till it comes out. we will see everyone soon, they are just gonna give us bits here and there until we have a trailer. I’m sure we are going to see the toys sooner or later. with posters and and a teaser. there are people being paid to surf the web for sites like this, so they know we want pics videos ect and are gonna milk this money cows the weeks before its release. I’m sure this movie will be good just look at past movies and todays advancements in graphics and film, sure the story is altered but think about it theres so much more to DB Vegeta, Freeza… once this movie comes out and if it does very well I’m sure the casting wwill be perfected. im sick of this racial debate whites vs azn actors OH WELL SUCK IT UP. James Mcavoy would fit Vegeta I think he could pull it off. But for Freeza we would need some one really really dark I think the only way to pull off freeza on the big screen is to make him 10 times more evil then the show and alot darker and ruthless. and a terrifying look so he is feared bring a big shock value to the movie like crap your pants scary.
with the whole thing about master roshi’s house being in the mountains, does anyone remember while goku and krillin were training with him they relocated his house to the mountains? his home may be initially on an island or beach but moved into the mountains when goku trains with him. just a thought.
they could have the guy who plays abe sapien put on the freeza body suit?-cant think of his name right now?-or even better have a little kid dressed in the body suit with a cgi tail!!!!!-have the guy who does the voice for goliath from gargoyles,spawn,the navy commercials etc…..do his voics-that would be scary shit?!!!!!right?-or the whole kid thing i was talking about before but give freeza a creepy robotic little kid echoing voice that just echoes through you when you here on screen!!!!!with vampire like fangs and glowing purple through the orbs on his body and red glowing contact lenses to boot with some sharp reptilian claws!!!!-that would be sweet!!!!!-that just an idea for the namek saga for second movie???-third movie have the adroids have a plasticy like look to their skin so they almost look fake!!!!-with blind eyes!!!!!-now thats androids right there!!!-yep i have some time to think of this stuff huh?
Why, thank you very much adam lol.
its was xoxo awesome!!
im a big fan of dragon ball ..
the makers of this films is unbeatable!!
yeah!! rock on guys -
