Chow Yun-Fat as Roshi

Included in the translations are comments from the cast, and the director James Wong!

Goku – Justin Chatwin
I think it is an honor to play Goku. He is a universal character, as if a reincarnation of Luke Skywalker, really great character to play. Goku always takes action himself, is positive thinking, helps the weak. He had a great influence on myself.

Chi-Chi – Jamie Chung
This movie is the first action movie for me. I’m very proud of my first work in such a large scale. I enjoyed the martial arts training and everyone tried very hard. This movie is sure to be special,
please see this.

Yamcha – Joon Park
When I was a child, I had a lot of Japanese friends, I was familiar with Dragonball’s characters. Manga is a part of my life. Yamcha is an ironic and humorous character. He talks tough, but actually he is soft and a little weak on the inside. Please pay attention to his change through the journey.

Bulma – Emmy Rossum
Bulma is very funky, sexy and strong-minded, a wonderful character. I’m very happy to be able to play this role. I feel responsible for this role because there are many fan of the original manga. We are working hard to please the fans.

Master Roshi – Chow Yun-Fat
Master Roshi is a very funny guy. Anyway… he’s funny (laugh) Indeed, it is my first time in my career to play a manga character like this. Normally I can’t play a 300 year old man, but I enjoy playing this role. The director is doing good job, I think he mixes Eastern and Western culture well.

Dragonball is the best-seller manga from Weekly Shonen Jump. Original manga is made up of 42 volumes in a epic story. The animation has aired overseas, and has hardcore fans all over the world. But how will they make it into a movie ?

“Original manga is definitely a classic. Due to time constraints, I’m sorry I can’t adopt all the wonderful things from the original, but I’m happy I’m involved in this movie and I think it turned out well. I think the manga readers will find [many] things they have liked in the manga, that is, the spirit of the original,” director James Wong said.

Final Destination (2000), The One (2001) and etc. have received high acclaim for [their] own visual style, and we are anticipating the visual stylings in Dragonball!

    Everyone says someting good I am glad for the cast and I am glad for what they said. I have no complaints for Goku execpt for they having a guy like this play but I am glad that the made Goku look his same race and his color and by the way Goku is an alien with some human genics and they have no color. :idea: :D

    June 27th, 2008 at 01:19 | #4

    I personally think this movie is going to be a major let down due to the fact of all the major changes…everyone says oh i am tired of all the old episodes and re make games…but if they keep the changes in this movie i just believe its gonna push true fans away….just another fine example of Hollywood raping us for a dollar….How hard would it of been to have the writters sit down and just watch the episodes in which this movie is going to cover…then they would know that (as everyone has already pointed out)..krillin isn’t in it, the mistakes with master roshi, the lead character lookin ABSOLUTELY nothing like the series, no blue hair bulma, and many more….and the only thing that just shows about Hollywood not givin a shit about anything…GOKU WASN’T IN HIGH SCHOOL WTF IS UP WITH THAT???????

  5. haiz
    June 28th, 2008 at 02:07 | #5

    haiz… got to agree goku wasnt in high school, and the character playing goku doesnt look dumb and blur enough and the hair please make it higher and spikyer, final thing please make the lead character buffer.
    FINALLY PLEASE DONT DESTROY THE STORYLINE TO MUCH!!

    I think you pikolo is blue, more … the hair of crilin is a shit and a pink stupid … gohan the man should be more and have more trendy clothing such as baby blue ribbon in the chest Peludo …

    you are some gay, some cheap prostitutes who go to the vagina on the steps of the restaurants in Tokyo for a reduced price in days, still offer a fair and the ham slices.
    changing the subject you think of some pine Christmas without lights or star on top.

    sorry but I am a gay without owner looking for the 7 penis of crystal to ask the super dragon that I suck the penis so tasty and gostosona eccentric, but delicate.

    conctem me please if they have a large penis to the issue:

    @kush_killa:

    they are trying to modernize it and make the character’s seem more realistic and blurr the lines of reality. also Roshi’s character won’t be too bad… chow yung-fat seems to be hinting at the fact that roshi is as perverted as ever :)

    This is DB and it will be a little bit cheesy but when they come DBZ its gonna be goood… ONE THING i wonder is after this movie its the saiyan saga and Raditz will first arrive and its a bit weird if they defeat raditz and then its over or ith more weird if they Kill raditz and then comes vegeta and nappa like in the cartoon:? !!!!!!!!!!

    They cant have 3 bosses in same movie…first raditz then nappa and vegeta arrives later:? WTF!!! :?

    I don’t know why they didn’t include Goku’s BESTFRIEND and train buddy Krillin!!

    Major letdown!!! :x

    I think they could have gotten rid of ChiChi and put Krillin instead. He played a bigger role in this saga with Piccolo.

    July 17th, 2008 at 15:02 | #28

    This movie goes nothing with the story. Why even make the movie at all? This is easily answered, MONEY. This movie will suck and people like me know this, but will see it anyway-for fun/curiosity. I don’t like to judge before a movie comes out, but sometimes you can just tell. Toys will be made, video games will be half assed, and new cartoons will be made in Flash. I will always come home in the real DB worlds by just watching the cartoons unedited, and reading the manga. This movie is just… I don’t see Akira working at all with this, and he really should. But he made his money and I think he’s just tired of DB all together. He was pissed about DBGT, and probably just gave up at this point and said, “Yeah, just send me a check…”. We don’t need or want a new “Vision” of DB or DBZ, we go to see what we fell in love with in the first place. Oh well… Maby one day, someone will remake this movie like all other movies out there but make it closer to what it should be. Goku should be a kid, not a story of a young man falling in love. And everyone here knows Goku’s personality, it will change to a more “Dark” character to suit today’s stupid mass audiences. All I want in a Live Action DB movie is start with kid Goku VS Palif, RR army, then Piccolo. It makes three movies for DB alone. Then DBZ movies could go in order Saiyan, Freeza, Cell/Androids, Buu. Why is that so hard? Compact the story with out giving an inch. Look at Lord of the Rings. It gave up Tom Bumble dill-not sure of spelling-but he wasn’t that important anyway like Sa-now or Snow from penguin village. I could understand that, but no Palif??? He was VERY important to DB!!! I’m ranting now, so … this movie is NOT DragonBall.

    July 18th, 2008 at 00:31 | #29

    well i just wanted to let the producers and all who’s working on the film, that i know it’s hard to mirror match the way the characters are on the show but try and do the best you can. All we (the fans) want is you not to mess up the most exciting cartoon ever.

    and give “Goku” a tail!!! i mean really he had a tail in dragonball series.
    Don’t for get about the Kamehameha, and Nembus!!!
    well that’s all for now. Til we meet again, BYE!!! :D

    August 1st, 2008 at 18:34 | #33

    I am excited to see how this movie turns out. I am slightly dissapointed in the fact that not all characters resemble the originals but Justin Chatwin resembles Goku more than any actor in this world probably would. And everyone who thinks this will be a dissapointment? Remember It’s just DRAGONBALL. None of the story in this takes place during the DBZ era. Rest assured, if this fails, we have DBZ to look forward to after the 3 Dragonball movies. But I think this will turn out great honestly. It’s just the special effects I’m hoping will turn out amazing.

  34. August 3rd, 2008 at 08:57 | #34

    im hoping this will be a gd film =] it should be the characters have been matched pretty well im gutted there is no krillin tho but never the less =]

    long time to wait as well =[

    but it should be goooooood :D

    people who are saying “goku is an alien, what makes you think he is asian, or what makes you think saijins are asian.” what makes you think aliens are white.

    and matthew, you are a racist. don’t give me that bullshit that you have asian friends and thus it is alright to make shit about asian people. and what you said about if the casts were all asian, that is fucking racist. you were saying that any movie with an all asian cast would blow.

    oh so it is an adaption of the original manga, so why didn’t they adapt it so that goku will land in the united states, why did they have to just change the “physical” ethnicity of goku.

    neon genesis, akira, 21, these movies are are movies that have white people play asian roles. you see a trend here? do you?

    August 21st, 2008 at 22:41 | #38

    Guys, guys. We are all hardcore DBZ fans (at least some of us) and we should all know when a classic is going to be shitted on. They are changing aspects of DB that make it DB. Why the hell is every cast member japanese expect for the two most important fighters, and if you’ve seen Kami’s lookout for the movie you would know that it’s not in the sky. And why the hell is Goku a freakin teenager? When the hell is he a teen in the Dragonball series? As excited as I am to see a DB movie coming to life, I know deep down in my DBZ hardcore fan bones that this movie is gonna suck hella ass…… Sorry.

  39. SadFan
    August 23rd, 2008 at 20:47 | #39

    I have to agree with D_None. There’s so many things wrong with this. If they wanted to have an older Goku, they should have made a DBZ film. And of all the characters to be left out: Krillin? Really? This is indeed a sad day for all of us who grew up watching this series.

  40. Trav
    August 25th, 2008 at 06:29 | #40

    I dunno. It looks like a cross over of DBZ and highschool musical. I hope not.
    Goku never went to school he grew up in the wilderness with his grandpa Gohan.
    Its looks like a teen drama type of bollocks. :?
    I hope it goes well ( fingers crossed)
    They Better make Vegeta Badass!

    PLEASE CEASE PRODUCTION on this movie at ONCE!!!! YOUR GOING TO TARNISH the DBZ franchise!!!! i fear its too late but every day i pray that this production will go bankrupt. There is no way this movie will ever reach the standard of the DBZ anime. ALL THESE ACTORS ARE TERRIBLY MATCHED!!!! and who the fuk is Justin Chatwin he has the dopiest look about him. NOT WORTHY OF GOKU
    THIS MUST NOT COME TO PASS u will not be getting my 11$ at the oz boxoffice

    September 24th, 2008 at 23:36 | #46

    i read on some site that every1 one on the film and cast…. have only read the manga like week before they started shooting the film……. so i dont think they know each persons personality… and got goku and vegeta all mixed up…. these gay dude (justin) look so serious………. nothing like goku

    ilike goku cuz he makes a joke that is not funny sumtimes… and ilaugh (dont know why)…….

    so ithink this s why change the story… cuz they havent watched it yet….. like those reviewers…. theyll judge anything on the first 10 sec of the intro

    and oh yeah…. iwould expect the cast to be asian.. cuz the cartoon was made in asia…. it was born in asia so goku is full blood asian.. and every asian watched db,dbz so theyll know each persons personality…. but americans are producing it (but u couldve given picollos roll to vin disel haha) isay gud luck with the tomatoes

    Now Goku doesn’t change into Oozaru form, or giant ape! He just grows 8 feet tall! This is soooo Power Rangers! Have any of you seen the bad guys that look like Puddies! They really need to stop making this film. Really Really REALLY NEED to STOP making this film! Such a huge waste of money and making this into a studio only film. They don’t care if it’s good or not. They know that some of you will at least go to see it and collectors will impulsively buy it. Just torrent it!!! If they make it, it will be watched. But don’t give them their money back. The more support they get, they WILL make more! Let me repeat this again…
    THEY WILL MAKE MORE OF THIS IF YOU SUPPORT IT! DON’T SEE THIS MOVIE AT THE THEATERS UNLESS YOUR CAMMING IT FOR THE REST OF US TO SEE! Don’t buy it on DVD or your supporting this studio, paperwork, chart and meeting, board member non artistic CRAP! It is worthy of watching it to spit on it for the piece of trash that it is. As far as the race crap being spewed out of ass holes, I don’t care about race. It’s from a cartoon that takes place on Earth, but it isn’t the world that we live in! Race is extended to animals for God’s sake! Stop blabbing about Race! But to wrap up this rant, it’s all up to you and me. The fans make this live or die. Don’t buy or spend any money on it and it will disappear except on racks of comic book stores, ebay, and from the people who actually did buy this crap. Dust will collect and maby a new franchise will come about that is worth a damn. Like actually backed by Akira! But I do look for hope in movies for the fans that might be made in the future. Like look at Batman! It’s different, but it’s getting better right?! Look to the true fans and you will find that NO ONE in the business of just making money are EVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, eveerrrr true fans of the arts! They’re just fans of the money that it makes.

    October 20th, 2008 at 16:21 | #49

    All i have to say is the movie does look interesting and personally i think the movie would be more of a success if it wasnt called dragon ball. Im impressed that there even trying to make it. I have the original dragon ball live action movie from i think it was early 90’s or late 80’s and i liked that one even though there was no krillen. but i really wish kirllen could be in this movie no matter how many times he gets beat hes still an awesome character. I have to admit piccolo looks great but wheres his anteni?????? wheres gokus tail? where yamchas sword? where master roshis turtle shell? i have to say im gonna go see it just cuz im curious but i have a feeling its just gonna be a good martial arts film not a great adaptation of dragon ball.

    October 31st, 2008 at 09:09 | #50

    I think dragonball the movie is going to be a hit and I wish they would make a movie for every saga in the series. Piccalo looks mean and evil like he should. Goku looks pure hearted and strong just like the anime goku and chi chi looks great. But the real pay off in this movie is what they are going to look like when they power up and how they work as a team which they do every time in the manga. Anyway Im going to see this movie and probably buy it suck or not becuase Dragonball z changed my life and gave me somthing to live for. By the way if you people were real fans you would nt put the movie down if you have any love at all for the anime! :D
