This is goku in the new live action DBZ movie, I expected an asian actor :(

Keep in mind, even abbreviated swear words aren't allowed. If you must "WT", use "WTH" for "What the hell". - Ollie

[IchigoKiss]

That is just terrible I thought it was some football player ==;;

[Saint Seiya]

Looks like Kaka, but yea, its Goku.. which is sad..

[Wio]

This movie is gonna be SO awesome. The only question is "What's with those forearms?"

[Ollie]

lol

lol

LOL

That looks like a badly edited photograph of some dude stuck on some other guy's head with his arms copy-pasted-reflected. Aaahahahaa.

"SO awesome"? How about painful. Especially the 20 threads that are going to pop up every week in this forum over it. Bah!

[EnneadNokonx]

Think that's bad? James Marsters (who played Spike on the Buffy and Angel series) is going to be cast as Lord Piccolo... :unsure:

[TheAsterisk!]

This movie looks like one to watch once, mock mercilessly, and then discard forever, not unlike The Final Countdown (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080736/).

Though it's a strange person to pick to play Piccolo, James Marsters is actually one of my favorite actors.

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

Wow. just. wow. I thought that Goku was going to be portrayed by an Asian guy?? 0.0 Where did I go wrong??:ninja:

I've seen his pic and he protrays piccolo pretty well.

I know, but at least Yamcha and Chi Chi will be played by asian actors and yamcha's actor is pretty good looking, check out the pic below and should've been chosen as goku.

What the frig? .. Well... I guess he looks like Goku a little bit..

[Ollie]

Let's hope your love of him proves wise and true, then.

[Amarhyllis]

Why...Why...Why...
Just seeing that makes me want to cry.
Why not cast an Asian person? Why do they have to have some cookie cutter pretty boy? This movie's gonna suck, that's all I have to say.

[Ollie]

Well, Goku IS an alien, and I don't recall it ever being explicitly stated he looked like a Japanese guy (although I -think- this happens in futuristic Japan and he blended in pretty well with its people, but I never knew nor cared much for those details, especially since Sailor Moon's blue eyes and blonde hair seemed perfectly normal for Tokyo. Frickin' anime).

blackrosetwilight: can you post that picture? I'd like to see it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Which picture? There's a lot of them.

[Ollie]

The one where you described the Buffy actor portraying Piccolo.

Unless you meant you saw the actor's portrait, not a picture of him dressed as Piccolo? Because in that case, I can't imagine it.

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

Wait a minute...I always thought that the characters on DBZ(well, the black haired ones anyways) were supposed to be representing Chinese people?? 0.0 That's what I was told a while ago. >.>

NOOOOOO!! T.T Not Marsters. Not Spike/BrainIAC. Why should he have his good name, rep, and good looks be tainted by a movie that may have a chance of being a success?

[SupaWeena]

he shares a resemblance withy goku.... It is just so weird, american actor shooting a japenese anime in mexico..well, there goes my lunch

[Flah Blah]

Guess who this guy is suppose to be?


We can't handle the truth.

[SupaWeena]

yeah my entire hopes to one day train with king kai just went down the potty. At first i was like "Oh yeah cant wait" now i am like "For the love of kind some one kill me"

[Memento Mori]

I will never look at DBZ the same way again.

[PS: This movie is gonna suck.]

[Datenshi]

Name one American movie that's based on an anime and actually pulled it off (I'm saying American because I liked Casshern no matter what people say, they're usually pretty horrible in Japan too) . Just one.

I know Hollywood is out of ideas and all, but why can't they just spit out another Jurassic Park 6 or Die Hard 5, or actually grow a brain and finally make a long overdue Deadpool movie or something?

Feh.

[S3PH1]

i think that this movie will destroy the DB reputation T_T just read the story and you will know why i said this

[The Monarch]

The series are pretty much over, Not alot of people like DB anymore. So I don't think it'll do any harm to the reputation.

[MasterLuna]

...I think I just saw much of my childhood collapse and burst into flames.


Lmao. I could say the same thing. But the only thing that comes to mind right now is....wow. Just...wow. XD I honestly don't know what to say to this.

[Ein Einsamer Soldat]

I never really liked DB too much, but I sympathize with those who do lol
they're doing the same to DB that they did to DOA

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

Who knows, maybe this movie will help to raise the reputation of DBZ?? I mean, to the people that are first introduced to it, will like it and try to find the anime series to it.

[SupaWeena]

Wow.....................Some where in the heavens Goku cringes in disgust...and cusses out hollywood

[DARKMizuSasuke]

WTF??!??!?! This whole movie thing is the most stupid thing they've ever done. One of my fav animes, and the USA... had to... u know the rest. No offence to any Americans here. D**N.

None taken :p, and I bet many Americans' who are fans would agree with you too.

[SupaWeena]

just something else for hollywood to screw up

[ghost_in_the_shell]

There is no way that's gonna be Goku. First off - he is wearing some sort of Apron. He was likely about to cook - and have his arms waxed. That is a bad joke - or bad photo crop for a joke. No way that's official. If it is - I don't know what to say...

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

Yah, that's what Hollywood does, they take a classic the way it is, and butcher it anyway they can. It's quite sad actually.:ninja: :closedeye

[Canti]

dude, that goku is pretty hot!

[SupaWeena]

his name is justin chatwin he was in war of the wolrds and the invisible

[Canti]

i KNEW that was him! i just wasn't positive

[DARKMizuSasuke]

Dude, please let this be a joke... April fool's over. Someone pinch me and wake me up!! I thought that was superman or something.

You know I wish it was joke but it isnt. "Sigh" oh yeah Chun Yun Fat is playing as master roshi WTH? That role doesnt suit him DAMN YOU HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! First you ruin a good anime, now you ruin a great actor.
