I just thought that I would start a thread dedicated to all things DragonBall. First topic, does anyone know anything about the movie series that is supposed to be coming out?

Come on guys, Pokemon is getting more responses than this. That just makes me feel sick to my stomach.

I dont know about the movie series, but i heard they were supposed to be making a real-live dragon ball Z movie. Its been said for a while now, yet nothings been happening. IMO i think it would be cool to see it in real-live acting, if they do it right, it could turn out to be awesome. Its hard to imagine how it'd be though. I would like to see this, interesting.

I remember hearing that robin shou was going to play goku. Meh.

But besides all that, i'm a HUGE db/z/gt freak.grin

Yeah, the real live one was the one I was talking about. Robin Shou would be a good Goku, but when you think about it I mean, would characters like Bu, Piccolo, Friza, etc. be like CG or people in costumes. Another thing is the hair, I guess they could just leave their hair normal, but it wouldn't feel right to see a Super Saiyan with short blonde hair. I did hear that Bill Goldberg is supposed to be playing the part of Nappa, so it is going to be interesting to see what happens. I think there is more info at dragonballz.com.

im a huge DB fan...

regarding the movie series, last i heard George Lucas's crew is gonna be doing the special effects and costumes... the hair imo would be very easy to do, im just worried about who r they gonna get to play the characters (its even rumored that jet li might be Vegeta) they confirmed that it will be 4 movies, the saiyan saga, freiza saga, cell saga, and buu saga, minus the smaller ones like the Garlic Jr. saga... what i feel is gonna be hard to pull off is to get the DBZ feel and humour without making it ridiculous (animation can make anything fun but reality can make it stupid)...

Im am against the DBZ movie. I am a huge fan, and I just do not think they will do the series justice. I really dont want to imagine it. But, there is nothing I can do. I will just hope for the best. I hope they don't ruin Freiza. Hes my fav.

I don't know if Jet Li playing Vegeta would work. Again the hair styles are going to be a major thing in this movie. I mean Vegeta's hair is huge, not to mention his receding hairline. I think the movie might be better off being CG or something. I just hope if it is a live action movie, that they don't screw it up.

That's the only bad thing about DragonBall Z, I haven't got to see all the episodes yet. I actually didn't even like the show until about a year and a half ago. My friend Kevin, got the first Budokai game and I thought the characters and everything looked pretty cool. So I asked my friend Andy if I could borrow his set. (He has every episode ever made) I got pretty far but before I could finish he took them back. Since I watched them, I haven't stopped. Now it's my favorite Anime of all time.

Yea, it gets addictive. I started to watch it a few years ago, before it was put on Cartoon Network.

Never heard of it. But as for me, other than DBZ, I'd have to say that Rorouni Kenshin comes in close second.

I watched DBZ out of order, so what is the order of these sagas, Buu Saga, Cell Saga, Frieza Saga, and Brolli Saga, and who would win a fight between these four?

Frieza Saga, Cell Saga, Bu Saga. I'm not sure about Brolli. But Super Bu would win, hands down. Unless Frieza beat the shit out of him. Hard call.

No Broli saga. That was a short movie. Basically, the 4 main sagas are the Saiyan Saga, Namek/Frieza Saga, Android/Cell Saga, and the Majin Buu Saga. There are smaller ones, but they fall into one of the 4 categories. There is also the Garlic Jr. Saga, and that happens between the Frieza and Cell sagas.

Is Broli the legendary super saiyan. I keep hearing my friend talk about the movie, but I haven't got to see it yet. I got to see some Android movie, and the Return of Cooler. Oh yeah, BTW what is Cooler's origin? Is he like Frieza's brother or something?

I havent seen the Broly movie, but from what I have heard, he achieved the Super Saiyan form before Goku. I dont really remember, but he is refered to as the Legendary Super Saiyan. Cooler is Frieza's brother, and he went after Goku after Frieza's demise.

Oh, so he is Frieza's brother, that's cool. I figured he just looked like him, but then I thought that would be really stupid and un-original if they made a character that looked like Frieza, and wasn't even linked to him. Thanks for clearing that up dude.

Well, Kid Buu, the last incarnation of Majin Buu, would have to be the strongest. As for the movies, I dont know, beacuase there are about 6 or 7 more that haven't been released here yet. And the Garlic Jr. Saga, is like a follow up from the first DBZ movie called Dead Zone. He is a short lil blue guy, who looks a little like a Namek. He is basically bent on ruling the planet. I didnt really enjoy it, becuase there was no Goku. He was still traveling around space.

Who the hell is Garlic Jr.? I've never even heard of him. What significance did he even play?

Villian from the very first DBZ movie. He didnt really have any significance, they just decided to make a little sub story about him. It happens right after the Frieza saga, and a while before Goku returns to Eart. Ugh, I dont even remember the details. I didnt like watching it. Its basically Picollo, Krillin, and Gohan fighting him. There was something about Kami beating Garlic's father as protector of Earth, and Jr. wanted revenge.

Garlic JR is a little blue vampire-like guy who wanted to rule earth. There was an earlier movie on him fighting against goku, piccolo, kami, and little gohan. Anyway, hes immortal, because he wished for immortality. One of his most powerful moves is called the Dead Zone. The dead zone sucks everything in it, and its a dimension of pure blackness.

Also, Garlic JR is very short, but can transform very large. This makes him more beefed up and stronger. The Garlic JR saga took place right after planet namek blew up with goku, so basically, right after the freiza saga. Garlic JR's saga was really short.

As for Brolli, hes as strong as a ultra super saiyin 2. Remember when trunks was fighting Cell, and he became all beefed up with pure white eyes? Thats how brolli is, except with the added speed, which makes him stronger than your ordinary USS2.

The brolli movies are pretty cool. Part 1 is the best. part 2 is good, but not as good as part 1, and part 3 is horrible. Part 3 doesnt have brolli in it, just a clone that looks like a green blob of sludge.

The Major sagas go in this order:

1.) Saiyin Saga
2.) Freiza Saga
3.) Android Saga
4.) Cell saga
5.) Great Saiyaman Saga
6.) Buu Saga

Brolli's saga is just a movie. It doesnt count as being connected with the regular sagas. The movies are basically alternate timelines and alternate sagas.

As for cooler, hes freizas brother, and he kicks ass. I've seen all the movies, and his are pretty bad ass. The meta cooler movie is sweet to. He came to take revenge on goku for killing freiza.

And for the "Who would win" thing, Buu is the strongest out of Brolli, Cell and Freiza.

I've seen all the movies and episodes, as well as GT, and there awesome. Watching it in order is way better.
