Is it possible to make a good live action movie?

I mean, Dragon Ball never had a live action movie before and it's tough to imaginate live action Dragon Ball without looking fucked up.

So what do you think? Is it possible or not?

My answer would be no. You'd need too large a budget to pull off any of the more fantastical elements convincingly and wouldn't be able to tell a concise story unless spacing t evenly as an arc per movie.

I don't think so. It would always come off as incredibly corny to me.

I believe he was referring to prior to DBE, though that would still be incorrect due to there being some Chinese live action movie from the 90s.

It is possible, the first arc of Dragon Ball could make for a fun campy film.

Yes, if they threw in some sex scenes between Yamcha and Bulma.

No. :rumoosh


Unless the actress isn't a minor, then sure, would still be fucking creepy because Bulma's character is 14.

16 and Yamcha's barely older, so not creepy (as well as legal for both in many countries). I'd agree it is pointless though as it'd offer nothing to the character development of either and just be there for basement dwellers to fap to.

I used to think was cool, but now it seems way more goofy. Still good for a fan-made video. It even has GSM in it, but no MSG.

The acting of the androids is pretty decent, especially 18. The SFX are good.
