Here’s the fourth video from Cloud Strife of the fight between Chi Chi and Mai at the tournament. These videos often get taken down as soon as they come, so watch it now!
Cloud has also provided a shot of Randall Duk Kim in Durango.
Cloud Strife has delivered once again! This time a lighting fast video from the Chi Chi/Mai fight! Get it while it’s hot as I’m sure it’ll get taken down soon.
Thanks to reader Spikesgurl, we have a new video of Marsters talking about Piccolo. This guy is so passionate about this role it’s astounding!
Also, I went to Comic Con today and it was pretty awesome. I got the chance to talk to Sean Schemmel for a few minutes. I asked him if he was following the movie and he gave me an interesting reply: “I’m trying not to [follow it] because it annoys me.”

Superherohype! member, craigdbfan found a video from a Mexican TV show in which Dragonball is discussed.
Craig also provided a great translation:
The guy with the mustache talks about how he saw them filming a couple of scenes and saw the costumes and is also willing to say that around 70-80% of the film will be done in post-production (going to be heavy on special effects). He then states because of the fact they haven’t seen the finished product they’re not really sure what to make of the film. He states that there was a fan on the set who had many questions and one of his questions was when exactly does this take place within the Dragonball mythos. The man who is being interviewed then reveals that this takes place during the end of Dragonball and during the beginning of Dragonball Z ( Giving a reason as to why Goku is 18). He also talks about how 20th Century Fox didn’t ( and still doesn’t) want to release the least bit of information regarding the plot. He states that when he wanted to ask a question they would tell him to quiet down and not ask about anything about the film that would reveal to much. This is important he states that they might give a prologue during the beginning of the film showing Goku as a child he then says this is all speculation of course because 20th Century Fox wouldn’t release any information regarding the plot.
Also, ComicMix.com has a bit more information on James Marsters at the Sci-Fi summit.
Finally, the actor spoke briefly about playing the role of Piccolo in the Dragonball live-action film. He expressed his idea for the character being old, ugly and decrepit and having to convince the producers that Piccolo would not look “beautiful” as they had wanted.
He stated that he would rather be fired for not doing what the producers wanted than not do justice to the character.
When asked how faithful the film is to the anime, Marsters said, “We changed a few things, but I think we did it right”. He also expressed that, due to the large amount of VFX shots in the film, a lot of the quality of the movie rides on how much money Fox gives post-production for the special effects.
