Earlier this month a trailer for Dragonball, the
new live-action flick based on the popular Manga comic, emerged on the web and
was roundly panned on assorted blogs and discussion boards (though it should be
noted that ReelzChannel.com user "rabidweasl" thought it was pretty
B.A.). I confessed to utter befuddlement at the clip, a disparate collection of
images featuring attractive young martial artists, a guy who looks like
Pinhead, and Chow Yun Fat.
Today new footage labeled "Goku Makes a
Discovery" popped up on Aceshowbiz.com, and it sadly brings me no closer to
understanding just what the heck this Dragonball flick is supposed to be about.
To be fair, the clip's brevity (barely 16 seconds long) doesn't necessarily
help matters, nor does the fact that it's narrated entirely in Japanese.
Looks
like it might be time to do some research. Check back in the coming weeks for our introductory guide to all things Dragonball.
