Street Fighter vs. Dragonball: Which movie will suck the hardest?

Posted by VicHD - February 12th, 2009


I sometimes don't know that's worse out of the two:
The fact that 20th Century Fox had to "Americanize" Dragonball, or the fact that we have to stomach another lame Street Fighter movie (also distributed by 20th Century Fox).

I'll be honest, I don't have any high expectations for neither of them. As much as I am a fan of both SF and DB, there's something in these movies that doesn't appeal to me.

First, Dragonball Evolution:

1-Goku's a High school Student in the film (Goku never went to high school, he studied martial arts under the aid of master Roshi)
2-Bulma's Hair isn't blue
3-Piccolo looks like a freakin vampire from Buffy(at least he looks a bit greener now, yet missing his antennas).
4-Justin Chatwin looks nothing like Goku, not even with the goofy hair.
5-Master Roshi isn't a pervert in the film. (A bit of a let down cause I love Roshi's comedic antics)
6-the gadgets look like something out of transformers (a simple "Poof" cloud would've been fine for the effect)
7-Goku at one point in the film says "I'm not ready for this." (Goku almost never backs down from a fight)
8-Krillin isn't in the movie (he's an important character to the franchise too).

I could go on and on, but these are the main reasons why the movie has a good chance of sucking (Dragon) balls.

As for street fighter:

1-Kristin Kreuk, as much as I loved her in Smallville, she doesn't convince me much as Chun Li.
2-The poster itself SUCKS!
3-No Ryu & Ken. that spells FAIL in my book.
4-I got mixed feelings about seeing Taboo as Vega. Not sure what to say about that.
5-The movie doesn't feel like something out of Street Fighter
6-Balrog should have been played by a Mike Tyson look alike.
7-The guy who plays M. Bison doesn't convince me. Hell, Raul Julia was a more convincing Bison in the old campy Van-Damme Movie

My overall feeling is that while both films will be panned by critics (and hardcore gamers alike) they might achieve cult status or will be financially successful. They only care about the money anyway.

I personally think that I would have done a better job of bringing Street Fighter or Dragonball to the big screen, and that isn't saying much...

Oh well, Thanks again Hollywood for ruining my childhood.
Leave anime to the Japanese, will ya?


Comments

Well I think both will suck equally hard. But to let you know the guy playing Piccolo was actually on Buffy. SO that is the reason he look like a vampire.

What an ironic coincidence.

I think with dragonball Z we have another Super mario bros movie on our hands...
no, thats being far too kind to it

yur absolutely right the street fighter movie looks terrible and the dbz i havent seen the previews for it are they terrible?

Take a look for yourself.

you'l never know untill you see it but yeah they really suck

I also don't think the stuff you said was appealing to me either,but this is Dragon ball.Not Dragon ball Z.

your right

I agree to the fullest. Chun-Li is my fave character. She doesn't even have her blue dress.

Man I agree...No Ryu or Ken, Why make a Street Fighter movie then?

And the DBZ movie looks mediocre, looks like Spielbergs work.

I wuld give both 2/10

i guess both movies blow ass .... and you youre right the poster looks like shit ohh and another thing america BE MORE FUCKING CREATIVE JESUS ...WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE YOU SUCKA AT YOUR JOB......XD

hey what is the music called at the beging of mortol kombat mishap 3

i think the new street fighter games going to be pretty cool... though i dont really play the game. Dragon ball is kinda lame cause when any of the sayans are in battle there staring at the enemy for like 15 min talking.

Dragon Ball will Suck the Hardest

Dude I just want to say that I completely agree with you on the Dragonball let down. I loved the dragonball francise, well not so much GT. I already expected Dragonball to suck when I first heard about it, being that it's not a good idea to americanize popular anime, but when I finally saw the trailer, I was pissed off the rest of the night. A few other things about the movie other than what you pointed out was that Bulma was wielding guns and jumping around like the Matrix, I mean come on, I'm sure you noticed that in the anime, Bulma was kinda prissy and relied on her intelligence to get through situations. Adding to your comment on Master Roshi, it was like they didn't even try to make Chow Yun Phat look like him. All they did was throw a hawaiian t-shirt on him and call him Master Roshi. He had full hair and everything, no beard and no sunglasses. Also adding to your comment on Bulma, she didn't have blue hair but they decided to be fucking cheap and simply give her a blue streak in her brown hair. I didn't see Tien and Chiaotzu and I doubt Yamcha is in it, not to mention that Grandpa Gohan is alive in it. Adding to your goku comment, they couldn't of gotten a worse acter if they tried, especially since he was dressed practical while Goku in the anime wore martial arts gi's. And I'm not even going to start with Piccolo. I haven't seen the Street Fighter trailer just yet, but from what you've said, I don't know if I should. Well bro, I am sorry to vent like this but it is good to find someone that sees eye to eye on that disillusioning excuse of a movie, maybe it would be a good movie if they just took the Dragonball title off and called it something else. Keep up the good work, I love your Sprite TV series. Later.

Street Fighter would probaly suck more.

Will it suck any more than any other american bastardization ever made?

i say street fighter.

i think street fighers byt dragon ball suck too but still going to see it to be sure

i saw previews of the street fighter movie and it looks stupid.but i still want to see it.and your are right no ryu and ken=FAIL

10 bucks on DBZ cause Street fighet sounds a slink better... I cant imagine american goku but Street fighter is around the world so american look is alright

when i first heard that they were making a dragonball Z movie, i knew it would either be surprisingly good or extremely shit.

now i know (and knowledge is power)
