Finishing DBE Edit

Made a Vlog about my journey with this thing, not going to post it. Too much talk and crap, who wants to watch that shit...

What is there to say about this. It's a passion project, more or less. I've been waiting for years for a live action dragonball. To get the assfest of a film we got after waiting that long, words can't begin to describe the shock and just general fail you feel after waiting for it for that long. And it's so simple. Just take Shaolin Soccer, ANYTHING Stephen Chow (huge dragonball fan) has ever made, and DO THAT.

Instead they sadly tried to give us a smallville clone.

I will say this. There's no saving the film. Nothing I did made it a worthy dragonball film. It still has nothing at all to do with dragonball really besides the casting and costumes.

What I did do was make the film work better as it already existed.

My cut is the only dragonball live action film you should ever show to your kids. It actually isn't going to completely offend you like the original film.

I've been working on this thing for 2 days straight. Fixing a million different fx and audio shit etc. I've added every deleted scene except for the mai stabbing which is the same scene just with a knife in her back... would have been more fun up her big juicy butt in that scene, but I guess they weren't inspired.

I started out just wanting to put in the sensu bean and the deleted scenes, then as I worked on it more, I figured out a bunch of little ways to improve the movie. All some of it took was getting rid of clunky dialogue and bad dubbing, suddenly the movie works like a normal film and not a weird shitty first draft thing. Imagine that, putting thought into this movie, how it would have been...

I put thought in it. I extended and refined some of the fight stuff. Added light to the fire balls to make them FIRE balls.

I enjoy watching the movie now with my cuts and additions... I wish they'd release all the deleted material cuz they shot tons of shit for the end fight that was cut out. I can't imagine how good the stuff is. That's a goddamn lost mystery, where is that end fight footage they shot for DBE that we see in the behind the scenes vids. Is it still around? Did they destroy it? Do they plan to ever release more deleted scenes in future releases? Why didn't DBE get a director's cut? It's been 7 years, still no unrated super cut of the film. The movie works a shit load better with all the deleted shit put back in. Wouldn't hurt to input what was taken out in a new release of the film on Blu Ray. But everything about DBE has been a loss for Fox. They want to bury the film and forget they made it, sadly...

I guess it would be as stupid as releasing an extended edition of street fighter os mario bros movie. Bombs. No profit earned at all, studio wants to wash their hands of them...

That's a shame. Fox. You had the ball in your court and you dropped the dragon ball, blame no one but yourself. There's a good db movie inside of DBE deep down, hidden beneath all the ass. If you released THAT version, I guarantee you you'd see fans flocking to get it and WOULD profit. But you're scared little pussies, as usual.

MAGIC BEGINS
