Thanks you guys!!! We broke the 2 millions viewers in less 3 days it is AMAZING !! having such wonderfull followers is AWESOME !!!! We are so HAPPY and blessed to have such great reviews as well !! THAAAAAAAAAANK YOUUUUUUUUU !!!! :D
What a great job. This is the potential Dragonball has always had. Between this Light of Hope, it shows how badass Dragonball fans can really be. Putting hollywood to shame, you hear me. To shame!
+mercilessv Very true. A 28 min version of the Cell story did indeed put the Hollywood big shots to shame with that horrid Dragon ball: evolution movie that came out a few years back. Visuals, acting, music, 28 mins just nuked a full movie. Hollywood people need to take some serious notes from anime fans as to how these movies should be done properly.
You got nerds on here that don't understand that a direct translation of the anime to film would be awful. The artistic liberty they've taken with the project made for a great short film. I enjoyed every minute of it 10/10.
+grandpri1 This is what Ive been saying. If they had people with naturally green or pink spiky hair it would look kinder silly in this world. This is a 'What they would look like in a real world' interpretation. So it all works... I even like Cells face, looks far more menacing and scary than Perfect Cells anime face. And this Cell is very intimidating, from the way his flying sound to the way he breaths. This Cell is meant to induce fear, and he does.
@@yashveersingh6633 There won't be one as long as Hollywood doesn't get their filthy hands on it. Hell, fund these independent/amature production geniuses' and let them run with it. Big productions love to take what people are fans of and fck it up because they didn't even care to watch it.
@GreatuncleCho_ that's always been the problem with making this a live action.. nobody can pull off the characters.. this was pretty damn close though I gotta say
Coming back to this film years later and it still hits just as hard. The talent of the creators has stood the test of time. What a beautiful way to tell this story.
Everytime I watch this," and it's a lot." It's like the first time. You can clearly see the love and respect they have for this iconic group of characters. I'm 52, and have been a fan of DragonBall from the very beginning. Hats off to you guys! There's major studios that spend millions of dollars for films that can't touch this level of storytelling and world building. And the love comes through in every scene! Bravo!
How the heck is that these people are able to make better movies than a world class director who made dragon ball evolution? Great job. You put those directors to shame. :)
The fact that Fans can do Live Action Anime BETTER than a Multi Million Dollar Studio shows that “Live Action Anime Can’t Be Done” isn’t True. It’s the Heart and Respect to the Source Material that makes all the difference.
The reveal that it was never Trunks narrating to the audience but Vegeta leaving his final words to Trunks was BRILLIANT!!! Every time I come back to this film I find myself loving it more!!!
thank you, we worked hard to keep it secret. The character's name on the call sheet was "John Harrisson", we tried to pull a Star Trek: Into Darkness hahaha
@@BIackSmokeFilmsdo you have any plans on continuing this amazing adaptation? I remember when I saw this the first time, I was totally in a different stage of life
When he started to talked about how he became a better father and a better husband, first thought on my mind was, did he marry Mai? and then the tape said “you got a lot of work to do my son” and “I was holy cow it was vegeta’s voice” that was a great reveal
That moment you realised it was Vegeta talking the whole time to trunks on the tape, and then seeing him give trunks the tape right on his way to fight Cell... alone, his freinds all gone, his best enemy, ally, freind the one that could have stopped this died a normal man of a desease. so Vegeta knows what will happen, hes not going to stop Final Cell, hes going to stall his as much as he can until his very last breath, to give his family a chance to escape and hide. what a badass!!!
Firstly, this show is incrdible Secondly, I don't know what i want to see. I hope to see a show that respect dragon ball as you did for the first part. Maybe go with the boo story ? Anyway, have a great day
I love this, this is how a DBZ movie should be made. The creator of DB evolution should be ashamed that youtubers could do a way better job than he did.
+Deathbringer99699 for what, the truth? Evolution was crap. The kid playing Goku was the worst actor I've ever seen, everything felt fake and forced and monotonous. And this short film did a MUCH better job of DBZ air battles then that Evolution crap did.
+Jacob Jackson I would have to disagree. I've always known cell to be ruthless while at the same time jovial. He loves to fight and kill people just as much as he loves to talk about doing so. He's a monologue kind of guy/creature. And with Freiza's cells being in his body he takes on his traits of just loving to see the look of terror on peoples faces. But, I didn't make this short so whatever.
+Jacob Jackson I think the only reason I would like him to actualy have some form of dialogue is literally for the character arch throughout where cell wants to find a purpose beyond "perfection" that one scene in the anime especialy where he explains he never knew quite were to go forward after he achieved perfection until he absorbed goku and relised "I AM THE UNIVERSE'S END" I thought that line especialy in the anime was amazing, but this is good just for the sake of having a more hateble villain on the big screen, yes
I dont like it very much, Cell is known to be a prideful and show-offy kind of person you guys should have redesigned his face to at least have a mouth to do that.
By far one of the best Dragon Ball fan adaptations ever. Why hasn’t Netflix or Amazon picked this up!!!! When is part 2?! We need part 2! Excellent job!!!
Because of they did, it would be as crap as Resident Evil, Cowboy Bebop, or Rings of Power. I assumed you LIKED this film? Why would you EVER want it handed to Netflix or Amazon?
Most impressive. The attire and the physical settings are right at home. The actors are pretty good but I especially liked Vegeta since he has that deadly look like the anime.
Duck Master Games he is the guy that gave baby trunks the recording... I get why you did not recognize him, the hair is different, but this is real life haha and a haircut like vegeta's is not easy to come by
Imagine if this one went on the news station Cell: Mh Mhm mh Hmmh. humh urr i in uh Hmmh Gmuh (My name is Cell. Fight or die in the Cell Games) Everyone: What Cell:...Ugh. Mm hum huh-huh um Ņ̴̡̢̡̨̟̠̞̫͖͕̺̠̻̭͖͍͉̜͔̘̲̙̗̼̘̣̻̕i̴̜̪͚͍̹͇̝̝̪͉̝̖̎̎͐̊c̵̡͙̝͎͈͓͓̟̝͕̜̭̣̜͙̑̂̅̊̃̇͛͌͂̆́̌͐͂̌͌̈̀̏̍͐̈̔̚̕͝k̸̡̨̛͎̲͎͖̞̤̼̼̮̠̺̠̭̠̜͈̳͈̙͔͇̮͉̿́̂̌̌͆͛͐̉̇͆̆̽̿͘͠͝y̴̧̹̖̻͗̈̃̄́̃̐̿͋̎͆̈́̃̈́̍͝ ̷̡̡̢̝͚̻͈͎̦̼̪͉̮͈̭̺̲̝̞͛̃̆̍̓̄͛̅̃̐̈́̄̂̈̀̀͜ͅŢ̴̡͇̜͙̙̰̹̳͈̰̰̼͖̱͉̣̦̋̎̊̓̑͑̿̈́̐́̾̀̋̏͑̑͗̄̇̀̚̕͝͠ớ̵̧̡̨͕̘̦̘̪̥̬̭̩̲̫̱͓̜̥̠̣̯͓̤̣̳̫͔͂͋͌͌̔̒̀͑̔̔́͗͐͒̓͌͋̕̚͝ẇ̴̢͍̞̱̟̲͙̙̠̑͑́̍̂͌́̕͠͝n̸̠̦̮̲̺͉̮͚̺͖͓͔͍̱͙̉͒̅̾́̿̈̋̆͝ (I'm the monster from Nicky Town.) Cameraman: ... His name is Ricky Brown? Cameraman 2: I heard Dicky Down. Cameraman 3: He does look kinda rapey. Cell:Kuh-Mhh-Hmm-Mhh-HUH!
The fact that most of the dialogue in this movie is a tape recording of Vegeta to Trunks, and you don't realize it til after the big fight, is kinda epic.
@@Billious absolutely! It was a superb performance. Skillfully carried out. I'm truly, truly impressed by the artistry and writing in this video. I hope they have more to come in the near future!
Seriously, I don't understand the negative comments about this beautiful fanmovie. Who cares if the story is set in (another) parallel universe? Who cares if Trunks doesn't have purple hair, Bulma doesn't have big tits and Cell is not "the same" as the manga/anime? Did you watch this movie? It's perfect. Especially the final resolution and the "plot twist" about the real Narrator and his feelings. Wonderful job, guys! This is the greatest movie about Dragon Ball I've ever watched!
+One Piece Report AGREEE - throughout the movie I knew what was going on based on what happend in the cartoon version, but that was choice, they made it realistic and the last bit where they introduce Goku eating all the time and food flying everywhere, classic DBZ awesome movie, wish they make more and a feature length movie..
+One Piece Report Not all, original Cell was more terrifying and intimidating, because he could TALK either in his first, bug-form and his perfect, humanized form! I don't understand why with all their accurate work they couldn't keep Cell's mouth!? I could appreciate if his all three forms were eclectically fused together, but even that he should have kept his mouth! As it is Cell's body is really nicely done, but his face is almost funny (I'd seriouly laugh if I wouldn't be so mad about it first).
+metal87power I can't say I agree. I think this Cell was far more menacing than the anime version. Perfect Cell never really scared me, he always made me laugh. This Cell just destroyed because he could which is far more dangerous than a villian with a big mouth and ego, considering because of his ego he was killed.
+One Piece Report I agree, there's nothing un-cannon about multiverses. Cartoons allow for certain aesthetic liberties that movies can't take and visa versa. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the way the narrator spoke during certain parts.
Completely agree with above mentioned, best live action DBZ movie ever made, and never enjoyed one until this one. Great job BlackSmokeFilms for making this movie, now perhaps eyes will be opened and a real big budget live action movie could be made in the near future. I keep having hope some day there will be a DBZ live action movie franchise which would be a massive success if done right!
The people who made this movie deserved an oscar, very very good ... It's darker, the music is good, the acting is excellent, the effects are more than good, the best Dragonball movie ever made ...
Cada año que pasa y lo vuelvo a ver me impresiona más. La manera en que traducen la transformación a SSJ.... Increíble. Pero nunca dejará de sacarme una lágrima el final. Es la cosa más INTELIGENTE que he visto al respecto. Todos sabemos que Gokú es sagrado. Todos lo amamos; así de simple. Y sabemos que un live action de él es extremadamente complicado. Empezando por el cabello. Así que ellos dijeron, ¿cómo abordamos su persona? Y se fueron por el aspecto más reconocible y tierno de él: LA COMIDA. Sin necesidad de más nada. Nuestro querido Gokú comiendo como tanto lo hemos visto hacerlo, sin tener que revelar su rostro. Increíble. Muchas gracias por esto, de verdad, muchas gracias.
I love this so much, you made Cell actually terrifying while also catching some of the key aspects of his character and design, and you could feel Trunk's pain and struggle throughout the whole film as well as the battle with Cell, bravo guys, you achieved something Hollywood couldn't which is impressive beyond measure, I hope to see a sequel of this amazing film one day
ssj Kyto what are you talking about this is not dbz at all they got so many details wrong trunks never went ssj when Bulma crashed because in the manga and anime she never crashed. And trunks travels to the past to tell people about cell which is why his name is (future trunks). Also I don't know why the showed us how out of shape he was in the time chamber with that untucked tank top they still got shit wrong like how vegeta was in the time chamber with trunks and not by himself. Then Goku and Gohan went in after or the other way around but they still got those detail wrong
DVL you realise this isnt based on the manga/show its inspired by it. they took the characters and the situation put a twist on our own expectations by saying that cell took over the future timeline. people do this all the time with DBZ and call it their own storyline (like if trunks went to far back to when vegeta first arrives on earth)
@Keep Striving it’s Japanese anime yea.. but the world of DBZ takes place in a different world where the races are much more scattered and mixed, hell there are even real life furries that somehow still count as human.. also, aliens.
i can't stop watching this....and that ending bro....tears, finally happen...finally some one figured out how to make a god fit and adaptation for dragon ball z
+Claudius Atlas i already did, and i didn't love it...it's good but this one is much better because they took the key to every character and they fit in a "kind of realistic" world...and the grounded and make it a deep concept, a great story...it's fucking beautiful
Francisco Asef Super Saiyan looked garbage too. Light of Hope nailed Super Saiyan. Considering the fights were entirely CGI, they should have atleast got that right.
+Claudius Atlas But Light of Hope didn't do anything different. I don't want to see a scene for scene re-hash of the anime because what's the point? Sure the effects in this weren't great, but since when did the effects in a film matter more than the story? You worry to much about effects over story and you get the Star Wars prequels.
vica vox Light of Hope is not a scene-for-scene rehash... it's based off the History of Trunks, but is shot and choreographed completely differently. Personally, I think Light of Hope was better because it had entirely practical effects, the actors looked the part, and it followed the source material (with it's own creative aspects). I'm all for creative interpretations and I think this was great, but the whole dark, gritty take and CG effects just didn't cut it for me. Stray too far from the source material and you end up with DB Evolution.
Whoever thumbed down this, is not a Dragonball Z fan and should've even have come here. What was not to like? Considering the debacle we got from Hollywood, this was a masterpiece.
This is simply the best movie about Dragon Ball ever made, even better than the web series' pilot which was made months ago. I appreciated particularly the voice over and the total absence of dialogues, really dark and intense. And I don't care about Trunks' and Bulma's regular hair, it's perfect just like this. Good job!
@@thomasverslycken2563 the acting, tension, and effects were a lot better in this than Light of Hope. Trunks was easily the worst part, and I know I know he’s a kid actor, but it doesn’t give him/the production a free pass
I can only imagine what these guys would do with the budget marvel movies got. It is insane how good this actually is!!! Massive regards to you guys for accomplishing this.
A big budget is not enough to make a good DBZ adaptation, it takes someone who knows the franchise deeply and truly 'gets it'. Major thumbs up. This is, by a long shot, the best we have so far.
Exactly no one could actually make a real DBZ movie unless they were a real true fan and actually stayed up all night watching re runs of a show that they've seen a million times before because they love it that much.. This is pretty good.
I disliked it because the Voiceover Narration that was supposed to carry the whole story through was very annoying. I would've liked it if they weren't lazy and actually written good dialogue instead instead Christopher Nolaning the whole thing and try to make every single sentence into a deep and metaphorical meaning
Este cortometraje es una joya incluso varios años después me sorprende pensar que un grupo de fans con un presupuesto limitado hayan hecho lo que una compañía millonaria no
I can't believe the people hating on this movie! I've been a DBZ fan since i was little and I am a filmmaker, and I would have been proud to have made this on both fronts. Awesome job guys!
I agree. This isn't a film that focuses on the action and spectacle, it's an insight and an analysis Trunks, a character study, to be exact. It's weak in some areas, but it does well in all the others.
+It's Over 9000 Productions How could you as a DB Fan enjoy this at all? Everything about this video was wrong... You are really gonna tell yourself you had 0 problems with this video?
Marcos Mauriello I'm not impressed unless these fools start filming Alexander The Great as an Asian Man or Black Man than im down with it, until than keep depicting white as main character like everything else smh. You White white folk even got the nerves to depicted Mongolian as White Euoprean !! Like Wow clear eye is red eye wow.......
Simone King Okay man, first off Saiyans are not Asian! They are aliens. Dr. Briefs is an English name. His wife is a blonde white girl. Meaning Bulma isn't Asian. Bulma and Vegeta are not Asians, so trunks is not Asian. Plus Asians would look dumb as saiyan...
Matahari Im talking about the high level audiovisual skills that this people are using just for a youtube video and not if this video is a good tribute for dragonball.Please focus guys.
Years later. And this movie still hits hard. Thank you for having made this. The passion for dragon ball could never be felt as strongly in anything else I've ever seen but this.
La mejor "pelicula" de Dragon Ball z que han hecho, la versión de hollywood me había decepcionado. Felicitaciones, estoy segura que la gran mayoria de fanaticos disfrutará una segunda parte :3
I like how people are bitching and moaning about any little thing they see here.There is absolutely nothing wrong with this adaption. Can any of you do better? I doubt it. This is hands down the best representation of Dragon Ball Z in the real world that will probably ever exist, that is until these fine people who made this film get hired by Legendary to do the full-fledged movie. They even made Cell more terrifying than in the Manga and Anime, and THAT is worth an Oscar. His breathing and grunts.....chilling. "Hhhhhh.......hhhhhhh......" Well done to the creators! You've just earned a new fan and subscriber! :]
+sukiakuh Don't be ridiculous. Everyone has a right to voice their opinion. For me, it was okay, not great, not perfect, but okay. I guess it just proves that a live action version of DBZ is not doable. I find it helps just thinking of this universe as a different universe from the original.
You can have an opinion, but if that is not good you may reserve that for yourself. Positivism with a little cinism helps improving relationships. In some places it is called education. In Japan for instance negative criticism is not very well seen.
The soundtrack and cinematography to this is amazing. That final cgi fight scene was the best depiction of dbz I've seen outside of the og anime. This fan film got so many things right, that i would feel bad to point out it's flaws. Great job and thank you to everyone who worked on it.
i get the guy who has the job of special effects has a damn hard job ahead of him, but seriously, we need a millionaire to fund this movie. it would be absolutely amazing to see the movie in HD just as articulate as the anime versions. i would pay good money to see that movie.
Not only does this prove that live action anime can work, it also proves that fights in the air don't have to look like people hanging on strings. Well done is an understatement here.
LMP most definitely a good dbz moive is long over due and the so called moive they did make was completely trash I would love to see a dbz moive like this more real and realistic
I really wish you guys, K&KProductions, and RobotUnderdog2 could just come together and give us an ultimate fan series. It's obvious that all you guys genuinely know what you're doing and there's room for all of us to create something perfect.
You're right, they should learn to never make dbz live action, this was as bad as DB Evolution, i actually expected it to be decent but it tries too hard to be sad and emotional. IMO at least.
C'EST ORGASMIQUE ! Ce film n'est pas juste une adaptation, c'est un tout autre point de vue sur le chef-d'oeuvre qu'est Dragon Ball et content de voir qu'une dream team s'est mobilisée pour faire un si bon film avec beaucoup de poésie et des plans qui en disent beaucoup. Mention spéciale aux effets spéciaux et aux décors et images de synthèse, le monteur sait ce qu'il fait ! Merci pour ce chef-d'oeuvre destiné aux fans de Dragon Ball ! Vous gérez les gens !
Sincèrement pas mal, après je pourrais chipoter sur certains détails mais ça n'a pas vraiment d'importance car les décors sont sympa et bien fait tout comme la FX. J'ai une question, l'équipe à l'origine de ce projet est FR ?
This is simply a masterpiece! How the hell I just got to know it now? We need to find a way to make these guys to get the money and rights to do a whole trilogy (lord of the rings length). Why this is not happening yet?
So I've watched this about 3 times before. Can we all agree that this 30 minute short film was 100x better than that sorry excuse for a movie that was put out years ago.
JONATHAN JIMENEZ I was wondering what someone that wasn't biased and a fan think it of it. It greatly portrays dbz. very minor details left out or changed. like trunks glowing hair and eyes or his original purple almost shoulder length hair. bulma and her father the scientists aka trunks aka main character looked awesome. the fight scenes were great. cell the villain looks amazing even though he's very computer animated. this is one of the best live action fan made short films made depicting Dragon Ball Z. Awesome effort!! A- or A. Just wowed. wish they had 60mil to a big Hollywood movie. a tv series I would love better though. more longer action with greater time to spend on stories and character development. To me this in a tv series would be akin to daredevil after three movies and then the tv. movies sucked tv show epic. DBZ evolution the movie was awful. This would greatly please Dragon ball fans. I would love love love to see this. I would pay a few hundred dollars to be quite honest.
19:00 one of the most impressive things I have witnessed in CGI considering the budget. These dudes with a marvel budget would just basically create the best superhero type movie ever.
Cuando un trabajo es EXCELENTE no hay que avergonzarse en decirlo. Acá tenemos una joya entre los materiales audiovisuales hecho por fanáticos del universo de Dragon Ball. Absolutamente nada que reprochar en el casting y las actuaciones. Los efectos especiales sinceramente me dieron envidia! me encantaría poder hacer algo así yo! Detalles que te dan esa nostalgia de estar viendo la serie, sabiendo que es algo completamente nuevo. Gente, mis mas sinceras felicitaciones! Lo único que me hace ruido es "la pieza faltante de la maquina del tiempo", me gustaría saber que le pasó a Bulma para que muera, y hay algo de Vegeta, que no se que es pero no me cierra. Aun así, esto sin dudas es por goleada, lo mejor que vi "en humanos" de la serie Dragon Ball!!! Ojala tengan la oportunidad de crear una segunda parte! Saludos y felicitaciones desde Argentina. :) (y)
trebreh sb si pero no me cierra... la tuvo que haber chupado, o la tuvo que haber hecho polvo... o se tuvo que haber muerto de una, ella es una idola total pero es muy debil! como quedo viva!... no me cierra! Igual es excelente este corto!
+Sicca Paez Es un gran trabajo sin dudas, y hacen su propia historia a raiz de la original lo que muchas veces sale mal pero esta vez acertaron. Es dificil hacer los CGI y toma tiempo hacerlos a la perfeccion pero para no ser una tremenda produccion el trabajo estuvo genial a pesar que aveces se notaban que no eran humanos. A mi la verdad el actor que hizo de Vegeta me parecio el indicado. Dije: Raaaaayos este es Vegeta!! Goku no me cuadra mucho pero como bien dijeron en otro comentario parecia que iba a ser Christian Bale jaja todos estamos acostumbrados al mitico Goku con su cabello clasico pero es dificil hacer una representacion en la vida real con actores asi que bueno...pero coincido contigo el trabajo en general estuvo genial y hay que felicitarlos
Brian Monttes de una hermano, lejos de querer hacer una critica destructiva estoy, simplemente puse lo que me hizo ruidito, pero realmente disfrute cada segundo de esto! Es muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy muy muy bueno!
Este film demuestra que con un argumento lo suficientemente sólido, inspirador y acompañado de una buena actuación, TODO lo demás es secundario. Este corto no es perfecto, tienes sus fallas en varias cosas; pero se deja sentir el hecho de que el guión lo hizo un verdadero fanático; está muy bien escrito y lleno de fuerza y vida. Este es uno de los mejores (aunque no perfectos) cortos sci-fi que he visto y me alegra decir que es de Dragon Ball. Y espero que estén pensando en hacerle una segunda parte, la saga de Cell es la que más se presta para hacer cosas oscuras y desgarradoras como este corto.
Trunks’ sobbing and complete emotional death. Then he let’s go and the rage his father could never feel is unleashed. This short film is a masterclass on how this S Tier series needs to be told.
say what you want, but evolution is what got me into dbz. it was terrible, using the cast of shameless, but I fell in love with dbz after wanting more.
+Intense Wet Dreams oh wow really??? So after watching the anime, you still think it's good??? I get what your saying. You never seen dbz before, so I get why you like it. So after watching the anime, do you still like Evolution ?
that would be great I wish it was gohan that was fighting instead of trunks tho the CGI of cell is good but if they were gonna make a whole movie about it we're gonna have to hear him talk
2020, still listening to Vegeta's final speech, still having the chills like the first time. Vegeta's true love about his son, his acceptance of Goku as a warrior, rival and friend, everything is there in that final speech. Respect.
This sh*t is probably the closest we will ever get to a real, good, Dragon Ball live action movie. There’s Dragon Ball Evolution but, you know, I said “good”.
Mother of god not only is this light years better than the Hollywood produced live action movie it's amazingly far ahead of the new Dragon Ball Z movies and continuation being made by Akira Toriyama himself. Bravo, this gave me chills. Astonishingly well done!
+naijaboygangsta They are absolute garbage along with the series continuation. Breaking their own canon left and right, power creep of hilarious proportions, gods and every character but goku being useless. DBZ was never a pillar of writing genius but the new stuff is worse than GT. That is no exaggeration.
BronzeDragonWOHS no. But thats your opinion though . Goku is far from useless. Also you hate it because of power creep and that gods are stronger than Goku? Those are strange reason to hate on the new series. Not sure what you mean with breaking canon. The parapara brothers prove alone, that gt is far worse. Or that Goku is impressed with the strongest villain in the series destroying a city with one blast :/ shitty dialogue overall
+naijaboygangsta Your reading comprehension is lacking. I said every character but Goku was useless. It's crap made to milk money out of a dead franchise. It is worse than GT and that is saying something. The writing is just horrid.
Future Trunk's story always gives me chills. Especially when he cries over Gohan's death. Now that I think about it, I saw this a couple of years ago and after watching it I wanted a sequel. (I wouldn't mind one now since this is one of my favorite stories to come from the Cell Saga.)
@Alex Luca an unofficial king, since there was no more planet Vegeta and King Vegeta had no official successor. So yeah, technically Vegeta still remains the prince of the saiyans.
I come back here and the fact that we don't see Goku's face is just the best! I love how the actor captures the body language so well and everything is just great! This entire film is great but that one decision is what makes me gush about this to my friends.
Don't listen to the hate. This video was really well made. It must have took A LOT of time to make this film. It doesn't take an idiot to know that you guys put a lot of effort into this. What amazes me are the effects. It looks fucking awesome. Great job! :)
I like the more realistic take on the characters, and how dark it is. DBZ could be an awesome live action film, but there's no way you could pull it off if you tried to make it look just like the anime. Just have to keep those details in that make the characters unique. Like how Goku was eating at the end.
Lyndsey Gatza man of steel , Was the only movie showing special effects worth to be used for a db movie. but i doubt someone Will ever make a High budget movie for DB.

What a great job. This is the potential Dragonball has always had. Between this Light of Hope, it shows how badass Dragonball fans can really be.
Putting hollywood to shame, you hear me. To shame!
it's good indeed probably some better acting and casting in my opinion haha
the way you zaid it was sexy you hear me sexy!
+mercilessv Very true. A 28 min version of the Cell story did indeed put the Hollywood big shots to shame with that horrid Dragon ball: evolution movie that came out a few years back. Visuals, acting, music, 28 mins just nuked a full movie. Hollywood people need to take some serious notes from anime fans as to how these movies should be done properly.
+josuep64 Why say that? What is the relevance? Why be vulgar and rude for no reason?
+mercilessv YOU GOT THAT RITE!!!
You got nerds on here that don't understand that a direct translation of the anime to film would be awful. The artistic liberty they've taken with the project made for a great short film. I enjoyed every minute of it 10/10.
+grandpri1 This is what Ive been saying. If they had people with naturally green or pink spiky hair it would look kinder silly in this world. This is a 'What they would look like in a real world' interpretation. So it all works... I even like Cells face, looks far more menacing and scary than Perfect Cells anime face. And this Cell is very intimidating, from the way his flying sound to the way he breaths. This Cell is meant to induce fear, and he does.
+grandpri1 on behalf of movie fans and dragon ball fans with more than 2 brain cells THANK YOU
+grandpri1 This is still not a "great" movie. Narration is a pretty lazy way to do storytelling.
+Ateka9 what u r saying is a valid criticism tho unlike many other "fans" I dnt agree with u but still it's a valid point unlike the others
+Anton Nzl some of them just don't get it...
"He was the best of us, the greatest warrior I've ever known. He was my friend and I owe him so much."
7 year old fan movie... an we still can't get a legitimate billion dollar studio movie worth a damn.. Pathetic! This is a masterpiece still...
Search dragon ball live action and everywhere u will see people commenting " we don't need another dragon ball evolution"
@@yashveersingh6633 There won't be one as long as Hollywood doesn't get their filthy hands on it. Hell, fund these independent/amature production geniuses' and let them run with it. Big productions love to take what people are fans of and fck it up because they didn't even care to watch it.
Who would be a good lead director? Someone who could bring it to life
@GreatuncleCho_ that's always been the problem with making this a live action.. nobody can pull off the characters.. this was pretty damn close though I gotta say
That actor who played Vegeta... is almost like it was meant to be played by him. That's some brilliant casting seriously. It felt... so real.
I knew it was him before I saw him holding his armor
Trunks isn't good
where the hell is vegeta in this?
Dude he was born for that role
@@ariesakins9808 there was no vegeta in this.
Coming back to this film years later and it still hits just as hard. The talent of the creators has stood the test of time. What a beautiful way to tell this story.
Everytime I watch this," and it's a lot." It's like the first time. You can clearly see the love and respect they have for this iconic group of characters. I'm 52, and have been a fan of DragonBall from the very beginning. Hats off to you guys! There's major studios that spend millions of dollars for films that can't touch this level of storytelling and world building. And the love comes through in every scene! Bravo!
How many times have you watched it. 😊 For me it's about twice a month or 3. But it gets better with some drinks each time😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
How the heck is that these people are able to make better movies than a world class director who made dragon ball evolution? Great job. You put those directors to shame. :)
Dante because big studios get in the way and think they know better. that's just my opinion though
Dante "World Class" a YEEEE
Dante because they decided to not take the manga to heart and make a completely diffrent movie
gamer buddy why
the one eyed king because dragon Ball evolution took the manga at heart? LOL
"He was the best of us", said by Vegeta, is the most powerful line ever to describe Goku.
'Was'
No still is
Timestamp?
@@xaaronbeleskyx Don't start that shit.
Superman parallels
The fact that Fans can do Live Action Anime BETTER than a Multi Million Dollar Studio shows that “Live Action Anime Can’t Be Done” isn’t True. It’s the Heart and Respect to the Source Material that makes all the difference.
took you 5 years to find this? LOL
Nice
just came from your vid, How tf has this gone under the radar for over 5 years?!
W
Owwweewowwwee
I did not know about this until you're vid
The reveal that it was never Trunks narrating to the audience but Vegeta leaving his final words to Trunks was BRILLIANT!!!
Every time I come back to this film I find myself loving it more!!!
Dang I ain’t even peep that at all…I swore that was trunks the whole time and now that makes this even tougher!!!!!!
thank you, we worked hard to keep it secret. The character's name on the call sheet was "John Harrisson", we tried to pull a Star Trek: Into Darkness hahaha
@@BIackSmokeFilmsdo you have any plans on continuing this amazing adaptation? I remember when I saw this the first time, I was totally in a different stage of life
When he started to talked about how he became a better father and a better husband, first thought on my mind was, did he marry Mai? and then the tape said “you got a lot of work to do my son” and “I was holy cow it was vegeta’s voice” that was a great reveal
Wait WHAT!
The actor for Bulmas dad looks spot on
I said the saaammmeee thing. As soon as I saw him, I was like "omg, that's amazing casting!"
That moment you realised it was Vegeta talking the whole time to trunks on the tape, and then seeing him give trunks the tape right on his way to fight Cell... alone, his freinds all gone, his best enemy, ally, freind the one that could have stopped this died a normal man of a desease. so Vegeta knows what will happen, hes not going to stop Final Cell, hes going to stall his as much as he can until his very last breath, to give his family a chance to escape and hide. what a badass!!!
Jesus you can't spell for shit dude
@@pearcegolding3544 He may not spell perfectly in the height of his excitement for the story but your just a douche
@@pearcegolding3544 this is the internet, not school, deal with it boy
My favorite moment
It wasn't final cell, it was just normal cell. Final cell is 100% perfect form.
Anyway this was a great watch.
Imagine if these Guys had Good Budget. This is a masterpiece. Great job
P
We could always help raise the money for this
6000 or 8000€...
they said it in a interview
It could use a change with the super Saiyan eyes.
They did better with 6000 than 20th Century Fox did with $30 million.
Okay let's get real, what to YOU want to see in the sequel? Leave your comments below.
Goku fightning scene
There will be a SEQUEL!??? OMG I had enter here by mere chance! I saw the movie years befooore!
Talking xD
Firstly, this show is incrdible
Secondly, I don't know what i want to see. I hope to see a show that respect dragon ball as you did for the first part.
Maybe go with the boo story ?
Anyway, have a great day
Yes…
Love the Snyder and Nolan kind of influences in this. 5 years later and it still slaps
Only music slaps this is cool dope etc
I love this, this is how a DBZ movie should be made. The creator of DB evolution should be ashamed that youtubers could do a way better job than he did.
+KinghtofZero00
More than ONE youtuber, by the way.
This is like the THIRD independent video that has FAILOLUSION beaten like Yamcha.
so true
+Deathbringer99699 for what, the truth? Evolution was crap. The kid playing Goku was the worst actor I've ever seen, everything felt fake and forced and monotonous. And this short film did a MUCH better job of DBZ air battles then that Evolution crap did.
Azhrei2000
yeah .. you are right.. but THIS IS NOT BETTER
this is mediocre wannabe bullshit
+Deathbringer99699
this feels more respectful to the source material than Evolution.
I LOVE this interpretation of cell. the way he doesn't speak and growls makes him more like an animal or some kind of force of evil it's so GOOD!!!!!
+Jacob Jackson I would have to disagree. I've always known cell to be ruthless while at the same time jovial. He loves to fight and kill people just as much as he loves to talk about doing so. He's a monologue kind of guy/creature. And with Freiza's cells being in his body he takes on his traits of just loving to see the look of terror on peoples faces. But, I didn't make this short so whatever.
+Jacob Jackson The fuck have you been watching? Pokemon? Get the fuck outta here
+Jacob Jackson I think the only reason I would like him to actualy have some form of dialogue is literally for the character arch throughout where cell wants to find a purpose beyond "perfection" that one scene in the anime especialy where he explains he never knew quite were to go forward after he achieved perfection until he absorbed goku and relised "I AM THE UNIVERSE'S END" I thought that line especialy in the anime was amazing, but this is good just for the sake of having a more hateble villain on the big screen, yes
+Jacob Jackson Maine from Red vs Blue did a good job too.
I dont like it very much, Cell is known to be a prideful and show-offy kind of person you guys should have redesigned his face to at least have a mouth to do that.
The simplicity and minimalism of this movie is just perfect. Akira Toriyama would be proud of you guys.
By far one of the best Dragon Ball fan adaptations ever. Why hasn’t Netflix or Amazon picked this up!!!! When is part 2?! We need part 2! Excellent job!!!
Disney have a live action movie rights
@@nidhishchauhan2053 😭 multilanguages answer to your comment that understand everyone
They could definitely develop Dragon Ball Franchise into an MCU level Franchise
Because they are too busy destroying art, like if they were using equilibrium, did you see Netflix's Cowboy Bebop?, That proves my point...
Because of they did, it would be as crap as Resident Evil, Cowboy Bebop, or Rings of Power. I assumed you LIKED this film? Why would you EVER want it handed to Netflix or Amazon?
Most impressive. The attire and the physical settings are right at home. The actors are pretty good but I especially liked Vegeta since he has that deadly look like the anime.
BTW BlackSmokeFilms, who was the person Trunks gave the Senzu bean to?
Luna, Upa's wife, she is a new character we created!
BlackSmokeFilms Nice. No wonder I couldn't recognize them.
Duck Master Games he is the guy that gave baby trunks the recording... I get why you did not recognize him, the hair is different, but this is real life haha and a haircut like vegeta's is not easy to come by
***** He's the mean looking guy who gives the baby(obviously Trunks) the tape he plays. Sure he isn't short but he does have that angry killer look.
Dude, this Cell is terrifying... No Cell Games, just straight genocide.
Afterall... P is for Priceless...
this is from trunks future. when he goes to goku its suppose to be sometime after freeza and before the androids and cell.
Videon Tekuro what about town that third eye was terrifying
I dont know. I feel like not having a month is kind of a deadpool lesson not learned. Cell was a talker. Pompous with a huge ego.
Imagine if this one went on the news station
Cell: Mh Mhm mh Hmmh. humh urr i in uh Hmmh Gmuh (My name is Cell. Fight or die in the Cell Games)

What if!! We do a online fund raise and let this guys make a DBZ movie??? We the fans deserve a live action DBZ Movie.
Yep do that and then as soon as they try and release it it gets removed/deleted and they get in big trouble for copyright reasons
This is assuming they can get the Copyrights.
Would toriyama have to sign rights over?
As long as he gets Asian actors I’m down
@@iconiccgg7636 imagine.. the rock is tien and justin bieber is chaozu
The fact that most of the dialogue in this movie is a tape recording of Vegeta to Trunks, and you don't realize it til after the big fight, is kinda epic.
I knowwww!
That shit really, really gave me the chills when I made that discovery.
This was indeed epic.
@@seedfamily1404
They truly understand the saying, "show, don't tell."
@@Billious absolutely!
It was a superb performance.
Skillfully carried out.
I'm truly, truly impressed by the artistry and writing in this video.
I hope they have more to come in the near future!
Yeah i had to close my eyes and just listen. Still so beautiful.
Yeah that doesn’t seem like vegeta. “He was my friend” lol nah
Seriously, I don't understand the negative comments about this beautiful fanmovie. Who cares if the story is set in (another) parallel universe? Who cares if Trunks doesn't have purple hair, Bulma doesn't have big tits and Cell is not "the same" as the manga/anime?
Did you watch this movie? It's perfect. Especially the final resolution and the "plot twist" about the real Narrator and his feelings.
Wonderful job, guys! This is the greatest movie about Dragon Ball I've ever watched!
+One Piece Report Muy cierto, ojala los financiaran y pudrieran realizar algo mas largo. Esto me hizo erizar :')
+One Piece Report AGREEE - throughout the movie I knew what was going on based on what happend in the cartoon version, but that was choice, they made it realistic and the last bit where they introduce Goku eating all the time and food flying everywhere, classic DBZ awesome movie, wish they make more and a feature length movie..
+One Piece Report Not all, original Cell was more terrifying and intimidating, because he could TALK either in his first, bug-form and his perfect, humanized form!
I don't understand why with all their accurate work they couldn't keep Cell's mouth!? I could appreciate if his all three forms were eclectically fused together, but even that he should have kept his mouth!
As it is Cell's body is really nicely done, but his face is almost funny (I'd seriouly laugh if I wouldn't be so mad about it first).
+metal87power I can't say I agree. I think this Cell was far more menacing than the anime version. Perfect Cell never really scared me, he always made me laugh. This Cell just destroyed because he could which is far more dangerous than a villian with a big mouth and ego, considering because of his ego he was killed.
+One Piece Report I agree, there's nothing un-cannon about multiverses. Cartoons allow for certain aesthetic liberties that movies can't take and visa versa. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the way the narrator spoke during certain parts.
This is the only live action DBZ video I've ever actually enjoyed. I like how it takes ideas from the source material but doesn't try to be the same.
maffy715 Light of Hope might also be up your alley
Seen it, but I still prefer this one just because of its originality.
Completely agree with above mentioned, best live action DBZ movie ever made, and never enjoyed one until this one. Great job BlackSmokeFilms for making this movie, now perhaps eyes will be opened and a real big budget live action movie could be made in the near future. I keep having hope some day there will be a DBZ live action movie franchise which would be a massive success if done right!
The people who made this movie deserved an oscar, very very good ...
It's darker, the music is good, the acting is excellent, the effects are more than good, the best Dragonball movie ever made ...
Thanks! Our oscars was comments like yours!
Damn I can't get over how perfect the casting is for Vegeta.

7 YEARS AFTER... still makes me cry...
Yep
Cada año que pasa y lo vuelvo a ver me impresiona más. La manera en que traducen la transformación a SSJ.... Increíble. Pero nunca dejará de sacarme una lágrima el final. Es la cosa más INTELIGENTE que he visto al respecto. Todos sabemos que Gokú es sagrado. Todos lo amamos; así de simple. Y sabemos que un live action de él es extremadamente complicado. Empezando por el cabello. Así que ellos dijeron, ¿cómo abordamos su persona? Y se fueron por el aspecto más reconocible y tierno de él: LA COMIDA. Sin necesidad de más nada. Nuestro querido Gokú comiendo como tanto lo hemos visto hacerlo, sin tener que revelar su rostro. Increíble. Muchas gracias por esto, de verdad, muchas gracias.
I love this so much, you made Cell actually terrifying while also catching some of the key aspects of his character and design, and you could feel Trunk's pain and struggle throughout the whole film as well as the battle with Cell, bravo guys, you achieved something Hollywood couldn't which is impressive beyond measure, I hope to see a sequel of this amazing film one day
ssj Kyto what are you talking about this is not dbz at all they got so many details wrong trunks never went ssj when Bulma crashed because in the manga and anime she never crashed. And trunks travels to the past to tell people about cell which is why his name is (future trunks). Also I don't know why the showed us how out of shape he was in the time chamber with that untucked tank top they still got shit wrong like how vegeta was in the time chamber with trunks and not by himself. Then Goku and Gohan went in after or the other way around but they still got those detail wrong
DVL you realise this isnt based on the manga/show its inspired by it. they took the characters and the situation put a twist on our own expectations by saying that cell took over the future timeline. people do this all the time with DBZ and call it their own storyline (like if trunks went to far back to when vegeta first arrives on earth)
Bruh Dr. Briefs is he best part of this film, he is so perfect it hurts. They even got his lil blk cat!!
Any more perfect and he'd just be another Cell...
Shitty jokes aside whoever cast him deserves figgy pudding
I agree
@@thewretchedpleb7484 he was the best part honestly
@Keep Striving it’s Japanese anime yea.. but the world of DBZ takes place in a different world where the races are much more scattered and mixed, hell there are even real life furries that somehow still count as human.. also, aliens.
i can't stop watching this....and that ending bro....tears, finally happen...finally some one figured out how to make a god fit and adaptation for dragon ball z
+Francisco Asef You should watch DBZ: Light of Hope. It's an even better live action DBZ and has 2 more episodes coming out soon.
+Claudius Atlas i already did, and i didn't love it...it's good but this one is much better because they took the key to every character and they fit in a "kind of realistic" world...and the grounded and make it a deep concept, a great story...it's fucking beautiful
Francisco Asef Super Saiyan looked garbage too. Light of Hope nailed Super Saiyan. Considering the fights were entirely CGI, they should have atleast got that right.
+Claudius Atlas But Light of Hope didn't do anything different. I don't want to see a scene for scene re-hash of the anime because what's the point? Sure the effects in this weren't great, but since when did the effects in a film matter more than the story? You worry to much about effects over story and you get the Star Wars prequels.
vica vox Light of Hope is not a scene-for-scene rehash... it's based off the History of Trunks, but is shot and choreographed completely differently.
Personally, I think Light of Hope was better because it had entirely practical effects, the actors looked the part, and it followed the source material (with it's own creative aspects). I'm all for creative interpretations and I think this was great, but the whole dark, gritty take and CG effects just didn't cut it for me. Stray too far from the source material and you end up with DB Evolution.
The casting was so powerful that when I see the entry of a man I exactly consider him Vegeta his acting was over 9000
thank god we have people like this, making our dreams a reality, i can watch this over and over
who would u guys be if u had a choice
Thanks Dende we have an audience like you :-)
cool, i would be trunks
Sydney Patrick Marsh i have to agree trunks in this film is the worst Ive seen lol!
You should also watch light of hope that is the worth watch movie
Whoever thumbed down this, is not a Dragonball Z fan and should've even have come here. What was not to like? Considering the debacle we got from Hollywood, this was a masterpiece.

no esperaba mala
This is simply the best movie about Dragon Ball ever made, even better than the web series' pilot which was made months ago. I appreciated particularly the voice over and the total absence of dialogues, really dark and intense. And I don't care about Trunks' and Bulma's regular hair, it's perfect just like this. Good job!
VERO VICTOR!! COME HO FATTO A PERDERMI STA PERLA PER 4 ANNI!?!?
The only movies i prefer are the light of hope trilogy
I just can’t get past Trunks’s accent, that’s my only complaint here. And no Gohan
*Edit* : oh….shit…. That was Vegeta talking, not Trunks…My bad 😅
I've watched this clip like 20 times so far. Gives me chills everytime
@@thomasverslycken2563 the acting, tension, and effects were a lot better in this than Light of Hope. Trunks was easily the worst part, and I know I know he’s a kid actor, but it doesn’t give him/the production a free pass
I can only imagine what these guys would do with the budget marvel movies got. It is insane how good this actually is!!! Massive regards to you guys for accomplishing this.
A big budget is not enough to make a good DBZ adaptation, it takes someone who knows the franchise deeply and truly 'gets it'. Major thumbs up. This is, by a long shot, the best we have so far.
It's the only! For me anyway
Nothing has captured the DB feeling before this one
It is the first
Double thumbs up 👍👍 this is good
Whoever made this really likes DBZ
A lot
Facts
Exactly no one could actually make a real DBZ movie unless they were a real true fan and actually stayed up all night watching re runs of a show that they've seen a million times before because they love it that much.. This is pretty good.
Eddie Rey, you don’t understand how off course the entire thing was. They got Trunks’ story wrong
By far the best live-action movie of DBZ. Congratulations!

+avirx8 yeah. we dont like it coz it ruin the original anime.
if u ruin the original, means that's no different than the shitty DBZ Evolution.
I disliked it because the Voiceover Narration that was supposed to carry the whole story through was very annoying. I would've liked it if they weren't lazy and actually written good dialogue instead instead Christopher Nolaning the whole thing and try to make every single sentence into a deep and metaphorical meaning
+MNIMnoob with the budget they had, I'm surprised it's this good

Though I do have to say.. I hate that it ended.. I need more!
I agree. This isn't a film that focuses on the action and spectacle, it's an insight and an analysis Trunks, a character study, to be exact. It's weak in some areas, but it does well in all the others.

Simone King Okay man, first off Saiyans are not Asian! They are aliens. Dr. Briefs is an English name. His wife is a blonde white girl. Meaning Bulma isn't Asian. Bulma and Vegeta are not Asians, so trunks is not Asian. Plus Asians would look dumb as saiyan...

This is hands down the best representation of Dragon Ball Z in the real world that will probably ever exist, that is until these fine people who made this film get hired by Legendary to do the full-fledged movie.

Well done to the creators! You've just earned a new fan and subscriber! :]
It's not really hate, but common to make the hair a bit more close to the anime wouldn't be that hard.
i agree with you.
If you cannot make it better, don't flame. If you can do better, show us.
+sukiakuh Don't be ridiculous. Everyone has a right to voice their opinion. For me, it was okay, not great, not perfect, but okay. I guess it just proves that a live action version of DBZ is not doable.
I find it helps just thinking of this universe as a different universe from the original.
You can have an opinion, but if that is not good you may reserve that for yourself. Positivism with a little cinism helps improving relationships. In some places it is called education. In Japan for instance negative criticism is not very well seen.
The soundtrack and cinematography to this is amazing. That final cgi fight scene was the best depiction of dbz I've seen outside of the og anime. This fan film got so many things right, that i would feel bad to point out it's flaws. Great job and thank you to everyone who worked on it.
Every bit of what a true dragon ball z movie( LIVE action) should be. A masterpiece
Thank you very much, spread the word!
i get the guy who has the job of special effects has a damn hard job ahead of him, but seriously, we need a millionaire to fund this movie. it would be absolutely amazing to see the movie in HD just as articulate as the anime versions. i would pay good money to see that movie.

Zack Snyder recently said he is interested in directing a Dragon Ball Z live action movie. If he's looking for inspiration, he should look no further.
He can’t get dc movies right
@@iconiccgg7636 Hey so long as he stay's with the source material and doesn't tangent off like with Watchmen

I really wish you guys, K&KProductions, and RobotUnderdog2 could just come together and give us an ultimate fan series. It's obvious that all you guys genuinely know what you're doing and there's room for all of us to create something perfect.
+RandomBlackGamer Straight, perhaps you could provide the story line
Was...was, that a cell joke :0?
That would be so big
+Landon Agujar I'm fairly certain that was a perfect cell joke of the highest form.
hell yeah
"Hollywood" watch this so you can LEARN SOMETHING...
Shawn Gaston... why? you're mean...
Shawn Gaston says the one who said, " you retarted" nice grammar. Maybe you should go back to the 1st grade?
You're right, they should learn to never make dbz live action, this was as bad as DB Evolution, i actually expected it to be decent but it tries too hard to be sad and emotional. IMO at least.
Juan Buentello like not enough combat

C'EST ORGASMIQUE ! Ce film n'est pas juste une adaptation, c'est un tout autre point de vue sur le chef-d'oeuvre qu'est Dragon Ball et content de voir qu'une dream team s'est mobilisée pour faire un si bon film avec beaucoup de poésie et des plans qui en disent beaucoup. Mention spéciale aux effets spéciaux et aux décors et images de synthèse, le monteur sait ce qu'il fait !
Merci pour ce chef-d'oeuvre destiné aux fans de Dragon Ball ! Vous gérez les gens !
+SirYwhach y te faut pas grand chose...
En même temps, DB est mon manga préféré quand j'étais gosse et aujourd'hui je kiffe encore.
Vous sauriez comment telecharger les sous titres par hasard ? Merci
Sincèrement pas mal, après je pourrais chipoter sur certains détails mais ça n'a pas vraiment d'importance car les décors sont sympa et bien fait tout comme la FX.
J'ai une question, l'équipe à l'origine de ce projet est FR ?
+thomas C copicolle le lien dans jdownloader, ça va ripper les srt pour toi.
This is simply a masterpiece!
How the hell I just got to know it now?
We need to find a way to make these guys to get the money and rights to do a whole trilogy (lord of the rings length).
Why this is not happening yet?
Right I would so watch it. Big dragon ball fan
I'd pay to see this happen & I never go to theaters
So I've watched this about 3 times before. Can we all agree that this 30 minute short film was 100x better than that sorry excuse for a movie that was put out years ago.
Of course it is. That movie was god awful
jupp, definitely! Terrific graphics, just splendit!
Thanks to that we may never see an official decent live action DBZ movie or series, but fan made projects like this that there is potential in it.
Yup
Imagine if they had a real budget
Is not a compliment, but this is already better than DBevolution
+Pedro Achinelli
Anything is better than DB Evolution.
A S R Even "Blackula" or "The Godfather III"?
Pedro Achinelli DB Evolution is insultingly bad, those two are laughably bad.
A S R But to my dad like it (is not a dragon ball fan). I mean: for the people that is not on anime stuff, is really that awful?
Pedro Achinelli Yes. It's awful no matter what.
I'm not a dragonball Z fan by any means but the cinematography in this is spectacular.
JONATHAN JIMENEZ I was wondering what someone that wasn't biased and a fan think it of it. It greatly portrays dbz. very minor details left out or changed. like trunks glowing hair and eyes or his original purple almost shoulder length hair. bulma and her father the scientists aka trunks aka main character looked awesome. the fight scenes were great. cell the villain looks amazing even though he's very computer animated. this is one of the best live action fan made short films made depicting Dragon Ball Z. Awesome effort!! A- or A. Just wowed. wish they had 60mil to a big Hollywood movie. a tv series I would love better though. more longer action with greater time to spend on stories and character development. To me this in a tv series would be akin to daredevil after three movies and then the tv. movies sucked tv show epic. DBZ evolution the movie was awful. This would greatly please Dragon ball fans. I would love love love to see this. I would pay a few hundred dollars to be quite honest.
We should make a petition of donation budget for these guys to continue this master piece!!
Vegeta claiming goku as a friend gave me chills
nice
"He was the best of us".... HOLY FUCKING CHILLS
It's trunks
Bulls is his mum and Goku doesn't have a sword do you watch the anime.
+Sebastian Mitrovic he meant the tape recording vegeta left. he called goku a friend.
I know!!! That was orgasmic!!!
i love how they even added Dr. Briefs cat these guys know their shit
Ikr! They even remembered Upa!
Bulmas hair is blond they don't know there shit plus the plot is fucked up
KING Galaxy Please, stop.
the only character looks same here is just Dr.Briefs
everything but the pig and cells tail, wich is the most important part of him!!
This proves that the only people that can accurately bring an anime into the real world are the fans.
Krimson so true
Krimson No it doesn't...
maybe dude ,,but trunks isnt brown... or eastern whatever this guy is. and he has purple hair..
Nor was Cell the one who killed the warriors in Trunks' timeline.
Krimson lol or if you have some fucked up brain damage this is a crock of shit
19:00 one of the most impressive things I have witnessed in CGI considering the budget. These dudes with a marvel budget would just basically create the best superhero type movie ever.
I don't understand how it's 2020 and we still don't have an official Dragonball Z movie with the size of the fan base that it has, smh!
Oh my sweet summer child...
Because it doesn't need to have an live action adaptation
Evolution isnt even technically a dragonball *z* movie, the arc it "attempts" to "cover" is from the original Dragon Ball
People would boycott it because its live action
Idk I don’t speak for everyone but live action anime does not turn out well
I would paid 20 bucks for myself to see this movie in theatres. I'm glad we are all fans lol.
Cuando un trabajo es EXCELENTE no hay que avergonzarse en decirlo. Acá tenemos una joya entre los materiales audiovisuales hecho por fanáticos del universo de Dragon Ball.
Absolutamente nada que reprochar en el casting y las actuaciones. Los efectos especiales sinceramente me dieron envidia! me encantaría poder hacer algo así yo! Detalles que te dan esa nostalgia de estar viendo la serie, sabiendo que es algo completamente nuevo. Gente, mis mas sinceras felicitaciones!
Lo único que me hace ruido es "la pieza faltante de la maquina del tiempo", me gustaría saber que le pasó a Bulma para que muera, y hay algo de Vegeta, que no se que es pero no me cierra. Aun así, esto sin dudas es por goleada, lo mejor que vi "en humanos" de la serie Dragon Ball!!!
Ojala tengan la oportunidad de crear una segunda parte!
Saludos y felicitaciones desde Argentina. :) (y)
+Sicca Paez ... pues Bulma muere por culpa de Cell ... en la pantalla decía amenaza de cell en esa zona (donde la pieza faltante se encontraba)
trebreh sb si pero no me cierra... la tuvo que haber chupado, o la tuvo que haber hecho polvo... o se tuvo que haber muerto de una, ella es una idola total pero es muy debil! como quedo viva!... no me cierra! Igual es excelente este corto!
+Sicca Paez Es un gran trabajo sin dudas, y hacen su propia historia a raiz de la original lo que muchas veces sale mal pero esta vez acertaron. Es dificil hacer los CGI y toma tiempo hacerlos a la perfeccion pero para no ser una tremenda produccion el trabajo estuvo genial a pesar que aveces se notaban que no eran humanos. A mi la verdad el actor que hizo de Vegeta me parecio el indicado. Dije: Raaaaayos este es Vegeta!! Goku no me cuadra mucho pero como bien dijeron en otro comentario parecia que iba a ser Christian Bale jaja todos estamos acostumbrados al mitico Goku con su cabello clasico pero es dificil hacer una representacion en la vida real con actores asi que bueno...pero coincido contigo el trabajo en general estuvo genial y hay que felicitarlos
Brian Monttes de una hermano, lejos de querer hacer una critica destructiva estoy, simplemente puse lo que me hizo ruidito, pero realmente disfrute cada segundo de esto! Es muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy muy muy bueno!
Este film demuestra que con un argumento lo suficientemente sólido, inspirador y acompañado de una buena actuación, TODO lo demás es secundario. Este corto no es perfecto, tienes sus fallas en varias cosas; pero se deja sentir el hecho de que el guión lo hizo un verdadero fanático; está muy bien escrito y lleno de fuerza y vida. Este es uno de los mejores (aunque no perfectos) cortos sci-fi que he visto y me alegra decir que es de Dragon Ball. Y espero que estén pensando en hacerle una segunda parte, la saga de Cell es la que más se presta para hacer cosas oscuras y desgarradoras como este corto.
Trunks’ sobbing and complete emotional death. Then he let’s go and the rage his father could never feel is unleashed. This short film is a masterclass on how this S Tier series needs to be told.
I know this point has probably been brought up way too much, but imagine what these guys could do with even half the budget of DB Evolution...
Right ! Ill watch these fan made videos over dn evolution any day
say what you want, but evolution is what got me into dbz. it was terrible, using the cast of shameless, but I fell in love with dbz after wanting more.
+Intense Wet Dreams oh wow really??? So after watching the anime, you still think it's good??? I get what your saying. You never seen dbz before, so I get why you like it.
So after watching the anime, do you still like Evolution ?
The could probs afford some hair dye
that would be great I wish it was gohan that was fighting instead of trunks tho the CGI of cell is good but if they were gonna make a whole movie about it we're gonna have to hear him talk
2020, still listening to Vegeta's final speech, still having the chills like the first time. Vegeta's true love about his son, his acceptance of Goku as a warrior, rival and friend, everything is there in that final speech. Respect.
22:05 until the end
Exactly it show we all have respect for goku
amazing. I would be happy if you made the second part!!! please !!!
Wow this was a really interesting way to look into the DB world. Really enjoyed this!
You liked it, I thought it was wayyy to serious, and dark
+King Jaylen future trunks saga is very serious and dark
ericoso1 I know but this just felt like Boom death, destruction. I didn't feel they captured Trunks character either
+Rhymestyle It alright i guess.
King Jaylen yeah it was only 20 mins long. Would have been cool as a full movie. It's cool for a short movie tho
This sh*t is probably the closest we will ever get to a real, good, Dragon Ball live action movie. There’s Dragon Ball Evolution but, you know, I said “good”.
Look up Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope
Light of Hope is best
nibaily jeff_65 bruh don’t even start with that shitty movie.
Yep changed my mind Light of Hope is better
@@roddcozmo137 Glad to have you on board with LoH brother.
Mother of god not only is this light years better than the Hollywood produced live action movie it's amazingly far ahead of the new Dragon Ball Z movies and continuation being made by Akira Toriyama himself.
Bravo, this gave me chills.
Astonishingly well done!
+BronzeDragonWOHS dont be ridiculous. This is great but stop with hyperbole, its not better than the newest dragonball z movies by toriyama
+naijaboygangsta They are absolute garbage along with the series continuation. Breaking their own canon left and right, power creep of hilarious proportions, gods and every character but goku being useless.
DBZ was never a pillar of writing genius but the new stuff is worse than GT.
That is no exaggeration.
BronzeDragonWOHS no. But thats your opinion though . Goku is far from useless. Also you hate it because of power creep and that gods are stronger than Goku? Those are strange reason to hate on the new series. Not sure what you mean with breaking canon. The parapara brothers prove alone, that gt is far worse. Or that Goku is impressed with the strongest villain in the series destroying a city with one blast :/ shitty dialogue overall
+naijaboygangsta Your reading comprehension is lacking. I said every character but Goku was useless.
It's crap made to milk money out of a dead franchise. It is worse than GT and that is saying something. The writing is just horrid.
+naijaboygangsta right this guy needs to off himself
Wow, all characters are spot on, I'm tearing down just watching this over and over GREAT JOB GUYS
Future Trunk's story always gives me chills. Especially when he cries over Gohan's death. Now that I think about it, I saw this a couple of years ago and after watching it I wanted a sequel. (I wouldn't mind one now since this is one of my favorite stories to come from the Cell Saga.)
Same here manly because it’s a world that there’s no hope. Goku dead Z fighters killed by Androids Goku Black etc Future Trunks has been through a lot
Anyone else think this is a better movie then dragon ball evolution?
I haven't hit play yet....I indorse this message.
👍
Anything is better than Evolution.
True true
Dragon ball GT is better than evolution
" *He* was the best of us...He was my friend"...
Damn it Vegeta! Damn You Prince of all Saiyans. 😭
@Alex Luca an unofficial king, since there was no more planet Vegeta and King Vegeta had no official successor. So yeah, technically Vegeta still remains the prince of the saiyans.
Con leer los comentarios me estan haciendo llorar y aun no llego a esa parte 😢

I come back here and the fact that we don't see Goku's face is just the best! I love how the actor captures the body language so well and everything is just great! This entire film is great but that one decision is what makes me gush about this to my friends.
Hundred times better than DBZ Evolution. Great work guys!
+Aastikya Tiwari billions .. xD
who cares, its still a bad film.
Ugh....this is SO much better than evolution, but anything times zero is still zero. This adds a higher tier of quality, THEN multiplies it.
+lone wolf you're a bad wolf.
Martin Rashed well who care if its from db or dbz dragon ball evolution is a bad film either way.
Don't listen to the hate. This video was really well made. It must have took A LOT of time to make this film. It doesn't take an idiot to know that you guys put a lot of effort into this.
What amazes me are the effects. It looks fucking awesome. Great job! :)
Ryan Taylor Swift it doesn't take a genius*.
it's funny how all these indie films are better than Dragonball Evolution..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ils french
oops.
you really thought this was better...? you must be so used to shit that you can't tell it apart by now.
This obviously isn't shit bud :/
Rest In Peace AKIRA TORIYAMA
OMG THIS HAS BLOWN MY MIND !
only neg would be the actors don't have the muscly physique
+Klaeebe's true
ja acabou jessica
+Parucker P yeah
+Parucker P kkkk
I like the more realistic take on the characters, and how dark it is. DBZ could be an awesome live action film, but there's no way you could pull it off if you tried to make it look just like the anime. Just have to keep those details in that make the characters unique. Like how Goku was eating at the end.
Lyndsey Gatza trunks looks like shit....
the eating part was spot on
Lyndsey Gatza maybe but look at the attack on titan one it was pretty ok and very similar to the anime
Lyndsey Gatza man of steel , Was the only movie showing special effects worth to be used for a db movie. but i doubt someone Will ever make a High budget movie for DB.
Lyndsey Gatza that's what I'm saying you cant pull off the super sayian animation
The moment you realize the voice is Vegeta speaking to his son Trunks all right before Trunks finds Goku in the past...CHILLS! 💯
Good job on the spoilers dumbass.💯
@Michael Tortolano that's how some humans work dumb ass
