How to destroy Hollywood in less than 14 minutes. Brilliant quality! Subscribbled.
Alex TheKami thanks so much XD
Imagine if they had real budget...
gmc i enjoyed this video far more than the Evolution flick shit
I agree
Joseph Yaemsawai That movie was garbage. This stuff is OK I guess, kind of cheesy imo.
For the record: 2023 and STILL the best live action DBZ movie
thanks man
@@RobotUnderdog2you are a LEGEND 🍷🍷
💪👍
@@RobotUnderdog2🤜🤛😎
@@RobotUnderdog2are yall coming back with this please?
Just for the record:
It's 2021 and this is still the best live action of DBZ ever made.
I wish they continued with this project
Ready for the dlc ?
True that an amazing adaptation of the original
Disney bought fox... they can make a great DBZ movie
We should do a go fund me for them. It’s amazing !!!
The actor for 17... Goddamn he has that cold stare down!
So many of his shots are just him staring and really, excellent casting. Kudos to that actor
This is actually one of the better made Live Action DBZ fan films I've ever seen.
You even made the Saiyan hair look more realistic than other films (they usually make it too glowy and obviously fake). Fantastic work.
this was the best and most accurate dragon ball z fan made film i ever seen it even has a story line of dragon ball z also you made the super sayian hair way realistic way better then fall of the men
Agreed. Fall of Men had great CGI for Cell and the fight, but the costuming, casting and even the dialogue was of a low grade.
this is best so far fall of men sucked almost to an evolution magnitude
+Raun Carswell actually I found the CGI in fall of men overdone for the action. Notice that the close shots of cell before the action has no movement. They couldn't animate their model for much movement and we found out why when the action started. The CGI models where on such a low grade that it looked like a crappy video game. All of the fighting and movement were awfully unnatural and the long shots of the fight just made it easier to notice. Now this is understandable, because they didn't have a Hollywood budget. But RobotUnderdog goes around this issue by using their CGI models sparingly and for only quick moments so that we don't have time to recognize the low grade CGI. Instead, they film quick, closer shots of the actors when the are battling, and edit effects around them. This not only looks more natural and realistic, it always is better quality and gives more of a Hollywood action film feel to it. Fall of Men was a good attempt and is commendable, but Light of Hope seems more promising.
+John Doe Do you get paid to complain about Fall of men or is it a hobby? Damn, you are everywhere bitching and crying. You didn't like it, fine, get over it.
Dragonball evolution had a budget of 57,497,699 dollars, and it sucked. This had a budget of 10,000 dollars and it was amazing. So heres some math for ya, if everyone who watched this donated a quarter than they'd have the funding for a whole season of this. 325,000 to 400,000 dollars . FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
mikeydeadpool we like how you think
mikeydeadpool A budget of 10,000? That's absurdly low!...Yet it's still................ over 9000! ...sorry about that...
True.
KombatGod OMFG HAHAHA! !!!!!!
yes but you have to realize you probably didn't expect anything out of this yet everything out of evolution
this is living proof that a live action version of an anime and manga can be done right with a good cast and crew and creative teams that respect the source material with their work and knows what they are doing
Look at little hardcore fan jr, gonna cry?
@@babymetroid6661 no…you are!
and it does not require big names to make big movies.
Blame Hollywood
No se paresen a los personajes
Que mal👎
I just found this now. What the HELL! this is the real-life adaptation we always wanted! You did so goooooooood. I want the entire anime retold like this. Very well done!
Oh man! That's awesome 👌. There's a few really good ones out there if you search on TH-cam "K&K productions dragon ball z" you'll find a couple of their productions and related videos of other people that hit it out of the park. One really good one is Fall of Man, it's related to Cell saga
The person playing 17 did an amazing job, wow. Kudos to everything you guys do. I am most definitely donating for this.
yep. he fits good his character, but I can't feel the same in 18. she doesn't look evil at all.
***** She was sexy and her attitude was so cold. That does define 18 to me.
***** Just as Cypriot108 said, 18 was amazing. All of the characters here except Trunks were great. 17 especially nailed it.
I didn't say anything about acting. I'm just saying that if I had to imagine someone to do the androids I couldn't imagine a better 17 than this dude, but I could imagine a better 18, since that girl doesn't have a hot AND "agressive" appearance. to me she is too cute for that role.
*****
I can see what you're saying. It honestly may just be that her hair is longer. Maybe if her hair was the same length as 18's it would seem different.
Goes to show that the most creative and skillful in cinema aren't employed by Fox.
Ikr
No, not everyone can do that. And there is more to it than that. You can feel the authenticity of the video flowing through the sounds, the choreography, and the dialogue. There is just the right blend of old and new. Fantasy and realism. They might need a sound engineer, but let's get real. This is Machinama, not 20th century, Lion's gate, or Lucas Films. What is here is a perfectly acceptable reboot of a little-spoken time in the DBZ storyline. This puts profession all productions like DB Evolution to shame.
Ryufan60 I agree with you that they are just following an existing plot. I'm a sound engineer, you cannot judge all the work only for an issue on the mix. (It is never easy).
So, the only way to demonstrate your sentence is to do something like this for yourself. And ever then, maybe you have not do it enterely. :)
Hahah It is almost the same, music or noises. Check my channer if you want to check my work haha Ty!
goes to show you have been somewhere that was not here for a very long time...
You can feel the love that the creators had for DBZ, which is incredible to me
Can someone please fund these filmmakers to make this an actual movie. This is better than most box office hit fight scenes
Android 18: *takes down Gohan as soon as he arrives*
Gohan: *looks at trunks* “you attack 18”
He wasn’t at Ssj -_-
He probably knew that 18 won't kill Trunks like 17 would have.
Dealing with both of them was going to be fatal.
Yeah they were definitely no match for the Androids they couldn't defeat them they could only delay them.
“We need to buy more time, you attack 18” enough time for the people to get away to safety
Android 18 - “I can’t believe he brought a kid to a battle. Super irresponsible”
That... was FUCKING EPIC! I had a goofy ass smile on my face accompanied by chills throughout the entire action sequence. You guys absolutely killed it, perfect casting, directing, editing, costumes and pretty much everything else. Thank you all so much for this amazing gift to the fans!
mxp 32 thanks so much for that awesome feedback!!!
your lines totally match my own. I couldn't help to have a huge grin on my face for the whole action scene! XD
Hope you guys keep it up.
Also, a live action scene of Naruto vs Sasuke would be awesome, if you guys make it. :)
RobotUnderdog2 I watched DBZ on its first episode in America... I love this!
Just for the record:
It's 2023 and this is still the best live action of DBZ ever made.
Facts
just for the recond:
two years later we will be saying the exact same thing
No, its the only one,we… dont talk about The Other One
Some people are so talented, this is truly great.
This was awesome. Nevermind those who hate on it . Considering their are millions of DBZ fans out there, cant please em all. But this is definatly a step in the right direction. Cant wait for the next chapter. A thousand blessings on your house !
josh barager thanks Josh!! We are already so blessed to have amazing support from all of you guys! Thank you again!
RobotUnderdog2 hey are you and team four star group togeter?
RobotUnderdog2 well I just found this video/channel and it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! cuz I need more it was so bad ass. lol ya'll did fucking great on the fight scene. like and sub and looking forward to more.
RobotUnderdog2
absolute best Live action DBZ ever good job guys! way to stay true to the story and make it look cool because hollywood fucked up their movie
DAMN! This just proves how good a dragonball z movie could be with the right cast and writers who actually know what they're doing! Unreal job consider me a subscriber!
Ryan Curran va h
Mu,SICA los ángeles asules

It's 2024 and it's STILL the best live action DBZ movie ever made. If Toriyama saw this, he would've been really proud. R.I.P. (1955-2024)
The graphics were AMAZING! The dodging, the energy blasts, the transformation. That was honestly excellent
And this was fanmade.Unbelievable
Seems like they spent the whole budget on the fight scenes...which is exactly how DBZ should be. Really felt like live action DBZ. Especially liked the super-speed parts of the battle that are pretty much just invisible except for mid-aid impacts. Very true to the original. Also, kudos to the kid playing Trunks for great acting from a young non-pro actor. Well done all around.
So I scroll through the comments on this thing and I am freaking impressed. RobotUnderdog takes the time to reply to questions in the comment section, and say thanks to supporters. INCREDIBLE! It's rare ya see that, especially with how many comments these guys are getting.
Takeshi Himura we wish we had the manpower to reply to all of them! But we do our best. You guys make it possible for us to keep going - so the least we can do is respond :)
RobotUnderdog2 WHEN THE HELL DOES EPISODE 2 COME OUT?!
Yeah I argea
RobotUnderdog2 bummer, you guys didn't reply to me...oh well.
Well that's because we are fans and we wouldn't have been able to have done this without the fans support.
It's November of 2022.
This pilot was from 7 years ago.
Today, it has over 36 MILLION Views.
THIS is what us fans want.
I'm heartbroken that no major Hollywood studios haven't picked up on this. They would've made a fortune.
I think my favorite part was the fight choreography. Gohan was shown to have a great deal of technique while 17 used his superior attributes, like speed and strength, to beat down Gohan. Gohan had blocks, counters, and combos. 17 just rushed to pin Gohan to a point where he could use his strength and hopefully actually hit Gohan.
Oof man you are right!
AS a huge fan of DB who watched the whole anime twice, I almost shred a tear when I finally see a good real life dragon ballz movie. GREAT WORK MAN KEEP IT UP!
thynaruto thanks man - glad to hear that such dedicated Dragon Ball fans like this too :)
Ditto!
Only twice? I've watched like 4+ times.. NUB!!............ JK :D
I heard you +thynaruto. I'm also a huge fan of DB. I watched DB, DBZ, and DBGT along with all the movies. They did a great job with this episode.
You know, I can't seem to grasp how a fan made pilot can be a billion times better than a million dollar Hollywood adaptation. It just goes to show creativity and passion always trumps money.
thanks so much man! that really means a lot :)
LudeandLude you are so right, this was freaking amazing and watching the Hollywood make made me want to smack all the writers.
it helps that they didn't cast a scrawny goku/gohan just to appeal to pre-teen girls. Looks like they knew their audience
LudeandLude I find the script kind of cringey but other than that you're right on the money. While I wouldn't go to say it's better than a Hollywood film, it's leaps and leagues beyond that crappy DBZ adaptation that came out years ago. Money can't get you everything, it only buys man hours, and with enough dedication, skill and time you can easily accomplish the same.
LudeandLude What Hollywood adaptation?
5 years later and 4:40 gives me the chills. The scream, stance, and tone of the transformation is just too good.
I had to pause and rewind. It was *chefs kiss* magnificent!!! It's the stance for me
I liked what the ground did when Gohan transformed, looked soo realistic to what we'd see in the show.
@@SWyrick366 5:20 to 5:25 was clean how he dodge the ki blast
@@SWyrick366 than counterd with a ounch
It's pretty sad that a short fan film is actually more enjoyable than Dragonball Evolution
*17: attacks gohan while he is charging the kamehameha*
*Wait thats illegal*
Not Gohan goku
@Victor Kiprop
That is Gohan, it’s Future Gohan to be exact.
Edit: Punctuation
@@litmusic6067 Oh god, another one hasn't watched Z
@@litmusic6067 Brother you need to watch the movie, this is the Gohan who loses his arm and dies later on
Wait is the little one with capsule shirt is he goten or someone else?
Damn shame when people can't even sit back and enjoy a damn episode without everyone acting like a DBZ expert! Its not a damn movie its a fan made project ENJOY IT
keikdasneak this is exactly why no big studio will ever touch DBZ - it is indeed a shame
*****
They need to read the comments for feedback (some positive) and constructive criticism. It's not all negative you know?
RobotUnderdog2 Hey, you did your best and this hardcore fan is deeply impressed! Block out the haters and keep doing your thing and i'll be waiting for the next installment with all my friends!
RobotUnderdog2 for one the animated series is so damn perfect that even the thought of making it live action is scary enough for the big studios to even tackle without receiving a shitload of complaints.... Just look at that one movie that we all promised never to speak off ever again... Now that was a mistake...
Now then in terms of what you did here, its actually not half bad since you followed the animated version very closely and not made any drastic changes... It could use a little work though...
117 th like ^^
It's so wild to me that all these years later, this is still a better quality production then a box office film which had millions behind it - just goes to show when you give a film to the right team, it will come out like an absolute banger.
Damn... 6 years later... no real life has done as good as this one.
Soundtrack and all.
Good job guys.
Just simply amazing, Give these guys a real budget and let them go wild! They have what it takes to make the perfect dragon ball z movie :X
0lvl thank you so much!!! We love hearing that XD
Yeah, this is way better then that crap DB Evolution.
LOOOL no they dont, did you even look at trunks? NOTHING LIKE TRUNKS!! Oh my god this was so awful
Poor attempt, trunks is not tan and does not look like this lol this is just lazy
if you are going to be like that, then gohan doesn't look like gohan either...But overall, they played their roles well, that's what's important in my opinion. They preserved the character from the anime, which is more important then looking exactly the same.
Holy shit guys, this is what I've been waiting my whole life! Be sure, I'm doing a donation for your project. Thank you very much!
Manu Gala Thank you Manu!!!
I've been waiting for 6 month or more lol I lost track but it was worth it
not with that ugly ass fedora, i hope.
Don't hate cause he has the balls to rock a sweet hat and you rock a anime picture
crazyhatchetlife haha nice one
It's been 8 years, why hasn't this movie been done! We need this, someone should start a petition
Just for the record:
It's 2022 (approaching 2023) and this is the best live action of DBZ ever made...
I wonder what happened to this studio?
This is way better than that shit movie DragonBall Evolution :D
Everything is better than that Yamcha equivalent.
William Bishop Right lol
***** Who doesn't love it? lol. Fans can make better movies than the people at Hollywood, and that's a fact.
***** Trust me, personal profit is far more satisfying than helping people. Not that I consider it a flaw, (In fact, I think the opposite,) more people would rather make ten dollars than giving one to help someone.
***** True.. What a waste of money on a stupid movie. I'm a huge fan of DBZ, but that movie there was just terrible. Since when a kamehameha wave can revive people? Since when did bulma have one string of blue hair? Since when did Goku start going to school? Since when the energy wave or blast came out as smoke?.. Guy who played Goku looked nothing like em. Japanese people would've made that movie alot better knowing they dress and look like the character when they cosplay.
This was absolutely amazing. It finally proves that DBZ can be done well as live-action. I'm eagerly anticipating the second episode, and if it's on the level of this one, it will be mind-blowing.
thanks so much David Coyle we definitely plan to raise the bar with each episode!
RobotUnderdog2
can`t find any info when next episode gonna came out.... you guys are just awesome, I literally cried like a child watching this... So, FASTER, give me next episode !
Piotr Rossa This has incredibly high production values so it's likely expensive to create. They need the funding as well as the time to make it incredible so we shouldn't pressure them into cutting corners so we can get it earlier. It's kind of like trying to perfectly reproduce the art in the Sistine Chapel and everyone wants it done that day.
And yes, I did indeed compare this film to Michelangelo. To me, it's that good.
exactly, David Coyle everyone (million dollar companies) dropped the idea of a Live Action DBZ Adaptaion when Evolution made less than it took to make the movie itself, this proves that it is doable and if they had the same budget, would outshine DB Evolution even in effects... the DB Evolution writer said he wanted to stray from the original DB Plot as much as possible to make it unique :/ Bad Call
No this proves DB(Z) can't be live action but fans can do a better job than Hollywood.
2022 and once again I still find myself in complete astonishment at the amazing work that was put into this series.
It really goes to show what can be truly accomplished when the cast, crew, everyone involved one way or another has true passion and respect for the source material.
I'm still baffled and saddened that nothing ever came from this further. How could anyone not see that a true live action version is indeed possible, and they were the ones that could have achieved it?
It’s a masterpiece that no popular studio could sadly create
There's even episode 2 and 3.
How am I barely seeing this!?! Respect! Hope all of you kept it up! Thanks for the video!
I don't even know where to begin...!! This was so beautifully done that it brings a tear to my eye. THIS is the type of thing we should have gotten from 'Dragonball: Evolution but that was garbage but THIS was.. THIS is what happens when you put real fans behind a project and actually care for your work and the source material. Like even that segment where Gohan is nursing his wounds talking to Goku (in spirit) -- that shit was dope. This whole film gave me life. Man if these film production companies don't see the potential in properly bringing DBZ to the big screen then they missed the ship! With the incredible on-going storyline in addition to fight choreography/special effects not many films can even have the pleasure of showcasing, this has the potential to be big! S/o to +RobotUnderDog because this shit was incredible! I'm very satisfied with this and am looking forward to the series. I had soo many feels while watching this, the atmosphere is great especially for this story since its a dark time. That super saiyan transformation looks so natural as if that what it would really look like. So damn awesome guys! Job well done! Fucking amazing, definitely worth the wait, i cannot wait for "the next episode of Dragon Ball Z"!! Keep up the great work guys. :)
*in the tone of a guy that's trying to talk like a girl* Oh....mah gawd....my ovaries are gonna explode
XD Flame the Cyber Saiyan Oh my gawd.
*Ovaries proceed to explode and in the same tone* They exploded
Well then, i guess that's how exciting this pilot episode was.
It is XD it's pretty well made lel
Finally...finally...*sheds a tear*.......finally. A live action DBZ...
...and it's...not shit...
Valosken thanks man!!!
RobotUnderdog2 You should dub to Spanish aswell, that’s one of the biggest part of fans and possible supporters
RobotUnderdog2
Thank you for this gift to the world! I'd donate money, but I can't! Do you make ad revenue?
Andres Rivers or you could just learn english, if this is dubbed over it's going to look weird
chris tafer, can u tell me where that do sux, its finally a real DBZ thing and it looks good, do it better dude, or show some respect!
One of the best fan films I have ever seen. This is also my favorite story arc in all of dragon ball. You can't go wrong with future gohan
Just for the record:
Its 2023 and this is still the best live action BDZ ever made.
THIS LOOKS SO INCREDIBLE IT'S ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE HOW ON POINT THIS WHOLE THING IS! I do hope you will continue this soon because it's AMAZING
sassy041711 thanks so much!!! We will definitely continue!
thank you very much. I was wondering if you can remake db evolution.
I can't believe that such a great film can be achieved by "just" fans and when Hollywood has the chance they fuck it up.
thats because they keep adding in shit that makes 0 sense, and trying to dumb down everything to make a profit than do it right the first time round...DBE, avatar, ghost in the shell, i think the only one they got right was prolly blade
I know, right?
Makes sense. And yeah. But, even then, they kind of dropped the ball on some stuff in the Blade sequels
Hollywood makes a 2 hour movie in 6 months, these guys made a 13 minute episode in 4 years, do the math.
"Quick Nappa how much better is this compared to evolution?"
"Its over 9000!!!!"
"Good, as well as it should be."
Loooool
The meme lives on
This is really really cool I could see this being on the big screen in the theater that how good it was great job
I'm a avid DBZ fan but some of you other fans don't deserve crap. You nitpick too much, you're ungrateful.
This was well done project for it's budget. You all expect too much from these fan made adaptations. This body of work is faithful to the sources and respectful as well. Things Dragonball Evolution wasn't Fox just wanted to make a Spiderman movie using Dragonball characters and putting Goku in highschool. It was the worst crap I ever scene.
I don't get the complaining about the fight scenes. In DBZ they are fight at lightning fast speeds and even faster, how do you translate that to live action. You gotta use quick cuts and editing and special effects to do that and keep it balanced and I think they did it perfectly.
Special Effects are fine, for the low budget they are on
Acting is what I expected from amateurs. Hell the kid that plays Trunks already looks better than the kid that played Aang in The Last Airbender adaptation. You're not gonna get top notch actors for a project like this. Especially when you need martial artists. Not alot of martial arts out that are GREAT actors for a project like this. I'll rather have good martial artists that can''t act than actors who have no martial arts experience at all, good example Justin Chatwin... how that turn out?
Dragonball Z isnt even dependent on alot of dialogue, it''s straight fun action with incridible ground shaking battles. The story of Dragonball Z is simple as well. Classic good vs evil. Don't know what yall expect but it's funny. All DBZ is about fighters getting stronger and fighting the next stronger villain that shows up. What do you expect? The Dark Knight? Sophisticated dialogue?
Shut up and enjoy whats being fed to you. Stop nitpicking
Yeah, it was pretty rad and WAY better than anything I made in highschool or post school movie projects. HA! (and I haven't seen the DBZ live action movie, but from the trailer I can tell that this respects the license more so and had more care put into it)
Well said!
i agree 100%. for the budget given to them and to do such a great job. i have been a dbz fan for over 20 yrs and this is the first live adaptation to do the series justice. the fox piece of crap just took a dump on the whole series. cant wait for another episode and hope they keep up the good work
If people are upset about Gohan's color then wait until they see Jesus. 👦🏿
It does always crack me up when I see him portrayed as a middle-aged White man.
Maulth exactly!
lmfao!
💯
You are killing me!
Please, make another dragon ball Z remake... this is absolutely brilliant and the best live action version I have witnessed by far. You all are amazing and keep up the great work! 🙌👏
Hello Klarissa my lovely friend how are you doing nice to meet you here. I really love and appreciate your comments. Please tell me more about yourself. Where are you from❤❤?
This guy actually looks like Gohan too lol
a 100% better than evolution
Over 9000% better than evolution.
+Bluestal 8000*
***** No. It says 9000 in the dubbed episode and I was also making a reference to the internet meme. Stop trying to be a smartass.
Bluestal It's 8000, learn Japanese you weaboo.
***** Oh god. You called me a weeaboo when obviously you are one. Unless you are actually Japanese? And did you even read my last comment? I acknowledged that it is 8000 in the sub version .
I decided 30 seconds into watching this that it was already better than that atrocious movie Hollywood made back in 2009. Loved this! Thumbs up!
flickdude3 woohoo! Thanks!!!
RobotUnderdog2 Reply me GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anything is better than that garbage that will not be named.
I thought we all agreed that that didn't happen. Same with the Avatar film that also doesn't exist
IDK what you're talking about. There was no Hollywood DB movie made in 2009. I've found no record of it whatsoever.
4:40 that’s the best position to make your transformation look good and I am amazed how good it looks.
5:09 that was incredible
I don't know if I'll ever be able to get fully into live action DBZ but I really enjoyed that. I feel like they really captured the combat well for such a small budget. Loved the explosions in the sky when they're flitting around super quickly like in the show
i still dont understand why there isn't a good Hollywood DBZ movie
Joey Truijens hopefully we can change that one day!
Por que cada día valen mas vehrga!... VIVA Dragon ball Z Hijueputaaa!!! ya es hora de que saquen una buena pelicula con efectos reales y toda esa vaina, no sé, que esperan... creo que si sacaran una serie con estos efectos del principio a fin con todos los capítulos y personajes fuera una gran producción la mejor de todos los tiempos, fuera histórico en la vida de la humanidad jajaj XD QUe infancia mas feliz he tenido con DGZ nadie puede decir lo contrario todos decimos lo mismo :)
RobotUnderdog2 Good work.
True, just get Zack Snyder to direct it.
***** Please no.
You actually captured the spirit of DBZ in this. I sincerely thought DBZ was just one of those things that was had its place in its medium and just wouldn't cross over well live. "Live action DBZ" and "good" just didn't belong in the same sentence. This shut me the hell up. I'm off to freakin donate.
Jackie Black thanks man - we really appreciate that :)
100% Loving it!!!! These guys need funding to complete the series!!!
This Is Dragon Ball Z. This is One of the greatest Fan Films in History! Nice job Guys!
PURE EPICNESS!!! This is how live action DBZ should be, awesome work guys!!!
Yeah, this was Awesome!
holy Shet Its Anime Games Online :3
Nice To Meet Ya M8
Continue Your Great Work :)
Young CreezyTV hey thx bro, nice to meet you too :)
there is another Life Action Movie? i think i have erased that on my Mind ;) never shave seen or heard about!!
The fight scenes were angled and cut just like the anime! A+ (Flawless Films brought me here)
***** love your channel
***** Love your channel and always watch your videos. You are so good at what you do. Funny seeing you here. Guess we like fighting for the same reason. Watching Dbz as a child.
***** omg fight tips! on a dbz vid
Every damn time I see a disappointing fan made, I get back to this one to wash my eyes. Still by far the best fan made I've seen so far.
Can you believe idiots trying to say the fall of man one is better
@@BESTMOAD I didn't know about it. Just watched it, and it's pretty good too! They have better scenery and CGI. But the actors of C-17 and C-18 in this one are unmatched though. And the battle choreography is more nervous.
Going back and Watching tht first time transformation is always the best 🔥 still amazing. Thank you again guys 🥰
Gohan: yeah... 18 just fucked my shit up.... Trunks u fight her.
haseo1stform lol
*****
That's not hard though xD
Gohan knows that 17 is stronger than 18, that's why he send Trunks to fight her while he battles him...
Haha i thought the same!
Cynaak 888 Yes! That's right. I'm glad somebody understands why Gohan sends Trunks to fight her, haha.
This made me have goosebumps watching and hearing almost perfect storyline. This is what dragonball fans need in their movies. People who appreciate great work
Bruce Brittain thanks man!
The second I clicked this video it looks more than badass it’s amazing great job on this robotinderdog
sesea gud
THE CLOSE UPS THE EFFECTS EVERYTHING THIS IS AWESOME 👏 👏👏👏👏
This pilot is stronger than the entire Dragon ball Evolution film. You've done the series proud guys, the casting was spot on 17 in particular gave me chills. hope you continue to get the backing you deserve, incredible absolutely incredible
Josh Healey thanks a ton Josh! We will definitely continue & hopefully the backing will come too!
Yep, yep, yep, makes looks hollywood like bunch of amateurs
These haters are nuts. True DBZ fans like myself are busting nuts stoked for more episodes
Cody Shaw haha thanks man - glad you liked it
Agreed
True DBZ fans will tell you to shut the fuck up and sit down.
Izak133 No they won't, you angry midget. Fuck off.
"True DBZ Fans" rofl
Amazing. I hope to god you get this full length movie into production
Been coming back to this video for 9yrs now 💯
No matter how many times I watch this I still can't help but get goose bumps when Gohan powers up to super saiyan.
Loved this so much and thank you to all involved for making this happen
***** thanks so much for the feedback! We love hearing that XD
RobotUnderdog2
I completely agree.
what the hell. I'm over 4yrs late to this party! looking good in 2019
Welcome to the late people
Haha welcome guys
Like fr
Yea
I too
I watch this and i still get so easily like....hyped up and juiced watching Gohans transformation. Epic~
Fuah que épico fue esto, alto recuerdo. Ojala algún día una adaptación live action de ese nivel
its sad how this is better then any actual dragon ball z movie could ever be (with people I mean)
Trey XD dragon ball evolution
jiely plays At least Dragon Ball Evolution was so bad that it made Akira Toriyama want to continue Dragon Ball. (Hence the new Dragon Ball stuff)
I think it was just the popularity of Dragon Ball that made him return (Also popular media is a great money maker); not a terrible movie. Plus he wouldn't continue it years after the movie if that was the case.
DraconicEpic He said in an interview that it were the terrible live action movies and anime scripts that made him return. It wasn't only the Evolution movie, but also the script of the new DB movie (probably Battle of Gods) that was handed to him and that he thought was unfitting. He said the anger about the adaptions made him realize how much love he still had for DB, and he edited the script himself and started working on the new DB stuff.
Him continuing DB because of the money is such a cliché reason. He has more money than one could spend and he would've made money of the new DB stuff even if he didn't directly work on the scripts. Also, if he was just about the money then why make a two decades long break in the first place. Looking at his interviews, he's really not the type of perso who could work on something that doesn't interest him. Even at DB's peak he only drew 13 pages a week instead of 19 because for him it was about the fun of it.
+Coyote W s

The fights are so good ! This is what I wanted from a live action Dragonball z film. Same intensity & speed! & The music🔥
In these few minutes i had like 5 times you made me almost cry.
JUST WANNA SAY THANKS !!! YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN AMAZING WORK !!!!! AKIRA TORIYAMA MUST BE PROUD OF YOU GUYS !!!! LOOKING FORWARD FOR PART 2 ... THE WORLD IS WATCHING THISSSSSS AMAZING SERIE !!!!!!! THANKS AGAIN
tony609 thanks man! we really hope he sees it!!! that would just be mind blowing XD
RobotUnderdog2 any way you guys could do a piccolo and goku vs raditz fan vid? The original dbz battle
RobotUnderdog2 Do you ever think Hollywood/other movie industry would legit want you guys for a movie? So they can cover up Dragon Ball evolution of course! :P
Gotta say, Live action and Dragonball Z had me more then a little apprehensive to say the least. I wasn't expecting anything other then a few cheap laughs at some cheesy amateurs butchering my Favorite Dragonball Z movie of all time. But I was beyond shocked at the obvious care, dedication, attention to detail and overall quality of the the PILOT ALONE. At one point I even had to step back and say, "This is for real!" Even the guys at Machinima see the talent you bring to the table. fight scenes are done Dragonball Z style, without going over bored. the tones are also very dark, The music is even a surprise. Its not a carbon copy of the original themes we grew up loving, but the new themes feel like they belong here, the CGI is better then any movie short of those with MULTI MILLION DOLLAR BUDGETS!!! Looking forward to more, don't let haters discourage you. Dragonball Z is easy to screw up, and your defiantly not. This is Dragonball Z made by Fans, for Fans! (And it's awesome.) :)
andakin117 thanks so much for the awesome feedback man! We really appreciate it :)
it's well deserved. this is just epic. Looking forward to the next episode. keep up the good work.
6 years later I find this :O better than Evolution for sure.
Has it really been 6 years already??
Even so, still the best damn DBZ live action I've seen, and continues to hold up even after all this time. So much so, I have to continuously return from time to time just to watch it again.
And still, as I said years ago, I absolutely loved the way Gohans transformation was handled. That sound, that 180 spin, completely epic.
How the hell were you all never picked up to attempt a true live action movie is beyond me. It's a damn disgrace it never happened.
Amazing. Thank you so, so much for making a live action DBZ show that doesn't suck. That transformation sequence was just awesome and so was the combat choreography between Gohan and 17. Also, that "like father, like son" line in the episode 2 preview made me actually laugh pretty hard.
Glad you like that line. :)
For those of you complaining that Gohan and Trunks should have been "white", I'd say it's as silly as wanting salsa dancers to be portrayed by white people. When I think of martial arts the only white martial artist that could possibly come in mind is Chuck Fucking Norris...
well with a saiyan it could really go either way. Gohan should be asian as chi-chi is but I just never saw trunks like that, his skin tone seemed darker then gohans and the like.
fyrick24 trunks is gonna be older in the next episode this is before the time skip in History of Trunks and the voice of the narrarator in the start of the episode is the actor for Future Trunks
It was always my understanding that the Saiyans are more Japanese in features, while alot of the story in dragon ball is Chinese in setting at first, and the martial arts itself is more chinese in style. But the Saiyans,Radditz, Nappa and Vegeta have more traditional , straight forward Karate style martial arts. I always thought Briefs and Capsule corp,with their English names, were white. And that Trunks was a mixed kid. As was Gohan and Goten. The RRA is obviously Caucasian and plays with German / Nazi styled themes. I have no explanation for what the fuck #19 is.
Mmmm white and what color are they???? For me they are white ?????
CHUCK FUCKING NORRIS lmfaoOo
The fighting is so on point. Good stuff.
this is truly amazing omg
This Pilot is waaaaaaaay better than any other movie ever made in real adaptation, it is just awesome, and the SS transformation... it was amazing. I hope you make part2 and 3 and 4!!!
Syl red we hope so too!!!
Exactly what I was thinking!
Gohan's death in the original anime is the first time an anime ever made me cry.
The sense of loss of seeing him die, the loss of potential, the suffering he had endured, the loss of his father. Just, ooof i couldn't help it.
Trunks' original transformation to SSJ after always absolutely stuck with me too. Much like his father, his transformation was bourne of pure rage and heart ache.
Top 10 anime events of all time in my opinion. The original Japanese version on that gritty VHS tape. We all cried in the inside when trunks found his dead body lol
Tbh besides Gohan n the rest of the z fighters dying this was a good timeline trunks went ssj the natural way is better than him just randomly turning ssj
It felt so different to any other Dragon Ball death because you knew there was just no coming back to life from that in his timeline.. 😥
Thanks a lot for creating this!! ❤❤ Dragon Ball forever!
I get goosebumps every time I come back and watch this trailer.
It's incredible....
Brilliant proof of concept, and the performances are spot on. Just seeing it now 4 years later, but I’m blown away
Everyone is like why isn't Goku white? First of all, that isn't Goku. Second of all, remember when Goku was white before. Yeah, that turned out great.
actually he is. everyone considers most dbz characters as caucasians
MIKE ZEROH talking bout the atrocity that was the movie, friend
the movie was terrible, however i imagine my dbz live action characters as caucasians .
MIKE ZEROH It's hard for me to picture that but I'm happy with what we have. I just find it funny a majority of the comments are like "why is Goku Asian?" It's not even Goku though.
lmfaoooo its gohan people are stupid.
Wow. Accidentally stumbled across this. Best live action I've ever seen!
The best fanmade DBZ content ever made. The passion is unmatched!
So far the most convincing Fan made video of DBZ I've seen. Bravo. The director has nailed the fighting scenes but still needs work on directing the actors during the emotional dialogue. Hard to have everything without Hollywood budget.
Exactly my thoughts. The fights were epic I think he really captured the feeling of the fights in the cartoon version.
The Power Rangers and Dragon Ball Z fan mades both in one day? This is awesome!
Amy Meador Nice dude
I know really awesome
Can you give me the like to the Rangers video?
***** just search for power/rangers
***** better hurry the NSFW version already got removed
I am in awe really! Amazing short film
2024 and im 16 now and still i thought this shit was a real dragon ball z movie back when i was like a kid 8 years ago. Cant believe i cried too back then 💀
