Nothing beats the absurdity of hearing a white guy scream “KAME-HAME-HAAAAA~”, and recite the prayer to call forth Shen Long…
Goku: “COME FORTH, DRAGON.”
Wei Phin: “Wtf, then the dragon really appear ah?”
- Shen Long appears and roars on-screen. -
I grinned inside, haha. Other priceless things were “Sifu Norris”, and Chi Chi’s (largely successful) attempts to romance Goku. Oh, and the two stock characters… that scientist lady who came looking for her Promethion, and the Asian dude who dug a hole and tried to make money off of the protagonists when they fell into it…
I have never read/seen/watched the original series, be it in anime or manga form, so I can’t compare the storyline accuracy, but I think I know when an actor FAILS. Haha. I daresay the actor for Goku was not so great with the acting skills, because he was awkward at points, and you could see him thinking about his next move.
I FELT LIKE I WAS WATCHING A VERY BAD DUB. It would have been THAT much cooler if it was in Japanese, and with English subtitles, IMHO. But it was bearable… It was entertaining… And I wouldn’t pay to watch it again. Come to think of it, it would be the kind of movie that I’d wait for to reach DVD, rent it, and then watch it.
The special effects were really cool, though. :P
Entertainment factor, it rates a 7.5 out of 10.
Props to the horny Master Rosh…Raisha… whatever his name was. Bikini quarterly indeed. :)
