Goku? Oozaru? Or Just Someone’s ‘Dragonball’ Halloween Costume?

Dragonball

DBTheMovie.com recently received a photo (from an anonymous source) that purports to be from the set of the new Dragonball movie. “We’ve received a photo from an anonymous source, which is said to be of Goku in ‘monster’ form. Whether or not the photo is of the finished product or an unfinished one is unknown, but we’re guessing the latter is the case.” I’ll admit right now that not only do I not know what the hell this is, but I don’t even know what it’s supposed to be. “Goku in monster form” means nothing to me, but it might to you, so here it is.

Scanning through the almost 500 comments that followed the photo, the general impression appears to be that the look is unfinished, but scary and creepy nonetheless. Is this a good thing? I don’t know. What I do know is that his neck is guaranteed to look extremely rubbery when he turns his head. I will admit though that it’d be kind of cool to see him do some kick-ass martial arts moves. (Dragonball has martial arts right? Or is it just balls flying in people’s faces?)

What do you think of this possible photo of Goku in monster form?

I had a strict policy not to see movies that are about balls flying into people's faces. Then I saw Dodgeball and had to stop that policy. What could go wrong?

Wow. And here I thought it couldnt get any lamer than "Double Dragon" and "Super Mario Bros".

In the anime series, Goku's Oozaru form resembles a giant gorilla not unlike King Kong. A fan of the old animated show would tell you that whatever that thing is supposed to be in the live-action flick is ridiculously inaccurate and a slap in the face of millions of die-hard DBZ followers everywhere.

And to answer your question, Rob Hunter: It is NOT a good thing.

Remember that time Piccolo wasn't green?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! All around! What they are doing is an abortion to a beloved anime and I am tired of Hollywood and other film studios doing this type of crud! I refuse to see this movie and do not recommend it to anyone who, like myself, is an actual fan of the DBZ or who isn't and gets talked into support this joke of a film by some lame or their kids who don't know better.

& whatever that stupid looking monster is supposed to be, it is most definitely NOT Goku's "beast form". So BOOOOOOOOOOOO again!!!

I think they should do us a favor and stop production altogether. They always manage to make the movie look lamer than it already was.

When I look at the picture all I see is Goku mid transformation, so if you were to make that thing much bigger and color it in, it has the potential to be a really good looking monster. Dragonball is about a bunch of good guys loving each other and asking bad guys not to hurt anyone for 20 episodes before they finally have to cut them in half. It's perhaps silliest to expect this movie to ignore that heartwarming story premise, and from what I've seen and heard the identities of the characters are all well represented. Add in the awesome special effects and you have Dragonball.

Only smart person

okay its unpainted, its uncomplete, and when its head turns why the hell would it look
rubbery, its a model theyll make a CGI version for movie, and the movie cant be to dragon
ball or it would turn out really gay, magine someone with realistic goku hai or a deep green
person it all looks gay so they had to modifie a few things

Notice the fact that he's still wearing his uniform. That shows that this is Goku at the beginning of his transformation. Otherwise he would be gigantic, CG, and would have already ripped his clothing. This is a transitional form, obviously.
