Jamie Chung - Dragon Ball Evolution Movie

Jamie Chung - Dragonball Evolution

Based on the manga by Akira Toriyama, Dragonball Evolution movie mixes martial arts, Chinese mythology and science-fiction. Dragonball Evolution Directed by James Wong, from a screenplay by Ben Ramsey. Besides actress Jamie Chung as Chi-Chi, this movie also stared Justin Chatwin.

In the movie Justin Chatwin stars as Goku, the grandson of a martial arts guru (Randall Duk Kim) who bequeaths him one of seven glittery orbs necessary to fend off the diabolical schemes of Lord Piccolo (James Marsters).

As Goku quests to unite the seven Dragonballs with the help of a heavily armed (Emmy Rossum) and Chow Yun-Fat as the bumbling Master Roshi, the movie takes great pleasure in completely reinventing itself every five minutes or so. There’s the bit at the kung fu tournament, the challenge at the volcano, the doppelgänger catfight, the visit to the crypto-Tibetan monastery, the struggle with the intergalactic werewolf.

Second-rate special effects double the pleasure of these goofball shenanigans, which show the touch of the producer, Stephen Chow, master of the action movie “Kung Fu Hustle”.

Now the latest trend in Hollywood has producers trying to repackage some of the biggest Japanese animated series as live action movie, and it seems only appropriate that Dragonball Evolution is one of the first to find its way to the big screen.
