Posible history, source unknown
Here’s what I’ve been told is the scene by scene quick breakdown of the script. I’m not happy about several parts.
Act 1 : The Beginning
- Goku is an 17 yr old teen who is trained in martial arts by his grandfather, Gohan
- Goku attends a local school along with a child hood friend and love interest, Chi Chi
- Goku is unpopular at school and is periodically harassed
- Goku is involved in a fight at school, people are probably freaked out
- Gohan prepares a dinner for Goku’s 18th birthday
- Gohan is mortally wounded by one of Piccolo’s henchman, who steals the Dragon Ball
- Goku presumably defeats Piccolo’s henchman, retrieving the stolen Dragon Ball
- Goku is told by Gohan to seek Roshi and the remaining Dragon Balls
- Gohan dies, Goku departs on his journey, alone
Act 2 : The Adventure
- Goku encounters a woman named Bulma, who tracked him with a Dragon Ball detecting radar
- More is presumably told of the Dragon Ball legend
- Goku and Bulma locate Roshi
- While on their journey, Roshi begins Goku’s rigorous training
- The travelers fall victim to the pitfalls of a desert wasteland, Yamcha taunts them
- Roshi tells the tale of Piccolo
- Yamcha aides the travelers out of the desert
- nearing the end of their journey, the team encounters Piccolo
- Piccolo ask Goku to join his effort, revealing his Saiyan origin
- Goku refuses Piccolo offer, but is easily defeated by him
- Piccolo obtains the rest of the Dragon Balls
- Piccolos plan must call for other prerequisites
- to which the team prepare their counter effort
Act 3 : Tournament of Champions
- The group reunites at Tournament to foil Piccolos ambitions
- Chi Chi encounters Goku and his crew at the Tournament
- Chi Chi test Goku’s strength in a exhibition match, after which they get intimate
- Events of the tournament take place, leading to the fight between Roshi and Piccolo
- Roshi tries to ensnare Piccolo within a curse
- Mai intervenes and saves Piccolo
- The negative effects of the curse kill Roshi
- Goku and Piccolo face off in the final round
- Goku defeats Piccolo, perhaps allowing him to live despite what he has done
- the end
Wow I’ve gotta be honest man, I don’t really like it.

they just screwed up the db franchise
Well I wouldn’t say that chow yun fat one of my top 5 actors of all time and one of the best at his craft signed on. It may actually not be that bad, but it would require superb acting and directing because the plot if this is the one they go read pretty weak and typical and the part with Goku in school getting made fun of is kinda well not good and I’m hoping that only takes up like 10 seconds of the film . Goku woulnd’t take crap from anybody and would turn it around into something funny. (normally due to him being ignorant). This could actually be good as I know James wong sets high standards for his films and being that the film is based off of a chinese story I think he’ll do everything he can to do a good job but it’s gonna be primarily up to the actors and James as a director to do a good job. I can’t really judge it until I see the trailer. And even if this movie sucks it might pull in a few more fans to the manga and anime which would be fantastic because there are still so many people in the US who don’t realize how incredible and epic db/z is, what it’s about and that it’s not just for little kids but an animated masterpiece for all to enjoy like the disney works.
