There have been many live-action Dragon Ball Z films over the years. Unfortunately, not many of them are good. Machinima is hoping to change that with Dragon Ball Z: Light Of Hope, a live-action film from Robot Underdog.
Based on the popular Dragon Ball Z manga series, Dragon Ball Z: Light Of Hope is a live-action film that faithfully retells the Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks anime story in a gritty character-focused approach. Just two years ago, the humble spec pilot took the Dragon Ball community by storm, with fans across the world rallying together to fun a full feature film. Now, it’s finally here.
With Goku, Vegeta, and the other Z Warriors dead, the merciless Androids #17 and #18 are burning the world to ash. It is up to Gohan and Trunks to save the future timeline. To accomplish this, Gohan must find a way to mentor the young Trunks and teach him to find strength in his heartache. Meaning the apprentice must grow up painfully fast to save every human life possible. While they battle, Bulma is working to create a time machine and a cure to prevent Goku from dying in the past timeline. Even if they can’t change the future, they can give hope to the past. A boy must lose his childhood. A grieving son must act as a father. A widowed wife must conquer time. Through the darkness of loss, can this family find a Light of Hope?
Directed and produced by Donnie McMillin & Rita McMillin, Dragon Ball Z: Light Of Hope releases November 14th.
Are you kidding? This looks fucking terrible, and like a highschool production
I dig it.
This is super old though. Also this is a far more accurate live action adaptation. Leagues above that DragonBall evolution garbage.
For a small budget, they did amazing work. :like:
No, no it’s crappy. Extremely crappy.
well its far better than “Dragon ball – Evolution” ;)
so much “vomitting” knowing the facts
Holy white washed Batman!
Least there are a few Asian people here. But I hear you.
I’m a quarter Asian and first gen American born on my moms side.
Not that you asked but yeah…??

No. It’s only releasing this November. But it is based on that pilot from two years ago.
Oh cool. Hopefully they fix Trunks wig because it irked me when I watched it the first time?
FYI this was a youtube series.
Ahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
More white people playing asian roles really badly?
If you mean the saiyans…well, they’re aliens, not asian and as for the androids – siblings – one with blue eyes and blonde hair…sound asian to you?
Beats evolution

bibidi!
I stop thinking, NOW
So many white people. ♀️. Not again.
Should have been more Asians
I feel like no one is doing this right ….evolution was bad…the adaptation of Death Note was also bad. Just rather leave good anime alone

Live action looks ridiculous AF for some reason.
everyone going on about white washing…I didn’t know aliens were asian…
nah you just a dumbass but go ahead cultural appropriation is cool right?
Mick Camilleri
Noooooo ?
Dragonball z cartoon has history as an American culture icon And in japan as a Japanese culture icon. Each culture will make a different adaptation. Stop complaining of race and put up the money and talent if you can make the fitting adaptation. Just hope they make it a good movie that can proudly stand alongside the material upon which it’s based.
I love it so far!
Oh god whyyyyy?!!!
Is that Nick Swardson?
Brooke Taylor Ingram
Ugh why

It’s going to suck.
Its pretty good if you put in mind thats its fan made and doesnt have the budget like a dragonball evolution
It will suck
No…. just NO!
When and where will it be released

They didn’t learn from the last one, eh…?
They have 20 minutes of footage on YouTube . 100X better the Evolution
If not over 9000x beter then evolution
I love dbz but god this looks so bad
CGI budget > casting budget
no no no no
Looks interesting, but it also looks like the makers purged it of every vestige of Toriyama wackiness. I may be wrong.
Do people not know this was announced years ago as a fan project on YouTube. It’s actually well done for being fan made.
There was an old one done live action, before the newer live action, like back in the late 80s I think
Surely You Can’t Be Serious???
Looks like porn, but worse
Yall should watch it before opening your mouth. Its pretty badass
This looks like a spirit bomb.
