Revision as of 17:38, 31 January 2020
Dragonball Evolution is a 2009 action/fantasy film very very very very very loosely based on the best-selling manga/anime series, Dragonball.
Basically, the only reason it was made is because 20th Century Fox's ownership of the rights to a live-action Dragonball movie was about to expire, so they held a few hundred people up at gunpoint and forced them to churn this 73-minute steaming pile out.
Plot
What begins as an absurdly rushed search for the Dragonballs abruptly turns into a slapdash lesson on shooting fireballs at The Mask.
Notable characters
The Episode
- Originally, the hosts were going to review Waterworld, but decided that it wasn't shitty enough to discuss it. Also, Damien didn't want to synopsize a three-hour movie.
- This is the first episode to tackle a live-action anime-inspired movie
Grades
James - Tortilla
Damien - Roshambeau
Highlights
- What is Goku's last name?
- Damien subtlely blasts Final Fantasy VII and James piles on
- Master Roshi riding Yoshi
- James tries to workshop Yamcha's plan to trap people in the desert
- Chi-Chi's evil twin, "Ihc-Ihc"!
- Damien coins the word "boneriest"

Tiradesverse tropes
- Protagonists? - All of the good guys
- Ben Kingsley Paycheck - Ernie Hudson and Chow Yun-Fat
- Uma Thurman Paycheck - Chow Yun-Fat
- New Santroitcagobergville - The unnamed city where Goku and Chi-Chi go to high school
- Edited at gunpoint - More like "edited at firing squad"
- Plot convenience - Every single scene even loosely involving a Dragonball
- There Are No Police - A bully tries to run Goku over with his car, but is never even questioned, let alone arrested or indicted
- Nonsensical Title - Why is "evolution" tacked on after "Dragonball"?
- Finer Cronies and Goons, Inc. -
- Fuller's gang
- Piccolo's demon squad in the volcano
- Foot sweeps
- Nontendre - Yamcha: "Everything happens for a reason, bro. I learned that one from daytime TV."
- Exposition fairy - Gohan and Sifu Norris
- High School High
- Disrespecting the Dead - Both of these are atypical examples, but...
- Goku totally shrugs off talking about his recently murdered grandfather just so he can get closer to getting into Chi-Chi's panties
- Also, he resurrects a guy he's known for a week in lieu of his grandfather, who raised him for 18 years
- Unrealistic Real Estate - Chi-Chi's huge mansion home
- Power(less) of Faith
- H.U.R.T. - Chi-Chi gets kicked right in the face by the superpowered Goku, but appears in the final scene less than 15 minutes later without so much as a bruise.
- Gesticulation Masturbation
- Sequel That Will Never Happen
