Honestly, the idea of Pilaf's gang having a Saiyan is really funny. Like, he's at least 10x stronger than anyone else in this part of the series, but sheer comedic bumbling keeps him from ever being a major threat.
They knew the original series well, made several intended character changes, and (intentionally or unintentionally) leaned into the comedy aspect. So... is this Dragon Ball Abridged then?
Same! So often you see big name actors get either a bad role, or are just in a not great movie, and they half ass it and get paid prolly hundreds of times more for those roles than guys like Pilaf who give 1000000% of their being for roles like this. This is someone who just loves acting and always gives it their all, even for a role that's paying them peanuts. Not that they would or should work for free, but imagine getting...what, a few grand for this probably? Maybe less since this is a relatively old movie and inflation a bitch and S.Koreas economy has never been super amazing. Now imagine 'insert big name hollywood supertsar here' who'd need to be paid millions for this role and would put in significantly less effort unless they themselves were a DB fan and were just happy to be able to goof around in a movie such as this. That Pilaf actor is the GOAT and mad respect to every actor in this movie. Peak art. Peak passion. Peak entertainment. All making up for the...questionable overall quality (but considering the work and detail put into some things, you just know most of the bad quality was budget. Even the crap editing is probably because they couldn't hire good/experienced professional editors and it was probably the director or something going 'fuck it, I'll figure it out' lol.).
Yeah, could be Skywarp, Thundercracker, Dirge, Thrust, Ramjet, Hotlink, Bitstream, Sunstorm, Nacelle, Acid Storm, Nova Storm, Ion Storm, or Slipstream.
This was filmed at Seoul Land in Gwacheon, South Korea. It's oldest amuesment park in the country. Also incredibly cheap to visit, tickets are only 18 USD.
Also fun fact the production company behind this live-action DB adaption home-video film was distributed by DAIWON media inc. in which is an subsidiary company of Bandai & Toei animation’s agreement deal on putting out exclusive dragon ball material in South Korea so to act as an work around through the whole strict government censorship policy primarily enforced through the "National Security Act in that particular region of Korea from “1948 to 1991”, Which ultimately means believe it or not this movie was actually approved by the official I.P. rights holders of the dragon ball franchise and is practically also an very monumental film project for its time.
Vegeta: So, you shot Kakarot in the face at point blank range, when he was a child? Bulma: My friend Launch shot him more than a few times and somehow he survived. Vegeta: Yeah, he’s hard headed and hard to kill, apparently.
Vegeta: So the first thing you did when you met Kakarot was shoot him in the face? Bulma: I panicked! I didn't know he'd shrug it off! Vegeta: I have never been more attracted to you than I am right now.
All three of the original members of the Briefs/Vegeta family have tried to kill Goku, and failed. Bulma shot him, Vegeta tried on multiple occasions, and Future Trunks tried to.
In regards to the worst roshi, I was at OhayoCon one year and Master roshi was walking around giving people drinks out of his flask I think about 150 people reported being roofied by him including one of my friends.
I was definitely getting a Super Sentai vibe from this, which isn't a bad thing by any means. It looks like the folks who made this movie were having a good time, and were genuinely passionate about Dragon Ball.
Thunderbolt Fantasy has always struck me as the pinnacle of the modern connected age. We're watching the English translation of the Japanese dub of a Taiwanese puppet show featuring Chinese martial arts.
All of actor in Dragon ball Korean 1990. Heo Sung-tae Son Goku Hyung-rae Shim Master Roshi Ju-hie Lee Bulma Min-seok Jang Oolong Lee Kye-Yeong Yamcha Chun-gil Park Pilaf Se-bum Park Woomawang Yeong-ae Won Wang jeumin Geum-sig Song Murasaki Gi-Hwan Oh Old man So-hee Jeon Chichi Eun-mi Jeon Nuri Lee Sang-in Brown bear (as Sang-in Lee) Dong-Cheol Yun New monster bat Min-su No Geohan sinsa
Ok so the mecha and Shu’s weird Metal Heroes get up, the people who made this also made a tokusatsu movie called Spark Man and that’s where this movie got them from
If there is one thing I can trust team 4 star for, it is saying something would not be their best effort and quality and doing a different project even if it would get views and I am happy for that.
Think about the fact that that turtle puppet exists somewhere in the world, either that puppet or what’s left of that puppet is taking up physical space, I wonder how much resources someone will have to put in to track that turtle down and somehow acquire it
South Korea has a long standing problem with Japanese things. Like Nintendo had to get someone else to release various systems in the region (I want to say it was Samsung). So my first thought was no ninjas because of that.
With the general Korean sentiment towards traditional Japanese folklore, it might’ve been a consideration to just not have ninjas. There’s a LOT of Japan hate in Korea
The way they do Oolong, Puar and turtle is pretty incredible. Like they look really cheap at first, but then there's some pretty ambitious stuff for low budget. It's hard to do Roshi without making him an actual sex offender (which is he repeatedly in the show) I actually think Evolution didn't do too bad on that account. Very impressive wirefu. OH SHIT THAT'S NOT HIS AGE THAT'S HIS POWER LEVEL. WEN TURTLE. HIS POWER IS MAXIMUM. "My father told me never to get into a fight with two people: Majin Buu, and Turtle" These clips are making me laugh so hard I'm crying. I love DBcember.
Honestly, the low resolution look for the couch shot reactions here honestly add to the sheer comedy of them. I can't describe it exactly, it just works.
Thunderbolt Fantasy is great. It's a Japnese-Taiwanese action fantasy puppet series made by the creators of PILI a Taiwanese puppet epic show that was airing since the mid 80s. Thunderbolt Fantasy is actually a spin-off of PILI. It's a stand alone story that isn't connected to the original show's plot but a couple of characters from PILI does make brief cameos.
It was and its called Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins. I believe it was dubbed by the same Malaysian company that dubbed those Asia-exclusive Transformers shows (Headmasters, Masterforce, and Victory)
@@Bawgle That's the next movie in the lineup, which was made in Hong Kong. This one's a Korean movie unrelated to The Magic Begins, and hasn't seen any official releases since its initial debut, let alone official English dubs.
i seen this movie in the early 2000s in Mexico on Canal 5, i was mind blown when i saw a commercial for it then watching the actual flim was amazing as a kid.
23:52 Roshi cardboard cut out house Turtle to the rescue! 35:29 Goku beaten emperor, butt 36:28 Turtle one has landed 8:40 What is up with turtle and Roshi doing? 15:15 They filmed in Disneyland 26:31 Goku vs yamcha 33:41
Don't mind me, just waiting for them to announce that they are going to read the Dragon Ball Super manga and turning into a sort book club, instead of watching the anime.
This is such a lovely pallete cleanser coming off of DB Heros. I've enjoyed those videos also but this was so nice for my post-work-supper-video. Gratitude.
Two things: 1) Is Bulma driving a Reliant Robin?? 2) ngl, I'd love to see Kaiser and Lani's reactions to some of the poorly aged moments from the original Dragon Ball.
I remember this being in blockbuster and this was right next to the Korean Street Fighter Movie, which oddly enough was licensed unlike the adaptation of Dragon Ball.
Never expected Thunderboldt Fantasy to get mentioned. But yes, the show is amazing. The soundtrack its so good because its Hiroyuki Sawano, the guy that made the SNK OST
I remember coming across the whole film in the early days of youtube. I remember it being very Power Rangers / Future Cops-esque but somehow maintaining a DB feel.
Good Thunderbolt Fantasy mention for those who like Wuxia. I know some people think the puppets are goofy but if your down with it you're in for quite the show. Season 1 is still my favorite as it feels the most like a full story, but if you enjoy the characters the following seasons are still fun with great twists and turns.
God I love thunderbolt fantasy so much, it's criminally underated here in the west and personally season 2 is my favorite season I just love the characters so much in that season
@brandnamepending4817 Season 2 definitely introduces a bunch of new characters that are all great. Very strong cast that continue to get used moving forward. I just really like the dynamic of the first season where none of the characters are really what they seem at first and pays off in a really satisfying way. But I do love how Season 2 shifts towards the last third. Very fun set of villains.
Fun fact for everyone! Chi-Chi's helmet as a kid is based off of a Tokusaku call Ultraman. The exact ultra band is called ultra seven. The little laser on her forehead that she can fire and the blade. There's a lot of enemies and other shows that have references too Ultraman Kamen Rider Godzilla Super Sentai. Obviously the most recent anime dandadan has a LOT.

over 30 years old and struggling to open a microwave. But to be fair WHY DOES THAT MODEL LOCK?
Did you guys watch the Taiwanese Dragon Ball
I think Dragon Ball Evolution was bad on purpose because the hair was not done at that time.
This movie is how abridged Goku remembers the pilaf arc
"That Monster, Pilaf!"
Headcanon accepted
"Dad, were you on any hallucinogenic substances during this?"
"You already know I don't know what that word means"
Turtle when he threw fins: “You should have given me…THE MONEY”
🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: Turtle has a son! Sadly he only appears once in the series.
@akwandegawe2600like in canon or filler?
"I am Nine-Hundred and Ninety-Nine years old. I don't give a F**K!"
@akwandegawe2600 canon or in filler only?
“Why is Yamcha so goated!?”
Because every second of his life after meeting Goku hasn’t happened yet
Bandit Yamcha
To be fair he was not bad in DB OG
@@KaminzeroDB yamcha was treated so much better there then he was in DBZ
Fun fact! The kid who played Goku grew up to play the gangster guy from squid game
WHAT
Fact indeed!
Ha! That's awesome.
SAUCE! WE NEED SAUCE!
That is indeed a FUN fact
“This movie isn’t getting a sequel”
Exactly. It got 3. So far I’ve only tracked down 1
I'm sorry WHAT
Explain
hold a minute? lol
@@Lanipator So what I quickly gathered, it became a new trilogy called Gangdagu Fighter.
@@zamu2 im looking at the poster rn, IS THAT GOKU? IN A BUINESS SUIT? HOLDING A SPACE GUN?

So... is this Dragon Ball Abridged then?
HOLD! This guy be spitting facts
Welcome to Korean Dragon Ball Abridged. KDBA for short
I always respect the hell out of actors like the guy playing Pilaf, who give it their whole in goofy low budget movies like this one.
Bless them.

“He turns into recolor starscream”
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down.
Yeah, could be Skywarp, Thundercracker, Dirge, Thrust, Ramjet, Hotlink, Bitstream, Sunstorm, Nacelle, Acid Storm, Nova Storm, Ion Storm, or Slipstream.
@@leviticusprime4904 the myriad of Starscream’s clones from Transformers animated. Btw one of his clones was female.
@@HunhowsShadowStalker am I missing some meaning here or is Nacelle just a normal fukcing name lmao
@@bearerofbadnews1375 what does that say about starscream🤔
As a Transformers fan, I approve.
And so the Road to Evolution begins…
It’s gonna be a tough road ahead but we can make it
This movie is better than Evolution.
At least this movie is MUCH closer to the source material
Hfil awaits!
There are some Path to Power and Snake Way puns here. Too tired to figure them out
The road to Evolution is paved with good intentions
This was filmed at Seoul Land in Gwacheon, South Korea. It's oldest amuesment park in the country. Also incredibly cheap to visit, tickets are only 18 USD.
Also fun fact the production company behind this live-action DB adaption home-video film was distributed by DAIWON media inc. in which is an subsidiary company of Bandai & Toei animation’s agreement deal on putting out exclusive dragon ball material in South Korea so to act as an work around through the whole strict government censorship policy primarily enforced through the "National Security Act in that particular region of Korea from “1948 to 1991”, Which ultimately means believe it or not this movie was actually approved by the official I.P. rights holders of the dragon ball franchise and is practically also an very monumental film project for its time.
Murasaki wearing Saiyan armor in this movie might be the explanation as to why the Murasaki brothers in Xenoverse 2 are all wearing Saiyan armor.
If that’s true, then that’s one hell of an obscure reference and that’s awesome.
@@jdh6255 I hope it is just because it would that cool.
7:16 “hey vegeta look, I’m in a movie!”
Nappa: Oh that, that was my first attempt at show business before Hollywood.
Vegeta: GOD DAMMIT NAPPA YOU GOT IN A MOVIE WITH KAKAROT BEFORE ME?!
The actor (Heo Sung-tae) playing Son Goku is Jang Deok-su in Squid Game.
He grew up into live action Vegeta
@@zotdead08 You either die a Goku, or live long enough to see yourself become the Vegeta.
Now I can’t help but picture Kid Goku with Jang’s laugh from Squid Game 😂
lmfao he looks so adorable here, it's amazing that he grew up like that LMFAO
7:16 I don't know why, I just love Lani here. He says Nappa's name like it's less shock and more "hey buddy! what you doing here?"
7:05 The "They couldn't find a real one" response 😂😂
Bulma telling Vegita about the time she shot Goku would crack him up.
Vegeta: So, you shot Kakarot in the face at point blank range, when he was a child?
Bulma: My friend Launch shot him more than a few times and somehow he survived.
Vegeta: Yeah, he’s hard headed and hard to kill, apparently.
he would immediately tear off his shirt and ask her to impregnate him
Vegeta: So the first thing you did when you met Kakarot was shoot him in the face?
Bulma: I panicked! I didn't know he'd shrug it off!
Vegeta: I have never been more attracted to you than I am right now.
All three of the original members of the Briefs/Vegeta family have tried to kill Goku, and failed. Bulma shot him, Vegeta tried on multiple occasions, and Future Trunks tried to.
Seeing Bulma pull up in an ancient Kia was unreasonably funny.
Personally I was shocked the most by Chichi in a fucking BICYCLE helmet. That's so funny.
In regards to the worst roshi, I was at OhayoCon one year and Master roshi was walking around giving people drinks out of his flask I think about 150 people reported being roofied by him including one of my friends.
Talk about dedication to a character....
You think Master Roshi was his real name?
Not a cosplayer, just the actual guy.
Method acting.
I can’t tell what’s funnier.
A guy in a turtle suit assaulting emperor Pilaf, or a Puar plushie causally smoking a cigarette.
This is quite literally the definition of the dragon Ball at home.
When Landis said they couldn’t find a real pterodactyl so nonchalant I busted out laughing
Should have asked the confederates. They allegedly shot a few down.
It wasn't the right season. The pterodactyls migrate that time of year.😆
@@hissignaturestudios6869 ah good point 😂
OH MY GOD ME TOO
I was definitely getting a Super Sentai vibe from this, which isn't a bad thing by any means. It looks like the folks who made this movie were having a good time, and were genuinely passionate about Dragon Ball.
Ox King and ChiChi completely forgotten about and abandoned? Wow it really is just like dragonball!
Oh I found the theme park they filmed at, Lotte World. The castle is outside on its Magic Island.
12:43 ngl I wasn't ready for "I Have No Snout, Yet I Must Oink"
17:24
Kaiser: Why is Puar smoking?
Lani: Why is Yamcha so goated
Me: Why are you guys so out of focus?
I didn't even notice it since it fit with the movie
Me: Why Puar has nipples and a belly button?
Why have I not noticed this until now?
To get their reactions it was in the editor note at the beginning on the bottom
BAH GOD!!! Turtle is slapping the hell out of dem!
Bro is 999 years old and still kicking ass
Crowd "Fuck 'em up, Turtle, fuck 'em up!" [clap clap]
I now desperately need Korean Dragon Ball Abridged
If you need any Voices I will Join in
Me too, I too will join for voices
It'll be a modern day "Kung Pow" and I love it
The entire budget getting blown on the Turtle costume and pyrotechnics is so funny
Thunderbolt Fantasy has always struck me as the pinnacle of the modern connected age. We're watching the English translation of the Japanese dub of a Taiwanese puppet show featuring Chinese martial arts.
Definitely a step up from Wulin Warriors...

It would probably cost more than it would take to recreate it.
Puar being just a plushie reminded me of that live-action Sailor Moon show from like 2002 where they just used little plushies for Luna & Artemis.
With Shu being changed as well as Murasaki being changed, maybe there was something that meant they couldn't have ninjas on screen.
They tried to film them, but they couldn’t show up in the shot.
They couldn't find any real ninjas just like they couldn't find a real pterodactyl. At least they found a real smoking cat!
South Korea has a long standing problem with Japanese things. Like Nintendo had to get someone else to release various systems in the region (I want to say it was Samsung). So my first thought was no ninjas because of that.

I fear what this will… evolve…. To
“HEH, HE SAID IT!”
I don’t think it’s gonna be a “Glorious Evolution” (Viktor).
Geeku!!
Two things:
1) Is Bulma driving a Reliant Robin??
2) ngl, I'd love to see Kaiser and Lani's reactions to some of the poorly aged moments from the original Dragon Ball.

I am from Mexico and as a child I always thought that this movie was official since my local channel did broadcast it and even had dubbing XD
omg i remember watching this on VHS back in the 90s... i cant wait for them to show more of these kinda things :D
