Dragonball Evolution star knew it would bomb after unlucky Fast & Furious experience 20th Century StudiosTo call Dragonball Evolution a disaster would be an understatement, and James Marsters has revealed that Fast and Furious actually made it clear just how much of a bomb they\u2019d made. Coming up to Dragon Ball Daima, it\u2019s important to remember the low points in Goku\u2019s career defeating existential threats to Earth and the known universe. Dragon Ball has given us a few of the best anime ever, and some real catastrophes, too. None rival when Hollywood wanted some of the Z Fighters\u2019s success, making a live-action film that\u2019s become notorious for how bad an adaptation can be. James Marsters portrayed Piccolo, the action movie\u2019s villain, and he remembers opening night very well. \u201c[My son], my daughter and I were all going out to see the film together on opening night,\u201d he said on Inside of You with Michel Rosenbaum. \u201cIt\u2019s packed, and it\u2019s all teenage boys and their younger brothers, and it smells like body odor and hot dogs, and it\u2019s wonderful, like \u2018It\u2019s a hit, it\u2019s a hit\u2019.\u201d Sadly, the former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star spoke too soon. \u201cThis voice goes off inside me, and I think, \u2018This is too good to be true\u2019, and I turn to the kid next to me and I ask, \u2018Is this Dragonball Evolution?’\u201d Marsters recalled. \u201cHe goes, \u2018No, man, this is Fast and Furious, Jesus, Dragon Ball\u2026\u2019. So I get up, and I\u2019m just thinking \u2018Oh please let there be quarter of the house in the correct theater. \u201cI\u2019m in a three-picture deal, and I\u2019ve got big plans for the rest of the movies. We get in, and there were five people including the three of us.\u201d Oh dear. Dragonball Evolution went on to make just over $56 million globally, falling way short of expectations and halting any further plans. Justin Chatwin played Goku in the picture, with James Wong directing, and it\u2019s a bum note in everyone\u2019s career. Marsters mentions that he was embarrassed, since his kids were there, though his son, who was a big fan, liked the feature, giving some relief. Nowadays, he errs people away from looking it up. \u201cIf people haven\u2019t seen it, I hope it stays that way,\u201d he finishes. Since then, we\u2019ve gotten Dragon Ball Super, several anime movies in the franchise, and now we have Daima coming up.
