Do you know the rest of this story or shall I explain it?

ps. didn't you guys know? There's actually already a live action Dragonball movie lol. It's a foreign one though and isn't anywhere near as good as the "real" thing.

Explain? Dragonball story? To me? You insolent human... haha... just kidding...

Anywho:
1) Piccolo has more forms than anyone else in the series (With only Buu surpassing it) and you were right about him being born when King Piccolo died (so during that saga he appears only as a egg/kid).... yet he is grown up during the storyline in the movie (at least that what's the synopsis said)... i only assume that the story might skip from the King Piccolo saga to the last world martial arts tournament in DB where teenage Goku fought (teenage) Piccolo...
2) Goku fought King piccolo as a kid (not as a teenager or a grown up) and defeated him, if i recall correctly, with the "dragon fist" attack by going right through him... don't you remember? Yet in the cast only grown up Goku is mentioned (played by Justin Chatwin, as said by a poster before me)... well ok, he could play the teenage part, but definitely not kid Goku... complete mess.
3) Although i know the DBZ story a lot better, than the DB one, my knowledge is more than sufficient to tell the difference.

And i have seen some parts of the Chinese (?) version of DB Live action and well... at least it's funny... pathetic, lame, cheap and corny, but still funny (mostly due to their weak attempts of recreating the characters, the lame humor and story that is totally unrelated to the original anime).
