Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins
Directed by Chen Chun-Liang
Produced by My Way Film Company, Filmswell International Ltd.
A chaotic, slapstick-heavy live-action romp through a fantastical world of martial arts and magical adventure, prioritizing absurd humor and kinetic fun over coherence or depth.
An unauthorized live-action adaptation of the Dragon Ball manga, it follows a band of misfit adventurers trying to stop King Horn and his goal to collect all seven Dragon Balls, and his wish of ultimate power.
