Join our panel of Tubi analyzers as we look at 1991's Taiwanese/Vietnamese fanfic (blatant bootleg) Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins. You will notice the striking similarities between Dragon Ball's Curse of the Blood Rubies and this movie.
Join Monkey Boy, Too Many Teeth Grandpa, Pretty Girl 1, Pretty Girl 2, FBI List Pig, FBI List Turtle, and Crippling Social Anxiety Desperado as they venture out to find the 7 Dragon Pearls (see what they did there) before they can get snatched up by Blue Fish Man, Terminator, and Blonde Xena.
Enjoy the strangely okay (for 1991) CGI, which includes a 3D art style that would make Sega Saturn graphics feel at home. Marvel over the realistic mushroom cloud explosions this movie had in spades and the Vietnam-era machine gun rifle battles so prominent in Akira Toriyama's series.
Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins will have you saying, "Hey, at least it's not that live-action stinker in 2006."
