Has potential in the hands of the right director and writer. Please just don't give us a "Street Fighter" type debacle! Hope it's better than the "Mortal Kombat" film; the first was pretty decent. Not enough fighting, but what there was of it was good. Second movie sucked. Guilty pleasure: I watched every ep of the "Mortal Kombat" TV series. I've watched all the adult Goku DBZ cartoons as well. They're funny: have that Speed Racer vibe where the actors groan and sigh and sweat drops literally form on their foreheads like every other scene. They're powers are off the chain. DBZ isn't all that respectful of women though: Goku's first master always has girlie mags aground (and that's in the sanitized US broadcasts) and Goku is basically never at home with his wife.
