Movie Dumpster

This week in the Video Dungeon we're gathering the Dragon Pearls and summoning Shenlong! Looking for the weirdest Dragon Ball movie ever made? Join us as we dive into the bizarre, action-packed, and hilariously unauthorized world of Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins! This 1989 Taiwanese live-action adaptation takes Akira Toriyama’s beloved characters on a wild ride — with questionable wigs, off-brand names, and a ton of unintentional comedy. This film is a so-bad-it's-good cult classic from Taiwan that retells the Dragon Ball saga with over-the-top martial arts, and unforgettable costumes. Think Goku meets bootleg Power Rangers. Joining us is special guest, Jenna Fryer, all the way from planet Namek!
