The movie has incredible action scenes with characters with unbelievable powers.

When I got the role I had doubts. The more I live with it I realize that I am going to rock this harder than I have anything in my life – I’m hungry for it.James Masters (personal website) says a little bit more about being a part of the role in the film.James Master’s say-ho, Dragon ball is the coolest television cartoon in the last 50, 000 years. It’s got a Shakespearean sense of good and evil.
