Dragonball Evolution

Factual error: Despite the film building to a climax during a total solar eclipse, which requires a New Moon, the film constantly shows a Full Moon, which never changes phase over the weeks the film takes place.

The Yeti

Factual error: The Dragonball gang falls into Yamcha's trap. The bike nosedives into the hole, with Bulma driving (Muten and Goku should by every mean have been able then to jump to safety, but let's forget about that a moment). Goku and Muten somehow land first, and Bulma comes down last after a couple seconds, screaming. Not really making sense from a physical standpoint. (00:38:05)

Sammo

Factual error: Piccolo evaporates a lake to more comfortably search for a dragonball at the bottom. When he retrieves the ball, he's surrounded by various green-yellowish bushes, which certainly would have not grown at the bottom of a lake. (00:34:30)

Dragonball Evolution mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Bulma and Goku have just finished fighting and begun talking; watch Bulmas' blue streak of hair. It's on the left side of her head throughout the conversation until goku says "you might need back up." The camera shows a close up of them shaking hands, and when it cuts back to Bulma, the blue streak is on the right side of her face. There is no indication of her moving it, and there's not enough wind to blow it to the other side. (00:26:25)

More quotes from Dragonball Evolution

Trivia: James Marsters signed onto the film because his son was a big "Dragonball" anime fan, and because he was told the film would be the start of a massive franchise. When he signed on, it was reported that Stephen Chow would produce and possibly direct, and the movie would have a $120 million budget. After he signed on, another director was brought on board and the budget was slashed all the way down to $30 million.
