Dragonball Evolution/Headscratchers


 * Let's face it, the original Dragon Ball manga and anime would be just too damn weird to make into an American film. So they went with a Pragmatic Adaptation...
 * Though that's something like Fridge Logic since the Dragonball anime has been shown in the US for quite some time. While one could say that it might be too goofy for the mainstream (though there are goofy movies like The Neverending Story or Beetlejuice that made it to the mainstream), the only reason one would make a DB movie (as opposed to some other non-branded martial arts flick) would be to cash in on the name recognition.
 * Piccolo is shown crushing a house with his mind. Later, when a Dragon Ball rolls out of his grasp, why doesn't he mind-grab it? Forgot About His Powers, much?
 * It also doesn't make any sense as to why he dropped a house on Gohan instead of questioning him about the Dragon Ball.
 * Well, maybe he figured Gohan wouldn't have told him anything.
