DragonBall: Fight For Victory Son Goku! (Deuraegonbol: Ssawora Son Ogong, Igyeora Son Ogong [1]) is a Korean Live Action movie strongly based on the Dragonball franchise.

Goku is a kid, Master Roshi has a turtle and Yamcha has Puar... now this one really LOOKS like Dragon Ball!

It was released on 1990 by (Normally) animation studio Dai Won; and for those who have seen it, it's full of Narm Charm and B-movies charm.

In comparison with the other two Dragonball films, American Dragon Ball Evolution and Chinese Dragon Ball the Magic Begins, this movie is by far the most faithful to Akira Toriyama's story, and the one that received the highest ratings in the Movie Database (5.0, against 3.1 of DBE and 3.8 of DBTMB).

Also, since this movie is impossible to get, you might have to resort to piracy to see it. It can easily found on a Google or YouTube search.

Tropes used in Dragon Ball: Fight for Victory, Son Goku! include:
  • Anime Hair: Just look at the picture!
  • Everything's Better With Plushies: Puar is portrayed as one in the movie (See below)
  • Off the Shelf FX: The Dragon Radar's a customized Game & Watch and Puar's a simple plush toy of the character.
  • People in Rubber Suits - Since there was no way to make an pterodactyl or a bear, they had to use guys in an pterodactyl armor and a bear in armor respectively.
    • This is also true for all the other characters. Which is awesome, since they resemble a lot the characters from the Manga.
  • Pragmatic Adaptation - It's a movie about Dragonball, so a lot of things were left out.
  • Shout Out: In Bulma's capsule house, the very first episode of Dragon Ball is seen on TV.
  1. it literally means "Fight son Goku, Win Son Goku" which is a cheer, so we used a more localized title
