What's left behind the scenes

The film is based on the manga «Dragon Ball» by Akira Toriyama (1984-1985).
Initially, it was planned for all the characters to wear wigs of various colors and shapes (similar to those of the characters in the anime of the same name). This idea was rejected, but the hairstyles of Justin Chatwin and Emmy Rossum somewhat correspond to the original source.
James Cayson Lee auditioned for the role of Yamcha.
The role of the main villain, Piccolo, was offered to Ron Perlman, but he chose to participate in the sequel to 'Hellboy' instead.
Film producer Stephen Chow is a big fan of 'Dragonball'. Initially, Chow wanted to direct the film himself, but decided to limit himself to the role of producer.
It took four hours to apply makeup to James Masters to create the image of Piccolo.
Most of the film was shot on a green screen at a studio in Mexico.
Tom Welling was considered for the role of Goku.
Jamie Chung auditioned for the role of Bulma. When she didn't get the part and learned that Emmy Rossum would be playing her, she said that Emmy was perfectly suited for it.
Stephen Chow wanted to give the role of Chi-Chi to Zhang Yuqi, who starred in his film 'Seven', but the studio chose Jamie Chung.
To somewhat compensate for the practical absence of Japanese people on the set and behind the scenes of 'Dragonball', James Wong arranged for the main song for the soundtrack to be recorded by Japanese superstar Ayumi Hamasaki, known in her homeland as the 'Empress of Pop'.
The film is based on the manga "Dragon Ball" (1984-1985) by Akira Toriyama.
