Dragonball is the live-action version of the highly-popular Japanese comic turned animated series turned video game.

A young humanoid boy named Goku discovers he was sent to planet Earth to conquer the planet and annihilate the human race. He however chooses to save the planet from an oncoming alien invasion. Upon his grandfather's dying request to find the great Master Roshi and gather the seven dragon balls, he sets out on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

I'll be anticipating the release of the live action version, although I think this would not be a very big hit in the box office. Also, the funny thing is that American actors are playing the role of the lead characters (Goku, Bulma, Piccolo).
