So, I never really followed up on this post, but because of it I learned of M.U.G.E.N., a video game engine people use to make their own fighting game characters. Then today a friend linked me to a video on niconico of our favorite mascots, Colonel Sanders and Donald McDonald, duking it out. I couldn’t find a copy on YouTube (curses!), so here is the video if you have a niconico account. (Donald wins, if you care but can’t watch.)

In the meantime, I did find THIS video: clearly the Colonel and Donald put aside their differences and unite to fight evil. And by evil, I mean Dragonball Z, Fist of the North Star, Fate/Stay Night, and a few other series.

Ran, ran, ruu, etc.

Okay, I was pretty sure that I would remember a live-action DBZ announcement, especially a Hollywood movie-type live-action DBZ announcement. And I don’t remember that. I thought perhaps I had missed it in the haze of some crack cocaine binge or another. When I looked into it, it turns out that 20th Century Fox acquired the rights and announced them back in ‘02, with production officially coming to a halt in ‘04. So it turns out it wasn’t a crack cocaine binge so much as a college binge. But anyway, now…it’s baaaaaack. (Cue Jaws theme.)

According to the Montreal Gazette, 20th Century Fox is filming the live-action DBZ flick in Montreal sometime in the next year, and it has a budget of over NINE THOUSAND $100 million. It’s expected to wrap production next July.
