Dragon Ball: Evolution
Starting at the bottom of the barrel, we couldn’t consider this list complete without mentioning Geeko and his mystical misadventures in the 2009 live action film Dragon Ball: Evolution. In it, Goku, Bulma, and Master Roshi, played by Justin Chatwin, Emmy Rossum, and Chow Yun-Fat respectively, hunt down the dragon balls in hopes of defeating the demon king Piccolo. Sadly, the movie’s lasting legacy isn’t that it was a great Hollywood adaptation of a beloved series, but as exhibit A of fan discontent whenever the words “live action” are uttered in the same sentence as their favorite anime. At least James Marsters had a lot of fun playing Piccolo.
