RULE During "Dragonball" in Theaters (USA)

[SheFliesHigher]

I wasn't exactly sure where to post this thread, but since I wanted to tell people about how much exposure the song "Rule" gets in the Dragonball: Evolution movie, I decided to stick it here.

A piece of the instrumentation is played very near the beginning of the movie, when Goku is riding to school. When the movie ends, some credits burst onto the screen in explosions of fire featuring the most "important" roles, then a bonus scene plays, and then the full credits roll...it is at this point that an abridged version of "Rule" with vocals is played.

The chances of Ayu getting any kind of exposure from this film in the US are so slim. I saw the movie tonight, ON OPENING NIGHT, and the audience consisted of me, my boyfriend, a guy by himself, and a family of four. THAT WAS IT! And every single one of them left the theater before the ending credits, so nobody else heard Ayu sing (it was pretty cool to hear her in a theater, though.)

As for the movie, it was terrible, although I'm sure that surprises no one. I was a big DBZ fan back in the day, but I didn't care about any of the characters, and the story was total nonsense. There are some movies that are "so bad they're good", meaning they make you laugh or whatever, but this one was just boring and stupid. NOT worth $10!

They cut out on one of the verses, if I remember correctly. Basically, it's like the version she would sing on a music show.

[mikecavs11]

i just got back from the movie too....not that many people...maximum like 12?? I didnt stay for the rest of the credits cuz i thought rule wasnt gonna play cuz it didnt start playing when the credits started to roll like the japanese version. but yea horrible movie..jumped around way too much. the scenes dont go together at all.

[hpg23]

it is bad bad bad bad

bad

I mean real bad

One of the worst movies I´ve seen xDD

And Rule was abridged, but it still was cool to hear it... I waited until Ayu´s name appears on screen to leave, and she is like, at the end of the credits xD

[WillofDusk]

It was a horrible movie but my best friend and I made every single moment of the movie sexual, including the advertisements before the movie even started.

Not many were in the cinema, tho all of them survived to the last moment.


I was like OMG my fav singer sings that song.

[hpg23]

^Oh yeah, it has a lot of sexual undertones!! Did you notice the wonderful method of learning provided by Chi-Chi?!! "Everytime you do it right, you can get a bit closer" xDDDD

[panda♥]

yeah at this rate i doubt Ayu will get much promotion from this.

1. they don't play the song enough in the movie for anyone to care about it.
2. i doubt many people are going to see this movie anyway!

I saw DBE in The Netherlands yesterday; and yes Rule was played.. 3 times actually.. 1 time instrumental part during the film's start; then a short instrumental (the first few beats) of Rule during the movie, but with different instruments; and the song with vocals at the credits. I taped the last one just for fun =)

Oh; and the movie. It's a nice movie for kids; but it's really not that good. But that's okay; at least the effects are nice

[jbrat2219]

I've heard mixed things about the movie... I'm sad to hear no one stayed long enough to hear Ayu's song ;_;

[PinkShinigami]

To bad the film hasn't even come to Denmark >.<

[Kazeyomi]

I saw it today. It was horrible, lol.
A really bad d-movie >_>'

I heard Rule on the end credits, I was really disappointed ;_; I expected the full song (I jumped when I heard it on the beginning of the movie ) but was short.. and omg some kids joked about her vibrato lol

Am I the one who heard Rule.. a bit different from the original? Her voice sounds.. :/ meh.

[koumori]

At the risk of becoming a complete DragonBall Z Evolution basher, the main character's hair was disgraceful. A good attempt at anime hair, but it looks ridiculous in real life XD

I heard the chorus of RULE in the cinema during an advert for it, but not much of it was played in U.K cinemas either in the showing of the actual film. ToT Sucks for Ayu fans! >o<

[aura~]

In Spain a friend said me it wa splayed a bit at the begining and then it starts again in the last seconds of movie, the song keep sounding until the end of the first chorus while the credits. The lighs are still closed and nobody moves, then there's an extra scene and wht it finish the credit continue without Rule, and everybody goes out...

So, at least in my friend's cinema everybodu had to listen to Ayu XD

I'm going tomorrow and I hope it will be the same as my friend...
