@ Chinese DB... LOL!
@ Mr. Satan looka-alike on train for Mr. Satan... Perfect!
@ Goldberg for Nappa... yep, totally.
Live-action could be good, especially if they use plenty of nice outdoor environments and give it a manga-ish tone (kinda like how 300 kinda looked like a dynamic graphic novel at times). I always though the aerial burly brawl in Matrix Revolutions would be how fights would play out in a DBZ movie.

I strongly disagree about making a live-action DBZ movie... it's not worth it IMHO. Japanese manga/anime have such a different drawing style that just isn't comparable with real-life; i'm talking mainly about the characters here but the style is primarily much more about expressions like showing emotions, shading that decides the feel of various environments and/or situations, comical situations, focus etc.
Most western comics that make use of a realistic drawing style however are excellent candidates since they can be matched easily with existing actors and their talents; we could see this in movies like Spider-Man, Batman, 300 or Sin City. Not only is it the realistic drawing style that fits but it's also the setting, which is western for the majority, plus we have the experience to film it to our standards because we live by these standards.
I'm not saying live-action is impossible but a CG animated movie would be the better choice and even better if it's made by the Japanese. It is able to stay true to their standards of what makes an anime/manga and thus avoids dissapointing fans with a "new" look this way.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
