The events of the movie are based on everything that happened in Dragonball so anybody complaining about why they can't fly or why Gohan is a old guy or comparing this movie to Dragonball Z makes you seem stupid and shows that you don't even watch Dragonball. Yeah its not a good Dragonball movie either

Yeah, right, Goku was an emo guy who went to High School. Sure, he was the one who told Bulma about the Dragon Balls, rights... and he had a crush on Chichi, I have forgot about that too.

This. Also Dragonball was an action/adventure/fantasy/comedy, this is just cheap/emo/sad.

"The events of the movie are based on everything that happened in Dragonball "

Don't bother answer 'cuz I don't care what a liar says.

The irony of this is so rich. Dragonball Evolution didn't even have much to do with Dragon Ball and anyone who actually is a Dragon Ball fan would know that. You just proved that you are the on that hasn't actually even seen Dragon Ball.

The movie is next to nothing like the anime. I'd say they were intending to adapt the Pilaf Saga, but decided to include the more popular King Piccolo instead. After that they completely revamped the script. Had there been a sequel I think they would have gone straight into adapting the Saiyan Saga in some way.

If this was the case, Goku and Chi Chi would be kids and not teenagers. I don't think Goku actually ever went to an actual school. Isn't Piccolo a Dragonball Z villain/? When could the Kamihamiha be used to heal in Dragon Ball?

They were teenagers during the show's 9th Saga.

I don't think Goku actually ever went to an actual school.

No. His son Gohan did in DRAGON BALL Z.

Isn't Piccolo a Dragonball Z villain/?

The "demon" King Piccolo Daimao was introduced in the original anime's eighth Saga. He was probably the highlight villain of the series. We would later learn he was essentially the evil half of Earth Guardian Kami. During their epic battle, Goku shot through Piccolo like a bullet, and Piccolo vomited up an egg before he died. That offspring would be his son/reincarnation Piccolo Jr., who was an adversary in the ninth Saga. He wanted revenge against Goku, but that would eventually die down come DRAGON BALL Z when so many greater threats would pop up. I think it was also Z that retconned it so Kami/Piccolo were aliens, not demons. I suspect the live-action movie wanted to merge the two Piccolos, and had the films continued he probably would have become an anti-hero.

When could the Kamihamiha be used to heal in Dragon Ball?

Never. It's a destructive force.
