    Awesome Dragonball Z movie, Turles Is an awesome villian, has a good plot even though it is short it could have been longer.

    I saw this at the theaters and was blown away when I was 4. Now I look at it, and is one of the worst DBZ films in the series, but still I'm entertained and all of your favorite characters can be found here, although they're supposed to be dead! Consequently, it is one of the DBZ...( read more) films that don't fit into the storyline.

    57/100

    Excellent for those DBZ fans and those just getting into it, or any other anime of the shounen/action genre of anime.

    It's very good but they needed go into Turles' backstory more. Why does he look like Goku? Great action and I'm glad the movie used the entire Z team.

    The continuity of Dragonball Z versus this film is off by miles!
    The one thing that's for sure is this happens right after the arrival and defeat of all three Saiyans, since King Kai's helping out, Son Goku is alive, he mentions his son Gohan becoming a giant ape before, and he'...( read more)s familiar with the artificial moon trick Turles does...

    However, the entire supporting cast of fighters are around as well including Piccolo, who were all dead by the end of the Saiyan Saga and only alive prior when Goku was dead, so it should be impossible since this takes place before the Namek trip and Goku couldn't become Super Saiyan.

    (SHIT! I said too much already)
