    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This is the first Dragon Ball Z movie in which Master Roshi actually fights. However, it would be 25 years later before he would fight again, in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' (2015).
    • Goofs
      The film is set after the battle with the Saiyans, yet Piccolo is alive. He was killed by Nappa. Only further adding to the plot hole is the fact that Gohan's "I Love Mr. Piccolo" scene actually shows Piccolo's death scene.
    • Quotes

      Gohan (AB Groupe dub): All this, you did it! And you had no right! You're evil!

      [Gohan fires a energy wave blast knocking Dr. Kochin to the floor]

      Dr. Kochin (AB Groupe dub): Ah ah ah!

      Dr. Willow (AB Groupe dub): Now that's what I call a real power!

      Gohan (AB Groupe dub): Now you'll answer for all the evil you did to my friend!

      Dr. Kochin (AB Groupe dub): Ha ha ha, little one you're no bigger then my cane. You don't scare us!

      Dr. Willow (AB Groupe dub): No! Stop! Don't make him even more furious!

      Gohan (AB Groupe dub): Yes, I am little but I can send you to Hell!

    • Alternate versions
      The old TV version that was once aired on Cartoon Network (based on the Ocean English dub) was edited for profanity and sexual humor but not for violence.

    A good way to begin a passion.

    This is probably one of the best movies to help a newcomer to the series to get a handle on all that goes on. A BIT better then Dead Zone, but much better then Tree of Might. Though not in continuity of the series, it's still worth the watch. Highly recommended.
