- Saving the universe can be a tiring business! So after their big battle with Frieza on Namek, Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and Oolong decide to take a little camping trip for some rest and relaxation back on Earth. But their peaceful weekend is soon interrupted by a menacing force. Frieza has a brother: Cooler! And with his powerful Armored Squadron, he has come to Earth seeking revenge. Cooler will n
After defeating Frieza on Namek, Goku returns to a peaceful life on Earth with his family and friends. But the heroic Saiyan’s world is turned upside down when a routine camping trip turns into a desperate struggle for life! Who is this assailant that has appeared out of the shadows to ambush Goku and his friends? None other than Cooler, Frieza’s brother, who has come to settle the score!Originally released in 1991, the fifth Dragon Ball Z feature (a.k.a. Tobikkiri no Saikyou tai Saikyou–”Fantastic Ultimate Strength vs. Ultimate Strength”) involves the characters from the TV episodes, but in an unrelated continuity. Goku and Gohan set off on a camping trip with Krillin and Oolong, but their outing turns into a battle royal when they’re attacked by the minions of Cooler, Frieza’s older brother. Piccolo appears as a Nameck ex machina to aid Gohan, but the centerpiece of the film is the battle between Goku in his Super-Saiyan form and Cooler, who looks like a purple iguana in a football uniform. The various Dragon Ball properties balance slapstick and fantastic action; Cooler’s Revenge offers lots of action, and a rock soundtrack, but little comedy. Unrated: Suitable for ages 8 and up; contains cartoon violence. –Charles Solomon

DBZ, GAG! don’t waste your money on anything with the title Dragon Ball Z. Go spend your money on a decent series like Trigun or Cowboy Bebop. I only gave it one star because it didn’t have a zero stars option.

This is an O.K DBZ movie. It actually has good music for once which make the the fights all more dramatic. It starts out when Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Oolong and Icarus go on a camping trip. Suddenly, without warning, 3 bad guys, Sauzer, Doray and Neize appear and easily defeat Krillin and Gohan. Goku appears and manages to fend off the fearsome threesome. When their boss, Cooler appears, things really get interesting…. Goku gets hit by twin eye beams and is badly injured…. Gohan goes to Korin Tower and gets a bag of Senzu beans for Goku, but just as Goku is about to have one, Sauzer appears and destroys the bag of beans! Meanwhile, Piccolo appears and was able to kill Doray and Neize, but Sauzer escaped. Krillin fends off Sauzer, and Gohan remembers that Yajirobe gave him and extra bean! Piccolo, after killing 2 of the trio, is nearly killed by Cooler when he appears and blasts Piccolo with an energy beam. Gohan feeds the final bean to Goku, and Goku fights Cooler. The two seem evenly matched, but when Cooler transforms, Goku doesn’t have a prayer! After Cooler kills an innocent bird, Goku’s anger swells up and he becomes a Super Saiyan, his energy also revives the bird, and Goku smashes Cooler into submission! But Cooler’s able to gain energy to create a Supernova! Goku, with great difficulty, manages to bounce back the Supernova wich drives into Cooler, pusing him back towards the sun, thus killing him. Just as everybody reunites, Sauzer appears! But suddenly, a beam comes put of nowhere and kills him, and then the movie’s over. This is an O.K, movie, but only DBZ fans can actually enjoy it.

I had already seen this movie on a fan subbed computer file, so I knew the actual movie was good. What I didn’t expect was what an atrocious job Funimation did at transposing the original Japanese version to DVD. To start off, there is NO sound coming from the Japanese audio track for the first four minutes (the set up part before the movie starts) or for the outro/credits. Secondly, the Japanese language is not even close to being directly translated. Instead they seemed to have just made up their own dialog altogether. There are several instances where there is no actual talking on screen, yet the subs pop up with this inane “westernized” dialog. I’m guessing that instead of actually translating the Japanese, the subtitler just typed word for word the english dialog track. If you are somebody who likes the english dubbed version then you might as well save yourself a few bucks and get the edited english dubbed only version. If you are a fan of the original Japanese series and not the homogenized/westernized version shown on the Cartoon Network, I would urge you to find the fan sub of this movie.
