DRAGONBALLZ MOVIE SUMMARIES

Dragon Ball: Shenron no Himitsu:
The Secret of Shenlon, or
Shenron no Densetsu, or
The Legend of Shenlon
This is a retelling of how Goku began his adventures; from the first
encounters with Bulma, Oolong, Puuaru, and Yamcha, up to his learning
Kamehameha just by watching Kamesennin using the technique. This time,
Goku's origins are tied in with the evil Emperor Gurumesu, who wants the
Dragon Balls to wish for delicious food, and the Emperor's minions, Pasta
and Bongo (these two are using the quest for the Dragon Balls to cover the
fact that they are greedily raping the countryside to gather up valuable
Richi Stones.) Bulma still wants to wish for a nice boyfriend (Yamcha
wants the Dragon Balls to wish for a woman he can marry), and ends up
summoning Shenlong before Gurumesu can, but the daughter of the local mayor,
Pansy, shouts out her wish first -- for the countryside to be restored to
its original state prior to the discovery of Richi Stones. Shenlong does
this, and causes the stones to disappear. Gurumesu becomes a normal
deformed human that likes to eat apples, and Goku zips off to find the #4
Ball again.

Characters
Gurumesu -- A gluttonous monster that NEEDS to eat delicious new food.
Becomes a normal person eventually.
Pansy -- A young girl that searches for Kamesennin to ask him to help
her village. Disappears from sight after this movie.
Pasta -- A greedy blond woman that co-heads Gurumesu's army.
Bongo -- A huge, mean man that works closely with Pasta. Both Bongo
and Pasta disappear from sight after this movie.
Richi Stone -- "Rich Stone". The most valuable gem on Earth.

Dragon Ball: Majinjou no Nemuri Hime: (07/18/87)
The Sleeping Princess of Demon Castle
Young Goku seeks out Kamesennin to ask to be accepted as a student,
while the little runt priest, Krillin, arrives for the same reason (and uses
a nude magazine as a bribe.) Kamesennin sends them on a quest far to the
east, where "five mountains stand, called the 'Devil's Hand'." In a castle
there, is the legendary, and pretty, "Sleeping Princess." Whoever brings
back the Sleeping Princess will become the old pervert's student. The two
boys set out, and Krillin uses all the standard tricks to trick Goku.
A little later, Bulma, Oolong, Yamcha, and Puuaru -- who are on summer
vacation -- arrive at Kame House to find Goku. Kamesennin says that the
two boys have gone far to the east for training, so the friends fly in
Bulma's Capsule jet to the Devil's Hand. When they near the castle, the
jet is attacked by demons, and Bulma is taken to the Castle. The owner of
the castle, Lucifer, pretends to treat her as a guest, until it becomes time
to awake the Sleeping Princess. In the meantime, Goku and Krillin are
fighting monsters, and they drop in on Bulma just before Shitsuji can drain
Bulma of her blood through a giant syringe (Buruma's blood is to be used to
toast the awakening of the Sleeping Princess.) Then, Ranchi arrives to
steal the Sleeping Princess -- which is really a giant jewel. Everyone is
captured and encased in a wall of rock.
It is the night of a full moon, and the moonlight is used to power the
jewel. The moonlight also turns Gokuu into a were-ape, and everyone
escapes. They fight Lucifer, and Goku uses Kamehameha to destroy Lucifer's
Princess-powered laser cannon (the full-moon-light is to be used to destroy
the sun, and begin the Reign of Darkness), and kills Lucifer. The heroes
escape, and Krillin acts contrite, but doesn't actually apologize to Goku
for his behavior. The two boys return to Kame House with Kushami, and
Kamesennin takes them both on as students. Then, Kushami sneezes, turns
into Ranchi, and shoots Kamesennin full of holes.

Characters
Lucifer -- A typical handsome demon who likes drinking blood, and killing
people. Killed by Gokuu.
Shitsuji -- Lucifer's Igor-style henchman. Short, buckteeth, and one eye
bigger than the other. Carries a syringe around a lot.
Probably killed by Gokuu.
Sleeping Princess -- A huge, priceless gem that is "awakened" by the light
of the Full Moon, and can be used as a power source for a
laser cannon.

Dragon Ball: Maka Fushigi Daiboken: (07/09/88)
Mysterious "Maka" Adventure
Another retelling of the Dragon Ball story. This time, young Goku and
young Krillin are training for a Budoukai to be held in the country of
Miifan. The Emperor of Miifan, Chau-zu, is trying to find his lost "Ran
Ran." "Duke" Tsuru-sennin stole a Dragon Radar from Pilaf, and is using it
to locate the Dragon Balls. Duke Tsuru-sennin and Tao Pie Pie claim that
they'll use the wish from Shenlong to locate Ran Ran, but are actually
planning, with Tenshinhan's help, to kill Chau-zu and take over the country.
Blue Commander announced that Ran Ran was being held in Tsuru-sennin's room,
and was killed by Tao Pie Pie for it. Bora and Upa have located the final
Dragon Ball and they take it to Miifan to use it to demand that Miifan's
soldiers be forced to leave the land near Karin Tower.
Bora is tricked into entering the Budoukai (the winner of the Budoukai
will be granted one wish by Chau-zu), and is then killed by Tao Pie Pie.
Bulma, Oolong, and Ranchi are looking for the other 6 Balls, so Bulma can
wish for a boyfriend. But, when the balls are located, they're accidently
dropped to the bottom of the moat surrounding Chau-zu's castle. Tenshinhan
realizes that he likes Chau-zu too much, and doesn't kill his friend;
instead, Ten-chan blows away Tsuru-sennin. (The story of Blue and Goku
entering Penguin village is included, but this time it is Tao Pie Pie and
Goku that meet Arale-chan, and Gokuu kills Tao Pie Pie with Arale's help.)
Goku throws the final ball into the moat, and asks Shenlong to resurrect
Bora.

No new characters. Nearly everybody from the first series shows up here.
Ran Ran is the name of Chau-zu's favorite doll.

(Movie 1) (07/15/89)
Dragon Booru Zeto:
Dragon Ball Z

An evil little Namek, Garlic Jr., is gathering all of the Dragon Balls
together to wish for immortality. Since young Gohan has the #4 Ball sewn to
his cap, Gohan is kidnapped by Garlic's minions. This causes Goku to seek
out Garlic (whose mansion is located on a black island to the south of Kame
House). Garlic also wants to get rid of Kami-sama, so his minions attempt to
kill Piccolo (if Piccolo dies, Kami-sama also dies, and vice versa.) So
Kami-sama and Piccolo join in the battle, as does Krillin. The minions are
wasted, but Garlic Jr. already made his wish, so he is unkillable. Garlic
and Kami-sama fight it out, and Garlic wins (he wants to get rid of
Kami-sama to make way for his own "reign of blood", but he doesn't kill
Kami-sama right away).
Garlic Jr. gets beaten up a bit by Goku and Piccolo, so he decides to
create a "Dead Zone" (a black hole) which threatens to suck everyone in and
kill them. But Gohan (who had eaten a hallucinagenic apple, and is still
feeling a bit of a buzz) gets angry, and blasts Garlic into the Dead Zone.
The Dead Zone closes, sticking Garlic into a form of eternal hell.

Characters
Garlic, Jr. -- Evil little immortal Namek, lost and forgotten.
Ginger -- Garlic's green-skinned, red-eyed demon minion. Killed by Goku.
Nikki -- Garlic's blue-skinned, apple-eating minion. Killed by Goku.
Sansho -- Garlic's big, purple-skinned demon minion. Killed by Piccolo.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Movie 2) (03/10/90)
Kono yo de Ichiban Tsuyoi Yatsu:
The World's Strongest

Oolong steals Bulma's Dragon Radar, and discovers that someone is
gathering up the Dragon Balls. He and Gohan go into the northern glaciers
in time to see Dr. Kouchin summoning Shenlong and wishing for Dr. Wheel's lab
to be released from the ice. Piccolo arrives to save Gohan from Kouchin's
bio-men, but the demon is overcome by Wheel's 3 androids (Gohan and Oolong
escape). Later, Kouchin goes to Kame House, and kidnaps Buruma in order to
force Kamesennin to go with him to the lab. Kamesennin is told to fight the
three androids, and does well for a while, before being defeated by rubbery
Minkattsun. Bulma learns that Kouchin and Wheel's plan on turning the Earth
into a desert and peopling it with androids. Dr. Wheel's brain is encased
inside a robot, and he wants the body of the world's strongest man to house
his brain. But, while Kamesennin was the winner of the Tenkaichi Budoukai
50 years ago, (when Wheel's lab was iced over) the strongest man is now Goku.
Goku learns what happened to Kamesennin, and goes to the lab, where he
destroys all three androids. Gohan and Kuririn also arrive, and end up
battling the brain-controlled Piccolo until Gohan's shout of frustration
causes the mind-control bands to shatter. Dr.Wheel decides to fight Goku,
and as he pulls his robot body free of the wall. The resulting destruction
hurls Kouchin down an energy shaft, and Kouchin's outer coating melts before
his own robot body is destroyed. Wheel fights the heroes, and looks like
he'll win, when Goku creates a Genki Dama and throws it at Wheel. Wheel
flies up into space to get a breather, and he is destroyed up there.
Afterwards, Kamesennin says that Wheel got one thing right -- Kamesennin
is the world's strongest guy. Bulma corrects that to "the world's dirtiest
old man."

Characters
Dr. Kouchin -- The Christopher Lee of bio-tech scientists. A robot, he is
accidently destroyed by Dr. Wheel.
Dr. Wheel -- A large brain housed in a robot. Was a deranged scientist
until his lab was entombed in ice. Killed by Goku.
Kishiime -- Electrical android iguanaman. Destroyed by Goku.
Ebifuraiya -- "Fried shrimp." Hulking android with weather-control
abilities. Destroyed by Goku.
Minkattsun -- Blobby, yellow rubberman android. Punctured by Goku.

(Movie 3) (07/07/90)
Chikuu Marugoto Chou-kessen:
Earth's Ultimate Deciding Battle
(The Tree of Might)

Oolong, Krillin, Bulma, and young Gohan are on a camping trip, when a
spy satellite crashes into the forest and starts a raging fire. Kuririn and
Gohan battle to put out the blaze, then gather the Dragon Balls to wish for
the forest to be restored. One of the animals they save is a Haiyaa Dragon
(Higher Dragon) that follows Gohan home to become his pet. The two of
them (and Goku) play together and have a lot of fun, but Chi Chi wants the
dragon sent back to its mountain so it'll stop disrupting Gohan's studies.
Meanwhile, a Saiyan fighter, Taurus, and his minions are scouting
Earth to locate Kakarot. Taurus wants Kakarot and/or Gohan to join him to
go trash planets. The minions plant a seed for an energy-eating tree near
the restored forest -- Taurus plans on eating the fruit of the tree to get a
"power up." The tree grows quickly and threatens to destroy Earth.
Kaiou-sama alerts Goku to the danger, and everyone (Chi Chi prevents Gohan
from joining in, but Haiyaa Dragon kidnaps the boy to take him to the battle)
goes to fight Taurus. Piccolo joins in to save Gohan, but the demon still
plans on killing Goku later on. Goku denies his Saiyan heritage,
claiming that he's happy to have been hit on the head as a child, rather
than growing up to be like Taurus. There's a major battle, and Goku uses a
Genki Dama to kill Taurus and destroy the tree. Afterwards, the Genki Dama
breaks up, and the lifeforce energy repairs the damage from the tree.

Characters
Shinseiju -- The energy-eating tree.

(Movie 4) (03/19/91)
Super Saiyan da Son Goku:
This is the Super Saiyn, Son Goku.
Young Gohan and the Haiyaa Dragon visit Piccolo to show the demon the new
dance that Gohan taught the dragon. But, Piccolo, in pain, yells for Gohan
to stop.
A planetoid headed towards Earth causes a panic, and Krillin and Goku go
out to try to deflect the thing with their energy blasts. It still crashes
into Earth, but it turns out to be a spaceship that needs to land for
refueling. The ship is commanded by the imperious Emperor of the Universe
-- Slag, who demands that they leave in 3 days. A weather satellite is
launched to cause a cloud to cover the planet, and freeze it over. Earth is
now more hospitable for the soldiers living in the ship, and they step
outside to terrorize the Earthlings. Slag recognizes the Dragon Ball that
is sewn into Gohan's cap, and reads Bulma's mind to learn about the Dragon
Radar. The Dragon Balls are rounded up, and Slag wishes for his youth back.
Goku and Krillin receive Senzu Beans from Yajarobe, and they go to
fight Slag. Piccolo shows up to save Gohan. Slag reveals himself to be a
Super Namek. Goku wastes Slag's minions, and even turns into a Super
Saiyan for a while, but is trashed by Slag when the Super Namek turns
into a giant. Piccolo tears off his own ears, then yells for Gohan to
whistle again; we now learn that Nameks get hurt really bad when Earthlings
whistle. Slag drops to his knees, and Piccolo imparts his energy to Goku.
The Goku/Piccolo fusion beats up Slag, then Goku flies above the black
cloud to get enough energy to create a Genki Dama that kills Slag. (Slag
accidently trashed his own spaceship, so there's no bad guys left now.) The
cloud dissipates, and Yajarobe reappears to give Senzu Beans to the heroes.
Piccolo's ears grow back. Finally, Kamesennin, who'd been sleeping through
all this, wakes up from his dreams of naked women, and exercises while
saying that the weather is very nice today.

refuel the ship.
