DBZ Movie #11 - Crushing Super-Warrior!! I am the Winner  Our Rating: 2.5 of 7 - Gives #4 a run for its money in overall crapiness. Released in: Japan Japanese Release Date: 7/3/1994 Producer: Toei Synopsis: The movie opens with the emergence of several mutant creatures from their holding tanks, which Jaga plans to use to gain his revenge on Mr. Satan. Elsewhere, the enraged Android 18 trashes Mr. SatanÕs mansion in an effort to collect the 20 million zeni he promised the Artificial Human for throwing the Tenkaichi Budoukai to him. As their bickering ensues, a strange man enters Mr. SatanÕs house with a challenge from Jaga Badda, one of Mr. SatanÕs childhood rivals. Mr. Satan agrees to accompany the man back to JagaÕs castle, and Android 18 Ñ wanting to collect her money Ñ tags along (Goten and Trunks invite themselves and hide out in the trunk of the car). Making his grand entrance to face JagaÕs challenge, Mr. Satan ever so gracefully slips on a banana peal and falls flat on his ass. With blinding speed, JagaÕs mutant creations surround the cowering world champion (some hero, eh?) Satan ÒinvitesÓ Android 18 (his ÒstudentÓ) to take on the mutants. Not wanting to miss out on the action, Goten and Trunks join fight and the three super-warriors quickly extinguish all the mutants at hand. Jaga, angered by yet another defeat at the hands of Mr. Satan, reveals his laboratory full of bio-warriors. As Trunks and Goten investigate, they run across a very familiar specimenÉ Brolli! Not wasting any more time, Jaga orders the release of his super-warrior. [Note: Though heÕs been killed twice before, Brolli is revived once again via a drop of frozen blood collected from the scene of his last demise. Some plot, eh?] However, due to a fluid overflow during his release, Brolli is now covered in genetic-altering goop. Android 18 releases a flurry of attack on the monster, only to be taken down with one swift blow. Trunks then saves Mr. Satan from BrolliÕs attacks, but in doing so causes the release of several thousand gallons of genetic-altering goop. The two Saiya-jins power up, and begin their battle with the legendary Super Saiya-jinÕs third incarnation. The battle ensues, the Saiya-jins become distracted, and Android 18 intervenes, only to be knocked away. Kuririn arrives just in time to save his wife, and the battle continues. The two Saiya-jins are once again distracted by cries for help from Mr. Satan, and are soon in danger of being killed themselves. Kuririn saves Goten, whose head is about to be crushed by Brolli, with a Kienzan, and Trunks draws Brolli away with his patented full-moon-ass-slapping-bird-flipping technique (^_-). Up against a wall, Trunks is saved once again as an entire container of genetic-altering goop empties itself right on top of Brolli. With Brolli out of the way, Trunks, Goten, and Kuririn turn to the task of evacuating JagaÕs island castle. A tidal wave of goop is now engulfing the island, and all efforts on the part of the three Z-Warriors to stop it fail. However, when the goop finally contacts the seawater, the warriors realize itÕs the key to stopping the goop. In what is probably the best scene in the whole movie, the three warriors fire a triple-Kamehameha into the ocean, causing a tidal wave to cleanse the island of the goop. In a final attempt to have his revenge, a much larger Brolli emerges to the ocean, turns to stone, and is blasted to peaces by Trunks and Goten. Finally, back on Kaio-samaÕs planetoid, Goku comments on BrolliÕs never-ending persistence and proceeds to stuff his face. Nani!? ItÕs over!!! Our Thoughts: I nearly gagged when watching this movie the second time for the purposes of this review. Luckily, I remembered most of the (paper-thin) plot, and was able to fast-forward through damn near the whole thing. Despite all the low points, which encompass nearly the entire movie, this movie does have its moments. For instance, the scene where Trunks pulls off his gi, slaps his ass, and gives Brolly a full moon isÉ well, one of the only humorous scenes. Aw heck, who am I kidding? This movie is just more recycled Brolly garbage. End of story. DBZ Movie #12 - The Rebirth of Fusion! Goku and Vegita!  Our Rating: 6 of 7 - Features one of the best villains in the series, really amusing at times. Released in: Japan Japanese Release Date: 3/4/1995 Producer: Toei Synopsis: The trouble starts when a careless teenage...heaven dweller, we'll call him, neglects to change the tanks of the "soul laundry machine", which cleans souls that are going to hell. When the tanks explode, the heaven dwelling kid becomes possessed and turns into Janenba, a huge blob-like creature. Janemba changes the laws of the afterworld and creates much havoc, including bringing such characters back to life as Furiza and his minions and all of the other dead. Pikehan and Goku try to free the Demon lord (who has been imprisoned in a bubble of sorts) and distract Janemba, it becomes evident that this tubby bastard's magic is almost invincible. While Pikehan shouts insults at the Demon lord's prison, Goku strikes back against the Jell-o menace. It looks as though Goku has won, when Janenba transforms into a smaller, deadlier fighter, whom Goku cannot defeat. When Vegita shows up, he too realizes that he cannot beat Janenba, so Goku convinces Vegita to fuse with him (after much petulance and whining). Unfortunately, Vegita screws up the fusion dance, which is amusing in and of itself, and they turn into fat Gogita for 30 minutes. During this moment of weakness, Gogita gets the living snot beaten out of him. Meanwhile, Gohan, Videl, Goten, and Trunks are taking care of the masses of undead that now walk the Earth (Including Hitler and his army of tanks!). They prove to be no match for our seasoned warriors. When the Fat Gogita transformation wears off, Pikehan buys Goku and Vegita the time to fuse correctly. In this new form of Gogita, Janemba is easily defeated and the rules of the afterworld return to normal and the generic happy ending ensues. Our Thoughts: This movie is probably the most amusing from DBZ. But as with most of the movies, it really is too short to develop a good plot. The fight scenes are some of the best in the series (Janemba's sword is damn cool). The scenes with Trunks and Goten fighting the undead are quite humorous, especially when Hitler attempts to conquer the world again. DBZ Movie #13 - Dragon Fist Explosion!! If Goku Can't, Who Can?  Our Rating: 5.5 of 7 - Wonderful animation, decent overall. Released in: Japan Japanese Release Date: 7/15/1995 Producer: Toei Synopsis: As the movie begins, we are presented with a flashback. In it, a young boy with elf like ears and a sword (think Link with an orange Mohawk) is fighting a gigantic monster. Despite his masterful sword handling skills however, the boy is defeated. Time jumps forward to a point somewhere around the 25th Budoukai. As Gohan and Videl sit in class, Gohan receives a message on his wristwatch informing him that his assistance is needed in order to save an old man who is contemplating suicide. After saving the old man, Gohan learns that the old man only attempted to jump off a building in order to get his attention. The old man produces a golden music box, which he tells them contains a legendary warrior who has been trapped for ages. After several attempts to open the box using Goku's shear strength and Bulma's technological expertise, the warriors collect the Dragonballs and summon Shenlon to release Tapion, the warrior who is trapped inside the box. The box shatters at Tapion is released, and Trunks and Goten marvel over the legendary warrior. After inquiring as to his surroundings, Tapion informs them that he must be returned to the box at once, or the Earth will surely be destroyed. Tapion walks off as the Z Warriors contemplate the events that just took place. The following day Hildegarn, a large monster, is reeking havoc on the city. Gohan tries unsuccessfully to defeat the monster with several very large Ki blasts. However, the monster does not subside until Tapion arrives, and plays a tune on his flute, which causes the monster to disappear in a puff of smoke. The following day, Bulma attempts to build a device that will contain the monster and Tapion as well as the music box did. Unfortunately, as Tapion sleeps inside the device that night, the monster escapes from within him, and reeks havoc on the city once again. After a long and drawn out battle with Hildegarn, Goku decides to use a technique that he has never used before. He goes SSJ3, powers up, leaps into the air, extends his fist, and shouts "Ryu Ken". Hildegarn explodes in a flash of light. After the battle, Tapion presents Trunks with his sword, saying he won't need it anymore, and flies off. Neither the monster, nor Tapion are ever heard from again. Our Thoughts: Movie 13 is probably one of the better features in the DBZ series. Only the second in the series to use computer-generated graphics, the visuals are striking. The camera's pans and zooms are superb, and even the non-computer-generated animation is commendable. The sound track, while not the best, is one of the better, featuring a wide range of high quality original and true-to-the-original music. As always, the voice acting is outstanding, far surpassing the meager limits of FUNimaton's dubs. The story is intriguing, and even attempts to explain a few things that transpire during the series (most notably, how Trunks acquired his sword). The movie runs a bit longer than most other Dragonball Z films, albeit not nearly as long as movie 8, and achieves a nearly perfect length in doing so. Overall this movie is quite enjoyable, and is a must-have addition to any Dragonball Z otaku collection. |
