DragonBall Z Abridged

[dario03]

I'm probably being a bit nitpicky here but Garlic Jr's arm and hand covering up so much of the screen was pretty annoying.

I'll take a guess:

5. Dead Zone
4. Bardock: Father of Goku
3. History of Trunks
2. The World's Strongest
1. Battle of Gods (this better fucking be no. 1 )

I'm a monkey's uncle if I'm wrong.

I'm thinking it will be 1 or 2 with History of Trunks in the other spot. Though then again I guess I could see World's Strongest being 2, but I can't see it being 1 for some reason.

[Doctor.]

5. Dead Zone
4. World's Strongest
3. Battle of Gods
2. Bardock
1. Trunks

That's what I'm going with.

[FoolsGil]

Yep. 5 is up, it's Dead Zone.

[coola]

4. World's Strongest
3. Trunks
2. Bardock
1. Battle of Gods
My prediction

10. The Path to Power
9. Wrath of the Dragon
8. Bojack Unbound
7. Resurrection 'F'
6. Fusion Reborn
5. Dead Zone
4. The World's Strongest
3. Battle of Gods
2. History of Trunks
1. Bardock Father of Goku

I agree with them on Dead Zone. Garlic Jr is a pretty good villain and he is better then what most people give him credit for. People dislike him because his saga sucks. DBZ Movie 1 is still pretty good though.

[MajinMan]

I've never really liked Dead Zone that much. I always thought that it was boring. I have a feeling the Trunks Special is going to be #1.

[Lord Beerus]

I still think The World's Strongest is gonna top the list. I want Battle Of Gods to be No.1 but I have a strong feeling it won't be.

[Gyt Kaliba]

I'd agree that a lot of the flack Garlic Jr. tends to get is from his saga more so than this film - well, that, and the Pilaf parallels (which hilariously enough end up not being just visual, but audio related, in both English and Japanese no less!). That said though, I'm not really that crazy about the character himself, or even his minions (though the ones in this movie are pretty fun, and definitely more memorable than most other movie minions). What I am crazy about though is the fighting in this movie. It fits right into that end-of-DB/very-beginning-of-DBZ style, where things are still very much hand-to-hand combat focused, but there's also the change of a massive blast coming out to play too. I love that, and the very specific period I'm thinking of lasts way too shortly in the series proper, so it's great to get a couple of movies that have that same style to them as well.

[Hellspawn28]

I do agree with TFS with ROF having solid animation. I do think it has the best looking modern Dragon Ball animation in my opinion.The CG was shit, but I don't think anyone was expecting Pixar level of CG in this movie. I rarely see good CG from Japan expect for Appleseed, Advent Children and the CG in the live action movie of Space Battleship Yamato.

I'm just waiting to see their explanation as to why they love World's Strongest so much. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but I never thought it was THE best of the 13 movies.

Apart from a vanilla villain, this movie succeeds on almost every level.

Characters are all used greatly (except MAYBE Kuririn and ChiChi).
Villains have interesting powers that revolve more around strategy and powers than brute force.
Goku overcomes these enemies and other obstacles in different and creative ways .
Some funny moments.
Great Music.
Genki Dama scene is great. Full of tension but with a soothing hope that I don't think was ever recaptured until the Boo Arc.
AMAZING atmosphere. Dr. Wheelo's Lab is such a unique locale. It's Toriyama meets H.R. Geiger.
Fun fight choreography.
Great animation.
The villains plan is both creative and pretty cool.
Much more stuff really.

I could literally gush about this movie for hours.


Aside from BoG, Worlds Strongest Guy is my favorite movie (although I still think the Bardock Special is better than Movie 2).

[FoolsGil]

And Cane Laser*. Don't forget about Kochin's Cane Laser**.

**Like my most favorite one liner in the entire movie. Thanks Lani

This is interesting. Movie 2 is their favorite, but yet they have not gone back and abridged it. We'll see if that changes.

2 million subscriber special.

I'll take a guess:

5. Dead Zone
4. Bardock: Father of Goku
3. History of Trunks
2. The World's Strongest
1. Battle of Gods (this better fucking be no. 1 )

Welp, I guess I'm a monkey's uncle . They placed History of Trunks at no. 4 to which I disagree with. I thought it was a much better special than Bardock: Father of Goku. It packs an emotional punch and it has a very different tone compared to the rest of the series which is a breath of fresh air. I'm not a big fan of Bardock which is probably why I'm not that big of a fan of his special.

[coola]

Trunks is numer 4, and they already said, next one is Bardock, so ther goes my prediction So, it is battle between BoG and World Strongest for 1st and 2nd place

[FoolsGil]

So it all comes down this:

1) Battle of Gods
2) Bardock, Father of Goku
3) World's Strongest

EDIT-...unless they like World Strongest a lot because that last shot at the end was eerily familiar.

[Kuririn Fan]

Holy shit, The Worlds Strongest is no 1 !!!!

[FoolsGil]

Holy shit, The Worlds Strongest is no 1 !!!!

No. No. It's not true. It's Impossible!
