Personally, I feel like Evolution had the right idea in several places, though severely lacked in execution.
The way I'd see it is this:
Movie #1 (Evolution): Basically, it'd combine elements of the Pilaf arc and the Daimao arc, with Kuririn basically filling in for Oolong (except not a sexual predator). You'd meet Goku and Bulma first, then Pilaf and his minions, then Master Roshi and Kuririn, then Yamcha, then Chi-Chi and Gyumao (stylized as Gyumao the Ox-King), and then Piccolo and his minions, who will have been unleashed by Pilaf in his frustration. After Goku is seemingly killed, we meet Yajirobe, who takes him to see Karin, and we get the blahblahblah water; meanwhile, Kuririn and Master Roshi are both killed by Piccolo. The movie would end after Goku defeats Piccolo, and uses the Dragon Balls to bring all of Piccolo's victims back to life. We see, however, Piccolo has not been killed, much like in the actual movie.
Movie #2 (Revolution?): Here we get a more straight-up adaptation of the Saiyan arc. We're first informed of Goku's training with Kami, and Kami's link to both Piccolo and the Dragon Balls in an opening montage. In the first thirty minutes or so, we'd go through the Raditz fight, reintroducing all the characters and revealing Goku's Saiyan heritage as well as Gohan. Goku goes to train with King Kai, Piccolo takes and trains Gohan, etc. When Vegeta and Nappa arrive, they skip over the Saibaimen scene, and go straight to the fighting (mostly since Tenshinhan and Chaozu don't exist). The rest of the movie is mostly the same, though we do get a bigger focus on the characters themselves during their training, especially Gohan (sorta like the mid-Saiyan arc filler from the anime).
Movie #3 (Resolution?): Not quite as straight-up as Movie #2, but much less Frankensteined than the first, we have our Namek movie. With Piccolo (and therefore Kami) dead, the Dragon Balls cannot be used to revive any of the Saiyans' victims. So Kuririn comes up with the idea to go to Namek as usual, they find and use Kami's old spaceship, etc. Basically the same, but minus the Ginyu Force, as I feel they'd throw off the movie's pacing. Instead, we have Goku arrive in his spaceship later than what we're used to, arriving during the Freeza fight (when he's healed in the regular series). So we have no need of the Dragon Balls returning to Freeza's ship, and, instead, Freeza retrieves a new scouter from the ship, and then flies off to see if he can find Zarbon or Vegeta (which leads him to the Grand Elder's place). King Kai's wish would be changed to resurrecting all of the Namekians that Freeza's men killed, leaving Vegeta dead, and the movie would end with Goku still in space and everything else having returned to normal.
Nice little wrap-up, I think. It's probably actually terrible, lol. And yes, the titles are all jokes.
