So you have to buy the fourth movie separate?
If you want the original four DragonBall movies you have to buy the movies 2, 3, and 4 boxset. The First Strike boxset is first three
Z movies. If you want the Z movies I'd advise buying the Double Features or wait for possible Dragon Box versions.
Wow I just kopped on to what you mean. Lol, I was wondering why it said ''DBZ'' on Amazon.
Looks like I shall get movies 2-4 then! So can you buy movie one separately?
Thanks for the useful info, Greenman!

No problem. Glad I could be helpful.
FUNimation's DB release history can be kinda confusing.

I've been thinking about picking them up, but I've read on here that Madmans releases dont look as a good as their US counterparts. I already have the singles (Madman) so if the Aus double features are sub par I'll prolly give them a miss and wait to see if the movies get a Dragonbox Z release.
The Madman double features look exactly the same visually to their U.S counterparts.
They aren't actually.
Madman not only crammed the movies onto a single disc, but encoded them as interlaced (as opposed to the solid progressive encode on the US versions) they are definitely inferior to their US counterparts (after wasting money on the first two I opted to pick up the BD's instead).

Thanks for the clear up, Captain. The Madman double features look good to me and since I'm not anal about video quality, I'll just stick with 'em.
