Dave : Is that that little girly white thing? Okay, upon long consultation Joel and Sambo have decided that this movie comes after the Vegita saga but before the Nappa saga. That should clear some stuff up to you. OTHER stuff** might not be so clear. I didn't notice until the end of the movie, but this disc actually has a Japanese track and it actually doesn't seem like a dubtitle. Way to go guys! |

According to Joel this is what Dragon Ball Z should be all about. 60 minutes of nonstop fighting, the only problem is it's more like 30 minutes of nonstop fighting, and on top of that it's not such a good show. At the same time I've gathered a bit of respect for it. Being one of the only people alive able to watch Bloodsport back to back to back, and the only person in existence able to survive watching Cliffhanger more than once in their entire life I was well prepared. The former proves I REALLY like fights, the latter shows that I have an unbelievably high pain threshold. Bring it on Pioneer! My power level is already reaching nine hundred and five! So after my first return to Dragon Ball Z after however long ago I used to watch it on Sunday mornings at nine o'clock and try and stall my parents, who were trying to drag me out the door and into the car. Those bastards and their church! |

Okay, so the "story" basically goes that everyone is out for a camping trip in the woods. People laugh a Gohan because he's got a big backpack. See, Gohan's mom has him whipped and makes him do dorky things like study all the time when he could be hanging out with the cool crowd like Kllilin***, Tien, and all those other losers who never do crap. Along comes a thing they call "Higher Dragon", why? I don't freakin' know... maybe that's his name. During the night a projectile drops down from the sky and starts a huge fire. After using their destructive powers to somehow put OUT the fire the team runs around to collect the Dragon Balls so they can ask the Eternal Dragon to make everything back to normal. Now this is where the schools of thought diverge. Joel says you can only use the Dragon Balls once a year, but Sambo and I believe that you can use them as much as you want, they just get scattered around the world after each summoning of the Eternal Dragon. |

That doesn't matter, the next morning a little robot reminiscent of the Spider Droid from Space Quest I comes wandering out of the hole it made the previous night and starts surveying stuff. Observing this from space is Tules and his weird detachment of the Saiyajin (ha! Spelled it right!) army. Though they're not really Saiyajins, they're pretty much just copying what those crazy monkey tailed bastards used to do. This all had to be explained to me by Joel and Sambo, I don't really remember much about the show except that Nappa was pretty big, King Kai was blue, and Goku had the spirit bomb and it was bad-ass. Anyway, the Saiyajins decide that the only thing that's gonna learn these Earthers is if they plant the Tree Of Might to drain their world of all it's energy. The tree then uses this energy to make fruit that'll empower whoever eats it with awesoma strength. Good for Tules, bad for Earth. Especially that little kid holding the balloon. He was REALLY screwed. Kai : That's when the real trouble will begin. |

**Like why we have to see a little boy's more private areas.
***Okay, how the hell do you spell this guy's name?
