Dragon Ball Z: Los 3 grandes Supersayanos

What "Super Android 13" does best is how it utilizes all its best characters at a time period where they were all close to the same power level. We have Goku, Vegeta and Trunks all at super saiyan and Piccolo. Sure we are missing Tien, but still got Gohan and Krillin. The Android saga is an exciting time in the DBZ time-line.

This does raise the question of how Dr. Gero's androids seem to be getting weaker with every successive number. The design of Android 13, in all forms, is nothing special.

The busy town setting and the ice glacier setting help make this one stand out from the other DBZ movies. Problem is the villains here are not nearly as memorable as any of the androids in the series proper. Why the saiyans wait so long to go super saiyan? I guess they wanted it to be a better fight. But as soon as they go super, the fight is basically over. And the way the finale goes is once again pretty anticlimactic. It is one of the 3 basic ways these movies end.

In the end, it's not bad. But feels very robotic, like it was a Dragon Ball movie made by an A. I. Maybe Dr. Gero himself made the movie.

Yes, the gang must once again unite in a movie to take on a threat that could not possibly exist in the regular series time line. This one has three androids activated to take on Goku after Dr. Gero's death. Granted, it does make sense that there were other androids, but there is really no place for this particular battle to occur. Of course, that is par for the course in a Dragonball Z movie, then it is not to surprising as the series does not really allow for there to be an other battles than those you see. It is funny to have Goku shopping with Chi Chi at the beginning and the fight is somewhat cool. Vegeta is once again in a movie, I think this was the second film he was in and he does a bit in this one, still he never really got to impress all that much in the movies typically being over matched to the extreme with Goku doing most of the work. Like most of the films, this one too could have benefited having about ten or fifteen minutes more to develop the story more and add some more punch to the final fight. The only movie in the series to have a decent run time would be the next film featuring Broly. This one though is somewhat good and it is nice that they have three androids for the three Super Saiyans to fight at one point so you get to see them all do their thing before the obvious thing happens and Goku must summon his strength to win.

In my opinion this is one of the most forgettable DBZ movies. The villains aren't interesting and Android 13 is way too overpowered.

It is smart the idea of exploring the numbers before 17 but well, I didn't like this one. I felt it was repetitive and the way he was beaten in the end not satisfying (it was creative, for sure), because as I said, he was too overpowered. The heroes couldn't even make him falter.

This guy is just like Broly. A villain so powerful that must be beaten by Deus ex Machina. Maybe the best thing about this one is that the Z Warriors are able to beat some of the villains, and that's not up to Goku alone.

I do understand this film isn't really canon to the Dragon Ball Z saga. But the movie is actually really fun to watch. The fact that Android 13 is a redneck trucker makes this so much better. You gotta love how he talks in the film with his southern redneck accent actually makes it pretty hilarious. Like "Don't you lecture me with yo $30 haircut, GOKU DIES!" You have to understand it's not often you hear enemies with an accent like that in any portion of the Dragon Ball Z series, or in the films or specials. I believe that the way they made android 13 out to be makes this one of the more unique and pretty much a fan favorite Dragon Ball Z film, you gotta admit!

This movie is one of the finer of the Dragon Ball Z movies. It's the first movie to introduce Mirai (adult/future) Trunks. Past this is a small summary of what happens, since not much happens in the first place (It's mostly action oriented), don't feel too bad about reading on. *** It begins on a day when Chi Chi, Gohan, Goku and the rest of the gang go shopping and three of Dr. Gero's androids.... yes he has more... activate on a mission to destroy son Goku. Goku, of course, begins his fight with-in the city but decides to take it to a more remote location up north where people won't get hurt during the fight. Of those to show up, we get to see Vegeta kick some pimp bot butt (you'll see what I mean) and Trunks slice open a can of whoop *** with that sword of his. Of course, three androids are enough... but another android arises that is worse than.. uhh, well... about as bad as all three of them put together! SUPER ANDROID 13!! Well, the only way anyone can think to defeat him is with a Genki Dama... but will that be enough?? ***

Anyway, it has some really great fighting and is a great movie to watch again and again. BUT, it isn't too strong on the storyline level, so don't expect much. Hey, only a FEW dbz movies have much of a storyline anyway. Enjoy it for what it is. Some great dbz fighting and one of the most wicked looking expressions I've ever seen on Goku's face!
