Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Cartoon Network aired this movie, they edited out all uses of the word "hell" and removed the pre-credits opening scene. But since the pre-credits segment sets up the rest of the movie, Piccolo's line "I'm gonna pay you back for what you did to me!" no longer makes sense.
- GoofsGarlic Jr. wants the seven Dragon Balls to wish for immortality. Before he has his minions search for the Balls, he orders them to kill Piccolo at the beginning of the film because he knows it will also kill his arch-nemesis Kami. However, being a former candidate for Earth's guardian, Garlic Jr. should know that had the assassination plan succeeded, the Dragon Balls would have also ceased to exist, and thus he would have inadvertently foiled his own plan.
- Crazy creditsJust before the credits start, we see a glass shard that contains Garlic JR. and he is banging on the shard, trying to get out (Garlic JR. eventually does escape the dead zone).
- Alternate versionsThe Cartoon Network version cuts out the begining where Piccolo is injured by the fighters. It also cuts Chi-Chi saying "What the hell do you want?" Also cut is the scene when Gohan is drunk and urinates on Krillin's head. The credit sequence includes new music.

Featured review
That's all I can really say about this film. It's DBZ...like Tree of Might and The World's Strongest, it really...doesn't fit into the timeline for the show at all, though it is supposedly placed just before the beginning of the TV series. The action is pretty nice in general. The plot has a nice enough base, with a good background establishing why these guys hate each other and all. Pretty good in general, there... The problem is...there's a lot of really weird stuff. I mean, really weird stuff. Like The World's Strongest, there's a really, really odd song in this one that could only have been created in a drug induced haze...disturbing is the fact that Gohan, while singing, is pretty much drugged out himself. Creepy. The villains are odd and rather comical...moreso than the usual DBZ type--this seems more like it was made as a Dragon Ball movie rather than a Dragon Ball Z movie. In general, its entertaining enough, but...just...strange.
