This movie was originally released in Japan in December 1986 and all the advertising and promotional material was under the tile "Dragon Ball: Doragon bôru", but in fact the opening credits of the film itself featured "Dragon Ball: Doragon bôru - Shenron no densetsu". This official title was first used in product art in the Laser Disc release of 1987.
This anime film is a reboot of Dragon Ball (1986) on an alternative timeline with the same origin story.
The Mexican VHS of Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies released in 1998 is different to American and Japanese versions, contains the warning of not to piracy in Spanish with the VideoVisa logo from 1998 to 1999 and the Dragon Ball movies VHS promo.
