    Fantastic movie, I really enjoyed this movie. The animation is incredible, has a great story and a pretty cool battle.

    Excellent for those DBZ fans and those just getting into it, or any other anime of the shounen/action genre of anime.

    It's very good but they needed go into Turles' backstory more. Why does he look like Goku? Great action and I'm glad the movie used the entire Z team.

    The continuity of Dragonball Z versus this film is off by miles!
    The one thing that's for sure is this happens right after the arrival and defeat of all three Saiyans, since King Kai's helping out, Son Goku is alive, he mentions his son Gohan becoming a giant ape before, and he'... read mores familiar with the artificial moon trick Turles does...

    However, the entire supporting cast of fighters are around as well including Piccolo, who were all dead by the end of the Saiyan Saga and only alive prior when Goku was dead, so it should be impossible since this takes place before the Namek trip and Goku couldn't become Super Saiyan.

    (SHIT! I said too much already)
