This dvd is almost required viewing for any dbz fan. Mostly, because if you don’t see the movie deadzone a lot of the first part of season4 of dragonball z won’t make a lot of sense. (They should probably package these two items together IMO.) I found this out the hard way. Who is garlic Jr? He fought Gohan? Surely not. After all in the first episode of the series Gohan acts like he can barely tie his shoes let alone beat somebody up. But you will find out the secret here. (spoiler warning) Gohan “forgot” the whole fight with Garlic Junior. Hmm, how convenient. It fits but in a cheesy way. “let’s have Gohan forget so we can cram a whole bunch of extra characters into the storyline and not mess things up” cha ching! Bring in the money! Seriously, if you are thinking of buying season 4 of dbz buy this as well and save yourself the confusion.
Probably the best thing for me about this set is the audio commentary for the first movie. I don’t know why they don’t do this more often. It is interesting to hear the people who voice the characters(the english ones) talk about the whole behind the scenes process.
Regarding the films themselves I probably liked deadzone the most but both were pretty good if a bit short. But why did Garlic Junior bother creating a dead zone in the first place? He is immortal, he doesn’t need to use gimmicks to win. Oh, yes that is also quite convenient.

I do like the films but I only could watch them on my computer and not the usual Playstation 2 or DVD player. All the other DBZ DVDs I have brought from USA have all worked on my DVD player and PS2. When are the Double Features coming to Australia on the PAL setting?

Yes for the season sets and the TV specials widescreen is bad. That was a bad move on FUNi’s part. Though for this release, Widescreen is OK. Ya wanna know why? In Japan the DBZ movies were animated 4:3 (Which is what we got on DVD and VHS previously) but the movies were cropped 16:9 for theatrical showing. All the essential action is animated in the area that nothing important is cropped. So it really boils down to this. If you have a widescreen TV or not. I dont, so i didnt like the widescreen season sets, but if watched on a widescreen TV it dosent matter.
The Movies are top notch. They’re definatly made for the DBZ fan. There meant to be enjoyed as entertainment not art, so the animation is kinda sloppy. But its all in good fun. If you have a widescreen tv get this DVD or if you can, the blu-ray. If you have a 4:3 TV, the first strike box will do just nicely.

Both movies were fantastic and both were re-mastered to perfection. The revised dialog with the original Japanese audio was great.
I especially enjoyed watching the World’s Strongest film the most, because the story was second to none and the accompanying sound track was brilliant.
