From Amazon.com In the eighth Dragon Ball movie (1993), King Kai summons Goku to stop a Super Saiyan who's laid waste to the South Galaxy, and who plans to attack Earth. Paragas arrives and implores Vegeta to rule a re-created Planet Vegeta. Paragas's son Broly was born on the same day as Goku, but at a power level of 10,000! Fearing this potential menace, Vegeta's father ordered the child killed, but he escaped with Paragus. Now the pair is seeking revenge. After the standard battles, in which characters blast each other through solid rock, Goku defeats his legendary foe--with help from Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo, and (reluctantly) Vegeta. The most surprising images in the film depict not Broly's feats of super-strength, but Goku, incongruously clad in a suit and tie for an interview at the school Chi-Chi wants Gohan to attend. (Not rated: suitable for ages 8 and older: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 53 Average rating: 4.0 "It's great for any true DBZ fan" The movie was incredable as far dbz movies go. Every character is portraid well. Even Vegeta who alot of people complain about, But the truth is he only fights battles he is sure he can win with the expetion of the battle with Cell and that because his son died. But Broly is awsome he just kicks everyones butt, but he is quite insane. Goku,Trunks,and Gohan do their share of fighting and falling. Its just a fun movie to watch espically if your in the mood to watch the heroes get slamed around. "Great Story, Great Fight, Weak Ending" Broly is the one of the best parts of the movie series. The whole Broly saga stretches across two generations of fighters. Broly is set up in the beginning as a strong fighter, and you soon find out he's much more than that. Soon all the Z warriors join in the brawl, eventually Vegeta too. The fight is great, and wou'd think there'd be a great ending to it, involving not only Goku but Vegeta as well. But instead, Goku punches Broly and he dies. WTF! But, that's pretty much the only downside to the movie. Broly is pretty much the only real movie in the DBZ series. It's ovel 70 minutes long, has a story set up and worked out to the end, and the DVD has some good bonus features for once! It's honestly one of the best ones, except for the ending. If you like it, get Broly Second Coming and Bio-Broly. Although I haven't seen Bio-Broly yet, (it's not released yet,) It's sure to be good. Broly Second Coming is kind of the opposite of this one. It has a fairly weak story, an average fight, but an ending worthy of the title DBZ. Maybe I'll watch this one in Japanese and the ending will make more sense. "Broly (...)" I noticed that Goku fans really liked this movie while Vegeta fans (like me) didn't. The movie got Vegeta's character totally wrong. I mean Vegeta may not be more powerful than Goku, but he's way meaner - but in the movie he gets all paralyzed with fear and crap. And to give credit where it's due, Goku kicks some serious (...)... but what's his finishing move? No spirit bomb, no dragon fist, no fireworks... just a stupid white-belt punch. "Worst i've seen in dragon ball z" Worst movie. I think this one is not near as good as the earlier movies. Broly whoops everybody, but goku at the end beats him with a regular punch? what happened to ending them with a spirit bomb or kamehameha? the music is actually really good. not worth $20. First 3 movies are the best. but, it is dragonball z. but this movie is long and boring, and that is why i give it a 2 out of five. "Broly the legendary loser saiyan" Compaired to all the Dragonball Z mini movies I say this one is the best. It's 63 minutes long. Broly is a bad ass he keeps getting stronger after every second while the other need those little beans to eat on. The hevay metal music was cool. The fighting was bad their was no fast punches or kicks just energy blast. The english was horrible. This movie had too much comedy.
