Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 15 Average rating: 4.5 "no difference" there is no difference. never before seen footage doesn't mean anything its the same verion as the pioneer version except it is redubbed and different music. what sucks is funimation changed the script around unlike pioneer where they include the swearing. you can buy it if you want its pretty good but i would recommend the pioneer version. there are also no special features but the directors commentary is hilarious. "The more grown up version" This is not the pioneer version it is re-dubbed with new music, uncut and news words. This is the first DBZ movie with Gohan being kidnapped by Garlic Jr. and his three evil gones the real reasion why they grab him it's cause of the dragonball on top of his cap. Their gathering all 7 balls once they do that Garlic Jr. wishes of enternal life. Goku, Piccolo arrives on the scene fight the bad guys not to spoil this movie go see it. "Why?" This was at one point a decent DBZ anime movie. However, Funimation feels that in addition to changing voice actors, they needed to change the music and dialogue as well. The original music, from the Pioneer version, was much more energetic and well timed. Also: while Gohan's song was slightly annoying and in a language inaccessable to many people throughout the world, it's still better than Gohan laughing inanely. If you wish to purchase this, buy the Pioneer version. "Dead Zone" I bought the Pioneer version of this a few months before this one came out. The movie was very good, but I didn't like the voices at all and the picture quality was simply awful. But, with this version of it, they use the FUNimation voices, with new music and a new script, which I like better than the Pioneer script. (Which was actually the Japanese script.) Many people like the Pioneer version over this one becquse they used the Japenese music and dialouge. However, if you want that, just watch the Japenese version of it, on this DVD. (Pioneer always had poor subtitles on their DVD's, but FUnimation always gets the subtitles right.) Also, this is the digitally remastered version, and it looks very, very good. I'm so glad they're finally releasing the Ultimate Uncut editions. Pioneer took and butchered a great series, cutting the climactic Goku Vegeta battle into utter crap, and ruined the great Namek saga. Finally, we'll see these episodes, (and movies-World's Strongest and Tree of Might are also being re-released) the way they were meant to be seen. "A Very Good Remake" I bought the movie last saturday and i watched when i got home. I thoguht it was better than the original movie because it's the way it was supposed to be made. I always say, "The original is the best, unless it's uncut." After I watched the movie, I watched the commentary. I'm a hard person to make laugh, but the commentary people got me to laugh. I would recommend getting this movie if you've seen the first one. I would also recommend this to any person who hasn't seen this movie before so they can see it the way it was meant to be seen. It is definitely worth the money buying this movie.
