Customer Reviews of Dragon Ball Z - Bardock: The Father of Goku

The plot of this movie (originally a TV special in Japan) is darker than most DBZ tales, and portrays a very Japanese sense of honor and vindication. Goku's father, who we know to have been killed by Freeza, is "cursed" by a dying alien to see the future of his race. As the movie progresses, he periodically sees flashes of his infant son Goku growing up, and the destruction of planet Vegita. When none of his comrades will believe his premonitions, Bardock embarks on a last ditch effort to stop Freeza and change his future.

If you are a DBZ fan GET THIS DVD. Just do yourself a favor and DON'T WATCH THE ENGLISH DUB!

BAD TRANSLATION
THE TRANSLATION REALY SUCK IN THIS MOVIE IS DIFERENT THAN THE ORIGINAL VERSION IN JAPANESE CHANGING EVERITHING IN A WAY THAT THEY WERE CREATING THEIR OWN DIALOG EVEN KNOWING THYAT HAS NO SNECE FIRST FRIEZAQ WAS NOT AFRAID OF BARDOCK LATER IN THE DBZ SEREIES YOU SEE THAT THE REAL REASON WAS THAT THAT HE WAS AFRAI OF ALL SAIYANS SPECIALLY THE OZARU BEAST OR THE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN

5 star quality, BUT CUT UP.
I own this on VHS and I plan to purchase the DVD for the original dialog version. By far this movie had the best story of the series. It takes a much darker path than the usually light-hearted theme of the series. It follows Goku's dad Bardock and what eventually becomes the fatefull day that triggers a series of events leading to Dragonball and DBZ. The rock music fit the scenes and the animation good but seemed a bit cut up as if it were editted for some reason.(SPOILER) If you have been following the story, a lot happens on that day in this movie that is not shown.
Goku aka Kakarot and Broly (not shown) are born. Prince Vegeta training, is sent away on a mission. Kakarot is sent to earth. King Vegeta's attempts to kill Broly and Freiza (not shown) fail. He in fact is killed by Freiza (not shown). Cooler allows Kakarot to escape to earth (mistake). Bardock growing stronger, is noticed by Freiza, and becomes a target for assination. His team is decimated. Gifted with visions Bardock sees the end of his Sayian home and chooses to meet it head on. Freiza destroys him and planet vegeta, Broly and his father escape the blast (not shown). Goku, Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, Turrlis, Broly and his father are the only sayians remaining. There are flashbacks in the show and in a few movies that if pieced together would fit into this movie making it complete. Easily the best movie I've seen so far of DBZ but it would be nice to see it in its entirety.
