"The First DBZ Movie!"
This is the very first Dragon Ball Z movie to be released. It was first released in Japan in 1989 under the titled "Return My Gohan," but has been dubbed into Dead Zone. Buy the Uncut version if you want true DBZ, the edited version doesn't show the very beginning when Piccolo fights Garlic Junior's men. This is probably the funniest Dragon Ball Z movie as well, I loved the part when Gohan ate that apple and started to see things and act funny. Garlic Junior wishes for immortality in this movie, that's why he kidnaps Gohan, for the Dragon Ball on his hat. Goku goes to the place where Gohan is being held, and he starts fighting. Krillin and Piccolo join him, and then they all fight Garlic Junior after he transforms. Gohan eventually unleashes his hidden power that we all know about and hurles Garlic Junior into the Dead Zone. Because this movie is from Pioneer, the voices of the characters are different than in the series. Movies 1-3 are all the same voice, movies 4-13 will have the same voices as in the series with Sean Schemmel as Goku and Chris Sabat as Vegeta. The animation is very clear and well-drawn, too.

Dragonball Z - The Movie: Dead Zone
This movie is an anime, which is Japanese animation. It one of the 13 movies of the Dragonball/Dragonball Z series.

THE PLOT: The plot is not very complicated, yet not too simple. It could have gone a little deeper.

THE CHARACTERS: A typical DBZ movie with a lot of Goku in it. Those of you who are fans of DBZ may not like the fact that Vegeta is not in this movie.

THE ENGLISH VOICES: They are pretty decent.

THE JAPANESE VOICES: Except for Chi Chi's voice (hidious) and Goku's (sounds like a girl) these voices are pretty good.

THE SOUND: The sound is different in the subtitle then in the dub. I'd say the subtitle has a bit better quality sound than the dub.

THE ENDING: It is a typical ending, but how they defeat the villain is a real surpirse.

HOW MUCH IT STAYS TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION: This movie is uncut, and it includes all the original Japanese songs.

THE SONGS: They are not translated, but if you decide to watch the subtitled version, then the lyrics to the songs are hilarious!

THE ANIMATION: It is well done for an anime, but poorly done compared to American animation.

THE ACTION: Pretty good fight scenes. Watch for the "Power pole extend" and "Kamehameha" parts.

HOW I WOULD RATE THIS MOVIE: If I were the rater, I would rate it PG. There is one scene that is a little bit nasty, since the movie is uncut.

TIME PERIOD: For you DBZ veterans out there, Dead Zone takes place after Dragonball but before Dragonball Z.

THE DUB OVERALL: I'd say it's ok.

THE SUBTITLE OVER ALL: The subtitle is very well done.

OVERALL RATING: 2 of 5 stars.

OVERALL COMMENTS: The movie is very short, the fight scenes were ok, as well as the sound and voices, and the movie was funny at times. The ending is really cool.

funny and action exhilarating
Gohan is kidnapped by the menacing Garlic Jr because he wants revenge from Kami over his father Garlic's death. Goku, Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin join the fight as Garlic Jr opens the dead zone to suck KAmi's tower in it. action highlights include when Goku knocks one of Jr's henchmen with his powerpole into a domebuilding then blows it up, where Gohan crys out and knocks Garlic Jr. in and where Piccolo fights a henchmen. purely for fans, others would find it corny. uncut version is better
