DragonBall Z Cooler's Revenge: Uncut Movie (REGION 1) (NTSC) [DVD] [US Import]

this is the 5th movie out of the 13 dbz movie and as expected this movie trumps the other 4 movies that came before it. the story takes place shortly after goku returns home from namek to find that frieza's older brother cooler is out for revenge. the film has good action and fight sceenes it and good bgm.i give this fim 5 starts as its a great dbz movie and ties into the main series of dragon ball z.I would recommed this film to any fan of dbz or anyone how like anime that has not seen it.

Ok

Decided to get this version due to the Blu-Ray's inferior audio mixing and timing.One of the better DBZ movies. An intimidating villain, a killer soundtrack, and stellar animation.

Frieza, in all his foolishness, let the young Goku escape in a Saiyan spacepod during his battle with Bardock. Looking from afar was his brother, Cooler, who let the Saiyan child live stating that he would be Frieza's eventual downfall. He couldn't have been more correct...Now that the tyrant Frieza has finally fallen, Cooler has arrived on Earth looking for Goku in order to seek revenge. Goku is not able to stand up to Cooler's initial assault, so now it's up to Gohan and all his friends to protect him until he can recover and summon the Super Saiyan strength he needs to finally defeat Cooler.I thought this was a great Dragonball Z movie, and one of the best ones overall. Goku is injured early on in the film, which takes much of the focus off of him and places it instead on his son, Gohan, and his comrades. This gives the story an opportunity to make use of the supporting cast to a much greater extent, allowing them to become much more than just weaklings that get tossed aside in the early stages of a fight. There is also much more depth to Cooler's character than there is to the villains that came before him in previous movies. An example of this is illustrated in a scene where he admits he doesn't care much for Frieza and that he deserved what he got, but still has an obligation to try and avenge his death. The FUNimation dub is done more decently this time around than it was in Lord Slug, though the soundtrack still needs work and the French accent portrayed by Sauzer's character is quite exaggerated and over the top.If you're a Dragonball Z fan at all, then you should buy/watch this movie. Keep in mind when viewing it though, that it does conflict with what happens in the series. For example, Goku should not be on Earth until Trunks arrives and kills Frieza and King Cold, so it's not possible that he would be waiting there when Cooler shows up. Aside from continuity issues, it's a great standalone movie and shouldn't be missed!

This DVD contains Dragon Ball Z Movie 5: "The Incredible Strongest vs Strongest" or simply "Cooler's Revenge.The plot of the movie is simple. Cooler (Coola) is the brother of DBZ series villain Freeza. After hearing about his death at the hand of a Saiyan he sets out to Earth to avenge his brother's death and to restore honor to his family. Spoiler Alert: He doesn't have such a great time when he gets there.The video quality is standard. In it's original 4:3 aspect ratio and everything.the english dub audio uses a replacement musical score so dub fans who want the original music will be missing out. Otherwise the quality is good in 5.1 surround sound. The original Japanese mono track is about as good as any other JP tracks given to Funimation by Toei.Also features a great translation by Steve Simmons.One surprise that greeted me when I got this DVD was that it contained a Spanish audio track and an english translation of said audio track. Having often heard of how highly regarded the Spanish dub of the series is held I was curious and checked it out. While the translation was a little wonky it was a great experience and I wish this dub would be included on more Funimation releases.All in all, until Funimation releases Dragon Box versions of the movies this is the best version of the movie you can pick up in North America.

This is the original version that I enjoyed as a kid. Not the digitally remastered crap. Wish I could find the original DBZ seasons as well but they’ve been “remastered”…..

Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge is one of the best films FUNimation put out and it shows. Being a 2000's DVD, the video and audio quality isn't amazing but not bad either. The hard rock/metal soundtrack is simply awesome and the voice performances are stellar as well. If you find yourself not liking the English voices or music, there are four audio options included to give you the choice of how you want to watch it. You hardly need any background information on Dragon Ball Z to jump into this film. I would recommend this title for rock fans and DBZ fans especially, but anyone can enjoy this awesome movie.
