Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone
1989

Of all the stuff in DBZ, I'm super excited to try the movies. And this one was good! Action-packed and paced well, this movie's a good watch.

(1) The animation with the sword fighting is my favorite, surprisingly. The power pole is a cool weapon in this one, and I wish Goku used it more often in Z (as an adult). (2) There's a cute scene with Gohan singing (bless you, Masako Nozawa). (3) I kept thinking of TFS's joke with them trying to kill Piccolo AND use the dragon balls. For those of you who don't know, if Piccolo is dead, then the dragon balls disappear.
