Yes, the gang must once again unite in a movie to take on a threat that could not possibly exist in the regular series time line. This one has three androids activated to take on Goku after Dr. Gero's death. Granted, it does make sense that there were other androids, but there is really no place for this particular battle to occur. Of course, that is par for the course in a Dragonball Z movie, then it is not to surprising as the series does not really allow for there to be an other battles than those you see. It is funny to have Goku shopping with Chi Chi at the beginning and the fight is somewhat cool. Vegeta is once again in a movie, I think this was the second film he was in and he does a bit in this one, still he never really got to impress all that much in the movies typically being over matched to the extreme with Goku doing most of the work. Like most of the films, this one too could have benefited having about ten or fifteen minutes more to develop the story more and add some more punch to the final fight. The only movie in the series to have a decent run time would be the next film featuring Broly. This one though is somewhat good and it is nice that they have three androids for the three Super Saiyans to fight at one point so you get to see them all do their thing before the obvious thing happens and Goku must summon his strength to win.

This film definitely has great action, but as do they all don't they?? So, let me go straight to the negatives. First off , there isn't much to the story but fighting here. Even for a DBZ film, I got annoyed here. The androids kind of just show up and what else can I say? The look of this one is great I will add though, and I love the ice setting for the fight. Now the dubbed version is great with the comedic aspects of the film, my favorite scene being when Vegeta first punches super android 13, only to find no result at all. "What the--??". He then fires on him with several punches and it was a funny yet tight. Loved it!! The action here is brutal and I think fans will bump the film up a notch or two due to this, but then there is android 13 and that accent. I don't quite understand why the dubbers thought that'd be a good choice for the main villain but if they must...The only thing more horrendous then that whole aspect of the film is Trunks's line,"We'll see you Red Ribbon redneck". Whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA!! What movie was I watching?? Surely an attempt to spice up the villains' conflict with the other Z fighters other than the overly stated fact that their prime initiative is to kill Goku. Yes, we get it by now...

SpoilersAfter hearing so many good things about this movie, I was sure I was going to be in for a real treat. Now, after watching it twice, I wonder: what were all of those people smoking!? This film is horrible, with bad music, a horrible story, and uninspiring characters.The fights between Goku, Trunks, Vegeta, and the new androids were horribly uneven. The three of them are getting beaten up badly by the androids even after going super saiyajin, which has a very cliche' scene of Trunks and Vegeta "just barely" defeating their android opponents. What suprises me is Trunks is actually able to kill no. 14 with his useless sword. Anyway, I won't spoil the ending, but since there's nothing worth spoiling, I'll just dwelve into more of the bad points. First, the Japanese title of the film(The Three Super Saiyajin) is one of the most misleading titles in existence. The three of them only go SSJ for ONE MINUTE! NO, I'M NOT KIDDING, THEY ONLY STAY IN SUPER SAIYAJIN FORM FOR A SINGLE MINUTE! And even though the movie's horribly short, that's not much time. Also, most of the film is donated to Kuririn acting like an idiot. He serves no purpose except to be the butt of the writer's cruel jokes(like almost have his face fried by a stray energy blast). The ending is unwatchable. I am going to say this: there is NO WAY Goku would be able to defeat Super 13 the way he did.BOTTOM LINE: If you've bought the DVD, I have two suggestions: 1., Sell it at a movie dealer(if they're actually crazy enough to buy it), or 2., use it as a frisbee. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!

This movie is one of the finer of the Dragon Ball Z movies. It's the first movie to introduce Mirai (adult/future) Trunks. Past this is a small summary of what happens, since not much happens in the first place (It's mostly action oriented), don't feel too bad about reading on. *** It begins on a day when Chi Chi, Gohan, Goku and the rest of the gang go shopping and three of Dr. Gero's androids.... yes he has more... activate on a mission to destroy son Goku. Goku, of course, begins his fight with-in the city but decides to take it to a more remote location up north where people won't get hurt during the fight. Of those to show up, we get to see Vegeta kick some pimp bot butt (you'll see what I mean) and Trunks slice open a can of whoop *** with that sword of his. Of course, three androids are enough... but another android arises that is worse than.. uhh, well... about as bad as all three of them put together! SUPER ANDROID 13!! Well, the only way anyone can think to defeat him is with a Genki Dama... but will that be enough?? ***Anyway, it has some really great fighting and is a great movie to watch again and again. BUT, it isn't too strong on the storyline level, so don't expect much. Hey, only a FEW dbz movies have much of a storyline anyway. Enjoy it for what it is. Some great dbz fighting and one of the most wicked looking expressions I've ever seen on Goku's face!
