Movie Guide

In total there are 13 DBZ movies. Not all have been released on VHS or DVD by FUNimation, and some probably won't ever be. We'll just have to wait and see.

No movies have currently been released in the UK. If you have purchased any of the movies, you would have got them from the US (if you live in the UK, they would have been imported from the US). In Japan all 13 movies have been released - the main reason why we are waiting for the movies is FUNi's dubbing and translating processes of the movies. And of course some dumb marketing plan to keep you waiting till the next one is released.

Here is a list of all 13 movies :

01. Dead Zone
02. The World's Strongest Man
03. The Tree Of Might
04. Lord Slug
05. Cooler's Revenge
06. The Return Of Cooler
07. Super Android 13.
08. Burnout!! Fierce Fight, Violent Fight, Super-Exciting Fight
09. The Galaxy's in Danger! The Super Awesome Guy!
10. The Mischievous Partners, Super Warriors Never Rest
11. The Super Warrior Clone!
12. The Rebirth of Fusion!
13. Dragon Fist Assualt!

Now then, here's a list of the 7 movies which you can buy :

01. Dead Zone
02. The World's Strongest Man
03. The Tree Of Might
04. Lord Slug
05. Cooler's Revenge
06. The Return Of Cooler
07. Super Android 13.

So, where do these 7 movies fit in with the actual DBZ storyline? Here's a quick guide to show you where they fit in :

Dead Zone : In-between the end of series Dragonball and beginning of Dragonball Z.
The World's Strongest : After Goku battled with Vegeta and Nappa.
The Tree of Might : After Goku battled with Vegeta and Nappa.
Lord Slug : Just before the Namek Saga.
Cooler's Revenge : After the Frieza Saga, but before the Android Saga.
The Return of Cooler : After 'Cooler's Revenge.'
Super Android 13. : Around the Android Saga.

Another question : why do the names of movies 8-13 look too long. There's a simple answer to this, as these movies haven't been released in the USA or UK, all the names of movies 8-13 are direct translations of the names of the Japanese movies. Every time that FUNi has released a movie in the US, they have given it a more suitable name. This is because, as you can guess, a movie called 'Burnout!! Fierce Fight, Violent Fight, Super-Exciting Fight ' doesn't really make much sense. Why has the Japanese Called the movies these wired names well they haven't because the titles have been translated the actual titles of the movies in Japanese would not mean Burnout!! Fierce Fight, Violent Fight, Super-Exciting Fight it would be something more like A fierce, violent, super exciting fight.

The 'Lost' Movie

I'm sure if you've scanned the web of its many DBZ sites, you would have heard of the 'lost' movie. Well, yes this is in fact true. The film is called 'Plan to Eliminate the Saiyans.' The idea for the movie was actually developed for the Story part of a game (with the same name) made for the console called the Playdia. I be you've probably never heard of that one before - hence the reason why the film developed for the game was never released - it simply wasn't popular enough.
