Dragon Ball Z: The World’s Strongest, 1990 – ★★★

The second of the Dragonball Z movies, and this one has a bit more pep in its step over ‘Dead Zone’, in this one a henchman of a long lost mad scientist uses the dragonballs to ressurect his master. Leading to the genius creating a group of ‘super fighters’ which he wants to put up against our ‘Z’ fighters, with the ultimate goal being to create the worlds strongest fighter.

This one I feel was more worthy of the ‘film’ length runtime, clocking in at just shy of an hour, it feels a bit more grander, theres a bit more at stake, and the fight scenes feel more solidly choreographed. Again, much like ‘Dead zone’ I cant say I ‘Loved’ this one. But I had a more than fine enough time checking it out, and visually this films in a different league. Deadzone felt like an extended episode of the show, this film felt like an actual attempt to do something that the shows budget couldnt stretch to usually. and I apprecitated that.
