(Movie 1) (07/15/89)
Dragon Ball Z

An evil little Namek, Garlic Jr., is gathering all of the Dragon Balls together to wish for immortality. Since young Gohan has the #4 Ball sewn to his cap, Gohan is kidnapped by Garlic's minions. This causes Gokou to seek out Garlic (whose mansion is located on a black island to the south of Kame House). Garlic also wants to get rid of Kame, so his minions attempt to kill Piccolo (if Piccolo dies, Kame also dies, and vice versa.) So Kame and Piccolo join in the battle, as does Kurilin. The minions are wasted, but Garlic Jr. already made his wish, so he can't be killed. Garlic and Kame fight it out, and Garlic wins (he wants to get rid of Kame to make way for his own "reign of blood", but he doesn't kill Kame right away).
Garlic Jr. gets beaten up a bit by Gokou and Piccolo, so he decides to create a "Dead Zone" (a black hole) which threatens to suck everyone in and kill them. But Gohan, angry that boulders fell on him and seeing that his dad and his friends were being hurt blasts Garlic into the Dead Zone. The Dead Zone closes, sticking Garlic into a form of eternal darkness.

                  Kono yo de Ichiban Tsuyoi Yatsu:
                       The World's Strongest

Oolong steals Bulma's Dragon Radar, and discovers that someone is gathering up the Dragon Balls. He and Gohan go into the northern glaciers in time to find that the Eternal Dragon was summoned by Dr. Kouchin, asking that his partner, Dr. Wheelo, be brought out of the cold chambers of the icy mountains. A building comes up out of the ice and causes glaciers and avalanches to fall.  As Oolong and Gohan were running from the falling ice, they are stopped by Dr. Wheelo's evil bio-men.  Piccolo arrives to save Gohan from Kouchin's bio-men, but he is overcome by Wheelo's 3 androids and is kidnapped. (Gohan and Oolong escape). Later, Kouchin goes to the Kame House, and kidnaps Bulma in order to force Master Roshi, who Dr. Wheelo believes is the strongest fighter in the world, to go with him to the lab. Master Roshi is told to fight the three androids, and does well for a while, before being defeated by rubbery Minkattsun. Bulma learns that Kouchin and Wheelo's plan on turning the Earth into a desert and populating it with androids. Dr. Wheelo's brain is encased inside a huge robot, that is connected to a wall, and he wants the body of the world's strongest man to house his brain. But, while Master Roshi was the winner of the Tenkaichi Budoukai 50 years ago, (when Wheelo's lab was iced over) the strongest man is now Goku.
Gokou learns what happened to Master Roshi, and goes to the lab, where he destroys the first android. The other two androids over power Goku, and Goku is iced over. Gohan and Kuririn arrive to save the day, and are frozen by the other two androids.  Goku breaks free of the ice and destroys the two androids. Unfreezing Gohan and Krillin, they go off to find Master Roshi and Bulma. Dr. Wheelo is thrilled by Goku's power and sends out someone to fight him...Piccolo.  Piccolo is controlled by Dr. Wheelo until Gohan's shout of frustration causes the mind-control bands to shatter. Dr.Wheelo decides to fight Gokou, and he pulls his robot body free of the wall. The resulting destruction hurls Kouchin down an energy shaft, and Kouchin's outer coating melts before his own robot body is destroyed. Wheelo fights the heroes, and looks like he'll win, when Goku creates a Spirit Bomb and throws it at Wheelo. Wheelo flies up into space to get a breather, and he is destroyed up there.
Afterwards, Master Roshi says that there was one thing he liked about Dr. Wheelo.  Everyone was confused and asked what it was--that he thought Master Roshi was the world's strongest guy. Bulma corrects that to "the world's dirtiest old man."    Everyone laughs and the end. 

                            Characters:

1. Dr. Kouchin -- The Christopher Lee of bio-tech scientists. A robot, he is accidently destroyed by Dr. Wheelo.

                           (The Tree of Might)

Oolong, Kuririn, Bulma, and young Gohan are on a camping trip, when a spy satellite crashes into the forest and starts a raging fire. Kuririn and Gohan battle to put out the blaze, then gather the Dragon Balls to wish for the forest to be restored. One of the animals they save is a Haiyaa Dragon (Higher Dragon) that follows Gohan home to become his pet. Gohan names him Icaruas. The two of them (and Gokou) play together and have a lot of fun, but Chichi wants the dragon sent back to its mountain so it'll stop disrupting Gohan's studies.
Meanwhile, a Saiyan fighter, Taurus, and his minions are scouting Earth to locate Kakarot. Taurus wants Kakarot and/or Gohan to join him to go trash planets. The minions plant a seed of an energy-eating tree near the restored forest -- Taurus plans on eating the fruit of the tree to get a "power up." The tree grows quickly and threatens to destroy Earth. King Kai alerts Gokou to the danger, and everyone (Chi Chi prevents Gohan from joining in, but Icaraus kidnaps the boy to take him to the battle) goes to fight Taurus. Piccolo joins in to save Gohan, but he still plans on killing Gokou later on. Then all of the Earth's warriors join in: Yamcha, Choutzu, Tien, Krillin, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo. Gokou denies his Saiyan heritage, claiming that he's happy to have been hit on the head as a child, rather than growing up to be like Taurus. There's a major battle and the others, not including Goku are all out of energy.  Goku gathers enerrgy for one last attempt to destroy the tree and Taurus...the Spirit Bomb.  It goes into the trunk of the tree, destroying it as it travels through and on up until it reaches Taurus, destroying the tree and Taurus. Afterwards, the energy from the Spirit Bomb breaks up and spreads, the lifeforce energy repairing the damage from the tree.

                        (Movie 4) (03/19/91)
         Super Saiyan da Son Gokou:  The Final Super                  Sayian,  Son Goku

                 Young Gohan and the Icarus visit Piccolo to show him the new dance that Gohan taught the dragon. Gohan whistles and Piccolo, in pain, yells for Gohan to stop.
 Mean while, a planetoid headed towards Earth causes a panic, and Kuririn and Gokou go out to try to deflect the thing with their energy blasts. It still crashes into Earth, but it turns out to be a spaceship that needs to land for refueling. The ship is commanded by the imperious Emperor of the Universe -- Slag, who demands that they leave in 3 days. A weather satellite is launched to cause a cloud to cover the planet, and freeze it over. Earth is now more hospitable for the soldiers living in the ship, and they step outside to terrorize the Earthlings. Slag recognizes the Dragon Ball that is sewn into Gohan's cap, and reads Bulma's mind to learn about the Dragon Radar. The Dragon Balls are rounded up, and Slag wishes for his youth back.
Gokou and Krillin receive Senzu Beans from Yajarobe, and they go to fight Slag. Piccolo shows up to save Gohan. Slag reveals himself to be a Super Namek. Gokou wastes Slag's minions, and even turns into a Super Saiyan for a while, but is trashed by Slag when the Super Namek turns into a giant. Piccolo tears off his own ears, then yells for Gohan to whistle again; we now learn that Nameks get hurt really bad when Earthlings whistle. Slag drops to his knees, and Piccolo imparts his energy to Gokou. The Gokou/Piccolo fusion beats up Slag, then Gokou flies above the black cloud to get enough energy to create a Spirit Bomb that kills Slag.(Slag accidently trashed his own spaceship, so there's no bad guys left now.) The cloud dissipates, and Yajarobe reappears to give Senzu Beans to the heroes. Piccolo's ears grow back. Finally, Master Roshi, who'd been sleeping through all this, wakes up from his dreams of fantasy women, exercises while saying that the weather is very nice today.

            Tobikkiri no Saikyou tai Saikyou:Fantastic Ultimate             Strength vs Ultimate Strength
                Dragon Ball Z: The Greatest Rival (The Revenge of Cooler) {My favorite thing about this movie is the terriffic music, you'll love it!}

              Back when Freeza destroyed Planet Vegeta, and killed Bardock, Freeza's older brother, Cooler had been watching from his own spaceship. Cooler had seen Kakarot's space capsule zipping off, but didn't interfere with it. 20 years later, Cooler receives a report stating that Freeza has been killed.
              Gokou, Gohan, and Kuririn go on a camping trip.   Meanwhile, Cooler learns that Freeza was killed by a Saiyian, now living on Planet Earth, so, Cooler and his henchmen prepare to head for Earth.  While gathering wood, Gohan is distracted from something in the forest, and while Krillin was stirring the stew on the fire, Krillin feels something too.  Krillin then sees someone appear behind Gohan and yells to watch out, but is knocked out from behind.  Gohan yells Krillin's name, but is grabbed by his tail.  (Ooohhh, that's gotta hurt!) Cooler's henchmen are about to kill Gohan when Goku intervenes.  Cooler wants to fight Gokou, and discover the true strength of the legendary "Super Saiyan." They fly off to a place to fight, when they were interupted by Gohan coming to help his dad.  Goku told him to go and Cooler shoots his Death Beam right at Gohan, but Goku jumps in front and grabs Gohan, getting shot in the back.  He falls down into the water with Gohan and Cooler knows that he is not dead, so he sends his henchmen to search for him.  Gohan and Goku (hurt badly) hide in a cave and Goku goes unconcious.  The henchmen blow up the land, including the cave that Gohan and Goku are in.  Later on that night Krillin, Oolong and Icarus rescue them from the debri on them.  Gohan goes to Kurin's tower to retrieve some sensu beans while Krillin and Oolong stays with Goku.  Upon retrieving the sensu beans and on his way back, Gohan and Icarus are intercepted by Cooler's henchmen.  Piccolo comes to Gohan's aide and tells Gohan to get the Beans to his dad.  Gohan flies off. Piccolo destroys two of the henchmen, then is stopped by Cooler when trying to kill the third. Piccolo is shot through the chest with Cooler's death beam.  The third henchmen flies off to find Goku and company, and while Krillin is about to hand a sensu bean to Goku, the whole bag is destroyed by the third henchman.  Krillin fights the dude and Gohan then realizes that he had forgotten about the sensu bean in his gi.  He feeds it to Goku and Krillin is K.O.ed by the henchman.  Gohan fights him and is also k.o.ed.  Goku knocks the henchman into the rock and Cooler returns with a limp Piccolo.  He throws Piccolo and fights Goku.  Just when it started to get hard for Goku, Cooler transforms into his 4th form, a form unknown to anyone.  When Goku is about to be killed, Goku goes SSJ and blows Cooler out of orbit with his own Death Ball.  At the end, Cooler has been blown into the sun by a massive energy ball, but before he does, he says out loud that his brother had destroyed the Planet Vegeta, so how could there be a Saiyan left? And then he remembers the space pod that held the baby inside and he asked himself why he hadn't killed him then, then he 'supposedly dies' from the sun.  Gohan and everyone gathers around Goku and Krillin asks where Piccolo is.  Nowhere in sight, they say that he probably already left.  And then everyone notices the pile of rocks that starts to move.  Thinking it was Piccolo, Gohan approaches the rocks.  Instead, the now insane third henchman pops out and walks toward everyone.  Everyone, having no energy left, were doomed until a power beam comes out of nowhere and kills the henchman.  Everyone turns to look to the direction of which the beam came from, but didn't see anyone.  Gohan and everyone realize that it had to have been Piccolo and Gohan laughs and calls out Piccolo's name.    Then the screen switches and shows the worn out Namek getting a drink from a stream.  He stands up and hmphs (snort, grunt, whatever they do) out loud.  The end.
