Dragon Ball Z - The Return of Cooler (Uncut Feature) [DVD]

Great movie, really bring the badassness of cooler to a new level. He couldn't be stopped, literally. He kept coming back to life due to the power of the Star that kept him alive. i've always been a fan of dragonball movies, they seem to ALWAYS be better than the show. This is a great addition to you collection if you're a fan.

Grew up watching Dragon ball z as a kid this movie brings back memories.

I have all the movies in the DBZ collection and this was by far my favorite. You dont need to watch the first Cooler movie to enjoy this one, but it doesnt hurt. Vegeta rocks in this movie!

I like the the way the shipments come quickly. Sometimes it makes a difference in whether or not the kids will want to order again. The product was what they expected.

Well, I bought this for my #7 son. He has it memorized already.This means it is a really great product and I will eventually be suckered into buy more...

the C.D. was in good shape and the packaging was really good. Our son has to have all the series.

Oh, it's true -- DBZ has its formula. But as anyone following series knows, you can have good formula and bad formula.This is good formula. "Return of Cooler" (oddly, he's just called "Coola" in the subtitles) really should be watched with the preceding movie as a double-header, since Cooler makes his first appearance in that one. He's one of a very, VERY small number of villains to ever manage to fight Goku after having lost one to him.In this one, Cooler's come back as a cyborg, having fused with a Borg-like supermachine called "Big Gete Star" (I prefer the spellings of Gheti or Geti, but c'est la vie) that among other annoying traits allows his now-robotic body to repair itself at lightning speed. Cooler attacks New Namek, the planet the Namek-seijin went to after their original planet was destroyed in the battle between Goku and Freezer. (for the uninitiated, yes, the names are that silly. Toriyama-sensei is very fond of puns and in-jokes, and most names in Dragonball/DBZ refer to food, clothing, or appliances in some way)The Namek-seijin get help when their planet is attacked, in the form of Goku and his friends. This is just fine with Cooler, who was planning on hitting Earth next.What makes this one better than some of the others is that its battles do not follow the pure formula. There IS one DBZ movie that follows the formula to the letter and remains fun to watch (the next one -- Three Super Saiyajin), but on the whole it's better when there's unexpected twists. In this one Goku simply CANNOT win it alone and does need help, and their enemy is something beyond merely another Badass Warrior.The movie also gives us a bit more action from the other characters, giving even Kuririn, comic relief though he usually is, a few moments to kick some. Piccolo gets several cool moments, including one that really gives one an appreciation for why he's still sometimes considered to be on the top level of power.If you're a DBZ fan, this is one of the movies you really should own.Negative points: I've seen this one in letterbox format at least once; why that isn't on the DVD, I don't know. The translation in subtitles is... iffy. There aren't very many places where it's flat-out WRONG, but a number where the translated version doesn't get the right spirit or phrasing for what the original meant. (one subtle point which they and other fan-translators muck up is that when Goku first becomes Super-Saiyajin and Cooler comments on it, Cooler HESITATES. His voice makes clear that he's NOT quite as confident as he makes himself out to be, and that should be reflected in the subtitles.) It seems rather unfair that the English version gets a super-Dolby and we get Japanese Mono -- I believe this was released in theaters, which makes it hard to believe that there IS no stereo version of the Japanese. I suppose it's possible, of course, in which case there's nothing to be done -- you can't bring back the Japanese cast and re-record it (and even if you wanted to, at least one of the original VA's is dead now).

One of the more underrated movies. A must watch, must buy, great for collectors.

DBZ sequel to DBZ movie five, i personally thought that this movie was better then the first cooler but not saying that the first cooler movie wasnt good because it was in my opinion. DBZ return of cooler is region one but will player on region two dvd players as it states on the back of the dvd case. I ordered this not too long ago, everything about it was fine when it got to me. i would say that this is overall a good DBZ film and sequel, i again would recomend it to any DBZ fan.

Ok
