Description:
It's Goku versus Frieza high above the surface of Namek; fists, insults, and blasts of energy fly as the valiant superhero and sniggering supervillain duke it out. But there's a strict time limit on the duel: one of Frieza's energy blasts struck the core of Namek, so the planet will explode in a matter of minutes. While the battle rages, Gohan carries Bulma and the badly wounded Picollo from the crumbling surface of Namek to the safety of Goku's spaceship. Meanwhile, Goku's former instructor King Kai has had Mr. Popo gather together the seven Dragonballs as part of his plan to defeat Frieza. Goku allows Frieza to attain his maximum power during their battle: he's determined to prove who is stronger, with no excuses. The plan backfires when a devastating attack by Frieza hurls Goku deep into the surface rock of Namek. Believing his father to be dead, Gohan attacks Frieza, proving himself a worthy heir to the Super Saiyan tradition. Needless to say, Goku comes roaring back, delivering the mixture of sci-fi action, sword-and-sorcery fantasy, and Valley dude dialogue that has made Dragonball Z a favorite in both the U.S. and Japan. The unrated edition is suitable for ages 8 and up; cartoon violence and minor sexual innuendo. The edited version is the same program that plays on the Cartoon Network, removing blood, nudity, smoking, and profanity, and even a few frames from the moments when punches land. The uncut versions of these adventures run one to five minutes longer. --Charles Solomon
