Summary: First time ever Vegeta helps Goku!!
Review: As Goku's powers fall and he can no longer fight Buu. All hope seems lost, just as Vegeta makes his final assumptions on how Goku is the strongest and how he will never surpass him. Vegeta finally steps in and attempts to hold off Buu. But it appears he won't last long. As Vegeta's powers crumble and Buu is about to destroy him Goku seems to have healed a bit and saves Vegeta.Goku in SSJ3 again wants to finish the battle as soon as possible so Vegeta needs to stall.Goku continues to prepare his spirit bomb but can Vegeta hold out long enough to allow goku to create the massive energy ball? As Vegeta is about to fall again it seems nothing can save him. Goku cannot because if he attempts the spirit bomb will be destroyed from lack of concentration. All of the sudden the last man you would expect; he man who you thought wasted time on dbz comes to save Vegeta none other than the great Hercule. Buu try's to kill Hercule, but cannot because the Fat Buu inside of Kid Buu will not allow him. Kid Buu wages war with Fat Buu in his body and Vegeta goes to the re-born Earth ( earth was wished back and so were the people with the dragon balls from namek and Earth) and pleads with the people to raise their hands and give Goku their energy. But Vegeta being an unknown is ignored so he needs a real hero to make the people make the people do what is said. But at the same time Fat Buu is getting torn to shreds will Vegeta have enough time??? Find out on Dragon Ball Z!!!!

Summary: Possibly the best DBZ
Review: DBZ is almost finished. I think the dubbing in english has been excellent, and this VHS truly shows that. It may seem just like any other VHS to you, but its very special. First of all there is tons of fighting. Most DBZ movies show the z warriors just play around with their opponents, but in this, they actually fight to beat majin buu, and not just to toy with him. When Vegetto fought Buu I was so pissed off because Vegetto had 5 million oppurtunities to blast Buu into oblivion, but it seems Vegetto had to be overly stubborn and ruin that chance. Now its up to Goku. Vegeta is of no use, and Hercule is pretty much screwed. However Vegeta is why this VHS is one of the best. He talks about how Goku has always beaten him and finally starts to realize that Goku is the greatest warrior, and he actually talks to Goku like they are friends. Since the first saga Vegeta has been stubborn but it seems he has changed, and the English version is truly awesome. I have seen the Japenese version over the internet and Vegeta shows absolutely no emotion. But in this VHS he is willing to have his life erased from existance to beat buu, and shows he is the greatest warrior, mabye not in strength, but in will power. So go buy this VHS, if you like DBZ you will not be dissapointed

Summary: Finally, uncut DBZ
Review: Dragonball and Dragonball Z Series were the brainchild of Japanese comic book artist Akira Toriyama. Before the birth of Dragonball he was best known for a series called Dr. Slump. The Dragonball comic first appeared in Shonen Jump (a Japanese comic compilation) in 1984. An animated version, produced by Toei Animation, followed. The original Dragonball series was an adventure-comedy type, which usually involved a journey to collect the seven Dragonballs, which will grant a person any one wish within the power of the Eternal Dragon. A young boy named Goku, with super-human strength, traveled around with Bulma, a smart but spoiled girl who wanted the balls so she could wish for the perfect boyfriend. Along the way, Goku met many enemies, several of which became good friends. Late in Dragonball, Toriyama realized his audience wanted a more serious storyline, with the emphasis on action. It became just that when the series evolved into Dragonball Z in the late eighties. The new action-oriented series lasted until the mid nineties, and was a huge success in Japan and neighboring countries. After completing Z, Toriyama lost interest in the series, but Toei went on and created a new anime series continuing where Z left off (this is called Dragonball GT, but I refuse to recognize it as an official part of the series because Toriyama had no part in it.) In the mid nineties, the first few episodes of the original Dragonball were dubbed and aired in America, but the poor time slot, episode editing, and "Americanization" of the series made it a failure. Later on, they skipped to showing Dragonball Z in America, but everything wrong with the first series was still present. Finally, Cartoon Network began airing new episodes at a decent rate, and at long last the series was a hit here. Unfortunately, all the while these same flaws haunted the series. This DVD contains an uncut dub, and an uncut sub. Finally, we get to see the series the way it was meant to be seen, in all its original Japanese glory (pay the uncut dub no attention, the stupid dialogue makes it worthless compared to the Japanese version, which is pure gold.) However, the price of these uncut DVDs is outrageously high. You only get three (sometimes four) episodes, and there are NO EXTRAS. The uncut Sailor Moon DVDs contain TWICE as many episodes as they do, and they don't cost a whole lot more. If you want uncut DBZ, this DVD gives it to you, but it comes at a (high) price...

Summary: DBZ RULES!
Review: I have this DVD.It has two versions of english and japanese in which both are uncut.The Japanese has all the gore and bad language.It's ok if your mature.It's just not ok for little kids.It's for 13 and over.I like the Japanese version.There are three episodes.
Battle for the universe begins- With Majin Buu on the scene and ready to fight,Kibito Kai is stunned to see Goku and Vegeta playing a game of rock, paper, scisors! Goku was the lucky winner or has his luck ran out.
Vegeta's respect- Goku turns ssj3 and collapses. Then Vegeta steps in and is about to be killed by kid buu and Goku saves him.
Minute of desperation- The fight continues and Goku tells Vegeta he needs 60 seconds and Vegeta starts fighting Kid Buu. Can the Saiyan Prince manage to stay alive? If your a true DBZ fan buy this DVD.

Summary: The DBZ Era is da bomb!!
Review: I've been watching Dragonball Z ever since they showed the episodes when Goku was in the other world. Then, I started buying all the old episodes on DVD to see what happened during the past sagas like Frieza, Garlic Jr., Trunks, Androids & Cell (from his first appearance to the cell games). I even got DBZ: Budokai game on PS2. I hope that they are going to make part 2 that continues over to the Great Saiyaman, World Tournament, Babadi, Majin Buu, Fusion & Kid Buu sagas.

Summary: Imperfect, but enough to satisfy
Review: This DVD leaves me, a humble Z fan, with mixed reactions. First of all, the Kid Buu battle scene on the Kai planet from beginning to end is unquestionably the best fight scene in the Dragonball series, be it DBZ, DBGT or any movies (sorry Brolly, Super 17, Cell...). The episodes 265-269 of this DVD land in the middle of that scene. These eps basically salvage a saga that has little above a decent story and raise it to a level high above "cool." Regardless of the saga, most of the 270+ episodes in Z basically serve as a set up for the next one. The major strength of this DVD is that its contents break that trend; there's plenty of solid action in each one of the eps, making me eagerly anticipate the next one to see what follows--far more satisfying than watching each cheap "not enough happens" episode so as not to get behind in the story. Also, a major hit for the loyal fan is Vegeta's character development. Like him or not, Vegeta is probably the deepest character in the series, and his admitting the truth to his rival only adds to his personality. In addition, a nice touch is the ever-great English music, especially Kid Buu's theme. Audio, both voice and music, is certainly one area that the English DBZ blows its Japanese ancestor out of the water. Now for my complaints, albeit relatively minor ones:
1) Goku is perhaps the most shallow character in the series, being nothing more than the courageous hero, and these episodes don't do anything to alter that (Spoiler: If you expect this guy to change throughout the final Z episodes and the GT series, you will be disappointed). The only thing keeping Goku fresh is that he is the first to undergo any major transformation with the exeption of Gohan's coming to SS2.
2) Speaking of transformations, Super Saiyan 3 and Vegetto should have been saved to make these episodes untouchable rather than for meaningless debuts against the weaker Buu's. Even worse are the statements by Old Kai and also by Goku himself that Buu could've been defeated earlier by the two afformentioned transformations. It somewhat cheapens the entire Buu saga knowing that the good guys really had the upper hand the entire time and could've beaten this universe-threatening villain 50+ episodes ago; that's about three months on Cartoon Network without reruns, mind you. Also, it makes the plot additions of the annoying Gotenks and awesome Mystic Gohan feel tacked on just to draw the series out longer and ride its popularity.
3) I'm not a fan of the Spirit Bomb. Frankly, it makes the end of this terrific battle very predictable. After watching these eps, any DBZ fan can predict what will happen next, thus potentially lowering the incentive to buy the next DVD. This is a very weak point after seeing this battle's finale, however. It is a very dramatic ending that shouldn't be missed. My gripes do seem heavy and my complements brief, but honestly it should be the other way around. The Cell Saga and its prelude (Android Saga) are together the pinnacle of the DBZ series in terms of plot twists and overall storyline, but in terms of flat-out action, this DVD together with the next cannot be matched. These episodes will satisfy loyal fans, and, because of the emphasis on incredible action rather than story, might even turn some Z doubters into believers. A solid buy.
