Storyline

Trivia
This is the first Dragon Ball Z movie in which Master Roshi actually fights. However, it would be 25 years later before he would fight again, in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' (2015).

Goofs
The film is set after the battle with the Saiyans, yet Piccolo is alive. He was killed by Nappa. Only further adding to the plot hole is the fact that Gohan's "I Love Mr. Piccolo" scene actually shows Piccolo's death scene.

Quotes
Gohan (AB Groupe dub): All this, you did it! And you had no right! You're evil!
[Gohan fires a energy wave blast knocking Dr. Kochin to the floor]
Dr. Kochin (AB Groupe dub): Ah ah ah!
Dr. Willow (AB Groupe dub): Now that's what I call a real power!
Gohan (AB Groupe dub): Now you'll answer for all the evil you did to my friend!
Dr. Kochin (AB Groupe dub): Ha ha ha, little one you're no bigger then my cane. You don't scare us!
Dr. Willow (AB Groupe dub): No! Stop! Don't make him even more furious!
Gohan (AB Groupe dub): Yes, I am little but I can send you to Hell!

Alternate versions
The old TV version that was once aired on Cartoon Network (based on the Ocean English dub) was edited for profanity and sexual humor but not for violence.

Who is the strongest fighter in the world...

Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest is my favorite dragon ball z movie. The animation is smooth, the fights are awesome, and it's just an all around fun film to watch.

The world's strongest takes place somewhere before namek but after vegeta. Doctor Wheelo is a bio-scientist and together with his assistant ko-chin, they plan to take the body of the most powerful being on earth and use it as a vessel for doctor wheelo's genius brain.

The story as far as anime goes is passable, but in comparison to film in general, it's kinda ridiculous. But hey, i don't watch dragon ball z for story. I like it cuz of the crazy fights and fun characters. The World's Strongest delivers this. Goku, Krillin, Piccolo, Master Roshi and Gohan are all in top form. The fights here are great, and as mentioned before, have fluid animation. The voices are are alright but some of the dialogue is annoying. The music is classic original DBZ, which i dislike very much actually. Thankfully there isn't too much of it And i didn't enjoy the dream sequence where gohan falls asleep while doing homework. Oh well, still a great movie. I highly recommend this movie if you are a fan of dragon ball z. Nonfans will be lost and probably unhappy with it, but for real fans, you can't find any better than this.
