Dragon Ball Z Movie 11: Super Senshi Gekiha!! Katsu no wa Ore da

Holy crap, a great Dragon Ball movie out of nowhere!

What do you get when you take the plot of a gore-heavy sci-fi B-movie and put it in the world of Dragon Ball? You get a movie where a rich snob, basically Augustus St. Cloud from Venture Bros., challenges world-famous "hero" Mr. Satan to a duel as revenge for ruining his childhood, and then sics a bunch of ooze-covered bio-warriors on him. And then Broly comes back, this time in the form of a clone covered in ooze, and he looks like Swamp Thing.

This is everything I want out of an action-packed anime movie, and ... I had no idea I'd be getting it out of the, what, eleventh one of these stupid things? The movie is filled with fighting and action and danger but it's not all about one overly-powerful buff dude beating everyone up; instead, it focuses on the bizarre sci-fi elements, which includes a lot of gross-out horror with dudes getting melted by acid and stuff. Thankfully (sadly?) it's not graphic at all, and the movie is more geared towards the ridiculous humor of it all.

What kind of Dragon Ball movie has a cast like this? Our main heroes are... wait for it... Goten, Trunks, Mr. Satan, and... Android 18? Krillin makes an appearance too, but other than that, we don't have any of the usual cast coming in here and turning things into a monotonous punchfest.

Crazy good stuff, and I might recommend it even more highly on a rewatch. Since it's just 46 minutes long including credits, it's also a zippy-fast watch, and the first one since Dead Zone I can recommend with zero caveats. We've got a few more DBZ movies to go, and I have high hopes for Fusion Reborn based on my knowledge of it, but Bio-Broly could end up being the tops, and that's crazy.

As for the timeline, this is a direct sequel to the previous Broly movie, featuring some of the same plot threads and apparently taking place very shortly afterwards. It would also be set shortly before the Budokai Tenkaichi though Mr. Satan's prominent role makes it a bit suspect considering how shocked he was about having to duel one of these two kids during the tournament. Once again it can't be "canon" because of the Super Broly movie, but "canon" is stupid anyway.

This Dragon Ball Z movie was very unnecessary, i'm very positive Akira Toriyama was going through mid-life crisis and needed money badly, so voilà! I present to you Swamp Monster! I mean Bio-Broly! What is the point of bringing back Broly if you're literally going to make him walking fecal-matter! I should have watched this movie in Japanese and without subtitles just so I didn't have to worry about missing any important piece to the movie, because literally story is not a thing here. Toriyama looked up to the sky, shed a tear and said "Lord, do not smite me for what I have bestowed ... on the people who made me successful and is the reason why I sleep comfortably and eat every night and day, but muah! muah! My latest masterpiece! A silver platter of spicy sh*t!" I have not seen a larger disaster since the 2010 BP Oil Spill, or even worse, shall I even say it, the birth of Jaden Smith. Goku, our lord and savior wasn't even in the film, and i'm sure he couldn't have saved this catastrophe of a DBZ movie. Goku shows up at the very last few seconds of the movie and is shown eating. That's about it, just eating. I'm sure Toriyama only added that last scene of Goku eating because that is what they think us "Westerners" can relate to. Eating. Well Toriyama, i'm ending this on the note of saying that I am appalled that you created this movie and i'm shocked to see that you didn't make this a hentai film because that is another stereotype of your western fans. No, not all of us eat a lot and no, not all of us touch ourselves to animated drawings doing obscene things like getting penetrated by 8 ft tentacles! At least you got that one right, good thing you have loyal fans because i'm sure if they weren't loyal you'd be creating mediocre flash "dress up games" like "Dress up Selena Gomez" or "Dress up Whoopi Goldberg!" Anyway, this has been a Clams review. Barely. I can't review a 40 minute milked movie with no story or good characters. If you'd like me to review anything just message me.

Bio Broly, the final Z movie containing him is by far the worst of a shitty batch, and genuinely one of the worst action moves to have plagued my senses. There is pretty much nothing I liked about this movie, and many many things I disliked. It really looks like they ran completely dry of any semblence of an interesting idea to put here. Our cast in this movie is boring, and I didn't like the treatment of any of our characters. This movie does not look good, and it has no memorable soundtracks.

The plot is somehow possibly the most braindead yet. Mr. Satan is ... blackmailed by a kid he fought and beat back in summer camp, and threatens to reveal the fact that Satan wet his pants as a child. To stop this from happening, Satan travels to an Island where artificially created bio monsters wait to jump him. Tagging along is Android 18, who wants money from Satan- along with Goten and Trunks.
Here's the twist: The shaman from the village that Goten and Trunks saved last movie has retrieved DNA from Broly's body and managed to resurrect him into a literal walking steaming pile of yellow shit. Why, you might ask, did this wonderful character make a return for revenge? His entire motive for doing so is because Goten and Trunks stopped the Shaman from sacraficing the village kids to the dinosaur. Brilliant.

The fight itself is really boring, apart from a couple moments of Goten and Trunks teaming together. Android 18 doesn't really do anything, and has to be saved by Krillin. They defeat Broly by splashing him with sea water. That's his fucking weakness. THE FIGHT TAKES PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN.

Terrible movie, I don't see how anyone would enjoy watching this. Not reccomended.
