![]() As the others at ground level take cover, the Earth’s atmosphere goes to work. Goku and Krillin are thrust aside and it looks like the planet won’t be spared a direct impact. They unleash twin Kamehameha attacks that entwine and then combine into one super Kamehameha wave, but it seems to have little effect on the onrushing planet. As the whole world prepares for Dooms Day, Goku (Sean Schemmel) and Krillin (Sonny Strait) fly up to meet it. Instead of the usual, a super-powered being only the Z Fighters can sense, it’s actually a giant, frozen, planet that’s on a collision course with Earth.

When it comes to the fourth Dragon Ball Z feature, Lord Slug, I’m actually just now sitting down and watching it for the first time. They vary in quality to some degree, but all three have made for some good entertainment. In spite of that though, I’ve very much enjoyed revisiting the first three films. They’re good fun and all, but they’re so simple and derivative that they hardly seem worth praise. Going into this, I didn’t have the highest opinion of Dragon Ball Z movies.
