With every Dragonball Z movie, there's one unparalleled fight. Bojack Unbound is among the 13 movies that had a big fight... could have been a little more but being under 60 minutes, I can't complain. Action, comedy and a feeling of exactly how big a fighting arena is. It was great how so many characters appeared (including one intimidating scene between Bulma and Chi-Chi). Mr. Satan (Hercule) intent on holding on to the World Championship.

I wasn't all that impressed with Bojack Unbound. While many dbz fans would scream murder over this. I'm just saying that this wasn't as good as it should have been. Let's face it, if your going to drop 20 or more on an anime dvd. It had better live up to the hype. Bojack was a throw away villian. Who didn't really seem to have any idea of what he was doing. All he did well was kill his minions. I didn't like this at all and the only good thing about this was future Trunks and Vegita. Not a good reason to buy anything. Unless it's a dvd about them. over all there are far better ways to get your dbz fix. save your money unless you find this really cheap.
Had I reviewed this 2 years ago I would have given it 2 stars at the most. But I've come to appreciate this movie alot. For the simple fact this one could have actually fit in the storyline after the Cell Saga and before the Great Saiyaman. This one takes place after Goku's death and Cell's defeat. Mr. Satan hosts a tournament that is eventually sabotaged by a group who wants to take over the planet. The villian Bojack and his crew engage in an all out battle with the Z- fighters. All the stories in DBZ is pratically the same. Its just the action that people really care for and Bojack Unbound doesn't disappoint. The dvd has a few trailers. Also some weird commercial that cant be skipped unless you have a X-Box. This is a very good DBZ movie. Its not too long and it gets straight to the point.
INTRODUCTION: The Dragon Ball Z series is one of the finest animes out there, as any fan of Japanese animation will tell you. The series has a "love it or hate it" reputation, but those fans who get into the series are totally immersed by it for a number of reasons. Young people love the series for the fast-paced action and adventure, while older fans enjoy it for the sheer number of characters, and the way they are developed and evolve over the course of time. It's no wonder the series is considered Akira Toriyama's magnum opus, and by far the best of the three Dragon Ball series. When Toei animation made Dragon Ball into an anime, they didn't copy Toriyama's mangas verbatim. They added in many sagas and plot elements not in the manga, often as a result so that the manga and anime were released at the same pace. Toei even created movies based on the series! There were thirteen movies, two television specials, and one OVA/OAV. While not usually canon to the storyline, they are an undeniable part of the Dragon Ball Z franchise that can't be ignored.
OVERVIEW: This is the ninth of the thirteen Dragon Ball Z movies.
THE STORY: The Cell Game has ended and Goku has died. Peace has returned to the world, at least temporarily. Future Trunks has returned from the future with the announcement that his timeline is now safe. Everything seems great.
But not for long.
When Goku teleported Cell to King Kai's planet and destroyed it, he destroyed a seal that was holding prisoner some of the deadliest warriors in the galaxy. This deadly group is lead by the space pirate Bojack. While the Z Fighters participate in a tournament organized by a millionaire for his son's birthday, Bojack invades, and soon the world is in a deadly struggle all over again.
REVIEW OF STORY: Not bad. With Goku dead, he can't hog the spotlight anymore. And Gohan does a great job taking his place in the struggle against evil. While I admit that the plot here is a bit generic when talking about the movies, the truth is that having Gohan as the main character rather than Goku greatly makes up for this. There are some great fights in this movie, as well as plenty of comical moments. Definitely worth adding to your collection.
OFFICIAL? This is a rare example of a Dragon Ball Z movie that rather conveniently fits into the series chronology. It could very well have taken place following the Cell Game and Future Trunks' return to the present for a brief period. I don't consider it official because the story wasn't in the original manga, but you be the judge.
REVIEW OF DVD: All of FUNimation's Dragon Ball Z DVDs are pretty much the same as far as content goes. There is no bonus content, unless you consider the obligatory trailers on the DVD to be bonus material. And honestly, I could have lived without them. Some more recent DVDs have character profiles, though these are lacking and could have been written better. Why couldn't get get interviews with cast and crew, or trivia/facts, something like that? FUNimation has a lot of room to improve on the DVDs.
THE DUBBED VERSION: Lots of people tend to bash FUNimation's dub of the Dragon Ball Z series? Why? It's inaccurate and sometimes just plain stupid. They can do good dubbed versions for plenty of other animes, such as Full Metal Alchemist, but every time they've tried dubbing Toriyama's classic, they butcher it to hell. The nu metal they put in as background music only further defiles the original series. Stick with the uncut subbed track.
OVERALL: Overall this is a solid movie. Not my favorite but still pretty damn good. Don't hesitate to give this one a viewing if you're a fan of the series!
EDITION NOTES: It was released in edited and uncut versions. Do I even have to say it? Get uncut. And watch the subtitled Japanese version.
I brought this movie and thought that it would be like the other ones but it was not. Don't get me wrong this is a great movie but I realzied some things they did that they didn't do in the other movies. First of all I was surprised to see Hurcules skin darker normaly it's lighter. Secound of all they put in minor swear words in one scean Trunks uses the H word after he starts fighting one of the final fighters. Im not sure why they did that but hey Dragon Ball Z has swaring in it sometimes. The movie is about when the Z fighters go to a tourtment and enter a humongus fight were the last 4 opents stading will go to the finals. Gohan, Trunks, Vegeta, and Krillin make it to the finals and must fight the opents know from another world but are realy Bojacks heachman. Soon after meating Bojack Krillin, Vegeta, and Trunks are dafeated and only Gohan is left after Gohan is nearly at death he Goku was watching the whole thing on telvision and brakes the rules of Heavn to help Gohan. After Gohans standing agian is only task left is to deafeat Bojack and this is no game. This movie is good but I was expecting a little more action and fighting. This is a good movie but Lord Slug and Broly are better this ones good but check out a few others if you are looking for lots of action.
