The fourth Dragon Ball Z movie was released in 1991 under the title This Is the Super Saiya-jin, Son Goku. Goku and Krillin use their powers to deflect a giant asteroid from striking the Earth. But the asteroid is really the ship of the evil Lord Slug, who bullies Gohan and Bulma to get the Dragon Balls and obtain the eternal youth he desires. The newly regenerated Slug begins to "terrafreeze" Earth, killing inhabitants and transforming the planet into a gargantuan space vessel. During their inevitable duel, Goku learns that the now-gigantic Lord Slug is the last member of a race of "super Namek-jins." Goku eventually defeats him with some help from Gohan and Piccolo. For the U.S. release, Funimation has added an intrusive rock soundtrack--and five minutes of obnoxious commercials at the beginning of the tape. Unrated; suitable for ages 8 and up: Considerable cartoon violence, drug use. --Charles Solomon

 Seen the Japanese version on VHS and that was very good June 8, 2001

I have this movie on VHS, in Japanese. and I thought it was good, so it on DVD will probably be very good too. This takes place after Gokou had returned on Earth after the Freezer encounter on Namek. It deals with an evil Namek-jin who comes to earth, Planning to use earth as his new Planet Cruiser. Yes, a planet cruiser, they had figured out how to make the planets cruise around space. He was born on Namek, but sent away around the same time Piccolo did, except he landed on the Planet Slug. Thanks to being raised on that planet, he and the rest of his teams couldnt take the sunlight, because Slug was a dark planet. So they first had a machine that took away the sunlight, which would end up killing most all life on Earth and also used the Dragonballs to make him young again. But it also turns out that he's a Super Namek-jin, like Piccolo, a mutated one because he can grow taller than the buildings on earth. But Piccolo is able to find his weakness, because Piccolo has the same weakness..... but dont worry, I'm not going to spoil the ending for you all.
 Well-drawn animation, and an easy-to-understand plot! December 24, 2001

The fourth DBZ movie, Lord Slug was originally released in Japan under the title "Super Saiya-Jin Gokuu" but was changed into Lord Slug after being dubbed into English and released in the U.S.A. This movie is a bit shorter than the others, but it is still good. I love the first song, besides the theme, played on this movie, I was "playing the music" in my head 'cause it was so cool. It wasn't all that funny when Gohan and Higher Dragon annoyed Piccolo in the beginning, but it was a little. This movie practically gets right to the point, basically right after that scene the movie gets down to business. First we see a so-called "computer simulation" of a giant meteor destroying the planet, then some more kick ... music starts to play and it shows Goku and Krillin trying to deflect the asteroud with their Kamehameha beams fused together (I'm not telling what happens to the asteroid). Let's jump forward to after Goku starts fighting Lord Slug, now, Slug gets him enraged and Goku gets really strong, people say that he went Super Saiyan but actually Goku never goes Super Saiyan until DBZ movie 5 (which is Cooler's Revenge). Still, the way Goku charged like a bull straight at Lord Slug was really cool, but after that, then it wasn't cool again until Goku was back on his feet after a thorough ...-whoopin' from Slug and powers up a Kaio-Ken attack. Unlike the first three movies, Goku sounds like he does in the series. It's kind of disappointing to hear Goku raged up in the first three DBZ movies 'cause he kinda sounds like a girl. The Super Saiyan transformation was great (it's easier just to call it Super Saiyan, so let's do just that, 'kay?) and he looked cool with waving black hair, red shadowing (his hair, I mean) and his pupils cannot be seen. Some people say it looks stupid, but I think it looks fairly cool. All in all, this was a great DBZ movie and you should buy it right away.Oh yeah, that first song besides the theme that I was talking about, it is by Finger Eleven and it is called Drag You Down.
The best DBZ movie since Tree of Might! August 25, 2001

I really liked the beginning when Gohan and Ickeras were dancing and Piccolo was getting annoyed, it was just funny. I still can't believe that Lord Slug is a Namek, that just surprised me greatly. He's a Super-Namek who was banished from his planet because he was getting too consumed by his power. So now he's come to Earth, and it's the Z Fighters' job to stop him. I really thought it was funny when Lord Slug punched Krillin in the air and Krillin said "HE'S ALL YOURS GOKU!" In the end I bet you can guess what happens.
