Originally released in 1991, the fifth Dragon Ball Z feature (a.k.a. Tobikkiri no Saikyou tai Saikyou--"Fantastic Ultimate Strength vs. Ultimate Strength") involves the characters from the TV episodes, but in an unrelated continuity. Goku and Gohan set off on a camping trip with Krillin and Oolong, but their outing turns into a battle royal when they're attacked by the minions of Cooler, Frieza's older brother. Piccolo appears as a Nameck ex machina to aid Gohan, but the centerpiece of the film is the battle between Goku in his Super-Saiyan form and Cooler, who looks like a purple iguana in a football uniform. The various Dragon Ball properties balance slapstick and fantastic action; Cooler's Revenge offers lots of action, and a rock soundtrack, but little comedy. Unrated: Suitable for ages 8 and up; contains cartoon violence. --Charles Solomon

 One of the best DBZ movies ever made ! 'Nuff said ! February 18, 2002

I wasn't very pleased with the fourth DBZ movie, because of the flat out dry plot and Goku's so-called Super Saiyan transformation. When I heard that the fifth DBZ movie "Cooler's Revenge" is about to come to our shores, I already knew from the start that it would be even better than the four early DBZ movies, because I already seen movie clips of it and read countless reviews about it. Finally, I own one, and believe me, I wasn't disappointed at all. The DVD menus were great ! Better than the ones seen on "The History of Trunks" and "Lord Slug". When I selected the play option, I was introduced to a way better DBZ movie with better animation, deep plot, and amazing fighting scenes. The movie starts off when Bardcok and the rest of Planet Vegeta were destroyed by Frieza's death ball (as seen in Bardock: The Father of Goku). Frieza's older brother, Cooler and his armored squadron were watching Planet Vegeta explode into smitherines. While the ball was slowly falling on the planet, Cooler's squadron spotted a Saiyan pod with a baby Saiyan in it. It was Kakarot, soon to be named Goku ! The squadron was about to shoot it down, but Cooler stopped them and suggested that his brother should take care of it himself. Years after Frieza was killed by Goku's enormous powers, Cooler heard the news by Salza and the rest of his crew. Cooler didn't care about Frieza's death nor does he want to avenge his death, he just wants to get back at the man who stomped all over his family pride. And that man is none other than Goku. When Goku, Gohan, Oolong, Icarus, and Krillin go on a camping trip, they found themselves surrounded by Cooler's armored squadron. It's up to Goku to stop Frieza's brother, Cooler from causing destruction to Earth. Well, I can't spoil any surprises, but I can give you a few pointers on how this movie is like. First off, the plot is much, much, much deeper and much more interesting than that of "Lord Slug". The animation is even slicker and brighter than the other DBZ movies that I've ever seen. No other DBZ movie has ever looked this great. The voice acting still remains the same. Simply put...slightly weird, and pretty cool ! I really liked the English voice actor who played Cooler. It's a good thing they didn't use a woman's voice to play as him. The voice actor who played as Salza, sounds like a wannabe mexican gangster. That's what FUNimation always does. Every weird or cool looking character they see, they will give them a weird accent like a French, British, Scottish, or even a Mexican accent. That's just plain out stupid, but I have no problem with it. It's not really that much of a problem. If it continues to go out of control, I will get sick of it. But as of now, it's okay ! The most amazing aspect to this movie are the transformations. When Cooler goes to his final state of transformation, his body nearly resembles that of a samurai warrior without the swords and gadgets. And finally, Goku transforms into a real Super Saiyan. And no, the fourth movie wasn't the first to ever have the Super Saiyan feature. "Cooler's Revenge" is the first DBZ movie to ever have the Super Saiyan transformation scene, and Goku looks well animated when he transforms into a Super Saiyan. And as always, the action is definently eye catching, especially the part when Salza and Piccolo battle it out inside the tree area of the forest. It's like watching a samurai anime, only with flying techiniques and the use of special abilities. The ending was great. Although appearing to be a bit average, it's perfect. The only thing I hated about the movie was the Spanish version. I'm not saying that I'm racist towards Mexicans, but the opening and closing music they translated, sounded weird. That's pretty much it. So in conclusion of this review, this is the far by, the best DBZ movie ever created. If you're thinking about seeing DBZ in a whole new level, look no further than "Cooler's Revenge".
DBZ The Movie #5: Cooler's Revenge December 12, 2001
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is the first of two movies starring Frieza's brother, Cooler. In Japan, it is called The Best of Strongest vs. Strongest, but, as you can see in America it is called Cooler's Revenge. In this movie, we first see Cooler in his first (or perhaps third) transformation, looking almost exactly like Frieza's final form. Two of Cooler's transformations have never been seen before. So when he transforms in this movie to reveal a stronger and more lean Cooler, this form may also be his final. Cooler has five forms, and, like I said a couple of them have never been seen. I've seen only three of his forms. I strongly believe that the first transformation that we see Cooler in at the beginning is his first form. Well, this form is blue and is wearing a white "helmet" kind of thing. His second form wears a mask covering most of his face, so only his red eyes are seen. This form is purple and white, but with his mask on Cooler looks kind of like Imperfect Cell, only not green with spots. Most of the people have seen the cover to Cooler's Revenge and the guy on the front, as you probably know, is Cooler in his second form (the one I am talking about right now). Cooler's third form looks exactly like his first only it is red. Go to www.pojo.com/dragonball if you want to find out more about what Cooler looks like.
 Whoops January 9, 2002

I made a couple of particularly embarrassing gaffes in my last review, so allow me to reiterate.DBZ Movie #5 is actually one of the better installments in the hit-or-miss DBZ Movie series, even with Goku spending most of the film injured. Highlights include Gohan's meeting with Karin and Yajirobe, Goku taking out Cooler's personal Ginyu team, and a certain green-skinned guest star who makes an appearance. Still, I must confess I can't stand the marketing behind these movies. I originally thought the first three movies had been released with their original box art and titles, but I was informed that this was not the case. However, that doesn't change the fact that "Cooler's Revenge" is still a stupid title. Cooler shows up again in Movie #6, so what are they gonna call that? "The Revenge of Cooler's Revenge"? And that box art just screams "ugly". Anyway, if you don't have 20+ hours to spend following a 300-part storyline, give this movie a try for a quick and enjoyable beginning, middle, and end.
The Best DBZ Movie Ever February 12, 2002
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
In the early days, Pioneer released three Dragonball movies. Now, FUNimation has tried they're hand at DBZ movies. Lord Slug wasn't that entertaining, but Cooler's Revenge is by far the best DBZ movie ever made.Content: A
Japanese Version: B+
English Version: A-
Spanish Version: B+
Music: A (dub), B+ (sub)
Animation: A
Fight Scenes: A The story starts off with when Frieza destroys Planet Vegeta. Cooler watches from a distance and decides to let the fleeing Kakarrot go. Fast forward to the time after Frieza is killed by Goku. Cooler, infuriated by hearing of his brother's death, decides to go to Earth and put an end to Goku. After his boys make quick work of Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan, it is up to Goku to defeat Cooler. The movie moves at a fairly fast pace. What I enjoyed the most was the explosive fight scenes. There is tons of action here. One of my favorites is when Cooler pushes his way through Goku's Kamehameha wave and then pops out and punches him. Very nice. The English version features hard rock music by various artists like Disturbed and Deftones. Given the choice between FUNimation TV dub music and the rock music, the choice is obvious. I think it fits the action pretty well. For those of you who dislike the English version, the inclusion of the Japanese dub AND Spanish dub will more than tide you over to buy this title. Overall, Cooler's Revenge is pretty much the best 45 minutes movie you will ever see. Lots of action and lots of great animation.
