As I, CYD, the Dragon Ball guru, have said before, this is simply a REVERSIONing by FUNimation. Though Pioneer released edited only episodes, their DBZ movies were UNCUT. I know for a fact because I own the Pioneer DVD ans it has English and Japanese audio, that you can even switch back and forth during video play. FUNimation is just redubbing it and replacing the original Japanese soundtrack that Pioneer left alone. You can buy the Pioneer version right now, probably for less than ten dollars. It IS UNCUT, (on the back cover it says UNCUT THETRICAL MOVIE). Seriously folks, this is just a newer version of the same movie coming out.

I bought the Pioneer version of this a few months before this one came out. The movie was very good, but I didn't like the voices at all and the picture quality was simply awful. But, with this version of it, they use the FUNimation voices, with new music and a new script, which I like better than the Pioneer script. (Which was actually the Japanese script.)

Many people like the Pioneer version over this one becquse they used the Japenese music and dialouge. However, if you want that, just watch the Japenese version of it, on this DVD. (Pioneer always had poor subtitles on their DVD's, but FUnimation always gets the subtitles right.) Also, this is the digitally remastered version, and it looks very, very good.

I'm so glad they're finally releasing the Ultimate Uncut editions. Pioneer took and butchered a great series, cutting the climactic Goku Vegeta battle into utter crap, and ruined the great Namek saga. Finally, we'll see these episodes, (and movies-World's Strongest and Tree of Might are also being re-released) the way they were meant to be seen.

I can hardly wait for the new Dead Zone redub by FUNImation. It should be cooler to hear the FUNI actors provide the voices, as I personally think they did better at the voices than the original Ocean Group actors.

Besides, it will be great to collectors such as myself. Along with the eventual re-releases of "The World's Strongest" and "Tree of Might", it will finally have some continuation of voices. I always hated it when they replace actors on cartoons, as it throws off the whole state of mind that was previously established. Smart move to FUNImation for redoing the first three movies along with the first two sagas! It's gonna rule!

this is the first Dragonball-Z movie Dead Zone.not the best movie but still pretty good. Funimation has now re-dubbed it, digitally remastered and restored the scenes edited by pioneer. hopefully movies 2 and 3 will follow along with the saiyan and namek sagas which are now being re-released without all the editing that pioneer originally did and with the funimation voice cast voicing the characters.

This movie is great. I love it. I have the real version on dvd, but this is still a great movie. My favorite part was when gohan unleashed his hidden power and sent garlic jr. in to the dead zone. That sucks that this movie is the new version, but i suggest this movie to your collection.

I love how FUNImation is re-releasing the first three movies to go along with the new Saiyan/Vegeta and Namek sagas. I can hardly wait for Dead Zone to come out. It is a good movie and is the only movie to have some continuity with the series.

Yes, FUNI might replace the music with their own. My question is...so what? The movie will have a different soundtrack, big deal! I love the English dub better than the subtitled version anyway. I watched a couple of my DVDs in Japanese and it just got irritating for me after a couple of episodes. And from the original English version, the only voices I like out of them was Piccolo (voiced by Scott McNeill) and Vegeta (voiced be Brian Drummond). And still, I like Chris Sabat's interpretation better than them!

If you want to buy it when it comes out, then buy it. If you don't, then don't. But me, when it comes out, I'm buying it.

This was at one point a decent DBZ anime movie. However, Funimation feels that in addition to changing voice actors, they needed to change the music and dialogue as well. The original music, from the Pioneer version, was much more energetic and well timed. Also: while Gohan's song was slightly annoying and in a language inaccessable to many people throughout the world, it's still better than Gohan laughing inanely. If you wish to purchase this, buy the Pioneer version.

I bought the movie last saturday and i watched when i got home. I thoguht it was better than the original movie because it's the way it was supposed to be made. I always say, "The original is the best, unless it's uncut." After I watched the movie, I watched the commentary. I'm a hard person to make laugh, but the commentary people got me to laugh. I would recommend getting this movie if you've seen the first one. I would also recommend this to any person who hasn't seen this movie before so they can see it the way it was meant to be seen. It is definitely worth the money buying this movie.

This is the first dragon ball z movie. I am sorry kid that reveiwed this befor me this is not movie 11:bio broly.
In this movie garlic jr is searching for the dragon balls and kidnaps gohan. But unfourtunently for garlic jr goku finds him. After teaming up with piccolo and having a long fight garlic jr decides to use his trump card and opens the portal to the dead zone. How will piccolo,goku,krilen(forgot to mention krilen comes in to help goku)and gohan survive the only way to find out is to get this dvd. Or you can get the one released by pioneer it is uncut(as far as i know)but i dont think you can get japanese audio. and funimation has updated the sound and picture quality. Its up to you. p.s. forgive any incorrect spelling.
