4.0 out of 5 stars In an attempt to clear up any confusion..., May 13, 2003

This review is from: Dragonball Z, Trunks: Prelude to Terror (DVD)

I ordered this DVD ...just last week, and I am happy to report I received the 5 episode DVD. There is a lot of different information in the previous reviews as to just how many episodes this DVD will contain...specifically, will you get the 3 episode edition that "forgets" to include 109-110 (2 great eps in my opinion...great background/character driven episodes)

Well, I called the source...Funi. According to the rep there, this DVD was officially re-released about 6 months ago, and they are now ONLY distributing the 5 episode version. ...P>AS far as the DVD itself, the Trunks saga is probably my favorite to date (of course, I am relatively new to this DBZ craze)...the DVD is done well, not a lot of frills, but hey, it's packed with 5 episodes. And it's a great lead in to the Androids Saga (available ...as a box set...also a great view)

Hope this helped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite DBZ Episodes - But this disc does not have all 5, January 4, 2004

This review is from: Dragonball Z, Trunks: Prelude to Terror (DVD)

I bought this DVD expecting to receive the later version with all 5 episodes like other customers who wrote reviews did. However, about a week before christmas I received it and it only had 3 episodes on it. I was very disappointed and sent it back and purchased it somewhere else that had the copy with all 5 episodes. Amazon was fair regarding the return and is suppose to reimburse me - even for the return shipping. Just make sure you call or verify somehow that the copy you are purchasing has all 5 episodes if that's what you are looking for.

The Trunks saga is by far some of mine and my sons favorite episodes. Definetly a must have for any DBZ fan.

This review is from: Dragonball Z, Trunks: Prelude to Terror (DVD)

I just received my DVD from Amazon a few days ago and I am glad to say it is the new version that includes all 5 episodes 106-110. I am writing this review to update the info posted by Amazon which appears to be out of date. This is one of my favorite DBZ DVDs to date because of the variety. There is not much fighting, but after the mind numbing repetitiveness of the earlier Frieza series, where they managed to stretch a 5 minute battle over several DVDs, this is a very welcome break.

This is the correct info from the back of my DVD
TRUNKS - Prelude to Terror [Ep. 106, 107, 108, 109, 110]

Welcome Back Goku - After handily beating Frieza and his evil father, King Cold, the mysterious stranger announces the exact time and place of Goku's arrival on Earth. But can this young Super-Saiyan predict the future?! Gohan and the others are determined to find out!

Mystery Revealed - After testing Goku in combat, the mysterious stranger reveals his true identity! But what does his timely arrival portend?! In a startling conversation with Goku, this powerful emissary from the future tells all!

Goku's Special Technique - The future has been written -- or has it? That's what Goku and the rest of the Z Fighters must decide as they learn of Trunks' ominous warning. The Androids are coming! And they just might be bringing the end of the world along with them!

Z Warriors Prepare - Gohan's learning some new tricks. Vegeta is pushing himself to the breaking point, and Yamcha's struggling just to keep up as everyone prepares to face the looming Android menace! But will all of these preparations be enough?

Goku's Ordeal - Chi-Chi wants a car! And Goku must take a day off from training to enroll in driving school! These two mighty warriors may be the Earth's only chance of survival, but what are the chances they'll learn how to parallel park?
