4.0 out of 5 stars Cool movie-intros two new characters into the series as well, March 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is really great movie! Nice animation, and neat plot, along with two new characters. I noticed though that the dialogue is a little 'low volumed' in a few spots (only in the Dubbed version-the Subtitled version doesn't have this problem.) Probably from the sound studio mikes-no big deal. Its still easy to make out what they're saying. Plus, the movie moves on quite quickly. So fast in fact that the whole thing is about 42 minutes in length. So note the quick moving plot... I like the fact that they put them out in two versions. Uncut may be a LITTLE (not much) more explicit, but I think it describes the character's personalities better. For example-Kame Sennin's (Roshi-if you're familiar with the English version) perverted disposition-not shown nearly as much if its edited. All in all though, a GREAT movie! I hope they continue putting the rest of the episodes of the original Dragon Ball out, because FUNimation is about 119 episodes behind! Oh well.

4.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT MOVIE... (but the plot finishes TOO quickly)!!!!!!!!, August 5, 2000

The reason I give this movie a four-star rating is because whenever Goku turns into a giant ape, instead of making the scene a lot longer Puar turns into a pair of siccors and cuts his tail without a problem!!!!????!!!!!

Anyway, this movie is a great selection if you like the "Dragon Ball" series. If you like "Curse of the Blood Rubies" and "Secret of the Dragon Ball" (volume #1)then you'll love this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action-packed, often hilarious fun!, September 27, 2005

This review is from: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was the second Dragonball movie released during the series' Japanese TV run. This, like the previous DB is a re-telling of pivotal moments in the Dragonball TV series. The story re-tells Goku met Krillin and how the two boys began their training under the wise "Turtle Hermit", Master Roshi. In the movie, Master Roshi sends Goku and Krillin out to a spooky castle at the Devil's Hand to retrive a "Sleeping Princess" in return for martial arts training. As they arrive, Goku's friends are captured by the castle's residents. Lucifer, and Igor and both he and Krillin must save Bulma from being used as an involuntary blood donor and prevent Lucifer from blowing up the sun and overturning the Earth with monsters.
