“Dragonball Z: Wrath of the Dragon (1995)” movie review.

"Dragonball Z: Wrath of the Dragon" is... different, and not in the way that "Fusion Reborn" was different- where it felt like the filmmakers were subtly adapting a 'Goku x Vegeta' slash fanfiction while tripping out on drugs. This one just has different priorities, toning down fighting for the sake of fleshing out and developing its primary character.

"Dragonball Z: Super Android 13!" is the only serial film that doesn't just ignore the established continuity...It urinates acid onto it, creating holes that will mind rape us fans.

"Dragonball Z: The World's Strongest" isn't terrible, as it does boast some memorably cool moments, but the writing, animation and even the voice acting quality seems lazy compared to its predecessor.
