Usually I'm pretty quick about picking up the films as soon as they're released (ZStore), but I've been broke lately so a friend of mine and I had to trade in some old games and DVD's for cash to pick Wrath of the Dragon up at Best Buy. The film, as mentioned before, seemed slightly too dramatic than it needed to be, but overall it was a pretty good dub of the Japanese film; "The Dragon Fist Assault"--average music (too light for battle, if you ask me), an excellent voice for Tapion, and some of the actors' voices sounded a bit shabby (Sabat).
"Long ago, an evil magician used his powers to bring a statue to life, creating the monster Hirudigarn! It was only through the use of two magic whistles that Hirudigarn was defeated and peace returned to the galaxy. Two courageous brothers, Tapion & Minosha, took control of the whistles and sealed them along with their own bodies in magic boxes, which were cast out into the galaxy so Hirudigarn could never be revived again. But when a mysterious stranger Hoy arrives on Earth with the secret of Hirudigarn's revival, the Z Fighters must turn to Tapion himself to answer Hoy's dangerous threats. Tapion has once before sacrificed his well-being to save the universe. With Hirudigarn destroying everything in sight Goku, Trunks & Goten must battle like never before to save the planet."
What I want to know is who wrote that description. Since when do Trunks & Goten play such big parts in the story? Even for a movie description it seems a bit over overstated to me. I mean, as SS3, Gotenks was more powerful than Goku & Vegeta, but Gohan was supposed to be stronger than all of them. There are far too many plotholes & inconsistencies following Toriyama's later sagas.
According to Toriyama: Mystic Gohan > SS3 Gotenks > SS3 Goku > SS2 Vegeta > Piccolo > (SS Trunks > SS Goten - who are also obsolete)
So how is it that a fusion of SS3 lasting 30 minutes (which only lasted 2 minutes before being split from surface impact) inflicted more damage to Hirudigarn than an Elder Kai power up, which was supposedly a power far greater than SS3 (even a fusion)? I mean, Gohan hardly put up a fight. And what was Vegeta doing the entire film? Doing latenight paperwork at Capsule Corp? "It's my first day off in a month!" Yeah that's hilarious. Vegeta the business man. In any case, I was disappointed Piccolo wasn't in this film, either. I'd suggest replacing Piccolo with Goten & Trunks (at least on the battle field). But I suppose watching children get a smack down is also occasionally amusing. The film's ending was actually quite great, Goku's "Dragon Fire" was apparently the greatest attack in the show.
Anyone else watch this yet?
