The Premonition to become a Reality... - Stitcho
This is a very well made movie, although fairly short it is concise and well made...Shows Goku's father (at the time when Goku was just born) and his natural tendancy to becoming one of the stronger and better Saiyan fighters, which is bothersome to Frieza and adds to his concern about the Saiyans' race ability to grow stronger over time after each major battle...Bardock has been given the foresight of future and sees flashes of the future of his son and his own planets' immediate demise, with his son to eventually face-off with Frieza...Best to view movie before watching the Frieza saga, or at least before Goku clashes with Frieza. Background music is also a plus. 2 thumbs up, definitely a must see for the avid DBZer.The Origin of Saiyan - Kim1
This movie is a presequel of the Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z/Dragon Ball GT series. It reveals the origin of Saiyan (Saiya-jin), the warrior race. It introduces Bardock, the father of Goku and Freeza who appeared in the Dragon Ball Z Freeza Saga. Bardock, a low-ranking Saiyan warrior, unexpectedly inherits the ability to see the future of the distinction of his own race. This is a story about how he was trying to make a difference.
There's a "World of Dragon Ball Z" bonus in the extra. Basically it's a summary of the entire Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z series, runs over 5 minutes, pretty decent though with a major flaw - there's no Japanese audio track. Quite a disappointment to Dragon Ball fans.
