-The whole movie is centered around obtaining the dragonballs, there's no tournament, no real draw to having any conflict
-There's a forced love story with Goku and Chi-Chi. There's a scene where Goku shows up at Chi-chi's house and crashes her high school party and tries to get out of the friend zone. this lasts for a good 15-20 min
-There's hardly any fighting. Fight scenes have 0 choreographed movement. If you're looking for kung-fu matrix Jet-Li stuff there is pretty much 0. Just dude's throwing fireballs or people shooting guns at each other
-Goku buries his murdered grandfather in his backyard...
-They use the Kamehameha as a healing technique. Goku gets shot, Roshi heals him with the Kamehameha....
-No Vegeta, no Raditz, no DBZ characters
- Piccolo is just an alien who randomly appeared on Earth and for no reason wants to destroy and then rule it.
-Piccolo does nothing but say one liners and throw fireballs
-There's no "final fight". Dudes run at each other, throw 5 fireballs Goku fires a kamehameha and kills Piccolo
- There's this whole subplot about Ozarru (SP?) Or when Goku turns into the giant monkey. Dude turns into it at the end of the film and does nothing but choke Roshi out and kill him. there's no fighting involving him in monkey form and it looks worse than the werewolf in the "Wolfman" from back in the 1950's
-Yeah Goku kills Roshi, then uses the dragonballs (which they spent the last 1:50 minutes talking about using to save the world) to ressurect Roshi so he can train more
-Shen Long the dragon shows up and looks worse than the dragons in Reign of Fire. He also doesn't say anything.
-The movie ends with Goku and Chi-Chi making out and then sparring...
-The only people actually Goku beats up besides Piccolo are women
-The dude who plays Yamcha tries to act like he's an anime character. This comes off as irritating and stupid.
-Piccolo tells Goku that Goku came to Earth on a meteor and hid amongst the humans until his 18th birthday. He then said and I quote "You WORKED for me!". So how did an 18 year-old work for someone 1,982 years before he was born?
YES I'M MAD
RIP to Dragonball legacy...
