Movie Number: 5

Other Titles: Tobikkiri no saikyō tai saikyō (Battle of the Strongest versus the Strongest)

Written by: Akira Toriyama

Directed by: Misuo Hashimoto

Characters:

• Goku
• Gohan
• Piccolo
• Krillin
• Cooler

Summary: Goku, Gohan and company are off camping in the woods when their fun is interupted by the minions of Cooler, Frieza's brother. A very pissed off Cooler chooses Goku as his target, wanting to avenge his brother and destroy the Saiyan. And Cooler turns out to be much stronger than his brother.

Commentary: Once again, this fits in very poorly with the timeline, but we can forgive that a little bit because this is actually a pretty good movie. I like the the vengeful brother thing - it begins to gray the lines a bit between good and evil. Sure, Cooler is evil, but you can understand him being pissed about his brother's death and wanting revenge. The action in this movie is a little more Chi blast than hand-to-hand, but it's entertaining.

Rating: 7/10

Reason for Rating: Bad timeline match-up, but overall, a pretty good movie with good action and storyline.
