Wrath of the Dragon (1995), the 13th--and final--Dragon Ball Z movie, is also known as Dragon-Fist Explosion!! If Goku Can't Do it, Who Can? Teen-aged Gohan rescues an old man threatening to commit suicide, who turns out to be Hoy, the last of an evil race of aliens. He tricks the gang into finding the Dragon Balls and asking Shenron the Dragon to open a sealed music box--releasing both the hero Tapion and the monster Hirudegarn. Trunks is dazzled by Tapion, and works to befriend the elfin alien. Hoy plans to use Hirudegarn to destroy Earth, but Tapion and his magical ocarina hold the monster at bay. When the megalomaniac Hoy overcomes Tapion, it's Goku, Gohan, and the rest of the Super-Saiyans to the rescue! Although it's barely an hour long, Wrath of the Dragon delivers some snazzy special effects and plenty of the rock 'em sock 'em action Dragon Ball fans expect. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 8 and older: violence)--Charles Solomon |

Probably the best DBZ movie for effects and storyline. |
|
Wrath of the Dragon is definitely an alternate storyline. However this is the case because it is directly linked to the Trunks storyline. Without giving a spoiler, you find out the origin of the sword that Trunks carries in the series. In the manga which gives more details, young Trunks, in his timeline, defeated the monster at a very high cost to the planet. Of course, this movie is the "what if" Goku survived after Majin Boo and faced the monster. |

Terrific end to a series. |
This is the last movie of the Dragon Ball Z series. As every true Dragon Ball Z fan knows the timeline of the TV series and the timeline of the movies do not go hand in hand. The movie "Wrath of the Dragon" serves the purpose of not only closure of the series, but also answers a peculiar question of one of the character, we see how does Trunks obtains the sword that he will later use to kill Freeza and King Cold.
As everything Dragon Ball Z is entretaining and exiting. Great fights, and great plot. Highly recomended. |

wrath of the dragon |
Overall,despite some issues,this is a brilliant film. It looks gorgeous (especially when goku fires the super dragon fist and when tapion is summoned). Also, I think that the story is very strong and sort of mimics the majin buu saga, an ancient and very powerful evil being reborn. It even has a babi sort of character in it named hoi, the alien whio summens the monster hirudegarn.
The story could have happened in the DBZ universe. like fusion reborn it could have taken place in the ten years between the death of buu and the final episodes of dbz (when goku meets uub). Basically an old alien summons a huge monster called Hirudegarn. At first we only encouter the monsters legs and tail which gets beaten by gohan. Finally he is then complete when the upper half of hirudegarn is taken out of tapion, the hero who originally trapped him. The fighting then starts. Hirudegarn beats all he z fighters to the brink of death. Then goku turns ssj 3 and kills hirudegarn with a super dragon fist.
The fighting is amazing because hidergarn keeps appearing and disappering at will meaning the z fighters cant even touch him.My favourite fights are Vegeta vs Hirudergarn because its short, sweet and action packed. The next fight has to be ssj3 goku vs hirudergarn. Fans will like it because Hirudergarn throws a punch with a fist bigger than goku and goku just shrugs it off and smiles. Then he launches his dragon fist which looks amazing.
Howevor, there are some issues as I said before. Firstly, if you're watching it for the first time you'll find its quite a long time before the first fight but believe me its worth it. Secondly, if, like me you've seen all the movies you'll wonder where characters like piccolo and tien are. Neither of them have died and both of them would have sensed his huge power level - bizzare, it gives the impression that their scared or something. Finally and most importantly are the power levels of gohan and gotenks. Gohan appears to be in his mistic form and yet only seems to be as powerful as the characters who are super saiyan (goten and goku). Anyone who has seen the buu saga will remember how gohan took super buu apart so he should be on par with an ssj3. The same goes for gotenks who transforms into a ssj3 and after doing one of his super moves is defeated with one punch. Its like the creators have forgotten how powerful these guys are.
Despite these complaints the film is excellent and one of the most individual films. The special features include character bios and trailers but its the film yuo will really enjoy. The music is also very could particularly when tapion attemps to banish hirudergarn.
Overall I would give this a huge thumbs up and consider this a must have for fans.
