Slug acquires the Dragon Balls (natch) and wishes to regain his youth, which feels pretty shortsighted, and the newly reinvigorated villain is ready to take down Goku.
To begin with, we have Lord Slug and his cronies landing on Earth wanting to terraform it as their new home. That being said, make no mistake, this is not a good movie. A lot of people consider Lord Slug to be the worst of the films, but I think it manages to have a few merits. Okay, this is really the nadir of things. There’s a forced cameo where Goku is briefly brought back to life to help aid in the battle, but Broly – Second Coming is a lazy misfire that tries to coast on an idea that worked once before.Ģ/7 Dragon Balls 16. Lord Slug (1991/2001) More of this movie is spent on silly hijinks than fighting.Īnd when it comes to the fighting, due to his lack of lackeys and the fact that we’ve met this guy before, there’s nothing to really get excited for here ( maybea lava-colored Broly). We’re pretty much given an Abbott and Costello style romp between the two children. This is the seedy underbelly to the DBZ films that don’t hinge upon Goku or happen to take place during his death. We also finally get the precocious Goten and Trunks into a movie, and if you thought some of these films were skewing towards the humor too much before, you might not be the biggest fan of the direction that these two adolescent Saiyans take the series (do you like seeing villains getting urinated on, for example?). The guy’s also going through severe PTSD, and that’s about it story-wise. Broly is just inexplicably alive after the events of his last movie as if avoiding an explanation will trick us into thinking we were given an answer. Bio-Broly was released less than half a year after Broly – Second Coming, and instead of this feeling like an inspired double feature a la Cooler’s Revenge/The Return of Cooler, this instead feels like scrambling to meet a deadline without a plan in place.Īnd if that feels abrupt, that’s seriously about as much of a primer we’re given as we’re reintroduced to the Legendary Super Saiyan. If all of this wasn’t enough, we haven’t even been given an effective breather since the last time we encountered Broly.
Not only is this a lazier film than the previous Broly effort, but it also ramps up the Goten and Trunks incorrigible silliness to a nearly unbearable degree (plus you get the added bonus of Mr. Okay, if you weren’t a fan of Broly – Second Coming, then the eleventh DBZ film is going to be a real endurance test for you. Regardless of what side you’re on, you’re still going to be spitting out your drink in disbelief while watching this mess. Just like there are Coke fans and Pepsi fans, there two are factions that view Lord Slug as the greatest offender of DBZ films, and those that look at Bio-Broly as the culprit.
