[edit] Summary

[edit] Introduction

The film opens with a Saiyan Spacepod flying through space and crash-landing on Earth. The crash causes a small crater to appear, and a seriously injured, barely alive Super Saiyan crawls out: Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan himself!! As the weather gets colder, Broly's power decreases, and he reverts back to his original Super Saiyan state, until he finally loses consciousness and turns back into a normal Saiyan. Water pours over, and freezes, trapping the sleeping Broly and preserving him.

[edit] Dragon Ball hunting

Seven years later, Goten, Trunks and Videl are looking for the Dragon Balls because Videl wants to see Shenron. During their search, they find that there is a local village called Nataday that is ruled by a priest, who always seems to think that everything in the world is a curse. The residents of Nataday village claim that they are usually terrorrized by a monster, and their only source of help is the priest's preaching.

Goten, Trunks and Videl decide to make a plan to rid Nataday Village of the monster by leaving food for it and hiding in a trunk next to it. However, Trunks and Goten's hunger gets the better of them and Trunks sneaks an apple, but Videl doesn't allow Goten to do so, eventually smacking him across the face and causing him to cry a lot. Goten moans and cries while Videl attempts to apologize, until she finally gives in and hands him an apple.

Then, the monster appears, and turns out to be a dinosaur. After a battle, the dinosaur is killed and eaten by Goten, Trunks and Videl for dinner. The priest is then rejected by the villagers for not being a competent savior, and thrown out of the village. With Nataday village now a peaceful place to live, Goten, Trunks and Videl depart to continue their Dragon Ball hunt.

However, unknown to them, Goten's earlier cries caused a mysterious shattering on a layer of ice, the same layer of ice which Broly was trapped in. Broly awoke in the ice due to Goten's crying (As it reminded him to Goku's with the same crying Broly seemed to hate Goku for when they were babies) and shatters the ice upon becoming angry, annoyed, and becoming a Super Saiyan.

[edit] Battling Broly: Round 2

As Goten, Trunks and Videl continue their quest to bring Shenron out, Videl takes a little flying about at a nearby lake, where she is confronted by a young man with white trousers, a red belt, no top, and blonde hair: Broly in his regular Super Saiyan form.

While Broly and Videl confront each other, Goten and Trunks see what is happening, and try to tell Broly to stop. But when Broly sets his eyes on Goten, his rage comes to the surface, because he mistakes Goten for Goku, due to the hair and the cries. Broly turns his attention to Goten and Trunks, and battles them, pounding them seriously.

During the battle, Goten's eyes fall on the nearby last Dragon Ball, so Trunks tries to distract Broly by mooning and taunting him while Goten gets the Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, Goten tries to summon Shenlong behind a waterfall so that Broly doesn't see him, and Shenlong does not appear. Just as Broly is about to finish Trunks off, Gohan appears at the last minute and stops him.

Taking Trunks, Goten and Videl to safety, Gohan explains that Broly is the feared Legendary Super Saiyan, whom he battled alongside Goku seven years ago. Gohan then fights Broly head-on, and seems to be even with him until Gohan powers up to his Super Saiyan form. Broly follows up by powering up to his Legendary Super Saiyan form. After a short fight Gohan couldn't seem to beat Broly. Seeing no other choice, Gohan lures Broly into a pit of molten lava that Broly's energy ball made earlier. Broly is apparently caught in the fire, and Gohan is rescued in time by a Namekian-dressed Krilin.

To everyone's shock, Broly re-appears before their eyes, and knocks Krilin out with one energy attack. Broly then proceeds to annihilate Gohan, with everyone too weak and exhausted to help.

Then, the Dragon Balls start to fall out of the bag and onto the ground, where they glow and summon Shenron. As a last resort, Gohan powers up to Super Saiyan again and is followed by Goten who powers up to Super Saiyan and both try to kill Broly with a double kamehameha, but the Legendary Super Saiyan simply makes an energy ball and blocks all of Gohan's and Goten's moves. When Goten whimpers that they need help (in his mind, wishing Goku was there), Shenron seems to grant the wish, and Gohan and Goten hear a familiar voice: their father, Goku. Somehow, Goku appears beside his two sons, transforms into his Super Saiyan form, and coaches them in the Kamehameha duel, which works for a short ammount of time until Broly launches more ki into the bomb, Trunks sends one last ditch effort ki ball that he had been charging and passes out, which creates a barrier around the energy bomb ensuing between Broly and Goku Goten and Gohan, giving enough time for their triple kamehameha to overpower Broly that breaks through the bomb, and his efforts are futile as he is blasted into the sun where his chest blows open as he screams Kakaroto and disentagrates in the sun.

After the smoke clears, the Dragon Balls are gone, and so is Goku. With Broly now gone, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Videl return home. The Movie ends with Krilin still being stuck in the rock that he was blasted into and ends the movie by saying "Hello? A little help here?"
