Thus far the most tolerable DBZ film I've seen but that isn't really saying much. Oddly shorter than the previous entries in the series as well, Cooler's Revenge introduces Cooler, the older brother of Frieza, who arrives on Earth in order to seek out the person who killed his brother.
What follows is yet another recycle of the other films - Main villain and his henchmen arrive. Krillin, Gohan, and Piccolo have minor success holding them off (Piccolo more so than the rest). Goku saves the day by defeating the villain. It's predictable but the reason I like it more than the other films is that you establish early on Cooler isn't playing around. He takes charge and criticizes his henchmen for playing games when they could so easily win. I also liked that we see Goku take on the SS form rather than spirit bombing his way to victory.
Sadly, It is also yet another non-canon entry but if you are going to watch any out of the first volume of the DBZ films, This should be the only one you watch.
