Once viewers finish the series, they can also watch the 'Dragon Ball' feature movies 'Curse of the Blood Rubies,' 'Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle' and 'Mystical Adventure.' They aren't canon or essential viewing, but are charming films that make several interesting changes to the source material. With the citizens of the world trembling in terror, Goku knows that he is the target of the vicious. Moreover, several elements from 'Dragon Ball' are revisited or followed up on in later series. In 1998 a Philippines based company known as 'Solar Entertainment' dubbed Dragon Ball Z movies 10 and 11 (Broly Second Coming and Bio Broly) and combined them together simply titling it 'Dragon Ball Z: The Movie. The peace of a routine day is shattered by violent explosions. Beginning with 'Dragon Ball' might also give fans a different impression of certain characters than they'd get from watching 'Z' first, particularly Yamcha and Yajirobe, who are shown to be more formidable than later series sometimes suggest. Fans also get to see supporting characters like Korin, Master Roshi and Kami feature more prominently, as well as learn the surprising roles longtime allies like Tien, Yamcha and Chiaotzu had when first introduced.
It may be slower-paced than 'Z' and the action scenes aren't quite as flashy, but the show still provides an invaluable look at Goku's early years.
