Fun to watch as they might be, these two movies were lacking a bit of something. Android 13 is a fun villain, but the movie is so cliche it just kind of goes through the motions without trying for the most part. It mostly feels like you watched an entire story arc from the TV episodes in about 2 hours...there was nothing particularly special about it, though the fight scenes are fun to watch, as usual.
Bojack Unbound is the Gohan love film, as evidenced by the scenes shown at the end credits of the movie. It's a decent enough film, but I felt it was a bit forced and perhaps during an era in where Toriyama wanted Gohan to succeed his father as the main character, but you can tell he has issues letting go of Goku, as evidenced by the story. Whether this is true or not, I don't really know, but it FELT that way, which is the point I am trying to convey. If you ever disliked Gohan, this film is not for you...I personally liked him much better as a kid than as an adult, so this film was enjoyable for me, but I've seen fans that don't like him just scoff at the film.
These two are movies you might want to skip in the long chain of DBZ movies. Completionists will want to complete their collections but to me, neither of these movies were that special.

These digitally re-mastered releases of the Dragon Ball Z movies are excellent, not only do the features themselves look great (Better than the orange bricks in my experience) but the packaging itself stands alone.... STEEL BOOKS.... I know a lot of DBZ fans when it comes to packaging its the last thing on their mind, it's all about how they prefer the actual transfer itself to look and how it should be done. but i just have to say that FUNI did one great thing and thats releasing these double features as Steel Books.
---- Once all are collected they look fantastic on the shelf----
They Look & Feel FANTASTIC Haha

One of my most anticipated double features. Super Android 13 is a classic showcase of the strength of Super Saiyans. Bojack Unbound is about the events taking place after the Cell games but before the timeskip.

In recent years, FUNimation, who has begun to release countless anime titles spanning various genres, has gone back to the franchise that made them big - Dragon Ball Z. They have gone back and begun releasing the series and the films in inexpensive season sets and double features.
This feature combines the seventh and ninth movies of the Z series - Super Android 13 and Bojack Unbound.
Super Android 13 features our heroes squaring off against three Androids that were created by Dr. Gero's laboratory basement computer following his demise. Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks rush to an icy battlefield to combat the cybernetic threat - but even after defeating two of the androids, discover that the real fight is just beginning.
Bojack Unbound is set immediately after the Cell Saga. Goku is dead, and everyone has gotten on with their lives. Future Trunks has even made a brief return from the future for a tournament being hosted by a millionaire. Our heroes enter the tournament, but quickly discover that the tourney's so-called "galactic fighters" really ARE from another planet - and they are out for blood. Can Gohan achieve a Super Saiyan 2 transformation again, and save the day?
File these two movies under "mindless fun." If it's just straight-up action you want, Super Android 13 is one of the best movies for it. This is three Super Saiyans going head-to-head with three super-powered Androids, and the result is an action-packed fracas that ranks amongst this reviewer's favorite DBZ movies. Bojack Unbound is an interesting film as well - it's great to see Gohan get a chance to be the main character, even if the plot itself seems a bit too familiar. Still, it has some epic, great moments. As a whole, these are two fine movies.
I want to clear something up for some of the confused fans - while these "Double Features" crop the movies, this was always the intention. These movies were made with cropping in mind, so as to fit them on Japanese cinema screens. So you're actually seeing the movies in the aspect ratio Toei intended (this does NOT apply to the cropped Trunks/Bardock set from last year back, though - those were made for TV, and were indeed cropped without it being the intention.)
Also, for anyone who cares, like the recent series season sets, here you can watch the English dialogue with the Japanese background music. Of course the dub is still hit and miss in places (though these revised dubs are better than what FUNimation has done in the past), so do yourself a favor and stick with the original Japanese. I only wish They had remastered the Japanese audio.
And now for the all-important question - should you get this set if you already own FUNimation's older DVDs of the movies? My answer is no, there just isn't reason enough to replace your older DVDs with this set. Additionally, you can get the older versions of the movie (which have more of the picture on them, as opposed to the Jap theatrical aspect ratio) for VERY cheap from Amazon's independent sellers. But if you can't find the older, cheaper issues, this makes for a fine alternative. You DO get 2 good movies for a good price.
Final verdict? Get it if you're a DBZ fan, but not if you already have older DVDs of the movies.
