Line 29:
* [[Cleavage Window]]: Although Mai mostly has adequate protective gear, she leaves her chest unprotected. [[Fan Service|Huh.]]
* [[Composite Character]]: Goku and Chi-Chi could just as well have been called Gohan and Videl.
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Goku ''hops across'' a lava flow by using Mook bodies as stepping stones.
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Goku's]] [[Made of Iron]] [[Fridge Brilliance|though.]]
* [[Conveniently -Timed Attack From Behind]]: Mai is chasing Bulma and about to deal a killing blow when {{spoiler|Yamcha shoots her from behind}}. A deleted, alternate version of that scene actually has her {{spoiler|impaled by shrapnel, but still taken out by Yamcha}}.
* [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday|Dangerous Eighteenth Birthday]]
* [[Deadly Dodging]]: When Goku is confronted by a couple of bullies at the big party, he informs them that he promised he wouldn't fight them - before smoothly allowing the bullies to beat the crap out of each other and the head bully's very expensive car.
Line 40:
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Goku takes on Piccolo, [[Informed Ability|who is hyped all movie long as an extremely powerful badass]]. [[Anticlimax|He isn't]].
* [[Dropped a Bridge On Him|Dropped A House On Him]]: The sad fate of {{spoiler|Gohan}}.
* [[The End or- Or Is It?]]: {{spoiler|The last shot of the film shows us that [[Big Bad|Piccolo]] has survived Goku's attack and is now being nursed back to health by a woman, for who all we know could be Mai in another guise.}}
* [[Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting]]: Most of the bullies use the usual assortment of [[Good Old Fisticuffs|punches you'd expect from untrained jocks]]. The one Asian in the group, though, adopts a fighting stance and tries to use a flying kick.
* [[Everything's Better With Monkeys]]: True to the source material, Oozaru is a giant monkey.
Line 72:
*** Observant tropers may have noticed his t-shirt, with a sexy anime girl in it.
* [[Race Lift]]: In the original, everyone was [[Mukokuseki|vaguely Japanese]]. In this movie, the two leads are white and everyone else is Asian.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Goku's kept changing color {{spoiler|after his transformations into Oozaru form}}.
* [[The Reveal]]: It's no real shocker to those who are DB fans {{spoiler|but Goku and Oozaru are one and the same}}.
* [[Schizo -Tech]]
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: Piccolo is originally bound up in a jar, but escapes offscreen. Subverted, sort of, when Roshi later tries to trap him again, Piccolo fights his way out.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: See [[And the Adventure Continues]] and [[The End or- Or Is It?]]
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Possibly Chi Chi for Goku and defenitely Yamcha for Bulma.
* [[Shout -Out]]: There are actually a TON of references to the original series including (but no limited to):
** Goku makes mention of a race called "Nameks"
** Gohan finding Goku in a crater
Line 108:
