Trivia / Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler

• Dueling Dubs:
  • Creative Productions Corp produced an English dub in 1995 in the Philippines, and it was released as a double feature with Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge under the title "Dragon Ball Z: The Greatest Rivals."
  • Speedy Video released an English dub to VCD in Malaysia around 1999 under the title "Fight! 10 Billion Power Warriors" featuring a voice cast that could barely speak English.
  • AB Groupe produced an English dub in 2001, also as "Fight! 10 Billion Power Warriors," for the European market featuring English-speaking voice actors from France. Humorously, this dub has a different voice actor for Cooler than the previous film.
  • Funimation released a localized dub to VHS and DVD in 2002 featuring their in-house voice cast in Dallas and a new musical score by Mark Menza. It was reissued to DVD and Blu-ray in 2008 with the original score.
• The Other Darrin: The AB Groupe's dub changes Cooler's actor from his previous movie going from Doug Rand to Ed Marcus. Marcus even redubs Rand as the purely organic Cooler during his flashback to his defeat in that first outing.
• Troubled Production: Animation supervisor Midoru Maeda admitted that this film had a more strenuous production compared to other projects due to a number of factors, leading to a noticeable downgrade in art and animation quality in the final product. The main factors were the over-ambitious script and some ill-advised design choices, namely the decisions to make Cooler appear metallic and to have him clone himself thousands of times, both of which caused a painstaking workload for the animation team.
