Years of sexual harassment allegations against Mignogna came to prominence in 2019 as a result of the dubbed movie's release. As a result, an internal investigation was launched at [=FUNimation=] and was subsequently fired from [=FUNimation=] and replaced by Creator/JohnnyYongBosch in the video games and future ''Dragon Ball'' media as Broly and as Sabo in ''Anime/OnePiece''. Vic subsequently sued [=FUNimation=], Monica Rial, Jamie Marchi, and Ron Toye for defamation and tortious interference and lost twice even after an appeal. Safe to say, he won't be back to voice Broly any time soon.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda: When the film was released in Japan, rumors spread quickly by viewers that Frieza mentioned having an older brother. This lead people to claim Cooler was canon and would be the focus of the next film. In reality this was untrue; Frieza never mentions having a brother(Vegeta does), and neither does King Cold in his brief appearance.

* IKnewIt:
** Unlike the version of old that was regarded as the "Saiyan of legend", this incarnation of Broly is called a mutant by King Vegeta. This was actually a popular theory about both Broly and Kale in many circles.
** Bulma's use of the Dragon Balls to de-age herself by five years. Many fans theorized this as a way to explain how she actually looked younger from ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' on forward, and the movie finally confirmed it.

* DuelingDubs: There's ''two'' Latin American Spanish dubs of the film dubbed in different countries, which is is something unusual in that region for the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise, as all the animated works are dubbed in Mexico since day one. In this particular case, the theatrical version of the film was done in Mexico based on the Japanese version, while another new dubbing is made in Argentina based on the Funimation dub. The Argentinian dub is used exclusively in the U.S. for the Creator/{{Starz}} network.[[note]]This isn't exactly unusual, as many Spanish dubs used in American releases are not always the same ones used in Latin America due to a mix of both copyrights and content reasons, since in this case, the Mexican dub used in the theatrical release is owned by both Toei and 20th Century Fox, while the Argentinian dub was done by Funimation's request.[[/note]] For example, Goku, voiced in the Mexican dub by Creator/MarioCastaneda, is voiced in the Argentinian dub by Santiago Florentín.

** Arifumi Imai, a star animator in ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', [[https://twitter.com/ariariariari_/status/1074373785275355136 praised the movie visuals]], saying it had great fluidity and character designs, alongside a nostalgic feeling to it.

* DisownedAdaptation:
** Creator/TadayoshiYamamuro, who made his Animation Supervisor debut in ''Anime/DragonBallZBrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan'', didn't like the movie. He was dissapointed in how he wasn't called to work on it despite "creating Broly", and couldn't finish watching the movie due to how fast the camera movements were.
** Takao Koyama, the writer of the ''Dragon Ball Z'' movies and the creator of Broly, which he himself is very fond of, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC2M0iFH1-c has remarked]] he is not interested in the new interpretation as Broly wasn't fearsome. He never saw the movie because during the premiere he was sick.

* FanNickname:
** The ''Super'' incarnation of Broly has been called "Neo Broly", "CANON Broly", "[[MemeticMutation Male Kale]]" and "Super Broly" to differentiate him from [[Anime/DragonBallZBrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan his original counterpart]]. He has also been called "Tarzaly" due to his reinterpretation being quite similar to Franchise/{{Tarzan}}.
** Broly's final transformation is officially called "Super Saiyan Full Power". It's still referred to by fans as the "Legendary Super Saiyan" for nostalgia purposes and because the Daizenshuu guide books use the name to refer to Goku and Gohan's mastered Super Saiyan forms.
*** Promotional material and videogames lean on this a bit, also calling Broly's "Super Saiyan Full Power" form it's prior name of "Legendary Super Saiyan."
** Chirai has been called "Green Bulma" and Berriblue "[[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Edna Mode]]" due to their similar designs.
