Trivia / Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks

• Dueling Dubs:
  • Funimation released their dub in 2000 to VHS and DVD, featuring a localized script and a new musical score by Dale D. Kelly and Mark Aiken, and licensed songs by artists like Dream Theater, Slaughter, and Bootsy Collins. This dub was reissued to DVD and Blu-ray in 2008 with the original Japanese score and a couple voices re-recorded to better match Funimation's dub of the TV series (including the narrator and the Ox-King). The 2000 US soundtrack is also included as an alternate audio track, but with a couple songs replaced by generic music.
  • There's also an English from 2003 by French company AB Groupe for the European market under the title "Gohan and Trunks," featuring English-speaking voice actors in France. While still very awkward, this dub is a noticeable improvement over the other notorious "Big Green" DBZ movie dubs and is unusually more accurate than the Funimation dub in some places.
• George Lucas Altered Version: A dub variation. Funimation's original release featured a brand new soundtrack courtesy of Dale D. Kelly and Mark Aiken with a new score and vocal songs from bands like Dream Theater and Buckethead. The 2008 release replaced several of these songs with generic silence or random music cues. According to Kelly, this is due to royalties issues. For the credits, they infamously replaced Dream Theater's emotional "Through Her Eyes" with the generic closing theme, despite that song still being audible during Trunks' farewell in the final scene.
• The Other Marty: The 2008 remastered release mostly keeps the Funimation dub intact, but Kyle Hebert redubs both Dale D. Kelly's narration and Mark Britten's performance as the Ox King for consistency with the then-current TV series cast.
