Quotes:

[Goku and Pikkon teleport to the Check-In Station. The whole area has been changed, with jellybean type orbs everywhere and a huge barrier surrounding the actual station]
Goku: Get a load of this! Doesn't look like the check-in station I know...
[looks at the barrier]
Goku: It feels like King Yemma's inside there!
King Yemma: [inside barrier] Goku, thank goodness! An accident mutated one of our workers, he did this!
Goku: Don't worry King Yemma, we'll bust you out of there before you can say "Snake Way"! Pikkon, on three - One, Two, Three!
[Goku and Pikkon both fire energy blasts at the barrier, which have no effect whatsoever]
Pikkon: Nothing. It must have absorbed it.
Goku: Let's give it one more try.
King Yemma: Goku, on the roof! The monster that did this is on the roof!

One of the best! In Japanese and in English

I see nobody has added a comment who has seen the 2006 release by Funimation. This movie was great in Japanese and awesome in English. With a great soundtrack to it. The story you'll see from the other comments. I also recommend the English. The movie finally has Goku after a long period of three movies, so finally you get to see Goku kicking ass again. Also this is the first movie you will see Super saiyan 3. Another great feature from this movie is you'll get to see Vegeta and Goku working together again, not since movie 6. The ending and how Goku and Vegeta figure out what to do to take Janemba down is perfect for the movie. The only reason I give this movie a 9 out of 10 is because it is very trippy, if you will. The basic plot of this movie is the should cleanser tanks for hell have exploded, leaving years of soul waste puring out everywhere, turning a young worker in to a fat tub of lard known as Janempa. It also changes the other world around in which there are jellybean looking barriers everywhere, and part of the reason I say it's trippy is because to break the barrier, you have to throw harsh words at it, not attacks. I found that pretty bizarre...Plus Janemba/Janempa is just another Kid Buu basically because he has pretty much no personality and he doesn't even talk. I like when the enemies actually have character. When the Soul cleansing machine explodes, all hell breaks lose, literally. Anyone from the other world can come down to earth and anyone living can go to the other world. Of course Frieza comes back with other saga enemies and some old movie characters. Also, Hitler and his army come back, which I found pretty funny. Of course Gohan, Videl, Trunks, and Goten all come to the scene, with not much of a challenge. Another thing that disappointed me was you don't get to see any other old enemies fighting. It's hard to say the time when this movie took place. It's obviously not in the 7 years apart because Goku says he has already fought Buu and Vegeta is dead. So I don't really think about the time it took place. Since a lot of the movies don't fit. Overall this movie is still really good and has great animation. I recommend you buy it 99.9%
