shoot 'em up (with ki blasts), hoy howdy!

Yes, I'm going to watch movie 7. This is what I'd rather do than actual work, you see. I don't have any idea what this one's about. Something about androids? I dunno. Yeah, it's called "Super Android 13". Whatever the fuck that is.
* Androids 17 and 18 smile while killing Dr. Gero. Tee hee hee, death is funny!
* a machine in the bowels of the Earth is working "diligently" (and by that they mean with flashing disco lights) to create the "ultimate killing machine". Sigh, aren't they always. First I thought it would have something to do with Dr. Gero's blood seeping down the cracks in the floor, but apparently not.
* In West City, which looks like some futuristic, optimistic, shiny happy Tokyo, Mr. Roshi, Oolong, Krillin, and Trunks (??!!) are standing in line for front seats in a pageant. An underwear pageant. They are the only ones in line. They're also 3 hours early. Mr. Roshi and Oolong are there to ogle girls from every corner of the globe - "Pimpin' All Over the World" comes to mind, you know, the rap song - while Krillin is there for nobler reasons - to find a wife. He then proceeds to speak in a faux French accent, imagining "comforting" the pageant's loser, because "Krillin is here to take away your pain", then says he doesn't have to settle for losers. Trunks blushes and says, "Oh, well, don't worry about me, guys." What, are there no girls in the future where he came from? I want to die. Krillin, Mr. Roshi, and Oolong run off to sneak a peek in the dressing rooms, leaving Trunks behind to wish he had gone shopping.
* Shopping, in this case, means Goku and Gohan following Chi-Chi around the mall as she catfights her way to sale items. Goku tells Gohan it looks like the mud wrestling he showed him on TV. I wonder why the fuck they're watching mud
wrestling. Chi-Chi tosses the latest parcel onto the top of Goku's stack - as high as the ceiling - and then decides they're buying Goku new clothes because he can't wear the same outfit every day. Regardless that she wears the same outfit every day.
* People scream and melee erupts as the two villains arrive - a short purple guy in sunglasses and a big tall gray guy. Both look equally ridiculous. Music that sounds like a combo of "I'm Too Sexy" and runway music plays as explosions burst. They zero in on the restaurant where the two groups are eating at separate tables. Turns out the pageant is... tomorrow. How very sad.
* The two villains stick their heads through elevators, blow up elevators, and generally destroy the entire mall. Oh yeah, and the short purple guy has this weird Jamaican accent.
* When they finally reach the mall at the top of the restaurant, they blow it up - but everyone gets out safely, of course, thanks to the superheroes who can fly. Goku sees two ki blasts headed toward him and yells at Gohan to get Chi-Chi out of there right now, and for Krillin and Trunks to get everyone else to safety. Mr. Roshi and Oolong don't get assignments from Captain Goku. Goku concludes that the baddies are after him, as always. I'm starting to think he has good reason to stay dead after getting killed by Cell - he really does seem to bring doom everywhere he goes.
* Goku trashtalks the villains slightly upon realizing they're part of the Red Ribbon Army. The short Jamaican guy takes a swig from his bottle o' whiskey (not kidding), and they begin to fight. Goku doesn't do so well and gets blown into the side of a building at one point, but Trunks flies to his rescue, then suggests they go somewhere more secluded.
* Gohan and Krillin watch dejected from the concrete. Krillin actually comes to his senses and says they wouldn't last 2 seconds against those villains (good going, Krillin). But Gohan insists that he's going to go. Chi-Chi will have none of that, however, because tomorrow is his first day of summer school. Gohan says, "What's more important, mom - my studying or the life of your husband?" and that shuts her up, and he blasts off. Krillin's then all like, ooh yeah, I agree with Gohan, sticking his (invisible) nose in the air, so Chi-Chi kicks him into the air in Gohan's direction. Krillin sighs while
flying and rubbing his sore ass that "Let's face it, Krillin... you're destined to die all alone..."
* the machine that's creating that ultimate killing machine decides that it's done and says, "Awake my son! I am Gero! Awake!" and the shadowy thing steps out and says, "Goku." God, this is getting repetitive.
* Goku and Trunks stop in the middle of the Arctic, apparently, where they do poorly against the Jamaican guy and the silent gray guy, as strange pseudo bebop music that's more appropriate to say, Mario Brothers, plays in the background.
* A voiceover like voice booms out from the top of the canyon, "Now I can't believe the great Goku is catchin' an ass-whoopin' from those boys. If he can't even handle the Indians, why bring out the Chief?" What. The. Fuck. Goku and Trunks fly up to the top of the canyon to where Android 13 is - he seems to be some sort of rugged Sturgis/Outback dude with shoulder-length hair, a baseball cap, a very cliched redneck accent, and music that sounds like the soundtrack to "Renegade" (remember? Lorenzo Lamas?). Yes, electric
guitars galore. Oh, apparently he's supposed to be a "redneck". Clearly Toriyama/Japan doesn't actually know what rednecks look like, but I'll humor them. The three announce that there's now a machine that is programmed to believe it is Dr. Gero (plooot deviiiice) and is churning out androids to "kill your ass", as Jamaican android says. Goku is understandably unhappy about this.
* Trunks goes on a short tirade about how they're just slaves and they have no free will. Android 13, hereby called Redneck Android, makes a good comeback: "segregation? war? is that what you've done what your free will?" 10 points for Android 13. "don't lecture me with your $30 haircut." 30 points for that. "Goku dies!" And... -40 points.
* Trunks calls him a "Red Ribbon Redneck". They do not seem perturbed by this. I can just see it now... Trunks the sophisticated, spoiled prettyboy in his Capsule Corporation, fighting against the redneck androids. This could make good slash fic material. If I was evil.
* Trunks starts fighting the Jamaican android and the gray android. Krillin and Gohan peek up over the ledge, then decide this is way above their skill level. Redneck Android throws a massive ki blast at Goku without warning - yes, this is the first thing he does, not even
hand-to-hand for this guy - and blasts Goku into the ice. Gohan wants to help, but Krillin holds him back - "there's nothing we can do about it right now!" Trunks too gets thrown into the ice. More bad happy-videogame music plays.
* Goku flies back out of the ice and throws a giant ice boulder at Redneck Android, but Redneck Android ducks, then immediately grabs him around the ankle and says: "Dang it boy, shoot. How'd a scrawny little boy like you withstand a blast like that?" Ok, this is seriously starting to weird me out. They fight underwater, then above water. One wonders why Goku hasn't turned SSJ. Trunks emerges from his block of ice and aims his sword at the gray android, who catches the sword and starts turning Trunks by turning the sword, saying, "Little boys shouldn't play with knives." Ok, that does it. The redneck androids (and Jamaican android) are going to rape Goku and Trunks. Trunks then continues in his duty of getting beat up by Jamaican android and gray android.
* Goku flies around dodging Redneck Android's red blasts of love. Gohan and Krillin say, "Whoa" and "That looks bad". Suddenly another blast comes to save Goku from the red blast of impending doom by deflecting it into the solar system, knocking down satellites. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... Vegeta! Emerged from the bowels of the Earth for no reason! Wait, no, it's one of those "I will help you because I want you alive so I can destroy you." What a sad excuse. We all know he came to save Goku. And yell at Trunks for going to an underwear pageant. The androids decide they're not programmed to destroy him, but they'll do it anyway.
* Goku and Redneck Android face off (Goku says Redneck Android is "leading a path to your own destruction"), while Trunks fights the gray android and Vegeta fights the Jamaican android. Vegeta, Trunks, and finally Goku turn SSJ. Gohan and Krillin ooh and ahh. The Dr. Gero machine starts to whimper. Jamaican android takes another swig, says, "Ok, let's dance," and proceeds to get butt-whooped himself. Goku and Redneck Android are neck-and-neck, so Gohan stupidly decides to help out with his own pathetic ki blast that manages to burn Redneck Android's vest. Redneck Android turns around with a
smirk and throws a much deadlier blast back at Gohan, but it's tossed aside by an invisible force in the ground. Gohan thanks Piccolo. Krillin says what we're all thinking: "Piccolo's here?"
* Yup, there he is, burrowing like an ice worm. He emerges and throws down Redneck Android, and tells Goku he just "happened to be in the neighborhood", which reminds me - why the fuck did Goku and Trunks stop at this random ice place that just happened to be the headquarters of the Dr. Gero machine and the androids? WHY? Ugh. Anyway. Redneck Android tells Piccolo to leave if he wants to live, because it's Goku they want, and Piccolo snaps, "Same unhealthy obsession." Natch!
* Vegeta and Jamaican android continue to "dance" to bad music. Then he kills it. Trunks kills the gray android, and then father and son join the others, taunting Redneck Android
* Redneck Android proceeds to absorb the microchips of the fallen androids to music that is now sort of scary and X-Files-ish, and turns... blue. With spiky orange hair. And bulging muscles. Of course. Vegeta launches forward despite Goku's warnings, being the cocky moron he is, and his blows can't even make an indentation in Blue Redneck Android. He then
grabs Vegeta and starts soaring downward at mach speed, saying, "This is the dive of death!" Trunks tries to save Daddy, but to no avail, and Blue Redneck Android throws Vegeta down into the ice - then sends him flying straight into Krillin, who whines, "Why do these things always happen to me?"
* Goku comments as he flies toward Blue Redneck Android with Piccolo that "this is messed up... oh man". Piccolo can't touch him either. Neither can SSJ Goku. Instead he gets flung into a canyon, where he says, pathetically, "Help me..." NO kidding. Gohan goes all weepy. Blue Redneck Android flies down into the canyon. Amid Goku's screaming, Vegeta gets up, muttering, "Don't die, Kakarrot. You're mine!" Oh, poor sexually frustrated Vegeta.
* Goku and Blue Redneck Android start a new kind of dance - Goku stands up. Blue Redneck Android throws a red ki blast at him. Goku falls down. Goku stands up. Repeat ad nauseum. Finally Goku is thrown into the Arctic water. Gohan and Krillin emerge to try to rescue him. Krillin tries to throw a ki blast - why? to warm the water into evaporation? - but then slips on the ice and goes skidding past Blue Redneck Android, who doesn't even notice him. Except to call him and Gohan mosquitoes. Wait... there are no mosquitoes in the Arctic!
* Everyone is pretty much dead. Including Vegeta, who was sitting up last time I saw him, but seems to have fallen over again without Krillin's shoulder to lean on. Which means it's time for... a Genki-Dama! As usual! Cut briefly to Oolong and Chi-Chi, who make surprised sounds as they feel the energy sucked from them. Seriously, Goku with all his spirit bombs is kind of like a psi-vampire. As Blue Redneck Android prepares to kill Gohan, Goku emerges from the water - standing and holding his arms above his head - that looks vaguely Jesus-like.
* Blue Redneck Android aims a blast at Goku, but Gohan takes the blast for him like a real trooper. Goku prays for energy. Vegeta has somehow gotten up again and says, "Oh, you android freak! Don't even think about it! Kakarrot's mine! So back off!" I would care to remind Vegeta that theoretically, Kakarrot is Chi-Chi's, but I suppose there's no need to anger Vegeta No Ouji. Regardless he does very poorly. Yup, every bone is broken. Ouch.
* The water starts circling around Goku to more creepy, Sci-Fi-channel music... it's kind of cool, actually. Trunks then makes Blue Redneck Android drop his father, then proceeds to tell him his life story. The Dr. Gero machine
says, "Danger! Danger!" Blue Redneck Android takes out his frustration now on Piccolo, who seems at one point to leak blue blood from his head (?). Goku goes SSJ. Krillin makes the following strange comment: "He's transformed. That means he's pure... even as a Super-Saiyajin." WHAT THE FUCK.
* Goku goes slightly psycho with power and seems to melt the entire polar cap, or maybe just consume the Earth in flames. He then punches Blue Redneck Android into the Genki-dama. The Dr. Gero machine dies.
* melting on glaciers in the Arctic Ocean, Gohan, Krillin, and Trunks sigh contentedly, then awake to find Goku sitting up, completely well. Indeed, when they're at the hospital, it's Gohan and Krillin that are in casts (despite them not doing ANYTHING throughout th
e whole movie), and not Goku - he's just standing there next to Chi-Chi with a few bruises. I ask you how. Chi-Chi says as soon as Gohan is well, it's time for summer school, and Gohan promptly says that his leg hurts and dives under the covers, begging to Krillin that he not mention senzu beans. Everyone, including Chi-Chi, laughs. Guess we see how seriously she actually takes studying.
* cut to the best ending in DBZ movie history: Piccolo and Vegeta sitting on a floating piece of ice in the ocean.
Piccolo: Is it over?
Vegeta: Not till the fish jumps.
*fish jumps*
Vegeta: It's over.
