Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug (ドラゴンボールZ 地球まるごと超決戦, Doragon Bōru Zetto: Chikyū Marugoto Chōkessen) is the seventh film in the Dragon Ball franchise and the fourth based on Dragon Ball Z. It was released on March 9, 1991 in Japan.

Synopsis When an meteor nearly destroys Planet Earth, a space ship emerges from the meteor and lands on Earth. The new terror is Lord Slug, a nomadic alien who plans to destroy all life on Earth, and the only one who can stop him is Goku.

Dubbing History

Lord Slug was the first Dragon Ball Z movie to be dubbed by FUNimation's in-house recording studio in Fort Worth, Texas. The dub featured a new soundtrack featuring American rock bands and some pieces from Faulconer Productions' score for Dragon Ball Z. As with the previous movies, the movie would eventually be re-released with the Japanese soundtrack intact.

A dub based on the French dub was done by the AB Groupe for European distribution under the title Super Saiya Son Goku. Their version of the film aired on Toonami in the UK and was later given a DVD release there.
