Notes[]
Filipino English Dub Vegeta
A clip of the Filipino English dub for Return of Cooler
- A third English dub was recorded by Creative Products Corporation in 1996 (which would actually make it the first English dub of the movie) in the Philippines. It was released on VHS edited together with Cooler's Revenge.
- The FUNimation dub features original music composed by Mark Menza. It would later get released with the Japanese soundtrack.
- In the original FUNimation dub, Meta-Cooler has a slight mechanical sound to his voice, but in the Remastered edition, the sound effect has been removed, making Meta-Cooler's voice sound exactly like the original Cooler's.
- In the AB Group dub, the Big Gete Star is called "the Great Gedester".
- Despite them being credited, neither Tiffany Vollmer nor Cynthia Cranz appear in this movie either as their characters nor as background walla.
