#1: It's not a movie.
#2: It's FMV from two video games released for the PlayDia video game console system.
#3: The footage was combined by fansubbers long ago, mostly raw, to create the one "movie" (although a script was timed out by Carddass, who loooooong-time fans will remember as the owner of the website "Paozu Yama" and later worked on toriyama.org).
#4: It's better off remaining "lost"; in theory the plot sounds kinda cool, but it's just so.. so... terrible...
Honestly, I don't know where you would be able to get a copy of it. The quality of even the BEST copy is "watchable" at best (and I've *got* a first generation copy). I actually DO remember that in the past (maybe a year ago) some sites were distributing "ROMs" (CD images) of the two games, and I think even had an emulator for the system (no clue if it worked).
Be interesting to see if anyone could track down these CD images, or find some random moron who BOUGHT the game, and rip the video files to make a brand-new copy of.. what is quite possibly the worst story of any "DragonBall" universe, ranking even below DBZ movies 4 and 11... *shudder*
