《龍珠Z：燃燒吧！熱戰·烈戰·超激戰》是《七龍珠》系列的第11部劇場版，同時也是《龍珠Z》的第8部劇場版，於1993年3月6日在日本上映，全片長度72分鐘，最終票房達到13.7億日元。本作最大的亮點，在於首次引入傳說中的超級賽亞人布羅利這一角色，他驚人的戰鬥力與壓倒性的存在感，讓本片在系列眾多劇場版之中留下極為鮮明的印記。

劇情方面，故事以貝吉塔行星倖存者帕拉伽斯為開端。他帶著兒子布羅利大肆破壞南銀河，最終帶著野心降臨地球，向賽亞人王子貝吉塔提出邀請，希望他能登基成為新「貝吉塔行星」的國王。帕拉伽斯的言辭讓貝吉塔心動，畢竟建立一個宇宙最強的帝國，對自負的貝吉塔而言極具吸引力，他因此接受請求，並隨帕拉伽斯父子前往新貝吉塔行星。對此行動感到疑惑的未來特蘭克斯與孫悟飯，也一同隨行，以查明帕拉伽斯背後的真正目的。

隨著劇情推進，真相逐漸揭曉：帕拉伽斯之所以要邀請貝吉塔登基，不過是掩飾其利用布羅利力量統治宇宙的計謀。真正的核心在於布羅利——這位外表瘦弱、看似不具威脅的青年，卻是傳說中的超級賽亞人。他的力量之強大，遠超所有Z戰士的想像。當布羅利真正爆發並變身後，他幾乎以壓倒性的戰力碾壓悟空、貝吉塔、比克、孫悟飯、特蘭克斯等人。Z戰士們一次又一次被擊倒，整個銀河的安危岌岌可危。最終，悟空不得不集結所有夥伴的能量，才有機會與布羅利正面對抗，將故事推向高潮。

在市場評價方面，憑藉布羅利的首次登場而獲得極高關注。布羅利作為「傳說中的超級賽亞人」，其壓倒性的力量與近乎無法控制的狂暴性格，讓他成為粉絲眼中極具魅力的反派，甚至在之後的多部劇場版中再次登場，奠定他在《七龍珠》系列中的經典地位。當年上映後，影片票房表現亮眼，也進一步證明《龍珠Z》在90年代初期的巨大號召力。觀眾普遍認為本作的戰鬥場面張力十足，布羅利一人對抗群雄的戲碼帶來極強的震撼感，尤其是布羅利變身後的狂暴姿態，被視為系列最具代表性的戰鬥畫面之一。

不過，也有評論指出，本作的劇情相對簡單，主要集中在布羅利壓倒性力量的展現與Z戰士的絕境反擊，故事線與人物心理刻畫略顯單薄。但即便如此，《燃燒吧！熱戰·烈戰·超激戰》仍被普遍視為《龍珠Z》劇場版的高峰之一，成功塑造布羅利這位長年深受粉絲喜愛的傳奇角色，並為《七龍珠》系列劇場版奠定更多史詩般的戰鬥色彩。

Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan is the 11th theatrical film in the Dragon Ball series and the 8th installment under Dragon Ball Z. It premiered in Japan on March 6, 1993, with a runtime of 72 minutes and achieved a total box office revenue of 1.37 billion yen. The film’s greatest highlight lies in the introduction of the Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly, whose overwhelming power and presence left a lasting mark among the many entries in the series.

The story begins with Paragus, one of the survivors of Planet Vegeta. Accompanied by his son Broly, Paragus wreaks havoc across the Southern Galaxy before arriving on Earth with a grand ambition. He invites Prince Vegeta to ascend as the ruler of a newly established “Planet Vegeta.” The proposal intrigues Vegeta, who is tempted by the prospect of creating the most powerful empire in the universe—a goal that appeals deeply to his pride. Accepting Paragus’s request, Vegeta travels with him and Broly to the new Planet Vegeta. Sensing something suspicious, Future Trunks and Gohan also join the journey to uncover Paragus’s true intentions.

As the plot unfolds, the truth is revealed: Paragus’s invitation is nothing but a façade to mask his scheme of using Broly’s immense power to dominate the universe. The true centerpiece of the story is Broly himself. Despite his frail appearance, he is in fact the Legendary Super Saiyan—a warrior of unimaginable strength. Once Broly unleashes his true power and transforms, he mercilessly overwhelms Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, and Trunks with sheer brute force. One after another, the Z Fighters fall before his might, placing the entire galaxy in jeopardy. Ultimately, Goku is forced to gather the collective energy of his comrades in a desperate bid to face Broly head-on, pushing the narrative toward its climactic showdown.

In terms of reception, the film drew enormous attention thanks to Broly’s debut. As the Legendary Super Saiyan, his unmatched strength and uncontrollable rage turned him into one of the most captivating villains in the franchise. His popularity was so great that he later returned in multiple subsequent films, cementing his status as an iconic character within Dragon Ball. Upon its release, the film performed strongly at the box office, further reinforcing Dragon Ball Z’s massive cultural impact in the early 1990s. Viewers widely praised the intensity of the battle scenes, especially the shocking spectacle of Broly single-handedly overwhelming the Z Fighters. His transformation sequence and rampage remain some of the most memorable and iconic fight moments in the entire series.

That said, some critics noted that the film’s narrative was relatively simple, focusing primarily on showcasing Broly’s overwhelming might and the Z Fighters’ desperate counterattacks. The story and character development were considered somewhat thin. Even so, Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan is still regarded as one of the high points of the Dragon Ball Z films. It successfully introduced Broly as a legendary figure beloved by fans and added a new layer of epic, large-scale battles to the Dragon Ball theatrical legacy.
