* BeamOWar: Goku and Wheelo have two of these. The first time, Goku uses a four-fold Kaioken to best Wheelo's exosuit beam. The second time is remarkably brief, as Goku's Spirit Bomb rips straight through Wheelo's final attack and destroys him.

* BrainTheft: The plot of the movie is that Doctor Wheelo is trying to replace Master Roshi's brain with his own, so that he can have the body of the world's strongest warrior and escape his status of being a BrainInAJar. He changes his target to Goku when he learns he's the actual world's strongest warrior. It's not quite clear how he's expected to fit inside Goku's cranium though, [[MyBrainIsBig since his brain is huge]].

* OldMaster: For the first time since the early days of Dragon Ball, Master Roshi gets a surprisingly good showing in this film. Despite taking on all three of Kochin's Bio-Warriors at once, Roshi has no problem keeping pace with them in hand-to-hand combat, only running into trouble once they begin using their special abilities.

Two evil scientists, Doctor Uiro (spelled "Wheelo" or "Willow" in translations) and Doctor Kochin, were trapped in an icy mountain range fifty years ago. Kochin somehow managed to escape and gathered the Dragon Balls, ordering Shen Long to reveal their sunken laboratory once again, so that they might continue their plot to take over the world. However, the accident left Uiro without a body, and he plots to steal the one belonging to the strongest man in the world.
