Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13! / YMMV

Ensemble Dark Horse: One would expect Android 14 and 15 to become Ethnic Scrappies, due to both being pretty bad stereotypical caricatures of black people (Android 15) and Native Americans (Android 14). This was amazingly averted and both gained huge popularity in the Dragon Ball fandom.
Epileptic Trees: A popular fan theory is that Android 13 was based on Dr Gero in his prime, due to him having the same kinds of earrings Gero wears, and possessing a similar facial structure to Android 16, who was revealed many years later to be modelled on Gero's deceased son.
Funny Moments:
- Goku's response in the English dub is priceless...
  Goku: You're an android too? Oh man, how many of you did Dr. Gero create?
  Android 13: Well, not that it's any of your business city boy, but the good doctor met his end some time ago. We were created by Dr. Gero's computer.
  Goku: Now his computer's trying to kill me!?
- While the lines were admittedly a Narmish bit of Leaning on the Fourth Wall added to the dub, the scene with Piccolo and Vegeta discussing if the film's over is still a little funny.
  Piccolo: (totally deadpan and serious) Is it over?
  Vegeta: (equally deadpan and serious) Not till the fish jumps. (a random fish jumps out of the water) It's over.
Memetic Mutation:
- Super 13 punching Goku in the nuts has become a... memorable scene in the fandom. Many even joking that in this one timeline Goten wasn't born.
- "Don't you lecture me with your 30 dollar haircut!"^Explanation
Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales: While there are many who see the three androids as stereotypes of Americans (13 as a stereotypical southerner, 14 as a stereotypical Native American, and 15 as a stereotypical African American), they're still popular among American fans.
Narm: In the AB Groupe dub, Trunks telling Android 13 that he can't change destiny when Trunks himself has done exactly that is, rather than awe-inspiring, completely hilarious instead.
Signature Scene: Super 13's Groin Attack on Goku is easily the most well known moment of this movie.
So Okay, It's Average: Though it's rarely hated, it tends to be seen as one of the least memorable Dragon Ball films. This is due mainly to it playing the standard movie formula very straight (villains derivative of ones from the series attack the good guys while they're doing something mundane, fight goes back and forth for a bit, Piccolo saves Gohan, Vegeta saves Goku, Quirky Miniboss Squad gets picked off by the B-listers, villain reveals true power and inflicts Curb-Stomp Battle, Goku saves the day with random new power and/or Spirit Bomb) without any real deviations. While the film's animation and choreography is far from bad, the fact that it does very little to shake up the formula, along with its villains having borderline nonexistent personalities, means it's very rare to see people call it a favorite.
Suspiciously Similar Song: The ending theme "GIRI-GIRI —Sekai Kyokugen—" sounds a lot like "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin. It was arranged by Kenji Yamamoto, nearly two decades before Toei fired him for plagiarism.
Woolseyism: In the English dub of Super Android 13!, Androids 15, 14, and the title form of Android 13 originally did not speak most of the time in the Japanese version (the only words ever spoken by either of them being "Son Goku", and in the case of 15, "Trunks"). The dub actors evidently ad-libbed a large amount of the dialogue. This is the most likely main cause behind the personalities altered to match their looks.
