Trivia:
Goz and Mez, the ogres in hell, are based on two characters from the original Dragon Ball. Goz, the large blue muscular ogre, is based on Man-Wolf's human form. Mez, the glasses-wearing speedy ogre, is based on Shen (the human being whose body Kami borrowed at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament.)

Goofs:
Factual errors: In Tree of Might, Turles destroys the artificial moonlight which transforms Gohan into a Great Ape to make it so he himself doesn't accidentally look at it. Maintaining Great Ape requires artificial moonlight. Since he destroyed the light, Gohan should instantly have detransformed. (Turles says something about how the effects will last a little longer even with the light source taken out, but this contradicts every other Great Ape transformation scenario in the entire series.)

I first saw Dragon Ball Z on the International Channel. It was entirely in Japanese with no subtitles, yet I could still get the gist of the story.
When tried watching the English dub on Cartoon Network, I couldn't get over it. It was an entirely different show. The music is different, the dubbing is horrible, they cut out huge scenes practically blotting entire episodes, digitize out a lot of the blood, change a lot of the great lines, for some reason change a lot of the names, and basically change plot points.
I couldn't stand it. Since then, I've gone to collecting it on DVD so I can watch the show as I am accustomed to watching, in Japanese. It's definitely not for children. It has profanity (and for some reason some of the profanity is in English some of it is your basic "k'usos"), nudity, blood, violence, and a lot of death (see Bejita;).
I keep my kids from watching those. They can see it on Cartoon Network if they want. That's just fine. The show was definitely "dumbed down" for children as if should have been for a non "Adult Swim" show. (But don't ask me why CN never thought DBZ qualified for Adult Swim instead of "Inuyasha.") However, if you are an adult, and want to watch the best anime show this side of "Akira," definitely watch DBZ, but ONLY in Japanese.
