The Fall of Men is an original story of Trunks against the infamous Cell. It is a live action fan fiction of Dragon Ball Z.
Apparently, Dragon Ball Z: The Fall of Men was shot in 20 days over a period of more than 2 years.

I wouldn’t say that I am overly familiar with all of the lore surrounding Dragon Ball Z, but I’ve watched enough of it, not to have been completely lost while watching this short. For those of you who might be wondering I stumbled upon this on YouTube. Oh, and I felt to compelled to rewatch this short before posting my review. It definitely needed to be watched on a screen larger than a laptop.
The Fall of Men is a gorgeous movie and it’s clear that a lot of love went into the production of this movie. I loved the onscreen presence of Bastien Guio as Dr. Brief. I also enjoyed how the fight between Cell and Trunks was shot and how it escalated making the pair seem even more superhuman onscreen. Though I did find the effect used for the super sayian blonde a little odd. The lack of dialogue was an interesting movie by the filmmakers and I found that the tone of the dialogue that there at least in part reminded me of some of the voice over moments from the 1998 movie The Thin Red Line.
