"These films are too violent!!"... said the soccer moms who dragged their kids to The Passion of the Christ!

Personal anecdote: I was in 6th grade when this movie was released. I grew up in a small town where the local theater was a 10 minute walk from the school. One day, the teachers all conspired to give the students a homework assignment, and told us that if we completed the assignment and returned it the next day, we would all get a special surprise. The next day, all classes were cancelled in the afternoon, and the students who completed the assignment were ordered to stand in the hallway and wait for further instructions. The teachers then escorted us all to the movie theater, where we were treated to a showing of TMNT 2, along with popcorn and drinks. The kids who did not do the assignment had to stay at school.

"A big lipped alligator moment!" (In Chester A Bum's voice) I haven't heard that in years. Ahhh the memories.

I always like the Vanilla Ice scene, glad to hear you enjoy it as well

“Help, I’m a turtle, and I can’t get up.” Uggggh!

Did you know in the UK TMNT were once called “Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles” because some censors up there thought that the word “Ninja” was too violent.

6:15 - Well, Gone Girl showed everyone that there is more to Perry as an actor than Madea, so I can't blame the people making Out of the Shadows for casting him. 6:20 - Hmmmm... David Warner playing a bowtie-wearing scientist who is hired/kidnapped by Shredder to create mutant henchmen. Why didn't they just name Professor Perry Baxter Stockman? 21:24 - He fell towards the water and then just phased out of reality... into a much better movie: www.imdb.com/title/tt0120746/mediaviewer/rm3834650624 Happy 10th anniversary, Sean!

"What do you mean, 'yes'?" I see what you did there. XD

Let me guess Nash tore his quad by tearing up the bridge as shredder

Yes, he was a stunt double but that dude was AMAZING! He really is a talented martial artist.

21:26 There was a splash effect. You just couldn't see it because. A. The scene is too dark to see it properly. B. The effect was so small and that you practically have to lean in closer the screen in order to see it.

Happy belated 10 year anniversary, Sean! Let's hope the new animated Ninja Turtles movie is better!

Rephrasing Goldman's aphoristic "No one knows anything" as "Studio executives are stupid" is perfectly apt in this case.

I think I'll go to bed early tonight. *sees the next part of Cinematic Excrement's 10th Anniversary video is up* Eh. Sleep is for the weak.

"Cats had better special effects!" Ouch.

Terrific to see that 10 years later Sean continues to make episodes for Cinematic Excrement. Also him reviewing the original 3 TMNT movies.

Congratulations on ten years of great content here's to many more

What a fun 10th anniversary this was. I say we go for some pizza.

Well, my fellow viewers, wasn't that a fun 10th anniversary? It was? Good. Because the following month Smeghead will review the second movie of the "Four Shades of Golden Raspberry Erotic Yarns"-quadrology. This next movie won Worst Picture... And nothing else. See ya in March!

In regards to the budget, it's possible the $50 million number came from them combining the production budget with the marketing budget(as some publications are wont to do)

Well, you ain't that far off with the "Tatsu not being happy with no longer being leader so he messed with the mutagen" theory. In the film, the mutagen was indeed altered, but it wasn't Tatsu who was responsible: it was Dr. Perry who messed with the mutagen.

So Sean, you still planning to look at Transformers The Last Knight? I know this one will probably get you more riled up than the last 4, so I know it’s gonna be fun to watch

4:24 my guess is they probably take money from the thugs whose asses they kick. Obviously the guys they catch are gonna go to jail so it's not like they'll need the money anyway.

2:10 Josh Pais was also replaced by Laurie Faso as the voice of Raphael. To be fair, though, I only found out years later, lending evidence of talent to his replacement.

I remember these movies fondly, I think the second movie is where they had a scene where they were rescuing raphael and the joke, it's quiet, a little too quiet, that was easy, a little too easy, it's Raph, a little too raph! My sisters and I said this to each other a lot obviously we thought it was the best thing we'd ever heard. Also I liked the animated one as well, so many people didn't so I'm glad you did!

@25:14 I agree. The 2003 TMNT animated series is awesome. Well, the earlier seasons before Fast Forward, I mean.

I mean, it wasn't just the movies that suffered from the "MEH, VIOLENCE!" parent complainers. In the later seasons of the TV show, Mikey's nunchucks were replaced by a stupid grappling hook because parents complained when kids tried to imitate him. I'm guessing they had no problem with swords or sai because they're harder to get hold of...I dunno, it didn't even make sense then.

15:07 The Turtles' "dots" were present in the costumes in the first film, they were just less visible.

It's seeing this as an adult and noticing that some scenes of New York City are actually downtown Wilmington, NC.

I did not expect you to actually like the Vanilla Ice scene, though I suppose your logic is sound. I thought it was amazing as a kid just because of the turtles doing a choreographed dance while fighting. Also, again because I was a kid, the clip you used to end the video was the funniest thing on earth to me for several months and I quoted it endlessly much to the chagrin of my parents.

I hope you do return to the Worst Picture winners because by the time you do review “Color of Night,” you’ll have another Worst Picture winner added to your list of reviews.

I love Cinematic Excrement! Keep up the good work, you noble man!

Fun fact about the 2007 TMNT movie is the fact that Casey Jones was voiced by Chris Evans.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze (1991)🐢💙🧡💜♥️🦊🐢also my FAVORITE Movie of All-Time!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no splash. I guess he fades into the twilight zone.

Ernie Reyes Jr. played a Karate Kid type in the 1986 TV series SIDEKICKS.

3:52 - 4:27 That'll be explained in the 2007 animated theatrical release, TMNT!

Had Ninja Turtles 3 not have bombed, there would have been a fourth movie called The Next Mutation (no relation). It would have dealt with the turtles and Splinter finding out that their mutations haven't completed and they develop new powers. Mikey would have developed a human-like appearance that would allow him to go to the surface, Donnie's eyesight would have faded and he would make special goggles that would allow him to see better, Leo would change his skin to a chrome-like surface, Raph would turn more monstrous, and Splinter would bulk up. There would have also been a fifth turtle named Kirby. The accelerated mutating was later put in the later seasons of the Fred Wolf cartoon and the idea of a fifth turtle was put in The Next Mutation.

1) the more comedic fight scenes didn't really detract from the movie, and it's not like there isn't a long precedent of comedic fight scenes in Hollywood (Jackie Chan, anyone?) 2) I'd assume the Turtles probably get most of their money from the pocket change that people drop down a storm drain (or, in the case of the opening of the movie, maybe April gives them an allowance; they _are_ teenagers, after all) 3) No, the ooze being alien in origin is stupid. Having it be just a random mix of chemicals is more believable, and the scene where Donatello expresses disappointment at this revelation is very powerful and can be interpreted as a metaphor for any number of things (kids finding out that they're the result of a one-night stand, young adults finding out that their parents gave them false praise, etc) 4) Tokka and Rahzar aren't _actually_ babies, they just have the mental abilities of one. The professor mentions that he did something to their mutagen to make them dumber, and when you see them unmutated, those are clearly an adult snapping turtle and wolf (which you probably shouldn't have those in a club with a bunch of people...)

I find it amusing whenever newer incarnations of the franchise make clever references to the past, for example, Tokka and Rahzar were given some pretty awesome reimaginings in the 2012 series, the latter became a second mutation for the character of Chris Bradford (an expy of Chuck Norris), and the former became a kaiju mama

There's a new TMNT animation in 2023.

Not the 10th Anniversary special edition I was hoping for. Don't ask me what I wanted, just not TMNT for two episodes. My kids were too old to watch that stuff, so it's really a disconnect for me. Regardless, congratulations on all your hard work. I cannot imagine the amount of labor that goes into producing one of these episodes. I really appreciate your work, even on those occasions where I don't care for the subject. When we're watching you in 3D VR in 2030, you better review Star Crash.

the best of the trilogy in my opinion.

Lord Norinaga sounds like Lord Toronaga from Shogun and that character is supposed to be Tokugawa Ieyasu the real Shogun. Turtles III takes place 1600 or 1603 in Japan so the timeline fits.

I don't think New Line Cinema was necessarily wrong to assume the Ninja Turtles were a fad. The third movie did much worse at the box office, and the series' popularity had definitely waned by 1993. It wasn't until the early 2000s that it really became popular again.

"It's hammer time!" To quote the AVGN, "Oh, God."

You're back! KAWABUNGA!

Yes!! New Smeghead!! Hit "watch later" immediately. See you soon :)

Apparently, there is still some evidence of the Utrom subplot in this film. The thing you see at 7:32 in the triangular case is supposed to be an Utrom leader.

17:59 He kept his sword. She kept her headphones.

Shredder's helmet in this movie is so covered in spikes, its hilarious!

When was Kurai introduced? I was born in "89 & never saw the original films or cartoon (aside from a bit of Next Mutation, which I've mostly repressed). These reviews are good time capsules.

AWESOME REVIEW. I also loved Bebop's mutated pet Snapping Turtle: Slash.

Love your „lesson“...😂👍

Dude, Nick has a channel on Pluto TV that's TMNT 24/7 and it alternates between the 2003 and 2012 shows.

This incredibly dopey movie was one of my absolute favorites as a kid for whatever reason. All I think of when I hear about it now is the reference to it in Metal Gear Rising though. Edit: "What do you mean yes?" I really like that line.

4:02 Lots of people accidentally drop money on the streets especially in big cities like New York. It's possible some of that money made it into a sewer grate and happened to be picked up by the turtles

Great video, just finished the first video and had to subscribe. I think I saw my first video of yours a day or two ago and these latest ones were suggested to me so I had to check them out :D I enjoy a lot of similar KZfaqrs and I enjoyed the few videos I've saw of yours so I just had to subscribe :D Thanks for the entertainment and keep up the great work :D EDIT: Wow so you've been doing this for 10 years now and only have about 30,000 subs, I'm only bringing this up because I was surprised due to the entertainment value and content and figured you'd have more and feel you deserve more. SPREAD THE WORD!! Good luck I'll be sure to check out your catalog, one thing I did notice is your great like-to-dislike ratio. Again, thank you and keep up the great work, nice to "meet" you ;D

Maybe the Super Shredder scene was so short cause Nash Tore his quad.

SMH. Of course they brought in (non-union) Stunt workers from Hong Kong. The movie was after all getting made by Golden Harvest a film company from Hong Kong famous for making martial arts movies with stars such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li.

Keno is such a terrible character to hang a movie like this on. His entire backstory is that he's a pizza boy. That's all we get. His arc? None. He's the same little twerp who condescends to everyone, right up to ninja masters, and he never learns a goddamn thing. Contrast with Danny, from the first movie. Danny had less screen time than Keno, and in that time we get that he's a troubled kid, who has a strained relationship with his workaholic father, falls in with a gang of ninja thieves, gets arrested, gets bailed out, used as leverage to get April fired, runs off to join the Foot clan full time, before eventually finding redemption, a surrogate family that doesn't boost stereos, and a second chance with his father. Again, Keno is a rude pizza boy. Who kicks.

Great review.

Also, Tokka and Rahzar are NOT babies. When they turn back into ordinary animals, they are an adult wolf and snapping turtle. When they are called infants, its referring to their intelligence.

The first one was co-produced by Golden Harvest which would explain Hoag's criticism.

Maybe it's 50 mil when you include all the advertising.

I’d say the idea was to have someone to soften Raphael because, outside the ‘87 series, he’s a pissy brat and hothead. However, this didn’t carry through very well because all 4 Turtles seem to be a Michaelangelo spouting quips harder than the Avengers and we barely get any direct focus on his antsy need for action at the beginning before they’re transported.

4:56 the yellow Suzuki Esteem was not parked outside the Nail Spa. Jimmy was probably raising some cash selling some disposable prepaid cellphones to his shady customers that night.

BREAKING NEWS: Per a video statement posted to the Razzies’ KZfaq page and official website, “Cats” has been named the runaway 2019 winner for Worst Picture-meaning it will now be officially added to Sean’s marathon for said winners. (May God have mercy on your soul, my poor dude...:P)

I wished they made a Live-Action TMNT 4 movie

I guess one excuse for the concealment was so Kino would have a hard time seeing the bells.

Part 2! Whoo!

I will count my blessings that I only saw the third live-action Turtles film in theaters only once (which was before I turned 10, incidentally), as I barely remember that much worth remembering about it (and this is coming from someone with a still-sharp photographic memory like Doctor Strange). That being said, I still have memories of watching THE SECRET OF THE OOZE at home... and after the Vanilla Ice number, do I really need to say anything more?

12:43 in the movie the Professor outright states he tweeked the mutation process so that Toka and Razor would have the mental maturity of infants. You see when they are returned to normal they are full grown animals, they were never babies, they just had the mentality of infants.

I always thought that they get their money from people dropping it or from stuff that gets flushed.

So... why did they need a new company to come in and make new turtle costumes for the third film? What happened to the ones from the other films? Wouldn’t it be cheaper to get/buy/rent/whatever those ones than make new crappy ones? 15:21 with great difficulty I would imagine!

Too bad you didn't get into the live action _series_ . Boy was that the stuff of nightmares.

he must have got the sausage off the pizza🍕

I should be asleep by now, but I guess I could stay up a bit longer.

Saw you posted this, but was watching the AEW Special at the time, so couldn't watch this right away. Anyways, think I know why you didn't see the splash. It's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so he got sucked to Dimension X and changed his name to Krang. 😉😂 Just kidding, but seriously, did love both parts. Thank you, Sean.

Random quips whilst fighting make violence ok. Leo: Heads up!!! Decapitates a samauri. Blood fountains straight up out of the neck. Head on the ground looking around and trying to speak. 😱

Honestly, yo-yos hurt, so I can see them as a weapon, but *come on* even Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles couldn't make it look natural.

Confession, the third one is actually my favourite, but yeah your criticisms are fair. ETA: Though my favourite TMNT franchise is still the 2003 cartoon.

My favorite movie of the series was TMNT, and my favorite version of the show was 2012. I loved the hell out of that show.

you know, having seen the movies myself, i sort of understand......ish😅 i need to rewatch it again to see the differences 16.12.22

Help, I'm a turtle and I can't get up!

15:45 ...Oddly wholesome, that.

WAIT I HAVE A GREAT IDEA can you cover the Bionicle movies

Fun fact. David Warner is from my home town. That’s not really important, I just like to take every opportunity to point that out because...reasons. Also, one of his lines is about messing with the Ooze to make Tokka and Razhar retarded. Yep, that is actually a thing

Well they planed a forth movie the new mutation but it fell through and was changed in to TV series in name only

I always assumed they used any coins that fall through sewer grates. Although that wouldn’t explain how they could turn those coins into dollars

Today is my birthday! Better watch this video now or never!

How about the TMNT concert tour and christmas special VHS's? Or no those don't count?

I remember back in 1993 when I saw the third movie I was bored 😑 senseless and I was only eight years old to boot 🥾

I always assumed that the TMNT got dough the same why that Blade did: Took it from the bad guys after they stomped them.

@16:29, Did Raph just call Donny, Leo? Was that actually a mistake or am I missing something?

why do producers or marketing guys always do stuff like "let's take something succesful that people like and remove things from it, change things, and try to make it NOT look like what it's supposed to be"?.

Too violent? Damn parents. I really enjoyed t2 but like yeah the no weapons give me a break. Always bothered me.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 has 4 other glaring issues not mentioned in the review. Plot Hole The Foot Clan never go to April O'Neal to ask her where do the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles currently live. It's never explained in the movie why the Foot Clan don't use that easy solution. 1 Bad Guy moves his mask up saying the line what are you night security before he fights Keno which is a huge mistake because that make it easy for Keno to give a decent face description to the New York City Police. Also Splinter already has a New York City Newspaper that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were seen so it makes no damn sense for him to be watching the News and reacting negatively that the Turtles were seen since most likely he already knew that from what he saw on the front of a New York City Newspaper. And the most glaring flaw it's never explained how Shredder avoided getting crushed in the back of a Garbage Truck. So a regular Shredder can survive falling from a damn Building into the back of a garbage truck, and avoid getting crushed in the back of a garbage truck except Super Shredder can't survive the less intense damage of wood falling on him.

Thoughts: And we're back! Let's end this! Bay's TMNT movies were worse! Next time back to the Razzies! Great anniversary special! To more episodes this decade! Cheers! 🍻

``In a nutshell`` , you missed a chance to say ``In a turtle shell``.
