Shredder demonstrating his fighting skill in that deleted scene when he fights the Foot Clan, would've been a great addition to this film.

TNMT 1990 is easily one of my top 5 greatest films of all time. I played this VHS tape until it popped, and convinced my parents to get me another one.

Im 36..the turtles were the best part of my childhood.

That scene with Shredder sitting down defending himself is badass

The scene where Shredder fights the thugs while sitting is actually him punishing the thugs who failed to mug April in the alley. It's in the comic and novelization of the movie.

I remember seeing those shells rising from the water when I was 5 and being shocked that I didn't see it in the actual film. My parents even took me back to the theaters to see the movie again, in case I somehow missed it. Now, 30 years later, I'm getting closure.

There was also a bunch of cut scenes on the farm. - One had the gang doing a sparring match where Leo turned his mask around to fight the others. Donny wears a straw hat in the scene. - Lots and lots of April and Casey ship tease, including Casey trying and failing to fix the truck door and April showing Casey her drawings of the Turtles. - More scenes of Mikey being angsty, which led into the Turtle Wax scene and told April and Casey that Mikey was back to normal. - A training scene where the Turtles played Hot Potato using an apple. This is why Raphael has an apple at the start of the final act when the Foot invade.

I think the Mikey arch on the farm was interesting. He actually had no dialogue the entire time at the farm. He was also seen as pretty hardcore. He was kicking butt in their sparring sessions, seen hitting the punching bag and the rooftop scene when he called for Splinter (but with Raph's voice, which happened often in the 1980s cartoon). Another scene that got me was when Leo brought them out to the fire to meditate on Splinter, when Donny pulled out the marshmallows, Mikey nudged Donny to put them away and get serious.

Learning more about the potential barn scene with Mikey really opened my eyes to how much he was really going through without splinter... especially after just reading the last Ronin....😭

I would absolutely love to see Steve Barron revisit this movie. Restoring old footage. Getting Robbie Rist to come in and record Mikey yelling "splinter!". An extended director's cut would be awesome.

how am I JUST NOW Finding this AMAZING TMNT Channel GREAT VIDEO DUDE!

Love this movie, they never quite got it right since this one. Hopefully the upcoming movie reboot captures the magic again.

Man, I just love the amount of research that you do for these videos.

I’ve always been perplexed about why filmmakers have been afraid to fully flesh out and develop Michelangelo’s character. I know he’s the silly wise guy of the group but it’s often said that the funniest clowns carry the deepest pain. I wanna see a ninja turtles movie where Michelangelo and Donatello actually get some decent character development.

Leo's deleted ninja moves was cool.ive never saw it before.

I have ALWAYS noticed that Mikey never got a segment at the house when April was sketching them all. He was my favourite so it stuck out like a sore thumb, and I always liked to think that Mikey was secretly just as pent up as Raph, but he used humour to let the rage escape - something which Raph never mastered. An extended Director's cut Blu-Ray is at least 20 years overdue, and they should not only do it, but also cram in every detail, deleted scene, interview, and set photo that they can manage. I'm sure that if they started a kickstarter then it would get paid for, and then some.

A 30th-anniversary version would be great with some commentary.

I just found you yesterday and I'm hooked! I'm 33 and the 1990 TMNT and 3 ninjas were the movies that started my love of ninja flicks. I love your channel and it's clear you have a passion for the turtles. Great content my friend thank you.

It was just yesterday that my coworker and I was talking about how this version of the Turtles was better than the one made in 2014.

In the movie that was released, in the sparring scene at the farm, Michelangelo was fighting better than the other turtles. Also, Michelangelo fought the longest against Shredder.. That was probably the result of the intense training scenes of Michelangelo that were deleted.

Why are there soo many great scenes cut no one has ever seen release them this is 1 of my favorite movies lol

Man, I never noticed that was Mikey on the roof of the barn until just now. Crazy.

Tmnt is one of the best comic movies ever made. Watching it back as an adult I was really impressed by it, and so happy they allowed a dark gritty version of the turtles.

Fun fact, Raphael was the only turtle not voiced over in the film. Josh Pais did both the voice and was the guy in the costume. Plus he was the guy in the cab that said "what the heck was that?'

Instead of the TMNT reboot, can we the extended cut of this movie instead

I want them to show the movie(s) in theaters again, like how they have done with other movies that has been out for years. A special dvd with all the extra stuff would be radical.

A special edition with loads of extras and deleted scenes, possibly an uncut version, would be something up Shout Factory's alley.

That Scene With Mikey Is Pissed And Angry In The Barn Should’ve Never Been Cut Out He Is Angry And Take Out Is Fustration By Destroying Things

I have nothing but the upmost RESPECT for EVERYONE involve in the production of the TMNT movie(s). These films were absolute badass when i was a kid and even today they are heaps of fun. The first two in particular had the perfect lighting and mood & overal tone. And my god, Judith Hoag & Paige Tuco were absolutely sweet as April O'Neil. And Elias Koteas as Casey Jones couldn't have been any better. This man absolutely NAILED the role. The live action Turtles were so well done and you can really feel the enthusiasm of everyone involved. And yes, i'd LOVE to see an extended (possibly even R-Rated) version of the 1990 movie. When the film came out i already saw and loved the animated TV series and loved that nod to the show when April wore that yellow rain-coat at the beginning.

I've been watching this movie for almost 30 years and I never once noticed that it was Mikey on the roof instead of Raph. Sheesh, no wonder I'm always losing a sai.

I love how they did the opening scenes. Hearing instead of seeing them gave it the more stealthy vibe which Splinter always preaches.

This movie is one of those where it's always interesting to look into the history of it, so I would welcome a collector's edition/director's cut release in the future

According to IMDb, the deleted scenes with Michelangelo would've shown him in a state of depression following their failure to find out Splinter's location. The scene where Mikey jokes about using Turtle Wax after working out and April and Casey react with relief would've been because of how depressed he'd been getting.

Dude this is great content! Especially with the content about Michelangelo this just confirmed the scene in the movie with Donatello and Michelangelo were talking while waiting on the pizza. At first I thought he was just being his usual scattered brain self when Donatello asked Mikey about not having Splinter. But in actuality Mikey could not really handle that especially just being a teenager at a time of important development and growing pains, especially of being a “mutant teenager “ I thought that was GENIUS how he totally dodged the question in his party scatter brained personality! Now that you mentioned it was Michelangelo who was training in the barn and how he was screaming Splinter at the barn rooftop this just connects the dots on that scene I mentioned earlier. This was a treasure dude keep up with the great content, also let me know how I can donate to your channel.

Rewatching this movie with my kid, as an overanalytical adult, I totally agree with you about Michelangelo's emotional arc. It's a shame so much was cut, but I think it's exceptionally powerful to have a "party dude" suddenly withdraw and become traumatized by both his father missing and his brother in a coma. You see his avoidance of emotion earlier when Donatello asks about Splinter not being around forever, to which he changes the subject to the pizza delivery being on time. Great video!

The classic TMNT movie with extra scenes!? Yes please!!!

Shell yeah I want that extra contened on a DVD of the movie

Most, if not all of the deleted scenes were not included for good reason, though I'd love for them to be included as extras in a comprehensive rerelease of the film. Most were not included simply because they just were not up to snuff, ruined the pacing of the film, or kind of took the film out of it's zone. The Shredder fight scene demonstration against him and FOOT ninja when he's first revealed not only looked a bit awkward, and unremarkable, it also would've killed the mystery surrounding SHREDDER and what he could do. Finally seeing just how superior he was as a fighter compared to the Turtles towards the end of the film was the right call.

I feel we deserve that longer version.

There's a novelization that includes a lot of the deleted scenes

It's been established that Michelangelo is a fan of the Rocky movies early in the film. It's very possible that the planned scene was intended to be based on Rocky's training montage in Rocky IV after losing Apollo Creed. The way he stands on top of the barn is very similar to how Rocky stands on the mountain.

I've read there is a deleted scene where after he Turtles, April and Casey flee the city, Shredder scars members of the Foot for allowing this. This was cut for issues of violence. Also originally in the scene where Tatsu (I think that's how its spelt) beats the Foot members, the one he seriously injures was supposed to have died. But again the death was considered too violent and the scene was edited with added sounds of groaning to imply the guy was still alive.

This movie is incredible. One of my favorite movies period, not just a turtle movie. What the real shame is, is not continuing this storyline. I know Secret of the Ooze took it in a logical direction but the Turtles already looked different and the tone of the movie was much lighter and sillier. I would've loved for the Turtles to have looked the same and had that same NY grit through all 3 films. TMNT 1990 is a classic, damn near masterpiece

TMNT needs a Directors Cut with all of the cut footage if it is available

I’d love to see the extended version. I love the Turtles

Videos like this are why im Subscribed to the Old Turtle Den 🐢

That original Turtle poster with all 4 popping their heads out of the sewer lid is one of the greatest movie posters ever created! It has bugged me for years, why we never saw a Michelangelo sketch. I always figured it was cut...

There's also a scene I saw in the cinema, but never again. When the four turtles were training at the farm, Leo pulled down his bandana, covering his eyes and asked the other turtles to challenge him. hesitant at first, they eventually did, and Leo defeated them. I also had a story book that had that scene included. But for nothing could I find those scenes on VHS (back in the day), nor DVD

There should be a Kickstarter or an Indiegogo campaign to have an extended cut collector's edition made. Next year it will be the film's 30th anniversary, it's about time it deserves the deluxe treatment.

I can’t believe I found this page this and T2 are my favorite movies of all time and this Shredder is by far my favorite villain EVER!

I've always assumed there had to be some deleted scene during that April sequence where she's talking about the turtles and how they're handling things. She talks about Don, then Leo, and then just abruptly cuts to "And then there's Casey Jones...." and never mentions Mikey. Even 9 year old me thought that something was off there. So yea, something definitely got cut out.

I've seen this movie countless time and never once noticed it was Mikey on the barn roof. It honestly makes you wonder about him even more because look how hard he was going at that punching bag trying to get the anger and frustration out. As has been shown in recent years, the person who hurts the most is also the one who tries to make everyone laugh.

The 90s film series version of Michelangelo is my favorite. Every other version has him too comical, not showing he has depth, but this version shows it.

5:28 - It says "Now who's the champ, pal?" Just weird you said something different.

I'm a Mikey for life... goofball with anger issues. Cowabunga dude, I freakin' love your channel!

34 YRS LATER, STILL THE BEST FILM!!!!!!

All of those scenes would have been awesome to be included in the movie. I would have really enjoyed the added depth to Michelangelo's character. The entire series of scenes at the farmhouse is so good - in my opinion the greatest stretch of cinematography I've ever seen. The way the light cuts through the trees and saturates the film is absolutely beautiful. You can feel the setting of the old farmhouse with its overgrown surroundings and creaky floorboards in every shot. The character bonding and tension throughout the farmhouse scenes is just crazy good.

I remember the Shredder fight demonstration in the novel. It’s supposed to show how the Foot soldier earns that bandana that we see them getting from Shredder in the movie.

This is what I would love to see in the new movie! Look how realistic the turtles look 👀

Really love the explanation with Michaelangelo, that makes things super interesting. Wish it could've been in the making

I hear a rumor that there was a scene of Casey Jones in his apartment, listening to the news looking at his hockey mask before he takes to the streets. I don’t know how true it is but it sounds cool.

Casey Jones alley fight makes a lot more sense of him helping Raph out at Aprils. I hope they put a release out with all the xtra crap in it.

I cant believe how great this movie still is. The perfect balance between 80s cartoon Turtles and and the original comics. Its crazy how this came together. I love this film so much, I still have a big framed poster of in my living room. I hope they release a special edition with everything they can find about it and put in in there.

I really like these extra scenes, especially the alley scene and the Mike training with sketches scene. Wish they would have made it into the film.

You're my favorite Turtle channel. Vids like these make me want to scream, *COWABUNGA!!!*

5:14 OMG!!! I had that Sticker Book, dude! My Mom bought it for me when the movie came out.

TMNT was my entire early childhood. More specifically the original 1987-1996 series along with the original 3 movies although not so much the third. It would be amazing to get an extended directors cuts with these deleted scenes all in tact.

I'm a 34 year old man and I still absolutely love this movie. I can break it down scene by scene in my head. So dude, this video was awesome. I've always wondered about the Mikey training scene where April is sketching the turtles. Even as a little kid, I'm like what the hell, no love for Mikey?? I would've absolutely shit myself if I saw the Shredder scene where he kicks everyone's ass sitting down. They did such an incredible job with the end fight scene that I've always wished it was 5 minutes longer with more focus on the turtles against Shredder, rather than Casey and the Foot. But so cool man and I love the channel. The 1990 OG will always be a top 5 movie for me

I remember reading the novelization of the movie as a kid; they included the alternate ending with the publisher, which I always figured was just a scene that was made up by the author. It blew my mind a few years ago to see that it had actually been made!

Deleted and alternate scenes, commentary with director actors, music videos "Spin That Wheel" and "Turtle Power", Tfiles, interactive menus, behind the scenes/making footage clips from behind the shell, even adding on TMNT2 with material, the Barbra Walters special interview. There's so much to add to a deluxed edition of tmnt.

Maybe, the most underrated film of all time

Yeah I think its because it was a character arc that they explored with Mike that they either didn't have time to go into or that they figured just didn't fit in with anything else he was doing in the movie. I think it would have been cool because of how much more like the comics than the cartoon the movie was. In the comics Mikey DOES have a lot of emotional issues that the whole "party dude" attitude is ment to cover up, like its his defense/coping mechanism. And while the movie focuses on the relationship and dynamic between Leo and Raph(which IS very important and I wish its something that the cartoon had done) in the comics there actually exists a very strong relationship between Raph and Mikey. As the oldest besides Leo(who is the leader and has to take responsiblity for the whole team) Raph feels like it's his responsibility to take up for and watch out for Mikey who is the youngest. This is a constant point of contention between the two because Mikey feels coddled by it and at times feels like Raph is holding him back. Example: Raph volunteering to take on a task that would have otherwise went to Mikey because he felt it was "too dangerous" for him. Or Raph "taking it easy" on Mikey and forcing Leo and Donnie to do the same during training for fear of his younger siblings getting hurt. These things were also a constant source of irritation for Splinter, on the one hand, irritated that his older sons are coddling the younger(he IS trying to train killers) but on the other, knowing his younger son's limitations compared to his brothers.

So it looks like the UK got a lot of stuff the US version didn't, mostly in the fight at April's apartment as I remember bits missing from the US version like Donatello saying ''Uh oh!'' followed by the floorboard creaking slightly longer before the floor caving in. The US got the scene with Michaelangelo and foot having a 'Nunchuck off' which for me is the main missing scene. There is also a couple bits from the farm (Wax on wax off) and in the final battle with the foot eg: A slightly longer shot of the turtles stepping out the sewers before Donnie and Mikey squash the foot with their shells. Also quite a few extra bits up on the roof fight. Michaelangelo vs Shredder. It always bugged me the UK version cut his fight sequence out because of the Nunchaku ban. And finally splinter and Shredder ''Death comes for us all, Oroku Saki....'' Hopefully one day we'll have an ultimate version with more deleted footage and outakes.

There's so much promotional material for this film that I remember seeing on TV, in magazines, etc. back when it first released. I don't know if any of you remember, but there was a kick ass commercial for the film soundtrack where movie Donatello and Mikey (complete with their movie voice actors) were standing under some sort of elevated freeway or bridge or something at night, speaking to one another (while you could see the cold breath coming from their mouths) about the artists and songs on the soundtrack. Best thing about the commercial was that it looked like it was shot by the actual crew that did the film. Like, it didn't miss a beat, and looked awesome. It's various little things that I remember about what went into promoting it that showed the heart and care that went into producing this film. Judith Hoag has gone on record over the decades saying that she ultimately didn't like the finished film because the original cut and other story stuff they wound up leaving out of the original script took alot of the heart and soul away. She's a damn good actor, and the best April ever, but she always come across as being someone who probably takes herself and her craft a bit too seriously. Anyways, I'm not saying she's wrong and that we couldn't have gotten an even better film based on what she said, but for her not to like the final cut of what we got in the end, I have to question her views of what makes a great film and why.

An underrated classic. This stuff you dug up is great

Man...that mike scene in the barn should have been added. They could have showed a transition of him being party all the time Mike to Shit just got real Mike. Especially, with splinter being gone, not knowing if he is dead or not...yeah that scene would have been perfect.

a 30th Anniversary **Extended Cut*** with All the Missing scenes Restore in there Right Places would Be GREAT*

I'm glad they didn't put in the first deleted scene because the turtles weren't seen until after the light was busted out by the Sai and the thugs getting beaten up in the dark was a great touch of cinematography. You heard the beating and then you saw the tied up crooks when the police cars showed up with their headlights on them. The OG Movie had a great mix of serious moments along with the goofy one liners and sight gags. Thanks for uploading this...

I still love the first movie, I grew up with TMNT in the 80s

Sir! One day I’d like to meet you just to shake your hand. You turn over every rock to find us any content on the big green machine. I always wonder even as a kid why they never talked about Mikey. I would’ve personally loved that Mikey took it the hardest that his master & brother are the break of death. I mean he’s known as the unpredictable turtle, and it makes since to have him be angry because he always happy. Thank you!

It's time for a fan to cut this all together if we don't get it officially next year.

These scenes from the german bluray have also been in the german version of the movie. I remember watching this version as a kid on vcr and tv. They also did a great job with the german voice over and added some phrases or sounds to make it more "funnier" but in a very good way!

This video showed up in my recommendations and I gotta day, you nailed it! Subscribed! An extended directors cut of this movie is my holy grail and I really hope it sees the light of of day. That “alternative ending” scene would work best as an after credits thing rather than being tacked on right at the end.

The Michelangelo part makes sense because that was how it was in the original Mirage comics story.

This is an amazing video. I seen the shredder seen before. But the rest that you had on your video it blowed my mind away. You should make a video of tmnt The 2nd one.

What's funny is how instantly people like me who grew up with this would recognize any second of new footage. I saw this in theaters when I was 7.

For years I thought I was crazy but knowing the theatrical release and home video releases were always different fixed that. Now add in all these extra cut scenes and it would be perfect. Between the 5 original production houses, New Line Cinema and Nickelodeon somebody make it happen. 35+ year Turtle fandom deserves a ultimate edition of this film!

I think it would've been interesting seeing Michael training...his character mood changing would've drew more attention. Never seeing that side of him.

As cool as these scenes could have been, I'm glad they didn't extend the Casey and Raph fight beyond Raph losing him after slamming into a taxi. It just ends so delightfully with Raph's line "I'm not finished with you! DAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!" Totally would have ruined the scene if they went beyond that. It's a huge laugh for one thing, but it also adds to Raph's unfocused anger and frustration in his character arc.

Excellent video, subscribed and TURTLE POWER!!!

Videos like this are why I subscribe! Keep'em coming man.

Mind blown! How come Germany gets the ultra special edition Blu-ray?? That's just not fair 😑 Nice vid bro 👍

We need a new movie the right way, the comic book way

I really wanna see every one of these scenes released some day. Especially that Michelangelo in the barn stuff. It’s interesting to think about the fun loving Mikey being dead serious for at least a short period.

Someone pointed out to the deleted scenes with Mikey, in the fight training scene at the farm, we see the other three brothers all fighting against Mikey, and Mikey holding his own against all of them. This alludes heavily to the idea that Mikey was training harder than the others

Sorry I knew all this don't need you to tell me what's what when it come's to TMNT!!!

If you're a kid of the era, TMNT (1990) is just one of those movies that will always have a special place in your heart. This was a time before it was commonplace for your favorite comic book/TV show to become a major motion picture (right on the heels of Batman '89)--and for the movie to be not just good but GREAT; surpassing the expectation set by the tone of the super kid-friendly animated series was both surprising & amazing. The way the film builds to the Turtles final showdown with Shredder on the rooftop reminds me a lot of Ghostbusters (1984). Old school NY vibes & classic movie making magic.--And that soundtrack...beyond DOPE. Good times!

Man, that was an awesome video! Great, great great job. I can definitely see the passion you have for TMNT. 👍👍👍

This had a good story behind it. They didn't turn the villain into a cartoon joke and the turtles were likable which is important for the heros.
