Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles filming locations in New York City! The Original!

The ORIGINAL Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie EXPLODED onto the screen in 1990 and for us 80's/90s kids, it was one of, if not THE Greatest movie of ALL TIME! Turtle Power was all the rage as these original Heroes in a Half Shell came to life via the Jim Henson creature shop!
Now I had known the movie was filmed primarily in North Carolina on massive New York backlot sets, but while wandering in the city last year I found out to my surprise and pleasure that the original NINJA TURTLES DID do some filming in the Big Apple! 🍎
Just enough to spend a day hunting down as many TMNT I locations as we can, and a few BONUS locations from Part II; SECRET OF THE OOZE!
We should note there are a few more establishing shots and some shots of the Foot Lair supposedly on Roosevelt Island, we didn't have time to track down. But we did discover some places that at least at first glance appear to be previously unlisted on the internet! So lets hop to it!

For documenting the majority of these locations, they were a great resource! Also Special thanks to Jarrod Shepard, German Cervantes, and Tom Rieben for help with files, and Jorge Rocketman Velasquez for braving the subway air for several hours.

The 1990 Turtles movie was the best movie experience I've ever had! Being 12yo in 1990 I enjoyed it massively, the grittiness, darkness, humor, music, the atmosphere, that was all so very fascinating! I've never had a better movie experience! Matrix in 1999 comes close though ;)

So awesome man. Isn't it crazy how this is still the best Turtles movie and as they got bigger and spent more money it just got cheesier and less gritty and awesome? This movie is just saw raw and real. Wish they'd do another in a similar fashion. Just amazing. Although I did still love the 2nd movie as well lol

At 16:24 to the middle fat left of the screen you could see it says ‘erh’ ... living in Brooklyn myself and always passing by I always thought it looked like it , and it reminded me of the TNMNT movie.... i was recently watching this movie on Netflix and wanted to confirm what I saw in this shot and here it is ... that’s awesome , but yeah could have been a simple breakdown with just that scene , but liked how you broke it down !

Thank you so so much for this video. You really took me back to my childhood here, i would have love to visit these locations myself. The first Turtles movie is my all time favorite movie, that movie holds a special place in my heart. This was really interesting, again, thank you for taking us with you on this epic journey to see the locations of the original Turtles movie. I got goosebumps when you got to the subway where Raph is saving April and when you went to the place where Raph is meeting Casey. So cool.

THANK YOU! Thank you so much for giving us this. TMNT (especially TMNT 1990) has been such a huge influence in my life all these years, and it still is today. TMNT with a 70's-early 90's NYC vibe will always be the right time and place for this story. I need to visit these spots ASAP. More TMNT/NY videos please!

Hey Justin! 👋 I'm such a HUGE fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I even owned a TMNT handheld game that I played alot!! It was cool too see all the filming locations from the movie. I'm also a HUGE fan of the Ghostbuster movies! I own both 1 and 2 on DVD. Could you find the filming locations of Poltergeist 2 and 3?? Like the house in the 2nd one and the high rise in the 3rd and underground cave where Kane took all those people. It's probably gone though 😕😕

Bleeker Street seemed to almost be a running gag of sorts during the early turtle boy years. Between, “11th and Bleecker? (sniffsniff) Nope! This is only 9th Street! Get it?!”, and the comic mini-arc from the EARLY Mirage years called, “The Bleecker Street Boys” (I want to say it was one of the Pre-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stories, when Raph still had his tonfa). Justin, you have nooooo idea how giddy you made me making this video. I am a MASSIVE Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fangirl, have been since day one. And yes, I also love the current cartoon. It’s all Turtles, and the entire Turtle-verse is beautiful to me. Favorite turtle? Donnie. Period. Donnie is best turtle. Favorite movie version of him? “Secret of the Ooze”. I, “blame”, Leif Tilden and Adam Carl. They gave the Donnie suit so much LIFE! Fav tv version? 2012 Donnie, with Rob Paulsen. 💜😍 Close tie for second is 1980’s Donnie and RotTMNT Donnie. The SASS in both boys, though I’d keep sharp objects away from Rise Donnie. XP
