10 Things You Didn't Know About TMNT III

[@Damirith]

I remember seeing this movie in the theaters with my father when I was 7. I quickly noticed how different the turtles looked during their opening dance number. I turned to my father and asked him why do they look so different and he just told me that they got older. I give him props for quickly coming up with a cover for it.

You forgot one of the more pretty interesting unknown facts about this movie. The martial arts choreography was handled by Pat E. Johnson, who did the fight choreography for The Karate Kid (1984) and also played the ref at the All Valley Tournament. Also, Liu Chia-Leung (Lau Kar Leung), who is considered one of the greatest martial arts/kung fu movie directors and choreographers in film history (Shaw Bros.), was a technical advisor. 😎

[@FlawedCoil82]

I was so happy just to see the Turtles using their weapons again after the extremely distracting second film when they went out of their way to avoid using their weapons (or fight Shredder). There is also some beautiful scenery in this film. It's disappointing that they didn't fight a worthy enemy in this movie, but I still prefer it over SOTO for the reasons listed above.

This was the TMNT movie that I grew up on as a kid, and as I kid, I loved it!! As an adult, I know it's not great, but I do have a soft spot for it!!

[@BondFreek]

Technically speaking, none of the Ninja turtle movies are great. But then again it's based off of a comic book intended to be over the top ridiculous and cheesy. Not just corny but super cheesy. But in my opinion the third entry is more in the spirit of the first film whereas the second film was played for laughs. Think about it. Shredder, when you falls into the ooze, not only grows extra big but his outfit becomes sharper and it too is mutated beyond belief. Which is a scientific and physical and possibility. Then the turtles have time to dance with rappers and the rappers come up with the turtles rap in two and a half seconds. I know rap is easy but it's not that easy. There's a lot of things over the top stupid in turtles 2. Teenage mutant Ninja turtles 3 tones those back down. We get the turtles we got in the first film. No, I'm not talking about the way they look. I'm talking about their attitude and personalities. I suggest that you watch the first movie skip the second then watch the third film. And you'll enjoy the third film much better because you won't have the silliness and ridiculous over the topness in the second film in your brain.

TMNT 2012 did some time travel. They even had Renet. They had the turtles in samurai gear too (with Usagi Yojimbo!). If you’ve never seen the show, it’s actually really good.

[@bubbythebear6891]

From what I've heard, it sounds good, but the art style in that show is just so UGLY! I'm sure that's what they were going for, but the weird way the characters move, and how their eyes sometimes turn completely white is just really off-putting. And then there's the color palette. Maybe some day I'll watch it and enjoy, but from the little bit I saw, I was just turned off.

I'll wager that the toys never caught on due to when they came out. The child audience that was in on it from the beginning was growing out of the toy age.

I mean the first scene Mikey can't use weapon so he uses sausages Raphael can't use his Sai's. Leonardo can't use his sword. Even when later in the movie when he and the rest of Turtles were suspended in a Net and his sword on visible on his back he doesn't use them to cut his way out. TMNT 3 do to fact that it was set in Feudal Japan compare to New York City it became a way to please hardcore fans who wanted to see the Turtles use weapons more but to make things less realistic by changing settings. Come to think of it maybe that was the idea behind costumes so younger viewers could tell the difference between real and fake?

[@Djordje_Jovanovic]

OK, I'll try to explain Turtles in Time subtitle. When the arcade game came out in 1991 it was called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, but when SNES port came in 1992 it was released as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time. The number IV (4) stands as the forth TMNT title for home consoles. The others are: 1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1989) - NES 2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game (1990) - NES. Port of TMNT: The Arcade Game from 1989. 3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project (1991) - NES 4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time (1992) - SNES As for movie's Turtles in Time subtitle, at the time of movie's release, nowhere in the world was the movie called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Turtles in Time. The subtitle was added as a marketing gimmick on home video releases. Kinda like Die Hard 2: Die Harder.

Bingo. I was positive that there was no subtitle for the third movie when it was released but by the time I got my Blu-Ray set 10+ years ago, they were officially calling it Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Turtles in Time. I've wondered if the relative popularity of the game - perhaps in conjunction with the lack of popularity of the film - led them to superficially tie the movie to the game in that way, perhaps to deliberately confuse people into thinking they were related.

I also watched the cartoon and had the toys before I had seen any of the movies. Needless to say I have a special spot in my heart for part 3 and it kinda irritates me when people trash it. Thank you for such a fair and honest take on it.

[@mattp443]

You really should give Stuart Gillard’s 1997 Rocketman a watch; it’s pretty comical and good fun!

[@nsasupporter7557]

Yeah, I loved Rocketman when it came out in 1997. But it was only a fun little movie for it’s time, that was it. It’s not a classic by any means

[@Vivalarosa45]

I remember "Turtle Mania". My little brother roped me into it all when I was a kid. That was a long time ago. TMNT will always bring me back to me playing with TMNT action figures and video games and watching the movies with my little brother.

The TMNT cgi movie was actually surprisingly good. It had a really good consistent style to it that worked

I've heard, regarding the different turtles' costumes, that the actors in the previous films objected to the monstrous weight and mobility restrictions of the earlier costumes, and thus the new company, who promised much more lightweight prosthetics, were brought in so that they might retain the original body-actors. This is hearsay, i can neither confirm nor deny the truth of it.

[@voodoocustompickups2547]

I think it was because Jim Henson didn't design them

[@korymulanax3362]

My oldest brother was a HUGE turtles fan. He had those toys along with like all the others. I was into Godzilla so I would have the samurai turtles fight my Godzilla. Great times. We also had the samurai/ninja lego sets too. Always been into the culture.

That Rocketman movie is funny. I remember it fondly. During deprivation training he sings "John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt!" to the annoyance of the real astronaut in the chamber next to him.

[@m.g.trazor417]

I actually really like the original poster for the movie, it's got it's own identity where as the other ones looked like quick mark-ups from a marketing team. Yeah they feature the turtles more prominently but they come across kind of bland.

[@tonyphillips8726]

I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid with my friends and absolutely hated it. You know a Turtles movie is bad when a group of 9-year-olds are contemplating walking out of the theater...

[@PontiacBandit]

Its just about 4 minutes to 3am... and I am here. What greatness!

[@shinigamihedgehog]

To this day I never considered this movie a bad movie. Although yes, it ramps up the silliness to the max at the end. But dammit, they could make a 4th one today, and build from the past trilogy. I really think they should use the time travel adventure from the 3rd movie, to justify a Renet and Savanti Romero movie plot. Heck that could even lead to bringing back Shredder. The point is, with all sorts of ips going back to the original movie plots (Cobra Kai, Ghost Busters Afterlife, etc) they need to do the same with the original turtles movies.

[@HairyBlackBeard]

As a TMNT fan at the time of this movie, and having loved the previous 2 movies and the cartoon, I enjoyed this movie and still enjoy watching it now and again. It's not the greatest movie ever, but as a child it was a nice departure from dirty NYC sewers and The Foot Clan stuff.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

At least the time traveling thing being based on the comic was something the film got right, so I won't blame the filmmakers for that. Just saying.....even though I didn't see the movies.

@@nebularain3338 agreed. I never knew that the first movie was the only good one until I became an adult. The reason it was dumbed down was because parents were complaining that the first movie was too “dark and rough” 🙄

Classic? No, wouldn’t go that far. It was a fun little Disney movie for its time. But that’s about it. However, it a shame that that guy wasn’t very big, he was hilarious when he was the cop on Dumb and Dumber. He came up with some of the best lines from the film that I still quote next to Lloyd and Harry’s quotes from the film

Best thing about Turtles 3: ZzTop and Casey Jones...which were barely in the movie at all..says a lot

[@calamaty9963]

I love the TMNT Trilogy but understand the criticism it gets. I recall an issue in TMNT comics where Michaelangelo is in the samurai era and befriends a Mitsu like character. In the end he is seen talking to his cat regarding the story he wrote. I also remember the TMNT 3 tag line being “the turtles are back…in time.”

[@analogsignal]

Another Mandela Effect. I distinctly remember the “Turtles In Time” coming up on the screen after the “TMNT III” card swept away. It was called Turtles In Time

[@seanmorgan2356]

Im pretty sure that The artwork in "better Movie poster" is from the arcade version of "turtles in time".
