#NinjaTurtles #TMNT #recap
Since the indie comic first introduced the world to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1984, there have been A LOT of adaptations. TV shows, video games, you name it - but so far, there have been only six theatrical films. Mutant Mayhem - an animated movie produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver - will be the 7th big-screen take on the Turtles when it comes out.
THAT film is set in a new timeline we haven’t seen before, not connected to any of the previous movies or TV shows. But this isn’t the first time the franchise has been rebooted. Depending on who you ask, the previous six films take place in either two or three different timelines.
Doug: Depending on who you ask? Like who, the Watcher?
Ryan: I’ll explain what I mean in a bit, when we get to the first reboot in the franchise. But now you got me wishing Jeffrey Wright DID host a What If? type show with alternate Ninja Turtles dimensions. That would be radical.
Doug: It’d be totally tubular.
Ryan: It’d be bodacious.
[Ryan and Doug high-five and COWABUNGA!]
Let’s go through each of the six theatrical Ninja Turtles movies, in chronological order. We’ll skip the straight-to-video movies, like 2019’s Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, for now.
I’ll also go through how these films adapted the comics in their own ways: sometimes similar, sometimes VERY different. This could give us a good idea of how Mutant Mayhem will be its own new thing, but also a part of the shared legacy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I’m assuming you guys already have some basic idea of what the Turtles even are, right? They’ve been such a pop culture phenomenon for pretty much four decades, so it’s kind of a given. Just in case, the very basic premise that began with the comics - and pretty much is the case for most adaptations - is this: Four baby turtles were mutated with a radioactive ooze that made them smarter and stronger.
They grew up in the sewers of New York City, and were raised by a rat named Splinter, who also taught them Ninjutsu. The turtles are named Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.
Doug: Oooh, they’re all named after famous characters from The Sopranos.
Ryan: What, no, they’re named after Renaissance artists. And they each have a weapon they specialize in: Leonardo has katanas, Raphael the sai, Donatello the bo, and Michelangelo, the nunchucks.
The Turtles typically use their ninja skills to protect New York, and sometimes the entire world. Their archnemesis is the Shredder and the Foot Clan, and most adaptations also involve mutant and/or alien villains as well, like Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang. Allies, like April O’Neil and vigilante Casey Jones, are also usually part of the Turtles’ story. Especially April, who is typically a lab assistant or journalist of some kind.
It’s a story that lends itself well to adaptation. It’s got a strong core premise that can be tweaked in all sorts of little ways, just like other pop culture icons like Batman or Spider-Man. Even details like where the Turtles mutated, who named them, or even whether Splinter was originally a rat or not, change from story to story.
This flexibility in the canon can make some of the movies feel VERY different from one another. Especially since they adapt not just the original comics, which were pretty dark and mature, but also the hit 1987 cartoon that really launched the franchise into the mainstream.
THAT version was a Saturday morning cartoon primarily meant to sell as many toys as possible, and was very different from what Ninja Turtles creators Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman originally envisioned. The movies, in their own ways, take different elements from both the darker comics and the kid-friendly cartoon and combine them into something entirely new.
So let’s start with the very first theatrical movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which came out on March 30, 1990. Directed by Steve Barron and written by Todd W. Langen and Bobby Herbeck, the movie was fairly low budget, made for less than 14 million dollars.

[@ScreenCrush]

What's your favorite TMNT movie?

[@bitterbaldguy]

I'm a weirdo but TMNT

[@samgoeshiking]

The first. Epic film.

[@banonKING]

The original. Saw it in theaters when I was 8. Perfect representation of the franchise at the time.

[@5FlyingOstriches]

The 3rd one is objectively terrible, but is still my favorite by a mile.

[@patchrockit]

@@5FlyingOstriches All 3 of the original films have such different feels, times, directing, actors. I love all 3 still for their own reasons. The first was the intro/darker hello. 2nd was more colorful and comical, the third was a great mix of both, but less dark, lighter toned, cool effects and different characters, but still rewatchable! It's going to be 2024 soon and i think it'd be badass to see a practical live action TMNT again/

[@Jaysin412]

Casey jones saying "whoops" as he hit the lever for the compactor on the garbahe truck was a chefs kiss. Like, bro, you just murdered that guy... lol

[@Starr_Apathy]

I always loved that too! Hahaha oh Casey... You mischievous scamp.

[@DoctorZisIN]

The original is by far the best. It followed closely the story from the comics, it was gritty, funny and had great action. Raphael vs. the foot on the roof is a genuinely good martial arts sequence. Fans of the comic were excited to see the turtles on the screen and the movie didn't disappoint. It was an 80's classic like Ghostbusters, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future or Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

[@mdl_4042]

I come for the breakdowns and easter eggs but I stay for Doug lol. I love that dog 🐶 ❤

[@taylormadealpha]

I wonder if there will always be a Doug. When his time comes, will he give us the next Doug or name them something different? U know, Doug then Doug II then Doug III and so on lol

[@redcomet0079]

TMNT 1990 is the GOAT “Pizza dude’s got 30 seconds” 🍕

[@ph34rbucket91]

Wisman says "forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza"

[@To-B-Continued]

One of my favorite parts of the original 1990 movie was hearing Raph yell, "DAMN!!!" when he lost his sai.

[@_The_Archive_]

Fun Fact: One of the early ideas floated around that the film would follow a similar approach to Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) in which the actors would be interacting with animated versions of the turtles. However, this idea was quickly scrapped in favor of pursuing performances in turtle costumes from Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

[@FlashStudios1934]

I think that could have worked, if they changed the designs. The bright smooth and colorful designs of the 80s show just wouldn’t have worked.

[@Elvusmiw]

Source?

[@Lakerlova83]

​@@FlashStudios1934that's actually a pretty cool idea

[@Lakerlova83]

Thanks for the fun fact. Definitely would have made for an interesting movie and look for sure.

[@solvseus]

Test footage unfortunately gave the turtles a more aqua or teal look, and they decided to scrap the story about the villain rounding up other mutants, which wound up being used in this movie. The earlier movie title of course being: Harvesting Blue Mutant Turtles, which was close to the original name for Star Trek.

[@georgemgomez1386]

I want to see them do a direct sequel to the original 1990 film! Keep that original dark ready independent feel...

[@BenSlashes]

Absolutely not true. I dont know if Nostalgia is blinding some people, but the first movie wasnt dark either. Both movies have the gritty Atmosphere. Yes Ooze is funnier, but that doesnt make it worse. Both movies are great in ther own way but Ooze is more enjoyable.

[@georgemgomez1386]

@@BenSlashes of course not it was designed for kids as it should be but I still think it was a lot darker than any other TMNT production they have ever made. I just think if they made a direct sequel with the original aesthetic and feel and costumes and they continued the comic book story maybe even did the last Ronin in that style it would be amazing!

[@eclipticender281]

100%. Take original movie like the 1990 version, where they use their weapons, fight, and keep it light hearted like first but yet darker with the fighting

[@yogabumlife]

What about the elevator beatboxing scene? The best part of the Michael Bay movies 😂

[@Starr_Apathy]

I agree. That scene was pretty amazing...and kinda what was missing . More of that. Less explosions. Haha also why I loved the new film so much! The focus being on the turtles and their brotherhood was excellent!

[@PaulRizzo]

There’s the 1990 movie, then there’s everything else. Nothing will ever touch that first flick. They got it perfect the first go.

[@alexnazario8335]

The 90s OG was my very first turtles movie… still A classic … nothing comes close to it..

[@Dnicebane108]

Your rendition of T.U.R.T.L.E. power made me happy lol

[@stubbysidwell]

Damn I miss being so excited to wake up to watch Turtles on Saturday mornings. Hopefully Mutant Mayhem can deliver what my childish side has been dreaming of.

[@Starr_Apathy]

I hope it did for you. I have to say. It kept me smiling the whole time and man I loved that art style! And that score is 🔥🔥🔥

[@Mexicanandwill]

The first one is a classic, watched it this past weekend. TMNT was vastly underrated and is easily the second best one.

[@ryudex007]

Wow! Back in the day my best friend and I saw the first Turtles movie 4 times in 1990. It was all about the "God I love being a TURTLE" line for us!! We saw every one after that in the theatre the day they came out until "Out of the Shadows". My friend passed away in 2019, so I hope to bring her son and daughter to see it in her honor. She would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE L O V E to see this new one getting the Seth Rogen treatment. It's gonna be lit AF! Thanks for the great recap Ryan! PEACE!

[@Starr_Apathy]

I loved reading this! I am so sorry for your loss though:( I really hope you guys enjoyed the new film! I personally loved it.

[@ryudex007]

@@Starr_Apathy Thank you! I wasn’t able to take them to see the movie, but I did take my two sons to see it. I put up a pic of her on my phone, turned it towards to screen and had her watch that way. So, our streak is intact! Thank you for the kind words Starrapathy8436! You’re a real one! ✌🏾

[@cheekster777]

This was a great trip down memory lane. Wouldn't call myself the biggest TMNT fan but I have seen all of the feature-length movies including Mutant Mayhem. Thanks Ryan. 🙏

[@gamhuin]

I'm old, so been a turtles fan since the original animated series when I was a teenager. My favorite movie is the first one and my second favorite the CGI TMNT movie. I'm really looking forward to the new one. My favorite tv series is the one from 2003-2009.

[@jennneff8555]

The Popsicles are probably the most cursed Ninja Turtle products and probably the best at the same time.

[@chrisv9000]

If ONLY the tmnt has demented popsicles - there was also spidey, sonic, tweety, and poor mario

[@GabyGibson]

They tasted good, too

[@LucyInNightmares1]

the 1990 movie is the only one I care about. Had it on VHS as a kid. Was obsessed. Still holds up today. The acting, the costumes, the puppetry, the fight scenes, the voice acting and the dark, grungy grit of it all. It didnt feel like it was babying up as kids. Love it.

[@dac985]

Dude I fucking love this channel so much. Not that Ryan needed any more nerd cred but the fact that he beat that tmnt nes game is a huge one. I bet that’s a 1% of players achievement.

[@andyc8778]

Great video didn’t know you were that knowledgeable about ninja turtles. I’m 35, been a fan my entire life. The new movie was great and hopefully it can grab a new generation of kids as fans

[@Starr_Apathy]

Same! It would be so great to see them come back in a big way again. I loved the time of the new film and definitely would like to see it as a trilogy.

[@MichaelandConnor]

literally stopped this vid to listen to turtle power when u mentioned it, still slaps.

[@ChronoCritic]

In the 2007 CG film, the trophy room at the end of the film shows the Shredder's helmet and the time scepter from the earlier live films, cementing it as a sequel to the original trilogy.

[@spotlightfight123]

I grew up on the live action. I hope this one doesn’t disappoint.

[@Pinkorchid72]

Saw the early release and loved it!

[@Starr_Apathy]

​@@Pinkorchid72same! It was a lot fun!

[@GabyGibson]

I actually got to meet Kevin Eastman himself at a comic con! I asked him how they thought of the names for the Turtles and he told me that they were looking at Japanese names, English names, even Spanish names! But because he's an art major they decided to go with the Italian Renaissance painters. And originally Donatello would have been called Bottecelli. Very good video, guys

[@BadMoon80]

The first TMNT film was the best superhero movie of all time IMO.

[@tmoore4075]

First live action movie was so good. Liked the 2nd movie as a kid but very Batman Forever vs Batman comparing those 2.

[@kodak49]

I feckin love that you dug up the VCR recording of Ryan beating the game

[@davidchism6081]

4:50. Question! D'oh, what? Do you want Penicillin(mold) on your pizza? Ooh!! (Starts humming TAPS)

[@Lxiv89]

The emotion in the first one cannot be beaten. From raphs anger to the emotion with splinter. And the humor with donny and Mikey, chefs kiss.

[@LycoLoco]

The score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross is just absolutely a banger. Give it a listen!

[@Starr_Apathy]

Agreed! I have been listening to it even after seeing the film. It compliments the art style so freaking well!!! If a sequel happens... They have got to bring Trent and Atticus back! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Gardenstateking]

Loved loved loved this entire recap! Absolutely nailed it. My first exposure to TMNT was the Saturday morning cartoon and I was hooked! Then the first two movies were the shit. Its fallen off after those as far Im concerned even though I still tuned in. Cant wait to see this new one!

[@Starr_Apathy]

I hope you liked the new one. I feel that same way about all those interrations of The Turtles. I also really enjoyed the new film too.

[@jasonthedave6140]

It might be the nostalgia talking, but I loved 3. Watching them again with my daughter. She loved the first one

[@Starr_Apathy]

I personally liked all 3 of the first films too. Just because something isn't as good as another one- doesn't make it trash. Ppl are too harsh. I say if you like it- that's all that matters!:)

[@sneakdza]

Power Rangers In Space & Ninja Turtles was one of the randomest weirdest but coolest crossovers 😂

[@cheekster777]

Watched the new movie at lunchtime today. Really enjoyed it. 😎 Thank you Ryan.

[@chadcognac5626]

Going to see this tonight. I knew you’d come through with a recap! Thx!

[@Shrider_180]

TMNT 3 is my favorite and im ok with dying on that hill alone

[@jasongallagher5464]

My father and I tried to see it one night in Montclair, NJ and the theatre we were in was like insane so we decided to bounce and we went to Palmer Video down the road and I rented either Fright Night 1 or 2. I was like 7. Good times

[@jamesoblivion]

The OG movie was, and remains, one of the most faithful comic book adaptations ever. They took key scenes from the first few years of the comics, often nearly verbatim, and built a narrative throughline for them. They just PG-ified everything to be suitable for kids who liked the cartoons. No gore, no decapitations, no beer for the underage mutant brothers...but they stayed true to the lore and events of the comics. They adopted elements from the cartoon series, but did so wisely, not in a way that clashed with the more comic-centric narrative. For example, using April's cartoon job as a news reporter as the key to investigating the Foot, and ultimately bringing the Turtles and Shredder face to face. The script was very well thought out, faithful to the source material, and had humor, heart, and plenty of drama and action. The Henson suits, Hong Kong stunt team, gritty tone, the cast, and everything else, all come together to bring that script to vivid life. It's been diminishing returns ever since, in terms of feature films. The 2007 animated movie was...fine, but none of them come close to capturing lightning in a bottle the way that first film seemed to do instinctively. But I always hold out hope for another great TMNT film.

[@BenSlashes]

I saw Mutant Mayhem. Besides some very questionable lore changes and the Potatoe design for April, the movie was great. I give it an 8,5/10.

[@spinjitzumasterfalcon]

Hey, how come they skipped Rise? That movie was incredible! And possibly my favorite TMNT movie of all time

[@WeAreInstraMENTALS]

That's probably because it was an ending to a whole nother TV show

[@misterbennnn]

@@WeAreInstraMENTALS He said at the beginning that they won't cover direct-to-video movies, just major theatrical released. Rise was the best, tho

[@DTreaN14]

Fun fact the weapons used by the turtles are direct opposite of what they’re personalities are Raph uses the Sais because they are used for defense and he’s more aggressive and always wanting to fight Donnie is a tech wiz and really smart so he just has a stick Leo is the most reserved and not prone to being aggressive like Raph so he’s given the katanas and Mikey has adhd and is extremely erratic and can’t focus on one thing so he was given nunchucks to better contain his focus which also makes him the strongest turtle and why he was the last Ronin

[@TazerOnlineMedia]

Original 3 films and the original cartoon all the way

[@jeffdeboer1679]

I still remember seeing TMNT III in the dollar theater and I still felt like I wasted my money.

[@FloFlo060]

The first turtles movie will forever hold a special place in my heart

[@NBAMalakai]

TMNT is underrated and has the best cast and best portrayals of the characters. Hot take i know nerds finna be mad

[@grumpyoldnord]

GO NINJA, GO NINJA, GO!

[@treavorrennick1247]

I'm more excited of the possibility of @AlamoDraftHouse creating a pizza on their movie special menu with that crazy gooey stretchy cheese just like in the cartoons

[@Ravenna_Black]

How can you not count the Turtles Coming Out of Their Shell Tour.

[@greenar04]

WHAT! You show a clip the NIN Peter Murphy recording in a TMNT explainer! This just became cinema for me

[@Zooted504]

I remember dancing my ass off to Go Ninja Go and kept rewinding the VCR as a kid.

[@willdotchill7607]

Born in the 80's TMNT was exactly my time growing up. Ernie Reyes Jr. was a big part of the first movie as Donnie's stunt double and also Starred in the 2nd movie, always thought that was cool, but the 3rd movie was my favorite with the time swap in Japan. Watched the new TMNT today with my 14 yr old and she loved it and so did I even though the story changed, I thought it fit well for today.

[@SuperBrooklynite007]

Man it’s a mind trip to realize that next year they’re going to be 40

[@savesnuffles1015]

Turtles Forever is still the best

[@beeslikesteve]

God I’m going to watch this so hard

[@jamesoblivion]

Josh Pais was only in the first movie. In Secret of the Ooze, he was replaced by Laurie Faso (voice) and Kenn Troum (suit). Pais gives my favorite performance out of any of the Turtle actors, and I think it's because he delivered a full performance that was uniquely him, whereas with every other Turtle, in every other movie, it's always two guys...one in the suit, one doing the voice. Josh Pais gave us a brash Brooklynite turtle who talked with his hands, and always had the same attitude in his mannerisms and his voice. There was a cohesiveness to it. Unfortunately, he was also claustrophobic, and working in the suit was a nightmare for him, so I can't blame him for not wanting to go through it all again. Nor for not wanting to return just to voiceover someone else's physical performance. I do miss him in the sequels, though.

[@Commanderconklin]

I would have loved to see the 2007 animated movie get a trilogy. That had great animation and balance

[@taylormadealpha]

I was the target audience for that first film. Dated myself but that's ok! It was my first one but two came around when I was a little older and really connected w it. Van Winkle...Vanilla Ices ninja rap was some radical stuff.

For the TMNT 2007 you also missed an actor called Mako Imawatsu be voiced splinter and he’s also in Iroh in Avatar the last airbender

[@quentinbrownbrown6044]

The first Michael Bay movie was my fav. For me it more closely resembled the graphic novels and those were ninja masterpieces 🖼️

[@warl0ck666]

Thanks for this recap, looking forward to Mutant Mayhem. My first experience with turtles was the 87 cartoon aired on british Sky One. Where they actually were called hero turtles, not ninja turtles. I was 11 when the first movie hit theatres and my mom and dad had to come with me both. Lol, would've done that again, in fact, I'm bringing my 12yo kid into cinema on Thursday to see this haha. I also liked the out of the shadows adaptation, it had all I wanted from 90s in a live action movie.

[@LostinaMemory]

A few of the pop up graphics that show the title of the movies in this video say "Tron Legacy (2010)" lol

[@michaelpapp5518]

My favorite is the Rise of the TMNT film. It used to be the 1st 90’s movie.

[@EclipseDj]

As much as I love the TURTLE POWER rap. It always irked me that he said “Raphael, he’s the leader of the group” We all know that “Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines. Raphael is cool but crude, Michelangelo is a party dude!”

[@grimwriter9889]

Casting of Rocksteady and Bebop are killing me. Rocksteady went from WWE's Sheamus to WWE's John Cena and Seth Rogan is playing a warthog for the 2nd time

[@medaanhil4133]

[@positivevibetec]

Doug got a thumbs-up for saying they were all names of people from The sopranos

1990 TMNT all day. Still holds up. Still makes me laugh. Also, don't sleep on the 2006 version. Maybe the strongest story since 1990. Shame on you, Michael Bay

[@Lifecounselor710]

Fun fact the early TMNT RPG game is amazing. The pdf rules are out there

[@s.b.9298]

We all know that the 1st one (1990) was The One, and I have to agree that the 1st Michael Bay one wasn’t as bad as I though it was going to, he did that with the Sequel to that movie (🗑️), let’s see if this new one will be good, it’ll be getting my money this opening week.

[@R4ng3rGh0st]

The 2003 and 2007 TMNT shows/movies are my favorite, the 2003 series is the first time I hear a “your mom” joke and the 2007 just has a good story and I’ve seen it a bunch of times

[@youngcartertt2]

Saw it today, my son liked it. It was good.

[@battlestar976]

I thought they look a bit younger in TMNT. I personally consider the movie stand alone with their version of the previous films events which is why they have all that trophy stuff.

[@thecunninlynguist]

They met the power rangers 😂 Venus was such an odd addition

[@foleylione]

The first one was the best. Creators who loved Ninja Turtles with the least amount of corporate influence.

[@moonskeetz]

Not to mention in TMNT you can see the time traveling scepter thing thing from part 3.

[@chadcognac5626]

I’ve never seen Evan Goldberg so much in my life.
