Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 and 2 - The First (and best) TMNT Films - Rental Reviews

On this episode of Rental Reviews, the guys at Cinemassacre video review the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, which closely follows the storyline from the Mirage comic books, in addition to some of the more lighthearted elements of the cartoons. The film tells the origin story of Splinter and the Turtles, their initial encounters with April O'Neil (Judith Hoag) and Casey Jones (Elias Koteas), and their first confrontation with The Shredder and his Foot Clan. The first sequel, titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, expands on the Turtles' origin story while claiming the distinction as Vanilla Ice's film debut.

Turtles 1 is criminally underrated, not just as pop culture, but as a legit film. It's got character arcs, coherent themes, good fight choreography, good acting, practical effects, and authentic feeling 80s NY atmosphere.

[@kindnessofwooedandwooer2494]

[@Hamstergeval]

The acting is B-level at best. If you're new to the tmnt series and you give them this movie to watch, they wouldn't enjoy it. It's mostly a nostalgia trip for the people that still love it.

[@devondunbar4179]

Well said, man. I totally agree. Every time I return to that movie I'm amazed at how actually great it really is. One thing I would add is that it is overall very well directed. Great editing, pacing and it's very well photographed.

[@ninjaturtlemaster24]

Its a great movie with fantastic fight choreography and costumes as you said, Great music too. We watch it now and its still way better than any of the new turtles anime or reboots etc. The reboots of 2014, 2016...nobody cares. But the 1990 one....remains well loved even to this day. In fact, the 1990 movie is probably the most popular adaption of the turtles, even more popular than all the ones made in 2000s.

[@NGEvangeliman]

It is because Henson's Creature Shop did those. Later costumes become shit because they hired cheaper companies.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Attack of the Missed Opportunities

[@justinopperman4204]

Saw in the theater and went to rent it the day it was released, all the copies were out so my mom bought me the VHS. Was like Christmas and I still have it almost 30 years later.

[@zednotzee]

yeaah, i got rid of a ton of VHS and my VCR when i was making room for a baby. But kept the OG Star Wars trilogy, my copy of Predator, and TMNT

[@rlam905]

It was one of those movies where as a kid it blew your mind that they actually made such a live-action movie and the excitement to see it was unmatched.

Gotta take a day and drive to that movie theater you guys mentioned. I'm only about an hr-ish away from there.

I wish they would make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4, a direct sequel to the original trilogy, all live action, no CGI.

[@zenkim6709]

In a way, there was a 4th live -action installment 2 the original movie series, but it barely made it onto the cinematic radar. Last I remember, the plot involved the original 4 turtles encountering a 5th turtle -- 1 who specialized in the mystic aspects of the art of ninja. Oh, & this new turtle was a female.

[@Bauglir100]

@@zenkim6709 That was Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. And it was a TV series, not a movie. It was made by Saban and even had a crossover with the Power Rangers in Space.

[@thegoodreylo4749]

The 4th movie is TMNT (2007)

[@DeletedMediaYoutube]

That computer animated Nickelodeon Turtles show actually spent a whole season on the farm with the turtles recovering from a fight at the end of the previous season. That show was awesome. They met their 1988 cartoon counterparts, they did Wingnut and Screwloose amazingly and modernized the old theme song to a pretty insanely catchy new theme. Original mutants and ones that tied to the movies and og cartoon was awesome to see on tv along with their playmates toys back on shelves at toys R us.

Were the 80's versions CG? Weird. I remember the 2003 series did a crossover with the 80's version too.

2012 TMNT is the kid with rich parents who got to do all kinds of cool stuff and it's fun hanging out with them because they have all these amazing stories and cool toys 2003 TMNT is the smart, creative kid with fucking integrity, but they're poor and they have oppressive backwoods parents so they can't really do anything fun, and nobody wants to go to their house.

I was always impressed by the camera work and the lighting. Great staging.

[@jasoncreedfilms]

Here's something that few people remember: I think Pizza Hut had this promo. There was a scene when Vanilla Ice is singing that one of the turtles spin kicks one of the enemy. Pizza Hut gave out a small booklet with 100 images in it and on every page was a single frame from the movie. So as you fan through the pages, you would see the "motion picture" of the turtle spin kicking the enemy in real time. It could of been 24-48 pages. It was cool for early 90s.
