​@@Chemosh418The OP's transcription of the line is missing key punctuation. It's supposed to be, "Tell me, you didn't pay money for this?" In other words, Raph is suggesting Casey didn't buy the pricey bat but rather stole it.

[@everythingphil9376]

I've seen this movie a million times when I was a kid. I never truly appreciated how awesome the puppets were until now. The facial expressions on the turtles are nearly flawless.

[@MichealSanders-xb8ns]

It still is very impressive, even by today's standards. Now-a-days they just CG everything. 🙄

[@UltimateGattai]

@@MichealSanders-xb8ns No matter how many times I see it, I'm just surprised at how good it looks, I almost can't picture how they would do it since I'm so used to CG now. I really wish they'd use special effects and puppetry more often, it has a different feeling to CG, and sometimes it feels more real.

[@uncletacosupreme7023]

Same here. As a kid, all I knew was this movie was everything! I sought this movie out like a junkie seeks a bag of something. I rented it so many times, the lady that owned our local video center gave me a copy to keep. She is the sweetest lady in the world.

This movie is one my most vivid memories as a child. I refused to tie my shoes the right way and my Dad threw down the "if you tie your shoes right we will go to the movie." I have still, 30 plus years later, never tied my shoes faster.

[@warrenduncan1528]

I loved this movie growing up and recently rewatched as an adult and it still holds up!!!

[@rpsnider85]

I was very lucky in this respect. I was alive and a child for this movie, and I had 3 brothers. We all picked a Ninja Turtle to be, my older brother was always Raphie, I was always Donatello, with the older of my younger brothers being Donatello, and the youngest being Michaelangelo. We made our weapons, and then had battles out back. Great memories.

[@andyg4929]

There's a haunted house at this local pumpkin patch that I remember going to as a little kid(3 or 4) and I DISTINCTLY remember them playing the song Turtle Power" inside this haunted house! My little kid brain thought it was the scariest thing ever, I had nightmares about that place. Of course I went back to it as an adult and it's not even a little bit scary lol. The fact they used that song in a haunted house is perfect, idk why but it is 🤣

[@rredeyee2460]

[@GrapplingIgnorance]

Many have confirmed that it was not Hoag's issue with violence in the film that got her booted from the sequel. It was her frequent advocacy for the well being of the suffering actors in the suits, insisting they get more breaks and humane treatment, which hampered production. The woman is a gem, and the story deserves to be told correctly.

[@leonskum7705]

One my absolute fondest childhood memory was asking my parents for the Raphael toy for Christmas. I waited, and waited and waited for the day. When it came, that morning was almost magical. I still remember opening the gifts (I got Raf, April, Splinter and Shredder). I loved them so much I didn't wanna throw out the packaging. Man, I can almost smell the plastic. What a time to be alive, man

[@DanielBousquet-uo9cz]

You got a Raphael. You lucky lucky...person you, hahaha. I'm 44 years old and still looking for the original Raphael. That was one hard action figure to find.

[@sidekickz2180]

@DanielBousquet-uo9cz I might still have it! (I hope I do). One of these days I'm gonna go digging in the basement and see if I can unearth my old toys (I also need to find the original Jurassic Park "red rex" that I had... that thing is supposed to be worth some decent money)

[@NeilEvans-xq8ik]

[@richardthemagician8991]

I was attending a summer camp when this movie came out. I was about 7 years old. I walked in do the daycare with my mom and the lady behind the desk told me I should look at the wall for what we were doing today. That day we were going to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the theater! My mom knew ahead of time. I was already wearing a Ninja Turtles t-shirt and had my lunch box. I was ready to go! I wish I can get that excited over things again.

Great breakdown MT, but Danny wasn't handing the stolen wallet to Tatsu at the beginning of the film, it was just a random foot ninja. You can tell by the forearm armor he was wearing. Tatsu only wore a robe with baggy sleeves in the movie.

[@ekzoX0]

When I saw this as a 5 year old And later on VHS, I thought it was shredder. I remember me and other kids whispering loudly in the theater “That was shredder mom/dad”. Like I was positive i saw blades on his hand. But after a few replays I realized it was just another footclan member.

[@sithcarebear1]

Sorry MT. I’m a Raphael guy myself. I feel his anger and frustration. 🤷‍♂️ Excellent breakdown for a most excellent film that will never be topped as the franchise continues. Thank you!🙏

[@stevenirving4597]

Raphael Forever!!

[@shanewillis316]

I was born in 1987. The 87 cartoon started my obsession with the Turtles. This movie only made me more of a fan.

[@WombatMan64]

Great breakdown. One correction, at 6:10 you say Danny hands off the stolen wallet to Shredder's right hand man Tatsu; but that was just a regular foot soldier. Tatsu didn't wear the leather vambraces the foot soldiers did, also it wouldn't make sense for Tatsu to be directly involved in the petty theft side of the "business". He was too busy grunting and being the trainer for the upcoming hopefuls.

[@user-mq4xp1gq3q]

The first Turtles movie still holds up. I'm glad no one from the first film listened to Judith Hoag about the violence and the darkness. The sequels proved how wrong her vision was

Donatello was always my favorite! Was the smart one of the group and had a weapon anyone of us in real life could play with by just finding a tree branch.

[@Diditallforthexp]

He always seemed like the best choice. Leo - Ninja skills and debatable leadership? Meh. Mikey - Ninja skills and a party dude? Cool but meh. Raph - Ninja skills and anger issues? No thanks. Donny - Ninja skills and genius intellect/robotic/machinery/mechanical/electronic skills? Hell yeah boy.

[@SuperRoboPopoto]

Nah Mikey was the best. There is a reason he’s the Last Ronin.

[@robertmaylott3659]

@@SuperRoboPopoto respect the opinion because don't think anyone can hate on Mikey, but I was/am a science nerd so always connected with Donnie more. If I had to go with a 2nd it's Ralph. Will say Leo was always my least favorite just because everyone "thought" he was the cool one because he was "designated" as the leader and had the swords but he was just "the muscle" in my view. Donnie and Ralph I always thought had the more interesting backstory/personalities.

When I was a little kid, my neighbor worked for playmates, the company that made the first generation of tmnt toys. She didn't have kids so she used me as test subject if you will. I had every single tmnt toy before they ever hit the market, and before the cartoon premiered. I had some toys that never got released too. Then when the movies came out I got to go to the canadian premieres of the first 2 and got jackets, backpacks and all the other swagg that they made for them. Unfortunately those toys were given away, but my parents still have the jackets and premiere stuff at their house.

MT bro so glad to hear your voice again. We need more you

[@jimmyphelps6037]

These are my favorite Turtles in order Leo because he is the leader and always tries to be responsible and set and example for his brothers while still falling short from time to time and having to reconcile with his failures, Donnie because he is the Brains who invents every piece of equipment they use outside of their core weapons yet he uses the lowest tech weapon of the team which encourages him to be more creative with his attacks, Raph because while he is the most hot headed of his brothers i believe he is really the heart of the family and is the most protective of them and Mikey is only last because i just tend to gravitate to the others because of the reasons i gave but Mikey is also great because despite being the most charismatic and laidback of the group he is actually the most skilled of his brothers usually the most difficult to master weapon of his brothers and while Raph is the heart i believe Mikey is the glue that holds everything together cause without him always staying upbeat and providing the most humor in the family everything would just be dark and gloomy most the time and the family would probably fall apart because of it so although he’s last on my ranking he’s probably the most important member of the team/ family.

[@PlayKetchMedia]

After Casey Jones frees Splinter a young thug tries to stop him and says "we're a family" is one Sam Rockwell.

All four turtles are named after historical painters and sculpters) including Leonardo Di Vinci (full name: Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci), Raphael (full name: Raffaello Sanzio di Urbino), Michelangelo (full name: Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni) and Donatello (full name: Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi). "Di" translates to the word "from" so, for example Leonardo was from Vinci, Italy

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE NINJA TURTLE? Raphael was my favourite. Especially after his 1 v everyone on the roof in this movie.

[@jonathan53356]

This was a great video. I loved the Ninja Turtles as a kid. I watched the animated series a ton. I had the action figures with the carrying case, the Ninja Turtles board games, as well as Ninja Turtles pajamas. When a new convience store opened by us, they had a Donatello mascot come so the kids could take photos. The line was hours long for a Polaroid picture with a person in a Ninja Turtles costume. We didn't care it was the talk of our school for weeks. I also had 2 VHS tapes that had 3 TMNT animated series episodes on them. I must have watched those tapes a thousand times. I watched this film on tape because I was too young to see it in the theater. I watched the second one in the theater. Little kid me thought it was awesome. I watched the first and second movies tons of times. It was an amazing time to be alive and be a kid. Personally, I think this is the best Ninja Turtles movie ever. Even as an adult, I love it. The story, along with it's visuals are amazing. No CGI, and it actually looks real.

Great Video man. This is my 2nd favorite film of all time. Raph and Donny have always been my favs, and this is the best version of Donatello. They really Show his all around intelligence with the jokes and knowledge of history etc. Always thought Raph and Donny would make a great duo. In a way they are both deep loners compared to their brothers. I love how aggressively Donny fights in this movie. His stuntman was on point.

I was ten when I saw this in the theater with my best friend and his little brother and sister. Couldn't stop talking about it on the bus the next day. Turtle Mania indeed!

[@3xfaster]

I was the odd one out, I never really was in to the turtles. The prosthetics costumes just scare me even today. Never watched the cartoon, the intro for me at the time just outright scared me (man was I a scaredy cat!) I know it’s a beloved movie, I’m glad people get so excited for it, and I understand that a lot of folks are kinda mixed on the CGI live action movies and also have high expectations that are warranted. Honestly though, I love production notes about the movie, it’s fascinating the work going in to everything for the film.

[@greenkoopa]

Do you like Ghostbusters? What were you into as a kid?

[@3xfaster]

⁠@@greenkoopaeh, for a young autistic kid then, not many shows where available to me. I absolutely love ghostbusters, just folks wouldn’t let me watch it when I was younger. Honestly puppets scared me, now they are just creepy, the worst ones where the crash test dummies used in safety commercials. Loved Inspector Gadget, Rescue Rangers, Thomas The Tank Engine… guess I could say I was selective (and of course folks didn’t just let me watch anything without supervision) Outside of that, I would catch snippets of reruns of shows but was never able to follow them because I didn’t understand tv schedules or memorize channels back then and when to flip to my favourite shows.
