TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES II: The Secret Of The Ooze (1991) Breakdown | Every Easter Egg

[@heavyspoilers]

Big shoutout to MT and Steesh for all their work on this video. Hope you guys enjoy it.

[@kyrdakl7116]

MT is whats kept me subbed, the man is a treasure, his mr popo joke, fucken mint. he always got me cracken up

[@kiyoshiperkins6934]

Love both y'all breaking down the videos, and the hardworking team behind the scene! MT gets bonus points with ya boi for Hailee!

[@UpnJennyWisconsin]

Why does he call himself "mastertainment"? Nobody else does. He embarrassed himself after lying on NewRockstars. A guest asked him a basic question, he couldn't answer. Because he is a liar. Jay Washington asked a simple question. "MT" admitted he lied to NR. F*cking embarrassing. Now the liar- the hack is making videos with sh*tty audio for Heavy Spoilers. PAUL. ... YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS. Horrible video. As usual...... horrible Audio. Terrible and late research. Guess you want to promote cheap stuff huh. Cheap quality.

[@VanMeatBacco]

Hey MT you're my absolute favorite reviewer of all media. bro, you could tell me about the easter eggs found on the back of a cereal box and i'd be all about it. Been following you since your GOTG breakdowns. keep up the great work man.

Bro love the Diddy comment it'll be epic from this day forth. KEEP STAYING PAWZITIVE BRO 👍

[@tkmmkt6569]

Call me crazy if you want but the first TMNT is one of the greatest movies ever made.. think about it, they come to you and tell you to make a live action teenage mutant ninja turtles… no cgi.. and you knock it out of the park.. the turtles looked so good you could do close ups in full light with no issues.. it is like an impossible task but they pulled it off…

[@williamdixon-gk2sk]

You are crazy. Crazy correct. I was talking about this last night with a room full of '80s babies. It's a great film, period.

[@AudioReplica2023]

CGI wasnt an option back then and wasnt the only movie using animatronics. Gotta remember Alien was nearly a decade before this. What im tryna say is the imagination and creativity was there , just nobody ever made the animatronics be the main character. If you think about it they grabbed a muppet character and made a real human in costume carry it around filming it while other people animate the thing and voice it. the tools were there the whole time , the creativity from this people made it seems a whole new thing .

[@fefyfona4318]

I would go as far as to say it was one of the best comic book movies ever made

[@Gayngisconisgayngisconisgay]

They say the same about the moon landing. Then you look at 2001 and realize the movie doesn't look anything like real life.

[@KizzMyAbs]

Especially if your a TMNT FAN

[@herodaresfire4512]

I was definitely one of those kids trying to copy the turtles.

[@Jarrygames86]

Not me. I knew I wasn't a ninja or a turtle. But I enjoyed the movies!!

[@mattcliburn]

My favorite TMNT villain, The Super shredder at the end! Not to mention vanilla ice in here was the icing on the cake

[@NalesnikZdrzemem]

🥁

[@Dhakadice]

Ain't gonna lie, he was the single most Mirage thing in the entire movie. He's also one of the few humans we ever see affected by the mutagen (in an adaption where ooze doesn't turn you into an animal hybrid). I always wondered what he looked like under the mask.

[@Blockburna254]

go ninja go ninja go! 😂

[@LVNCHBOXXX]

have you ever seen a turtle get down?

[@AxelordSMIJES]

I still think TMNT 4: Turtles in Time is one of the best video games of that era.

One of the best, period.

[@BizzyJ1987]

[@Lord_Raptor]

Have you ever messed with a snapping turtle before? Those things are extremely vicious and will snap your fingers off in a split second.

[@Askani-son]

You MUST only ever pick one up by the tail. Theycan bite all the way to theirbutt, frontwards or backwards. Same with "alligator snappers". I'm not joking.

[@Gamesta100]

So imagine a human sized snapping turtle. It could crush your skull in a second flat lol

[@bftvclips8925]

​@@Machete87rights issues too. We had Toka and Razhor because Bebop and Rocksteady were created for the cartoon and the movie only had rights for characters in the book.

[@the-NightStar]

@@Machete87 No it was literally because Kevin Eastman and Peter Laid just really did not want them in. Also Krang was NEVER going to be in the film, the scientist was just going to be an Utrom. Krang was never in consideration for this film at any point.

[@mattbeganie4519]

I loved this movie as a kid and never noticed the drop in quality from the first one.. the Vanilla Ice cameo was 🔥 🤣

[@ReinEngel]

If my parents exchanged my party wagon for a teddy bear I would have burned the house down.

[@Jarrygames86]

No you wouldn't.

[@zom8680]

One of my favorite 90s films, didn't realize Keno caused Shredder to mutate, because the turtles literally say "he must've drank it" a few moments later but it breaking from the karatay impact makes a heck of a lot more sense

[@turnitup19]

Even as a kid, I never understood how Shredder's clothes and armor got super big when the ooze only affects your biological parts. But then again, I was a strange kid.

[@TheBucknative]

The ooze man....the oooooooooze...

[@lowlowseesee]

you were a smart kid. i didnt catch that lol

It’s great to hear that someone is paying attention to all the little things behind-the-scenes and around the TMNT movie, but forgot to mention that the turtles were going around as a music group singing for the fans, which is the reason behind the turtle rap

I loved TMNT 2 as a kid. I watched it so much on VHS that i nearly wore the tape out.

[@Jessmanseventy7]

I had it recorded on vhs. It was right after backdraft which was one of my mom's favorite movies

[@AOTProductions]

17:58 Krang actually made an appearance in the 2003 series as one of the Utroms. Long before the 2012 series, it was an amazing callback to the original cartoon.🤘🏼

[@surge21xx]

They gave an Utrom the name "Krang" as a nod to the 87 Cartoon. The 2012 Series Made the Kraang (yes spelled that way) a whole race than one being and were more brain shaped than the Utrom. I Think the Kraang and the Utrom should both exist in some version of a TMNT series and have the Utrom on earth as refugees from the Kraang who were a warring race on a planet in their solar system... at least, that's my idea. I get 2003 did something like that having Sh'rell being a criminal overlord Utrom, but you could have him and the Foot just be a similar species alltogether.

[@lovetodrawstufff3644]

[@PirataMundoTV]

24:33 The foot soldier on the far right writing on the clipboard is Daniel Pesina who played Johnny Cage in the Mortal 1 and 2 games

[@toewstokane9023]

Just met Todd W Landen the screenwriter for the 1st and 2nd movie back in September here in London, Ontario at comic con and he confirmed his idea to show at the end credits, Professor Perry sneaking off to a broom closet with the can of ooze he had, kinda weirdly stroking the canister and then slowly pulling up his shirt revealing an Utrom. Todd was an absolutely world-class guy too.

[@PatrickRockwell24]

My 9-year old self went to the theaters with a few friends to see secret of the ooze.

[@ekahnoman7331]

31:59 Didn't mention that the Donatello suit performer ALSO had an out of costume cameo as a lead foot soldier before the Shredder returns. I thought this was supposed to be "ALL" the Easter eggs.

The woman outside the apartment at 13:16 is Susie Essman, who has lays the character Susie Green on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

[@clonazepanda]

What is it with people trying to censor everything good, at this point people who constantly complain about stupid stuff like “too much violence” or “bad words are bad” just have a miserable life and have nothing else to do. Imagine if the Last Ronin comic was made into a cartoon or movie, people would go nuts back then.

[@the-NightStar]

Because the film was marketed to children.

[@clonazepanda]

@the-NightStar Yeah, but look at media now.

[@jasperalmoore]

24:25 - My VHS tape used to get scrambled right at this part of the movie, and if I let it go, it would stop the tape. So when I saw Raphael notice Shredder, I knew it was time to fast forward the tape 30 seconds or so 😆

I know its a big ask but please can the 2012 series be covered on this channel? Theres so much in there. As a life long turtle fan (in my 40s now) its actually my favourite to watch as it covers everything turtles related and even things as obscure as Halloween 3!

[@LeonDOro-i6r]

Shredder survives being crushed by a garbage truck at the end of the 1st TMNT movie but he supposedly dies due to being crushed by a collapsed pier while as Super Shredder in 2. plus, Tokka & Rahzar both appear as boss battles in TMNT III: The Manhattan Project

[@cerealjynx]

Also another connection, Splinter is voiced by Kevin Klash who also voices Elmo. One of Splinter's inspiration was Yoda, voiced by Frank Oz who also voices Miss Piggy. Both actors and Elmo/Miss Piggy are characters are associated with Sesame Street, a Jim Henson Workshop tie in.

[@KimbreBaldwin]

Such a great breakdown!! I would love a breakdown of the classic The Karate Kid

[@Viciousverb]

My older sister took me to see this when I was a kid. I remember getting it one Christmas. I was obsessed with TMNT back then. It used to be my favorite one of the 3 that came out in the 90’s but as I’ve gotten older the 1st one became my favorite. I think I can quote most of the lines in this movie because I’ve seen it so many times.

[@alexroof2597]

This was my favorite growing up!

[@JurassicRod]

I wish we'd gotten a proper TMNT 3 where they expanded the story of TGRI and revealed the Utroms. TMNT 2 while not as good as the first is still a really fun film. I loved it more than the first when I was a kid. Corey Feldmans voice never suited Donatello. The TMNT 2 voice was far more appropriate.

[@headaroundit]

wow, seeing the turtles jump off the trampoline cued a memory. That was the coolest shot and had the turtles land out of the air.

[@anthonykequahtooway7410]

[@erikfinkel2717]

I just want to congratulate you all on your serendipitous timing for this breakdown, considering vanilla ice's birthday was Halloween.

[@CyclopsWasRight616]

Just a reminder that the TMNT are NOT mutants by the Marvel definition. They're mutates, like Spider-Man, Hulk and Daredevil. Mutation was done TO them by an outside source.

[@GrapplingIgnorance]

According to Hoag and several of her castmates, her beef with the producers was not about violence in the films. It was about the unacceptable conditions the suit actors were put through during shooting. Hoag is proud of the finished film and was an enthusiastic part of the 30-year anniversary celebration. She's beloved by her co-stars. She would insist they be given more frequent breaks to catch their breath and get water when sweating their asses off in heavy foam rubber during the summer North Carolina sun. A great read is Ken Scott's book, "Teenage Ninja to Mutant Turtle."

[@jamescampbell3090]

13:10 THANK YOU DUDE FOR STATING THIS. This right here is what stunk in the series. TMNT 2 might have not been 100%, TMNT 3 barely scratches the surface. I barely remember a single scene from that movie. It might as well should have been the whole thing they wanted to do for TMNT 2 that you said earlier.

[@DesignByKirk]

I don't know what you're talking about being a "disappointing sequel" ... i LOVED this movie so much more than the first movie as a kid.

[@PatrickRockwell24]

I can't believe parents were so petty in the early 90s. I knew nothing about any of those complaints because TMNT mania was real. I thought it was strange the turtles weren't using their weapons and the film wasn't as dark as the first film.

What I remember from my childhood is that nes bebop and rocksteady were bosses that made me memorize their attack patterns, the cartoon show highlighted they were dumb goons, and the movies made tokka and rahzar hella scary replacements... especially the scam donut scene

[@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28]

Hamilton Perkins was my Sensei, and he was a stunt double for Rahzar and a foot soldier. I have a picture somewhere of him with the turtles without their full costumes on. I was a huge TMNT fan as a kid, so this movie has a special place in my heart, although it isn't as good as the 1st movie.

[@leeroy8936]

Do you ever wonder if April was replaced due to refusing to visit the producers hotel room?

[@boogienightsmarkwahlberg6011]

I will tolerate precisely ZERO slander over this movie. The 1st is UNDENIABLY the greatest dark/gritty interpretation of the TMNT. The 2nd is UNDENIABLY the greatest light/friendly interpretation of the TMNT. The 1st is more related to the comics. The 2nd is more related to the cartoons. I love both of them, and its OK to like both. You dont have to dunk on one to prop up the other.

[@llayton8466]

I love this channel and MT. Thank you for great videos.❤

I love the tmnt lore in your vid.. but damn .. that Mr Popo comment.. OMG.. lol

[@sabakamahusky594]

I heard from a friend that the scene where the turtles are on the couch watching TV before watching April and Prof. Perry. Raph is wanting to change the channel when me mentions "Isn't Oprah on?", that this scene was a slight nod to the Oprah Special that air the TMNT Coming Out Of Their Shells that happened one year before Secret of the Ooze. How this is significant is the Coming Out of Their Shells Tour was touring while this movie was being filmed in 1990

[@jordonatkinson824]

As I kid I loved the film I didn’t know or couldn’t care about any production problems, go ninja go ninja GO!!

[@williamdixon-gk2sk]

Nader was an environmental activist, w/ a major issue being Dolphins caught in Tuna nets. I believe the joke was to complain to him, not thank him. Keeping w/ the films overall message. Also, Tokka wasn't wild. He was a cub from the Bronx Zoo. Still, Great Video bro, Turtle Power!

[@daltysmilth]

I think Michelangelo’s Ralph Nader joke was meant as a reference to Nader’s commitment to environmental causes like cleaning garbage out of the ocean- specifically things like those plastic rings they put on six packs of soda cans, which animals can get caught in if not cut up and disposed of properly. One animal in particular often used as an example was… get ready… baby sea turtles. They crawl in, get caught, and as they grow, their shell becomes deformed and they die. That’s why you should always cut up those soda can rings before you throw them away.

[@Eldenrucidor]

Love this movie, love the first one. The first one is among my top favorite movies of all time. Great little deep dive. Not that I want to be the "actually guy", but the reason why Super Shredder is so dumb, is sort of explained in the movie. Professor Perry does explain to the Turtles that he did contaminate the ooze, in order to make Tokka and Rahzar less intelligent and there more less dangerous. And it's very likely that Shredder's last little vial of ooze is from the very same contaminated batch. Just wanted to point it out, because a lot of people does seem to miss that part, when talking about Super Shredder. Now if the writers themselves had that in mind, is a whole other discussion. XD

[@joshuagorski9452]

19:10 Splinter in this universe = Elmo?

[@wizzydoesdallas3408]

I always figured Keno knew the turtles stayed with April because they took and paid for the Pizza that was being delivered to her apartment and she never called to ask where her Pizza was which was the dumbest thing the turtles could do seeing as how they are trying to lay low and not be discovered.

[@THELIFEOFVIEWS1]

Mikey wanted to thank Ralph Nader because he was a big proponent of the legalization and utilization of Hemp. Hemp makes very strong rope.

[@Charvale]

18:03 I'm sorry to have to correct this - but in the 2003 series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, season 2 episode 8 at nearly 10:35 on their KZbin video (via Cartoon GO) there are two Utroms heading toward the Transmat when one complains about having to use the little feet on the bottom of their body to move, and the one walking beside him literally says "Oh shut up, Krang!" Even though this was meant to be a nod to the cartoon, it did establish Krang as an Utrom.

[@ironreed2654]

It's hard to think of this movie as any kind of failure, loved it.

[@troyrblb44]

I only found out like 2 months ago that since someone complained about the violence of the first movie, the Turtles didn’t use their weapons in this sequel. I didn’t go back and watch to confirm that.
