Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - Angry Video Game Nerd (Re-Edit)

Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 18 and 19: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III review. This is a re-edit of the AVGN two-parter about the third entry in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film trilogy. In the movie the turtles find themselves transported back in time to ancient Japan. It has nothing to do with the game Turtles in Time, but they eventually added that name to the film.

I only found James about 5 years ago. Gutted that I wasn't watching a lot earlier! Still, at least I found him and his amazing content. For me, the man has to be the best yputuber of them all. He's been cr sting original and new content for 15+ years. That is incredible!

Found him in 2009 and been a fan every since..

19:20 in Batman vs TMNT I like how they continue the tradition of a stoic leader "making a funny" at the end of the movie, having batman say "It's Pizza Time"

[@ajcroteau0928]

I love the Army of Darkness poster in the background. Bruce Campbell came to Austin, TX at the paramount where i got to meet him, what an awesome guy :)

[@opaljk4835]

That’s the turtles 3 of the evil dead series. Except 1000 times more fun and memorable for the right reasons

[@brutal722]

The poster for army of darkness is a better movie than tmnt3

18:20 What had really happened was....he went through the water and fell into the Pit II in Mortal Kombat 2. That was a bad fall

[@geroldgrimel4811]

19:15 should have been the cover of the movie.

Raph's smug smirk after the sleezeball line is hilarious.

For James at this point, 1993 was only 14 years ago for him. He was 26 at this point. I hate getting old.

I remember when I went to pre school and saw the album with or without stickers about it. I thought that female turtle was the male probably Donatello or a new one.

[@thejman5683]

Only thing I know about that show was the crossover they had with power rangers

[@mechazoic]

@@thejman5683 You didn’t miss much, it was terrible. In fact there’s a rumour that Peter Laird (One of TMNTs original creators) hates it so much he’s forbidden anyone from ever using the characters created for that series in any other version.

“You were expecting maybe the Addams Family?” - Donatello

[@halfhawk718]

Worst joke ever made.

[@JamesPlaysGames95]

Makes sense why he says "expecting the ninja turtles" on his Addams family review

[@dorothymartinez2592]

It's a terrible joke for a reason because the director thinks it's funny witch it isn't

[@Dimon12321]

Funny fact, James made a reference to this joke in his AVGN's Fester's Quest episode.

[@chupachupins]

I remember hiring this as a kid with my amazing Auntie, you know the kind that's too cool for school. She was awesome, she also introduced me to star wars, back to the future, basically she was a big influence on me. I kept telling her to watch the turtles movie and she never did. So a few years later she took me to hire a film out to watch with her and I convinced her to get Turtles 3. That film broke my heart 😔.

[@MystiqEevee]

[@chom6096]

this is why I love James Rolfe, because even over 10 years later. He's still making quality, consistent content, and he still cares about his older video enough to pick them up again, and give them a touch up. Truly one of the best film makers in history.

It's not him reediting this, lol.

@@I_HATE_CAT_VIDEOS I want to say that looking back at his age when he made AVGN to the present time when he is 40, it's impressive that he's still doing this.
