The Turtles are all actors in suits and each one of them actually has a small role in the film outside of the suits. The guy who plays Michelangelo also plays the pizza delivery guy that Mikey talks to who only gets paid 10 bucks cause he's 2 minutes late. The guy who plays Raphael also plays the passenger in the cab when Raph jumps over the car chasing Casey. The guy who plays Donatello also plays the foot member who slaps April in the subway scene. The guy who plays Leonardo also plays a gang member in the warehouse where Casey has his fight with the foot leader guy Tatsu.

Like many scenes in the movie, the first meeting between Raphael and Casey plays out almost exactly as it does in the original comics. Raph was also the only Turtle to have the same actor for both his voice and suit performance, Josh Pais, whose voice and mannerisms really worked together to make him feel like a very distinct character. Josh, unfortunately, was claustrophobic, and working in the suit was extremely difficult for him, so he did not return for the sequels.

DUnno if it was something on purpose but someone pointed out to me this bit of Trivia. Splinter, being the master that he is, gave each a weapon that teach each turtle to be outside his comfort zone or to learn something about himself. -Leonardo, who's the leader of the team, as the ONLY real offensive and lethal weapons of the group, to teach Him that a Leader must be determined and that once a choice as been made, it cannot be undone, just like the stroke of a blade. -Michelangelo is the one with the most energy and the shortest attention span, He was Given the Nunchuks, who is a weapon that requires discipline, focus and training to master efficiently without hurting oneself. -Donatelo is always portrayed as the one being the more tech savy (if not outright a savant/engineer in the cartoons), he was given the Bo staff, wich is a simple, unassuming wooden stick, to teach Him that simplicity can be the best answer sometimes. -Raphael is the one with the most Anger issues and also the one that is the Loniest of the group, he was Given the Sai's, who are defensive tools, more than weapons, to learn to channel his anger and use it to protect his Brothers and care for them as a team.

This movie was an absolute masterpiece. The characters were portrayed beautifully, and they weren't afraid to go to darker places.

Originally, the Turtles came out as a comic book in 1984. This is drawing largely from that and some aspects of the cartoon. The origin stories here are from the comic book series. The costumes were created by legendary Jim Henson - known for The Muppets. This was probably his final film. Casey Jones with the ski mask was introduced in the comic book. He was based on the character played by Kurt Russell in Big Trouble in Little China and inspired by the idea of vigilantes.

I love this movie. I met Judith Hoag, April, at Comic Con. I just met the original voice actress of April at the recent Terrific-con. The sequel Secret of the Ooze is a pretty good movie even though they were forced to make it less dark and more family friendly because critics and parental groups thought this movie was too dark and violent.

THIS is the absolute peak of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. The PERFECT fusion of the dark, gritty, violent original 1984 comics* and the light fun goofy colorful pizza-loving 1987 cartoon. This was also one of Jim Henson's final project before he died. He died just after the premiere. This movie was the most successful indie movie of all-time when it came out, and held that record for almost a decade, until the Blair Witch Project FINALLY beat it. *The original comics are a parody of Frank Miller's Daredevil comics. In fact, the canister of ooze that mutated the Turtles is canonically intended to be the EXACT SAME canister of chemicals that splashed a young Matt Murdock in the face, blinding him and giving him his radar senses that allowed him to become Daredevil. Where the Turtles have Splinter, Daredevil's sensei is Stick. Where the Turtles battle The Foot, Daredevil battles The Hand. Etc UNFORTUNATELY, this movie suffered the EXACT same fate as Batman Returns, and a bunch of Karens complained and whined about it being too dark and violent, so despite being perfect and amazing and making a mountain of money, the sequel was severely gutted and turned into kiddy junk, just like Batman Forever. And just like Batman & Robin, the next sequel was even worse and dumber. It just went linearly downhill, completely wasting truly incredible potential. The second movie might be worth watching if you just want more Turtles stuff and don't mind it being a lot dumber and more cartoony and kid friendly. The third one....uh.....I can't exactly recommend it.

Its campy, its funny. The cinematographic is amazing the Fights choreography is awesome, the practical effects are top notch, the character's chemistry is out of there and they are acting like young New Yorkers would and its somewhat mature. This WAS the best movie of this time.

There were a few scenes in movies that made me cry as a kid. The scene where Gizmo sings in Gremlins (he’s so cute), the scene where the guide gets killed in Dances With Wolves, and the scene where Splinter tells Raph that he’s always there for him in this movie. Great reaction.

The "oops" moment is the best murder in a kids movie, ever.

As far as the sequels go, I see them the same way as the Batman quadrilogy from 1989 to 1997. They drop in quality but are still a part of the franchise's history. To be more specific, the second film is fun, but had to be toned done because of parents complaining about the violence from the first film. The story was also changed due to either the script or the budget. I don't want to say what the change was. You might know depending on how familiar you are with the TMNT. The third film is known for being horrible, but I'd still watch it over the two films Michael Bay worked on.

I was seven years old when my mom took me to this film (still to this day one of my favorite movie-viewing experiences). I hadn't seen the original comics, but this one definitely caught the "darker" moments. It's also so weird that every big film studio rejected this film, despite both the comics and the original cartoon series were HUGE hits, but Golden Harvest (best known for their action films with Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan) help get it made, making it the biggest moneymaker for an independent movie since the original HALLOWEEN (BLAIR WITCH PROJECT would top it in 1999). Jim Henson wasn't a fan of the comics (he HATED "action fights"), but thought the effects were a perfect project for his "Creature Shop" effect group (which did fantasy films apart from his usual Muppet work). TMNT would be the last project he saw completed (literally dying a month after the film came out; the sequel would be dedicated in his memory)

Still the best looking Turtles movie to date. The turtles and Splinter are perfect.

The opening shot is one of my favorite moments in this movie. RIP to all those people who died that day.

This movie is so much sweater and cute than you can expect. I mean yeah drama, action and comedy I think they have an excellent balance.

TMNT was my jam back when I was a kid. One of the best live action films. The suits look SO much better than CGI.

As a child of the 80’s the VHS releases of anything TMNT, especially the movies, was always a highlight. Edit: The shot of ‘Raphael’ screaming Splinter’s name from the roof of the farmhouse was actually Michelangelo, but they dubbed him differently. In the original version of the script, Splinter being kidnapped and Raph in a coma would have made him take dark turn, which would have been one of the subplots of the film.

My second favorite film of all time. The voice actors are mostly separate from the stunt guys and body doubles, but Josh Pais did both the voice amd body for Raphael (Minus the stunts). This was the last project Jim Henson worked on before he died. Also produced by Raymond Chow and Golden Harvest who did most of Bruce Lee's movies, hence the amazing marital arts. And the Penicillin joke is my favorite. Really shows Donny's intellect

The suits and the animatronics and the puppeteering and the physicality of the turtles (and Splinter) in this movie is a-mazing. Brilliant technical achievements in an awesome movie. :)

Personal fun fact, I'm old enough that I actually got to see the "coming out of our shells world tour" in Brandon Manitoba, yes it was a real thing, there's actually a copy of the concert somewhere on KZread 🤣

And to add some weird trivia to make this comment longer: I'm from germany and the Turtles movies were deemed too dark for kids over here, so they tried to make it more kid friendly by adding way more quirky sound effects/micky mousing to all the action sequences which gives the whole movie a completely different feeling. They replaced every natural punching sound with some cartoon effect. Every single one. It took me all the years to the age of DVD when I could watch the movie in english and realize that its a totally different tone. Seeing them fight without doorbell ringing, coo coo clocks, cymbals or gong sounds for the first time was brilliant!

Thank you!! Also, that's really interesting about the sound effects... It must have been such a different experience watching them without the sounds!

I was 9 years old when this came out and have never been so hyped for any movie and this still blew away my expectations. I laughed, I cried, i don't think I took more than 2 steps without doing a kick or cartwheel pretending to be a ninja turtle on my walk home from the theater lol.

Loved watching yalls reaction to this movie. I grew up on this flick and it still holds up so well.

Saw this in the theatre as a young teen. While it wasn't as good as I had hoped, it was still far, FAR better than I was expecting. I came in as a fan of the original comic, which was a lot more hardcore than the TV show, despite the original premise. Like in the movie, The Foot were human guys in the comics, and the fights were pretty bloody. They could do it because it was an independant comic. I would love to someday see a live action (or even an animated series) that was more like the original comic. I loved your reaction to the movie "The Crow," imagine the turtles existing in a world like that. That was the comic. It was not for kids. Thanks for the great reaction though! This movie still holds a place in my heart :) Btw if you're taking suggestions for movies to watch, my top favourites for reactors to do are Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) and Arrival (2016). I promise neither will let you down.

I just subscribed. You two are awesome and I love this movie grew up on TMNT. Looking forward to other reactions. 😂

Yes another Donatello fan. I was obsessed with the Turtles growing up.

Fun fact this movie took place in NYC, but most of it was actually filmed in North Carolina. The sequel is worthy of a watch, but it's way more toned down to be a kids movie. Parents actually complained that this movie was to dark to be a kids movie.

When I was a kid, I met Ho Sung Pak, the martial artist who did the fight scenes in the Raph suit…he was more famous for playing Liu Kang in the original 3 Mortal Kombat games!

I can't believe you didn't hear about the movies. Wow. That's crazy. I also love the movie toy collection of the turtles. I'm happy to experience this with you. I even love music during the credits. It really gives you that 90's vibe.

The costume design was made to be functional. 35 years later, those live action style costumes could still 100% work.

Mutant Mayhem was aiiiiight. Nothing will ever top the original 1990 TMNT. Infinitely quotable. Fight? Fight. Kitchen? Kitchen. Pork rind? Pork rind.

This is the most accurate depiction of the turtles on film

This was one of the first movies I was allowed to be dropped off with a buddy to watch. I was 11 and loved TMNT This is by far the best live action representation of the Turtles

Top 5 comic book film adaptation of all time, hands down. Great reactions!!!

Fun Fact the voice of Master Splinter was also the voice of Elmo on sesame street in the 90's and 2000's Kevin Clash

Keep it up guys, glad to see another of my favs in your library :)

The whole farm scene lasted for half the movie as a kid. The campfire scene is great. Rafael was able to smile, and Michaelangelo was able to cry.

Awesome! These are MY Turtles Gang. Taking my nieces today for the new movie.

"Hey you guys" -Goonies reference. As an 80's-90's kid, I liked Leonardo the most, based solely on the color of his mask, as blue was and still is my favorite color. As an adult, watching those 90's movies and the remake, I am partial to Michelangelo. I still like the 90's April and Splinter more though.

I gotta 65"4K TV and feels good to watch these with friends and family.

Wise man once said never pay full price for late pizza 🍕 😂

I grew up with Jim Henson's work like Fraggle Rock and other puppet shows. He did such a good job with the design and costumes in this movie. I was so sad when he passed and I was only around 11 years old.

One of my favorites since early childhood when it first came out

I also grew up watching the TMNT cartoon with my favorite character being Raphael. This came out at the best time and I never get tired of watching it. You definitely need to watch the other live action sequels!
