Fun Fact: Shredder and the Foot Clan's hideout were filmed in an abandoned cement factory called the Ideal Cement Factory outside of Wilmington, North Carolina in Castle Hayne. This location was also used as the set for Dinohatton in Super Mario Bros. (1993) and Top Dollar's nightclub in The Crow (1994).

This is still the best film adaptation of the turtles (insert dontay wilder meme here). Its clear that this film did not have the issues that from part 2 onward (aside from tmnt) would have, a creative team that understood the material and no studio interference. What many people forget is that tmnt 1990 was an independent film, as no studio would touch the script, and when it was released, would become the highest grossing independent film until it was dethroned by blair witch project,

One of the few movies I can say I've seen about 100 times. The suits were Jim Henson at his best, and it's impressive the stunts they were able to pull off. And as much as they borrowed from the early Mirage comics, I LOVE that the film ended on a familiar note from the cartoon. Also, for such a set-driven movie, you never get that sense because of how well they captured NYC. Lastly, Corey Feldman as Donatello! ☢ 🐢 🥋 ⚔ 🍕

Amazing how the second film would have been more what was expected of a live-action adaptation at the time, but the fact that the first film manages to get the feel of the dreariness of the original comics while also blending in some of the color and lightheartedness of the animated show of the time and not make it feel off balance is quite a miracle looking back.

Was there in 1990 when this film came out. The late 1980’s, early 90’s punk/crime setting just fits the Turtles world perfectly and simply can’t be replicated today. I’m very grateful for the filmmakers who decided to not water the film down all that much for kids. Shredder to this day is absolutely intimidating beyond belief. As a full grown adult, I appreciate that fact more and more each time I watch the film today. No matter how much CGI and motion capture continues to evolve, this film proves that you simply can’t beat actors, in suits, in front of the camera, giving it their all. Easily one of the best comic book films of all time.

Animatronics haven't really advanced much since Jim Henson died. TMNT is the last thing Jim worked on before he died suddenly in 1990. Animatronics now are mostly used at theme parks to perform stunts that are deemed too dangerous for stuntmen to perform. But the advancement of CGI since 1990 has greatly advanced.

Should be noted that the multicolored bandanas actually came from the Playmate's line which then had the animated show produced to advertise the figures. According to the Mirage guys Playmates didn't think they could sell 4 identical turtle figures if only their weapons were different so Peter Laird came up with the colors for each of them of course David Wise from the animated series used to argue he came up with everything but you can't deny that Playmate's was the one that shopped the figures around to animation studios looking for a series...

I once heard David Wise claim that he didn't create the Turtles, just everything about them that made them popular, which just isn't true at all. Kids weren't tuning in to see the antics of April's annoying Channel 6 co-workers or any of his contributions. Peter Laird recounted on his blog a lawsuit between Mirage and the cartoon people where they were trying to take credit for stuff that they didn't actually come up with, such as putting April in a jumpsuit.

This is definitely the best movie adaptation of the TMNT comics, as none of the other TMNT movies actually adapt any of the comics. It also happens to be the best in terms of just being a movie. The 2003 cartoon made by 4Kids was also a good adaptation, even though it also changed some elements. A large part of that was due to the fact that co-creator Peter Laird was heavily involved with this cartoon.

I still remember how disappointed my friends and I were with Secret of the Ooze when Rocksteady and Bebop weren’t in it, but the “Go- Play… have fun” scene was awesome to young me. Pushing over power poles with the subtle humor of “let them get their own cab” by the unphased New Yorker was perfect And while Super Shredder is kinda dumb, I still love EVERY. SINGLE. FRAME that he’s in. From helmet to the sound of spurs when he walks to give life to the oversized armor… still not sure how drinking a small vial changes your clothes and armor… but for all it’s many many faults, it’s just a fun movie that does a great job of expanding on the original… I’m just glad they didn’t do a third TMNT movie after Ooze… Because they *didn’t* They stopped at 2 and nothing more came of that era of movies or specials or anything of the sort Just 2 movies… yup… one beloved and one that’s not as good but still a solid sequel before calling it a day That was a wrap as they say on the 2 movies and nothing more for TMNT

The 2012 series on the other hand was serious when it needed to be, had amazing voice acting and the crossovers with the 80's/90's Ninja Turtles was actually fun and brought back original voice actors and was respectful.

It also is really good at showing crime in a more nuanced way and how disaffected youth can be manipulated by someone who values strength above everything. And it still is funny and the fight scenes hold up.
