Here's 7 MORE Facts from the 1990 TMNT Movie - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0j1GWqdBGVU.html

Still the best Turtles movie to date

Even as a kid, I was 5 when the first movie came out, I thought it was the best turtles movie. Even to this day, 31 years later, it's still the best one.

"too dark, too much violence" BRUH still the BEST TMNT movie ever.

Adults all thought it was too violent when us kids thought it was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!! It was so dark and real and still so funny and friendly.

To this day, I'm still impressed how visually stunning that film is.

I loved these movies as a kid, still do as a 37 year old woman.

The physical special effects of this movie still impressed me to this day and I’m 37. It just looked so real! As if there were living and breathing! Their skin looked as if they were really sweating! It’s amazing how well some special effects costumes and Ana Trinidad looked back then!

These Turtles look more realistic than any GCI characters. My favorite movie of all time as a kid

one of the greatest delights of my childhood- watching this at an honest to god drive in sitting on a blanket on the hood of my dad's car.

The violence is the best thing about the movie. Screw the childish sequels.

Stunt men lost 20 pounds wearing turtle suit. But april cant bring herself to wear a yellow jumpsuit.

As a kid, I didn't notice any of these things while at the theater (or any other time).

Those were such innocent times back then as a kid growing up and being thrilled when the movie came out. Never forget how my friends and I were so excited about the movie that we literally begged and cried to our parents to bring us to the theatre to watch it. It was all we could talk about.

That looks like Krang trying to come out of Donnie! 😨

The only TMNT Live action film that Leonardo uses his katanas to actually cut a foot soldier. Roof top scene before shredder appears. Strikes around the foot soldier's shin area. Though it the movie and within the sequels his katana were used to block, aid, and cause a distraction with his attacks. An amazing movie that I still enjoy today

Back when a Ninja turtle movie actually had ninja in it. Loved watching this as a kid growing up

My Cousin and I saw this in theaters when we were little kids...then went to see the 30 year anniversary re-screening last November together, it was epic. I remember we were looking down the sewer drains in the parking lot on a rainy night after the movie. Hoping to see the Turtles.

Despite nods to the 1987 series, this was still the most faithful and well done TMNT adaptation to date. Shredder with the red outfit making it all the more epic, and James Saito nailing the role. Judith Hoag was the best April too. I do admit though, the editing crew not catching the donatello creepy mouth moment is wierd. The rest are honestly passable but you'd think they would've wanted that removed.

Happy to see this film is still relevant and beloved. I was in elementary school and TMNT was huge. I'm not embarrassed to say going to the theater to see it is Still the most epic movie experience of my life.

You know, I've seen this movie a billion times and never noticed that crewman in the background of the Raph and Leo scene before. Now I won't be able to unsee it.

Best TMNT movie by far. Loved it as a kid and still do. I always crack up when they mention the complaints about the violence in this one. To this day I still don't think the violence in this was any worse than what you'd see on network televison.

I was eight when this movie came out. To this day, this, and The Secret Of The Ooze are the only only two TMNT movies I actually like! And TSOTO gave us what I consider to be the best looking helmet Shredder has ever had. I'm talking about the pre-Super Shredder one with the saw blade spikes on the three prongs!

This movie got played once every week growing up. "I love being a turtle!"

the best movie in the series by far. the darkness of this movie brought it to life.

I loved the ninja turtles live action films there a stable of my childhood

3:37 He was successful for my eyes! Well done crew man, well done

Every time I find out about some one loosing a sibling or loved one, Leo watching over Raph in the tub is my emotional reference for the grief.

Loved this movie so much when I got it on vhs as a kid, I played it everyday during the summer until it stopped working and burnt the vcr.

So many good memories from this movie, man I love being a 🐢💪🏼

I looove being a turtle! lol! Im nearly 40 and still a HUGE fan😻

Wow, the costumes & animatronic work look better than 70% of the stuff we have now.

Anyone remember the green VHS? T-U-R-T-L-E POWER! I'm still in love with April.

Such a good film. The Dark tone have it some extra staying power.

Did we forget to Mention that the Only Famous Actor to do a Voice of the Turtles was Corey Feldman who Voiced Donatello, but didn't Voice him in Part 2, but to Return for Part 3 to Voice Him again???

"come on, how do you expect to beat me?" 200 footsoldiers show up " Good answer... Good answer" still one of the best lines in turtle history

Love the live action. Is just so great to watch.

My all-time favorite childhood movie! I watched it so much I could quote it, but I only knew of two of those mistakes until now. 😂

Man I remember going to the theaters to see this movie and there has yet been a turtles movie as good as this one

While its too soft... it was actually written into the story in the books adaptation that Raphael was beaten so badly his shell had become soft. A symptom many turtles suffer when their health is compromised.

Henson was upset at the violence? lol. What did he think this was? My Little Pony? What did he think ninjas do? Sit around and have tea parties?

Being born in 84 i absolutely loved the teenage mutant ninja turtles my 5th bday party was tmnt.

The crazy thing about this I still have both these movies on VHS all them again on Blu-ray

Loved it Thank you for this amazing video!

More than 30 years later I can put the dvd in right now and enjoy it just like in 1990 😊

One of the all time great cinematic experiences

Thank you for this! I have never seen any facts about TMNT and they are my lifelong favorite. I always believed that the turtles were real because there is no way that someone could move in those things!

Remember being traumatised at the scene where Raphael gets beaten by the foot soldiers, I believe it made me cry as a child.

So cool! The voice actors got their own cameo for their contribution to the film. I was wandering why the camera was pointed on the guy who asked "what was that" in the taxi cab when Raphael jumped over the hood.

Best movie growing up, i had everything. The velcro shoes the lubchbox..all types of clothing you name it i had it. I turned yo acting getting small roles n my big brrak was doing a Hallmark fklm where Steve Barron was the director..my life is grand, got to meet him and everything is was amazing!

Talks about the voice actors and the body suit performers, but no mention of the puppeteers controlling the animatronics in the heads... 😔 There were three suit performers per turtle; one in the body and two per head (one on mouth and one one eyes). Also, I’m friends with Michelan ‘Micha’ Sisti (suit performer for Mikey). He’s directed me on a few puppeteering gigs. Really awesome fit with a lot of great stories. He also did the suit work for Charlene on Dinosaurs.

Wow, Seen this movie 100 times as a kid, never noticed any of these things. Great video ^_^

The tone of the first movie was great. Would love more movies like that. Could still do the plots of the other movies, y’know; but with that darker tone. Would be awesome. Like “PG: Psycho Goreman” (2021), but a bit less gore.

I remember when this film originally came out. I was 7 years old and SO excited. I absolutely LOVED this film. As a kid, Raphael had been my favorite. I remember watching the film with my (then 4 year old little brother) and the both of us being perplexed as to why the wise-cracking, fun loving Raphael from the cartoon was suddenly this angry, tough acting, New York taxi driver sounding guy. But it sure didn't take long before we actually began PREFERRING this version of him. (And good thing, too because this seems to be the version of the character that they've used as a model personality-wise for every other Turtle live action and animated series ever since) One thing I absolutely HATED about this film, (and still dislike to this day) is the choice in actress for April. I remember feeling SO disappointed when she was introduced on screen for the first time. I whined to my father, asking WHY did one of my FAVORITE characters have to be RUINED?. (At the time, the 1980's cartoon was my only point of reference for this series. I didn't find out about the original comics until I was a little older). I have NOTHING against the actress and I hope no one thinks I'm trying to attack her because I PROMISE this is not the case!) I just didn't think she looked OR acted like the April from the cartoon. And maybe that was on purpose, but 7 year old me didn't understand that. I didn't care about her not being in the yellow jumpsuit. (Actually I got tired of her wearing it and used to wish she'd change clothes in the cartoon) 'Kid' me felt like this movie April was just _too_ mean; I disliked her personality and thought she was bossy and rude for no reason. She wasn't the bubbly, likeable girl from the cartoon. And kid me thought she looked a little old to be April. (I STILL think this now, some 30 years later) I mean, adult me 'gets' that they were going for the assertive, tough as nails reporter after her 'next scoop'. But kid me was was heartbroken she was such a different character. Whereas Raphael's new movie personality worked for me, April's movie identity just... disappointed me. _"Well, at least she's got red hair,"_ was what my daddy pointed out when 'kid' me complained about not liking 'this lady'.

Seen 1000 times. Never noticed it. #VHS WAS the good ol'Days.😄

I was 7 years old when this movie came out in 1990 and I was all about it. I was nuts over this movie. I have to say though, these mistakes just give this movie a sense of charm. I wouldn't have it any other way. Maybe I just have too much nostalgia for this movie and I don't want anything to be changed about it.

GREAT VII TUBULAR BEHIND THE SCENES FACTS ABOUT TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1990 ) FILM !!!

Favorite parts 0:10 1:34 (cameos) 3:44 3:52 3:59 4:09(mistakes)

Classic ! Best turtles movie

Lol and the part when they are waiting for the pizza in the beginning.. he totally misses his mouth with the popsicle stick lol

I loved this lol. Thank you ☺️

Watching the movie in early 1991 at a small German suburban cinema was the best theatre experience I've ever had! The atmosphere, dark & gritty, very cool, the fantastic soundtrack etc, awesome movie! The German version has silly sound effects to make the movie more like the 80s Ninja Turtles TV series, which is called Hero Turtles in Germany btw! :)

Brings me back! 😊

I feel for the stuntmen when I was in Iraq in 03 I wore a full combat load. I.e Kevlar, body armor, 2 saw ammo drums, the 240 saw itself , m40 gas mask. Ruck sack. Hats off to the stuntmen.

this is really interesting!

Absolutely Best Ninja Turtles Movie Were these classics still to this Very Day!

Thanks for showing me this.

Awesome video! Will always love the turtles.

I've been waiting. Love the content!

Love the Turtles! Just watched all three movies. Childhood 💚

That, my friend, was a totally tubular video. Fantastic job Rustin. And for once, you got me. I can honestly say that I did not know a single one of those facts. I was hoping for a shout out to Corey Feldman for his voice work, but oh well. Take care sir.

I knew about the turtle actors having additional cameos, but in the dozens of times I've seen this movie, I've never noticed a single one of those goofs lol.

Love it! Nice to hear this movie get some attention. Never saw that mouth open scene like that before now! Wow 😯

I wasn’t born when this movie came out but I watched it later. It’s so good and the costumes are so good for that time! I watched Star Wars, princess and the bride, and etc. Movies with no cgi. Now we have the crappy cgi ninja turtle models. Like the movements and feel of the movie look so real without cgi and lifelike. Idc about the bloopers, this movie is still the best TMNT movie. No wonder it was Jim he sons hardest project. And btw fly high Jim ❤🕊️

The REEEEAL...NINJA TURTLES. RIP. the golden era. ✊🏆🙌😞

I'm amazed how true this film is to the comics. Something the Michael Bay versions didn't even attempt.

Another fun fact ; Ernie Reyes Jr. played Keno in TMNT II The Secret of the Ooze

Awesome This movie put a little light in my heart that nostalgic feeling

Loved that it was darker. It was a perfect mix of all emotions.

i cant believe i never noticed that guy crouching down before lol

These are such fun facts! Especially the mistakes! You have an amazing eye!

Loved this when I was a child 🥰

Thanks for this dude

Look at that!! That’s what nightmares are made of!! 🤣😂😂

Great video! I would love to see more Henson please!

Another great video!! 👍

Wild i never noticed those mistakes lol

OMG now I have to watch it again

Wise man once said forgiveness is divine but never pay full price for late pizza

I remember loved eating the green hostess turtle cream pies. I miss those things.

Im ready for a reboot. Something darker for the people that actually grew up watching it.

Honestly. An R18+ TMNT movie would be one of the most succesful movies of the last 10 years. For ticket sales at least. In fact, if they ever do make that happen I promise I will go see it 3 times in cinemas.

This is awesome! Can you please do Secret of the Ooze and TMNT III?

Still the best turtles movies to date 100% agree with anybody that says that I like the darker tones and some of the humor in this movie is very well balanced for some of the editing choices to make it super not too dark of a movie still one of my favorite childhood movies when I saw it in 1999 on rerun on one of those cartoon channels a long time ago been hooked ever since

I saw this IN THE THEATER. And. I bought the VHS for 19.99 at Walmart when it came out. Despite the ‘mistakes’, nothing compares to this movie. Nothing.

That was doing dope info. Ernie Raez Jr was a turtle too and was in the 2. Wow.

its 2021 and this movie still beats the new ones XD

Thank you ruined my childhood I’m 26 I was thinking ninja turtle are real

I remember as a kid, whenever I rode the subway (not NY), I pretended I was in that movie. Funnily enough, I always pretended to be the troubled boy on my way to a foot soldier meeting, rather than as a turtle.

2:27 To add to what you mentioned about Raph’s actor and the suit, the reason why these suits do not exist anymore (unlike the other Henson features which do have existing costumes dating back to the very first Kermit in 1955) is because the actor literally tore off the head to shreds which cost the studio money to remake every time he was on set. There’s only 1 costume which was discovered and restored - Donatello
