Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 and 2 - The First (and best) TMNT Films - Rental Reviews

Published 2019-08-02
On this episode of Rental Reviews, the guys at Cinemassacre video review the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, which closely follows the storyline from the Mirage comic books, in addition to some of the more lighthearted elements of the cartoons. The film tells the origin story of Splinter and the Turtles, their initial encounters with April O'Neil (Judith Hoag) and Casey Jones (Elias Koteas), and their first confrontation with The Shredder and his Foot Clan. The first sequel, titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, expands on the Turtles' origin story while claiming the distinction as Vanilla Ice's film debut.

“It’s quiet” “Yeah, a little too quiet” “That was easy” “Yeah a little too easy” “Look, it’s Raph!” “Yeah, a little too Raph” 😂😂

Turtles 1 is criminally underrated, not just as pop culture, but as a legit film. It's got character arcs, coherent themes, good fight choreography, good acting, practical effects, and authentic feeling 80s NY atmosphere.
-
"Anger clouds the mind, turned inward it is an unconquerable enemy." Splinter. This movie means so much to me
-
It's not just nostalgia. I went back and checked again. Ninja Turtles 1, Robocop 1 and Karate Kid 1 are legit masterpieces. (KK 2 is also a good sequel)
-
Showed the 91 TMNT to my 15 year old daughter and she was so amazed by Jim Hanson's creations they looked so good without CGI
-
When 1990 tmnt came out it was the highest grossing independent film at the time because no major studio wanted to touch it.
-
“Ninja kick the damn rabbit” Michaelangelo 1990
-
I just realized tmnt 1-3 has the same quality progression as robocop 1-3
-
God bless Jim Henson. Seriously, he is like 80% of the reason why this movie turned out so amazing.
-
TMNT 1 & 2 were the VHS tapes I watched most. I still know every line by memory.
-
Judith Hoag and Elias Koteas were both impeccable as April and Casey. Amazing casting for the two 'human' characters
-
That review summary on Rotten Tomatoes is written by people who want to explain their love for modern superhero movies by trashing the trailblazing ones of the past. You guys had it right: original TMNT is excellent, holds up, and is very fun still.

Cricket nobody understands cricket. You have to know what a crumpet is to understand cricket.
-
The scene at the end with Shredder on the roof is my favorite. "You lie!!"
-
"A little TOO Raph." One of the greatest lines of all time.
-
I love the scene in April's apartment when Leo and Raph are fighting and Mikey and Donny are just sitting in the kitchen "...….Pork rind?......PORK RIND " nom nom
-
You also forgot Mikey saying "Ninja kick the damn rabbit" when him and Donnie are watching tv lol
-
I absoutly love that James knows so much about the obscure Ninja Turtle stuff. The one guy is really trying to remember a live show he saw at 6- Flags and James pulls out the "Getting down in your town tour" VHS like its completely normal.... Love you guys keep up the awesome work!!

I'm 33 now. Saw TMNT again one day when I had the flu not too long ago. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good the movie is and holds up. Not for a "kids movie" but just as a movie. From the effects to the atmosphere to the acting and soundtrack. Very underrated movie.
