This one was made sillier all due to parents outcry that the first movie was to violent for kids. Massive parent protest to the studio caused the producers to tone everything down. Which hurt this one. And is also the reason why the turtles barley use there weapons.

He even reached up to get out, but the bump tore both quads so he just couldn't stand back up and decided to just stay down instead. Like Vinnie Mac at the Royal Rumble.
A fun fact about Tokka and Rahzar is that they were originally supposed to be Bebop and Rocksteady but apparently there were some copyright issues and they had to create original characters for the movie
If I were to work as a DJ in a club somewhere and a fight were to break out (especially if either one of them started using martial arts), I'd probably start playing that song
Speaking of good 90s movies like this I highly recommend Surf Ninjas. Ernie Reyes Jr who plays Keno is this TMNT movie stars in Surf Ninjas. Also his dad Ernie Reyes Sr stars in this movie along with Rob Schneider, Kelly Hu, Leslie Nielsen, and Tone Loc. There's also the movies 3 Ninjas. Well the first 3 movies are good but the 4th is eh.

Originally, both Krang and the Technodrome, were supposed to be In the first film. But they simplified it for convenience and realism. So dhe didn't come back for 2 or 3. It's okay though.

If you ever watched the old 90's cartoon, or played the games, you know. They were starting to put their foot in the door for dimensional travel & alternate worlds. I always say, "3 wasn't that good. But 4? 4 WOULD'VE FUCKING ROCKED !!!" I hope you do go and watch 3 on your own time. It's still cool. It was just the akward phase before what would've come next. That's all.
Judith Hoag who played April in the first movie wasn't a big fan of a few things that happened in filming, mostly stunt men getting hurt on the set. I never knew that either until recently.
Yeah, I didn't find that out til a few months ago. I always assumed the sequel being rushed into production(it came out less than a year after the first one) caused scheduling conflicts. Paige Turco is a cutie, but Hoag was the superior(and hotter) April.
I was like 11 years old when this came out, and let me tell you, Ninja Rap was EVERYTHING back then, it was a total win for that age group. It was the right song, in the right movie, at the right time period, it worked.
Funner fact: literally the exact same tube of ooze that created the ninja turtles and Splinter, also created Daredevil. In the comic, Splinter tells their origin story as, “an old blind man was about to be hit by a truck, but was pushed away at the last second by a young boy. The boy was struck in the face by a canister. The canister hit the ground and shattered spilling its contents. In the ooze that had been contained in the canister, he spotted the four turtles. He scooped them out of the ooze and into an empty coffee can and took them into the sewer to hide. After some time he noticed that they began to speak and grow.” I have a theory that the reason Splinter and the turtles were so human-like, and Tokka and Razar were not, is Matt Murdock’s human dna (blood from hitting him in the face), was mixed into the ooze. By the way… did I mention that that little boy was named… Matt Murdock?!
The actress who played April in the original was not brought back because she was horrible to work with. She was constantly complaining about the working conditions. Elias Koteas (KC Jones) was supposedly doing another movie at the time but returned in the 3rd movie in two roles. I don't remember much about the 3rd movie but I don't remember it being silly. Ernie Reyes Jr (Keno) is a martial artist, learned from his dad and has been in many tv shows and movies. I remember him as a tiny little kid in the movie The Last Dragon. Corey Feldman did not return as the voice of Donetello in this movie but did return in part 3. Bebop and Rocksteady were not allowed to be used due to some copyright issues. No weapons used cuz parents complained that the first movie was too violent so they toned it down, way down. In the original script, the Professor was going to be revealed as being from the same alien species as Krang but disguised as a human. It would have been revealed at the end that he walked away with the last vile of the ooze. Part 3 has the turtle traveling back in time. But they trade places with Samurai. So while the turtles are in the past, Japan's past, the Samurai are shown in the present time. April also get stuck in the past. The movie as also supposed to start up a multiverse storyline that would cross over between part 3, a cartoon and comic book and eventually end up, probably in cartoon or movie format with various turtles from different realities teaming up. Within part 3 there is a mural shown that shows a small part of this story line. While the cartoon and the comic were made, the final outcome never came to be.
The 1st movie is a classic and will always hold up. I'm not surprised that watching the 2nd movie for the first time as adults wasn't as enjoyable as it was for those of us who first watched it as kids. It is riddled with flaws but part of its charm is that it still somehow manages to be entertaining. The same can't be said of the 3rd movie. To answer some of the key questions about this movie: 1. April was recast because the original actress apparently complained too much about the shooting conditions on the first film. 2. Corey Feldman wasn't brought back as Donatello because he had drug addiction issues at the time. 3. Rocksteady and Bebop weren't featured because the producers wanted to have some new characters to sell toys of. 4. The violence was toned down because some adults complained the first film had too much violence. 5. Casey Jones wasn't brought back because it was felt the movie already had too many characters to service.
Maybe you can check out the movie Surf Ninjas. It has both Ernie Reyes Senior and Junior. It's not really a great movie but it is fun and has a special place in my childhood.
Original April actress thought the first movie was too violent so she didn't want to return. There was a lot of crap in the media saying the original movie was "too violent" so they toned it down for this movie, and even further in the third movie which is an abomination! Despite the budgets being bigger than the original movie, the turtles look increasingly worse with each movie. (and yes, everyone was expecting Bebop and Rocksteady, but they wanted new characters so they could make more toys 🙄) Bit of trivia for you: Kevin Nash/Diesel (WCW/WWF wrestler) played "Super Shredder" in this movie.
The rush of excitement in a theater full of kids my age and older when the title card came up has not been rivaled since ‘91. It was like a concert in there.
Fuck yes. I'm so happy you guys did this one. Most reactors just do the first one. I'll admit it's a better film, but as a kid I thoroughly enjoyed this movie more. Can't wait to see y'all's reaction.
Given that Super Shredder was played by the wrestler Kevin Nash, all they really needed to do to defeat him was run away and wait until his quads ripped again. 😄
The kid in the beginning is Ernie Reyes Jr. Back in the early 80s he started a range of Taekowndo studios. But I remember when he was with West Coast Taekwondo when I took it as a kid. It was fun to watch him get movie roles and such. He really was incredibly athletic - though I wouldn't ever say he was a good actor :) The first movie was fun - this felt like more of a cash grab. Especially the Vanilla Ice cameo... god that was horrible all around.
It was a Cash grab, seeing how the 1st movie worked so well. Thats why this one is goofier cause "its for the kids". But its not a bad movie overall, it still as some of the strenghts of the 1st one: combat and the costumes. Even tho if the 1st one had Grunge/Punk Teenager humour, this one is more like a 6th grade school recess kinda humour. The 3rd movie is just..., let us forget it ever existed...
Ah yes, the silliness, the over the top comedy, the awesomeness of Ernie Reyes, Jr. And of course, Vanilla Ice. Gah, this was crazy when it came out. My parents didn't think the first one was too violent for myself or my siblings. And we watched this also for Ernie Reyes, Jr, and I still had fun. It was the third one where it kinda lost us.
3:37 - Keno is played by Ernie Reyes Jr., son of Ernie Reyes Sr. (natch), one of the best fight choreographers of the 80s and 90s. Jr. was one of the stunt fighters in the first film, then he got the role of Keno in this one. He went on to star in his own movie, Surf Ninjas, with his dad and a young Rob Schnider, and later appeared in The Rundown with The Rock. 5:06 - It's an easy thing to miss, but the hints are their that those are actually THEIR pizzas. 7:25 - In the movie it's TGRI, in the comics it's TCRI: Techno- _Cosmic_ -Research Industries. It was a front for extra-dimensional aliens trying to find their way home (the 'utroms' were the inspiration for Krang in other continuities). 7:53 - 'Oprah's On!' was actually an advertising campaign for the Oprah Winfrey show in the late 80s' early 90s.
Oh, noice~! This hits me right in the childhood, and I couldn't be happier. While there's those that take issue with it for its lighter tone when compared to the first movie, and the Turtles using their weapons less (no thanks to parents' groups), I'm glad I still found this movie to be enjoyable despite some of its flaws. Not seeing Casey Jones was also bummer, but Keno was a GREAT addition to the cast. Anywho, looking forward to the next one. Until then, ya'll take care and have a good one! P.S. Also, when you can, I still do HIGHLY recommend "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)", "Broken Arrow (1996)", "Assassins (1995)", and "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)" for ya'll to react to. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. 😉👍
Fun fact: WWE hall of famer Kevin Nash (Big daddy cool Diesel) played the mutant Shredder and he confessed on an interview he won more money in a single day playing the character than a year wrestling😮
The thing about the 3rd film is they changed puppets and actors for the Turtles. This film is SO DAMN quotable. Also gotta love David Warner playing Dr Perry
This was my fav TMNT Film as a Kid, loved Toka and Razor plus the Super-Shredder was Dope! Upon re-watches as an adult i probably like TMNT 1 the most now.
never follow everyone else. never make a decision because someone else tells you what to do. you should judge for yourself. i love the third one. and am stoked to see its just dropped.
The actor who plays Kino, Ernie Reyes Jr, was the stuntman for Donatello in the first and second movie! He was also the lead on another 90s action comedy classic, Surf Ninjas…..a movie you guys need to check out!
@7:37 For those who didn't know... That is Dillinger/Sark from Tron; the late David Warner, also Morpheus, from Fallout, and jon Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2.
Actor playing Keno led a film called Surf Ninjas, in '93. Could be worth a watch if y'all haven't seen it. And I may be in the minority, but I still appreciate the third Turtles film even though it's not as good as the first two.
The guy playing Keno was a child actor known for his martial arts ability. He was in one of the Conan movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger and the classic movie The Last Dragon, which I suggest you guys check out.
Vanilla Ice made a banger track for this movie. Ninja Rap is such a banger, that the professor started dancing in the crowd. And I love the fight against The Foot after the Turtles unmutated Tokka and Rahzar, and that does include the 4-on-1 shell assault on Tatsu.
Another bonafide cinematic classic (and by that I mean the tape damn near had permanent residency in my VCR growing up so the nostalgia is especially strong with this one)! It could have been better without parents disrespecting their kids thinking they are too stupid to be able to separate film from real life but parents are going to parents; even back in the day they always found something to panic or be outraged about🙄. More things change more they stay the same and all that. That said, I still quite enjoy it. Eh hmm. Anywho... 🙏Please get to reacting to Dirty Work in honor of the criminally underrated, late, great Norm MacDonald sometime this month please and thank you!🙏
Parents in the studios said that the movie was too violent, so they went very light for the second ones and they didn’t like Casey Jones even though everybody loved him
They wanted to tone down the violence which is why the weapons were not used as much by the turtles and the third they go back in time to early Japan kid you not
You two are one of the best channels on RUclips! If there's 3 movies I can't recommend enough for you guys to react to, its "rampage" (2009) , "rampage: capital punishment", and "rampage: president down". 3 of the darkest and most violent movies I've ever seen, but also 3 of the most entertaining movies in my opinion. All three of them are on RUclips for free. Just type in the titles and they'll pop up. I think you guys would really like them.
I know you guys aren’t watching the third one but Casey Jones does return in that one. My only problem with the third one is that the costumes don’t look as good
@@vnthony2439 hell naw that movie is horrible the story is all over the place,voice acting is bad, Casey jones babysitting these grown men. Yes that movie is ridiculous bro.
among other BS, even less fighting even though they are in Feudal Japan ffs. . . shitty FX, anticlimactic finish, i could go on if i wanted to nitpick.
Kevin Nash said in and interview that he made more money playing super shredder for a day, than performing on the road w/WWF back in his glory days. Sadly the studio recast Corey Feldman due to substance abuse issues. I believe the original April chose not to reprise her role, why I'm not sure. Casey Jones was brought back in #3 but by then it was to late. The lack of weapon use by the turtles were due to ALL the outraged mother's after the first one (personally I think they just needed a good DD and they'd have been fine with it, oh well what's done is done).
Part of the reason for the re-casting was because TMNT2 was fast tracked, into production because of the success of the first film combine, so not everyone was available. In fact if I remember right, production for TMNT2 was a lot shorter than that for the first film
The 3rd one isn't as bad as people think. It has the best intro of any of the three movies, Fighting sequences are solid. And it's a fresh look and a different location outside New york. There are things about the 3rd movie that you can't excuse, but I feel the majority of people don't like it, mainly cause it's not what they expected. But it''s not any better or worse than the first 2 movies. There are good things about it. If anything, this one is worse than the 3rd. Yeah I said, come at me bro!
Also, Casey is back in the third, as well as Corey Feldman voicing Donatello.Third one was my fav as a kid, but mostly for the Casey and Samurai scenes. :'D
3rd one definitely isn’t that bad. My biggest issue is the suits looked awful compared to the first two movies. But there was no Jim Henson involvement so that’s why.
I love them both but as someone said in the comments parents thought the first one was too violent. Nowadays they wouldn't give a f**k. Thanks for this. I saw them both in theaters back then on slumber party nights. Those were the days. Also now i am definitely ordering a pizza. 😅
It was tone down because of parents complaining about the violence, and also the actress who originally played April in the original didn't like the violence, which is why she didn't come back for the second one. Which is honestly a real let how great the original was.
yeah the person who played keno ernie reyes jr also played the young martial arts kid in the last dragon, also the reason why tmnt 2 secret of the ooze was so ott on the comedy was due to erm us brits which is a shame as they was moaning about the nun-chucks being used and how the first tmnt was dark.... :/
Fun Fact: The same guy that plays Freddy is the guy who asks Keno if he's Night security. I wish you'd do the 3rd one. It's really good, don't let a few downers make you miss it. One other thing, the guy who does the voice for Donatello played Shredder in the Cartoon.
Go Ninja. Go. Go Ninja. Go. Ninja. Ninja....rap. The 3rd one is fun. It's not as good as the first 2 but it's still worth watching. You can't just watch 2 parts of a trilogy.
The 3rd film isn't all that bad. It may not have the same type of suits like the first 2, but it does have that blend of swashbuckling action and comedy. And lastly, the turtles get to use their weapons too.
The reason tokka is vicious when shredder mentions the vicious animals they could find is because he’s not a common snapping turtle but he’s a alligator snapping turtle so that maybe why he has spikes on his shell
The sequel was fasttracked and was releasef less than a year after the 1st one. Alot of the actors were making other films. The first April actress asked for double what she made on the first.
GO NINJA GO NINJA GO This one is my favorite Michelangelo too funny & Ernie Reyes jr. was really good in this y'all should check out Surf Ninjas that's another movie he starred in.
It was originally supposed to be Bebop & Rocksteady as the villains alongside Shredder and the foot clan. Why they changed it to a wolf and snapping turtle is beyond me. We had to wait till the 2016 film "TMNT: Out Of The Shadows" to finally see Bebop & Rocksteady up on the big screen..
I've heard that they didn't use Bebop & Rocksteady because one of the original creators (I can't remember if it was Eastman or Laird) didn't like them and wanted to do their own versions. I've also heard it said that he didn't like B&R because they were created for the cartoon, thus he didn't have rights over them.😁
TMNT was HUGE with kids. Like 1999 pokemon huge if not maybe even more so. Everywhere you went you saw something from TMNT. They even had TMNT fishing poles-im not joking. Pies, ice cream bars, cereal, trading cards, games, clothes-you name it they had it. Ads every commercial break. Toy shelves full of TMNT from start to the end of the aisle. Their throne would be stolen by power rangers in 1993. (A 1995 comic showed the turtles whooping ass on some very ranger looking guys as a joke) and pokemon and beanie babies filled the rest of the decade when rangers began to lose their heat around 1997.
This was the coolest but funniest movie ever, glad I saw this back in the 1990s, I was born In 1991. That’s the second film, and now can’t wait to see TMNT 3.
I think you guys should watch the third one. At least you can make your own minds up where you liked it or not. It's been a while since I watched it but I don't remember hating it. Nothing beats the first one really but you got to make your own mind up. I do get that Go Ninja Go was super 90s but back in the day it was completely lit. Actually, still enjoy that quite a bit now. My childhood was the 90s and much of it involved the turtles.
Fun fact. Keno was the actor underneath the Raphael costume in the first movie.
Surf Ninjas
@@jjc5871Donatello actually.
@@twistoffatemasterSpeaking of, pretty sure Corey Feldman voiced Donatello in the first one.

So you’re saying that the Super Shredder is…. Diesel powered?…….ok I go now
I’m surprised it wasn’t his quads what took super shredder down 😂

@@OnePunchSnorlaxSee, you had it right. It wasn't the dock that killed him; that would be a silly and anticlimactic way for Super Shredder to go out.

A fun fact about Tokka and Rahzar is that they were originally supposed to be Bebop and Rocksteady but apparently there were some copyright issues and they had to create original characters for the movie
Actually it's because Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman didn't want Bebop and Rocksteady in the movie, they weren't big fans of the duo at the time.
Speaking as a 3rd grader in 1991 you cannot imagine how popular the Ninja Rap was amongst the younglings.
If I were to work as a DJ in a club somewhere and a fight were to break out (especially if either one of them started using martial arts), I'd probably start playing that song

Funner fact: literally the exact same tube of ooze that created the ninja turtles and Splinter, also created Daredevil.
In the comic, Splinter tells their origin story as, “an old blind man was about to be hit by a truck, but was pushed away at the last second by a young boy. The boy was struck in the face by a canister. The canister hit the ground and shattered spilling its contents. In the ooze that had been contained in the canister, he spotted the four turtles. He scooped them out of the ooze and into an empty coffee can and took them into the sewer to hide. After some time he noticed that they began to speak and grow.”
I have a theory that the reason Splinter and the turtles were so human-like, and Tokka and Razar were not, is Matt Murdock’s human dna (blood from hitting him in the face), was mixed into the ooze.
By the way… did I mention that that little boy was named… Matt Murdock?!
Ernie Reyes jr was the kid helping Johnny from The Last Dragon.
The actress who played April in the original was not brought back because she was horrible to work with. She was constantly complaining about the working conditions. Elias Koteas (KC Jones) was supposedly doing another movie at the time but returned in the 3rd movie in two roles. I don't remember much about the 3rd movie but I don't remember it being silly. Ernie Reyes Jr (Keno) is a martial artist, learned from his dad and has been in many tv shows and movies. I remember him as a tiny little kid in the movie The Last Dragon. Corey Feldman did not return as the voice of Donetello in this movie but did return in part 3. Bebop and Rocksteady were not allowed to be used due to some copyright issues. No weapons used cuz parents complained that the first movie was too violent so they toned it down, way down. In the original script, the Professor was going to be revealed as being from the same alien species as Krang but disguised as a human. It would have been revealed at the end that he walked away with the last vile of the ooze. Part 3 has the turtle traveling back in time. But they trade places with Samurai. So while the turtles are in the past, Japan's past, the Samurai are shown in the present time. April also get stuck in the past. The movie as also supposed to start up a multiverse storyline that would cross over between part 3, a cartoon and comic book and eventually end up, probably in cartoon or movie format with various turtles from different realities teaming up. Within part 3 there is a mural shown that shows a small part of this story line. While the cartoon and the comic were made, the final outcome never came to be.
The 1st movie is a classic and will always hold up. I'm not surprised that watching the 2nd movie for the first time as adults wasn't as enjoyable as it was for those of us who first watched it as kids. It is riddled with flaws but part of its charm is that it still somehow manages to be entertaining. The same can't be said of the 3rd movie. To answer some of the key questions about this movie:
1. April was recast because the original actress apparently complained too much about the shooting conditions on the first film.
2. Corey Feldman wasn't brought back as Donatello because he had drug addiction issues at the time.
3. Rocksteady and Bebop weren't featured because the producers wanted to have some new characters to sell toys of.
4. The violence was toned down because some adults complained the first film had too much violence.
5. Casey Jones wasn't brought back because it was felt the movie already had too many characters to service.
Fun fact: The actor playing the Super Shredder in the last battle of the movie is Professional Wrestler Kevin Nash.
Maybe you can check out the movie Surf Ninjas. It has both Ernie Reyes Senior and Junior. It's not really a great movie but it is fun and has a special place in my childhood.
Original April actress thought the first movie was too violent so she didn't want to return. There was a lot of crap in the media saying the original movie was "too violent" so they toned it down for this movie, and even further in the third movie which is an abomination! Despite the budgets being bigger than the original movie, the turtles look increasingly worse with each movie. (and yes, everyone was expecting Bebop and Rocksteady, but they wanted new characters so they could make more toys 🙄)
Bit of trivia for you: Kevin Nash/Diesel (WCW/WWF wrestler) played "Super Shredder" in this movie.
The rush of excitement in a theater full of kids my age and older when the title card came up has not been rivaled since ‘91. It was like a concert in there.
Fuck yes. I'm so happy you guys did this one. Most reactors just do the first one. I'll admit it's a better film, but as a kid I thoroughly enjoyed this movie more. Can't wait to see y'all's reaction.
I did all three in one go 😂 I know the first one is better, but like you I just love the second one!
Given that Super Shredder was played by the wrestler Kevin Nash, all they really needed to do to defeat him was run away and wait until his quads ripped again. 😄
The kid in the beginning is Ernie Reyes Jr. Back in the early 80s he started a range of Taekowndo studios. But I remember when he was with West Coast Taekwondo when I took it as a kid. It was fun to watch him get movie roles and such. He really was incredibly athletic - though I wouldn't ever say he was a good actor :)
The first movie was fun - this felt like more of a cash grab. Especially the Vanilla Ice cameo... god that was horrible all around.
It was a Cash grab, seeing how the 1st movie worked so well.
Thats why this one is goofier cause "its for the kids".
But its not a bad movie overall, it still as some of the strenghts of the 1st one: combat and the costumes.
Even tho if the 1st one had Grunge/Punk Teenager humour, this one is more like a 6th grade school recess kinda humour.
The 3rd movie is just..., let us forget it ever existed...
He also starred in Surf Ninjas with his father.
Keno was also in the run down and battled the rock in that movie.. he’s a badass dude
Honestly the sequel it's basically like the cartoon but just live action
Thank y’all for doing this one. I think I wore out this vhs tape as a kid. DO NOT do part 3, lol
Definitely much sillier through adult eyes lol
I actually think they would enjoy 3
@@JoeandOlly you might be right. I haven’t seen in nearly 30 years. Might not be as bad as I remember. 🤷♂️
Super Shredder was played by now retired wrestler Kevin Nash (the reason for his bulked up look)
Ah yes, the silliness, the over the top comedy, the awesomeness of Ernie Reyes, Jr. And of course, Vanilla Ice. Gah, this was crazy when it came out. My parents didn't think the first one was too violent for myself or my siblings. And we watched this also for Ernie Reyes, Jr, and I still had fun.
It was the third one where it kinda lost us.
For some reason i always cracked up when they are all struggling in the net at the junkyard and leo yells "GET YOUR ARM OUTTA MY FACE"
3:37 - Keno is played by Ernie Reyes Jr., son of Ernie Reyes Sr. (natch), one of the best fight choreographers of the 80s and 90s. Jr. was one of the stunt fighters in the first film, then he got the role of Keno in this one. He went on to star in his own movie, Surf Ninjas, with his dad and a young Rob Schnider, and later appeared in The Rundown with The Rock.
5:06 - It's an easy thing to miss, but the hints are their that those are actually THEIR pizzas.
7:25 - In the movie it's TGRI, in the comics it's TCRI: Techno- _Cosmic_ -Research Industries. It was a front for extra-dimensional aliens trying to find their way home (the 'utroms' were the inspiration for Krang in other continuities).
7:53 - 'Oprah's On!' was actually an advertising campaign for the Oprah Winfrey show in the late 80s' early 90s.
Oh, noice~! This hits me right in the childhood, and I couldn't be happier. While there's those that take issue with it for its lighter tone when compared to the first movie, and the Turtles using their weapons less (no thanks to parents' groups), I'm glad I still found this movie to be enjoyable despite some of its flaws. Not seeing Casey Jones was also bummer, but Keno was a GREAT addition to the cast. Anywho, looking forward to the next one. Until then, ya'll take care and have a good one!
P.S.
Also, when you can, I still do HIGHLY recommend "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)", "Broken Arrow (1996)", "Assassins (1995)", and "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)" for ya'll to react to. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. 😉👍
Kevin Nash as Super Shredder!! Sooooo badass!!
Fun fact: WWE hall of famer Kevin Nash (Big daddy cool Diesel) played the mutant Shredder and he confessed on an interview he won more money in a single day playing the character than a year wrestling😮
The thing about the 3rd film is they changed puppets and actors for the Turtles. This film is SO DAMN quotable. Also gotta love David Warner playing Dr Perry
David Warner in a rare non-villanous role.
This was my fav TMNT Film as a Kid, loved Toka and Razor plus the Super-Shredder was Dope! Upon re-watches as an adult i probably like TMNT 1 the most now.
And it's funny trying to imagine Kevin "Diesel" Nash as the Super Shredder..!
I’m so glad you guys caught that “Coming………….to a decision” part, that always cracks me up 😂😂😂
never follow everyone else. never make a decision because someone else tells you what to do. you should judge for yourself. i love the third one. and am stoked to see its just dropped.
The actor who plays Kino, Ernie Reyes Jr, was the stuntman for Donatello in the first and second movie! He was also the lead on another 90s action comedy classic, Surf Ninjas…..a movie you guys need to check out!
Red Sonja with Arnold. The last dragon with Bruce Leroy. The rundown with the Duane Johnson. Keno was in all of them.
@7:37
For those who didn't know... That is Dillinger/Sark from Tron; the late David Warner, also Morpheus, from Fallout, and jon Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2.
Y’all should watch Surf Ninjas & 3 Ninjas. Has the same humor
My childhood movie😂💖
Vanilla Ice being in this move was a huge deal for us kids in 1991 lol
Keno is a martial arts legend with a phenomenal family legacy. father and son were incredible in Surf Ninjas. i totally recommend
Fun Fact 23:42 Shredder is Kevin Nash the wrestler
Nice reaction! Love the turtles🙌🏾. Y’all really gotta watch Surf Ninjas. Classic. Ernie Reyes Jr., his father, Rob Sneider, and Leslie Nielson.
I remember the day my dad got me this movie on dvd loved this movie ever since
Actor playing Keno led a film called Surf Ninjas, in '93. Could be worth a watch if y'all haven't seen it. And I may be in the minority, but I still appreciate the third Turtles film even though it's not as good as the first two.
Surf Ninjas: Good
Ninja Turtles 3: Dogshit
The guy playing Keno was a child actor known for his martial arts ability. He was in one of the Conan movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger and the classic movie The Last Dragon, which I suggest you guys check out.
NINJA, NINJA.....RAP!!!!
Vanilla Ice made a banger track for this movie. Ninja Rap is such a banger, that the professor started dancing in the crowd. And I love the fight against The Foot after the Turtles unmutated Tokka and Rahzar, and that does include the 4-on-1 shell assault on Tatsu.
Everybody learned real quick to give Splinter his alone time up on that roof. You do not want to see a mutant rat's O face. 😂
Once Splinter goes up, no other shall follow.
This is CRAZY FACT:
THREE (3) Ppl Were Each Turtle....... 😮
1) Body Suit
2) Face Puppet Work
3) Turtles' Voice
A Lot of Practice Was involved!! 🐢
Way back in the Wonderful World of Disney days Keno was a little karate bad ass kid in Side Kick.
Keno is also the little boy in The Last Dragon.
Another bonafide cinematic classic (and by that I mean the tape damn near had permanent residency in my VCR growing up so the nostalgia is especially strong with this one)!
It could have been better without parents disrespecting their kids thinking they are too stupid to be able to separate film from real life but parents are going to parents; even back in the day they always found something to panic or be outraged about🙄. More things change more they stay the same and all that. That said, I still quite enjoy it.
Eh hmm. Anywho...
🙏Please get to reacting to Dirty Work in honor of the criminally underrated, late, great Norm MacDonald sometime this month please and thank you!🙏
Parents in the studios said that the movie was too violent, so they went very light for the second ones and they didn’t like Casey Jones even though everybody loved him
They wanted to tone down the violence which is why the weapons were not used as much by the turtles and the third they go back in time to early Japan kid you not
There were enough parental complaints about the first one that fir the sequel they sullied it up to make it more “kid friendly”.
You two are one of the best channels on RUclips! If there's 3 movies I can't recommend enough for you guys to react to, its "rampage" (2009) , "rampage: capital punishment", and "rampage: president down". 3 of the darkest and most violent movies I've ever seen, but also 3 of the most entertaining movies in my opinion. All three of them are on RUclips for free. Just type in the titles and they'll pop up. I think you guys would really like them.
Super Shredder was played by legendary wrestler Kevin Nash.
I know you guys aren’t watching the third one but Casey Jones does return in that one. My only problem with the third one is that the costumes don’t look as good
And Corey Feldman is back
Casey jones babysitting tho that movie was horrible.
People just don’t think it’s good cause of the costumes and it takes place in rural Japan otherwise the storyline is better than the 2nd one
@@vnthony2439 hell naw that movie is horrible the story is all over the place,voice acting is bad, Casey jones babysitting these grown men. Yes that movie is ridiculous bro.
among other BS, even less fighting even though they are in Feudal Japan ffs. . . shitty FX, anticlimactic finish, i could go on if i wanted to nitpick.
Kevin Nash said in and interview that he made more money playing super shredder for a day, than performing on the road w/WWF back in his glory days. Sadly the studio recast Corey Feldman due to substance abuse issues. I believe the original April chose not to reprise her role, why I'm not sure. Casey Jones was brought back in #3 but by then it was to late. The lack of weapon use by the turtles were due to ALL the outraged mother's after the first one (personally I think they just needed a good DD and they'd have been fine with it, oh well what's done is done).
Part of the reason for the re-casting was because TMNT2 was fast tracked, into production because of the success of the first film combine, so not everyone was available. In fact if I remember right, production for TMNT2 was a lot shorter than that for the first film
Fun fact: the actor who played keno was the guy who was inside the suit doing the fighting in the first movie as donatello
Kevin Nash is the super shredder back when he went by the name master blaster steel
The 3rd one isn't as bad as people think. It has the best intro of any of the three movies, Fighting sequences are solid. And it's a fresh look and a different location outside New york. There are things about the 3rd movie that you can't excuse, but I feel the majority of people don't like it, mainly cause it's not what they expected. But it''s not any better or worse than the first 2 movies. There are good things about it. If anything, this one is worse than the 3rd. Yeah I said, come at me bro!
I watched the 3rd one the most cause it was goofy and didn't take itself too seriously
It gets a bad rap because we all wanted 3 to be a Kang story and they gave us samurai
Also, Casey is back in the third, as well as Corey Feldman voicing Donatello.Third one was my fav as a kid, but mostly for the Casey and Samurai scenes. :'D
@@tbiytc3330 SPOILERS!
3rd one definitely isn’t that bad. My biggest issue is the suits looked awful compared to the first two movies. But there was no Jim Henson involvement so that’s why.
I love them both but as someone said in the comments parents thought the first one was too violent. Nowadays they wouldn't give a f**k. Thanks for this. I saw them both in theaters back then on slumber party nights. Those were the days. Also now i am definitely ordering a pizza. 😅
Ernie Reyes jr who plays keno is actually a pretty famous martial artist. His dad is too. They're legit. It's why it looks good when he fights
The actor who plays Keno was in a movie called Surf Ninjas from the 90s. You guys should totally react to that!!!
I saw this so long ago that the only thing I remember is the "Ninja Rap" part with Vanilla Ice. Not the song, but that it happened.
😂 same. I hate Vanilla Ice so much! No because he stolen Queen's music, but because he said he don't 🤣
It was tone down because of parents complaining about the violence, and also the actress who originally played April in the original didn't like the violence, which is why she didn't come back for the second one.
Which is honestly a real let how great the original was.
yeah the person who played keno ernie reyes jr also played the young martial arts kid in the last dragon, also the reason why tmnt 2 secret of the ooze was so ott on the comedy was due to erm us brits which is a shame as they was moaning about the nun-chucks being used and how the first tmnt was dark.... :/
Fun Fact: The same guy that plays Freddy is the guy who asks Keno if he's Night security.
I wish you'd do the 3rd one. It's really good, don't let a few downers make you miss it.
One other thing, the guy who does the voice for Donatello played Shredder in the Cartoon.
The old couple at the taxi was the director's parents.
Go Ninja. Go. Go Ninja. Go. Ninja. Ninja....rap.
The 3rd one is fun. It's not as good as the first 2 but it's still worth watching. You can't just watch 2 parts of a trilogy.
The 3rd film isn't all that bad. It may not have the same type of suits like the first 2, but it does have that blend of swashbuckling action and comedy. And lastly, the turtles get to use their weapons too.
The reason tokka is vicious when shredder mentions the vicious animals they could find is because he’s not a common snapping turtle but he’s a alligator snapping turtle so that maybe why he has spikes on his shell
Fun fact, Kevin Nash played Super Shredder
I'm surprised that Kevin Nash did not tear his quad in this movie. 😂
The sequel was fasttracked and was releasef less than a year after the 1st one. Alot of the actors were making other films. The first April actress asked for double what she made on the first.
Bro I just love how u 2 reacted to Vanilla Ice! I literately burst out laughing! 😂
Another fun fact the guy who they had in the suit playing super shredder was none other than WWE's Kevin Nash
GO NINJA GO NINJA GO
This one is my favorite Michelangelo too funny & Ernie Reyes jr. was really good in this y'all should check out Surf Ninjas that's another movie he starred in.
It was originally supposed to be Bebop & Rocksteady as the villains alongside Shredder and the foot clan. Why they changed it to a wolf and snapping turtle is beyond me. We had to wait till the 2016 film "TMNT: Out Of The Shadows" to finally see Bebop & Rocksteady up on the big screen..
I've heard that they didn't use Bebop & Rocksteady because one of the original creators (I can't remember if it was Eastman or Laird) didn't like them and wanted to do their own versions. I've also heard it said that he didn't like B&R because they were created for the cartoon, thus he didn't have rights over them.😁
TMNT was HUGE with kids. Like 1999 pokemon huge if not maybe even more so. Everywhere you went you saw something from TMNT. They even had TMNT fishing poles-im not joking. Pies, ice cream bars, cereal, trading cards, games, clothes-you name it they had it. Ads every commercial break. Toy shelves full of TMNT from start to the end of the aisle. Their throne would be stolen by power rangers in 1993. (A 1995 comic showed the turtles whooping ass on some very ranger looking guys as a joke) and pokemon and beanie babies filled the rest of the decade when rangers began to lose their heat around 1997.
Oh shit. Let's GO boys!
Ninja
Ninja
Rap
This was the coolest but funniest movie ever, glad I saw this back in the 1990s, I was born
In 1991. That’s the second film, and now can’t wait to see TMNT 3.
I think you guys should watch the third one. At least you can make your own minds up where you liked it or not. It's been a while since I watched it but I don't remember hating it. Nothing beats the first one really but you got to make your own mind up. I do get that Go Ninja Go was super 90s but back in the day it was completely lit. Actually, still enjoy that quite a bit now. My childhood was the 90s and much of it involved the turtles.
