FYI at 7:47 that’s actor….Young actor Christian Slater was the middle tall kid “real average family” reviews after watching the movie. But man how young he is. Funny how Hollywood is setup.
The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is a MASTERPIECE. We haven't seen the Ninja Turtles since. All of the best CGI and modern technology in the world right now still can't even come close to that level of greatness. It says so much about where we are at today and how far things have fallen.
@@JosephCox-yx4ds First was perfect origin story, second was an amazing follow up and i know people hate on the third but its so fucking bad its fantastic in my opinion and this series is hands down one my favorite series period
The second film was stupid. The first was dark and gritty, which is the tone you would expect from a double murderer who is preying on vulnerable teens to do his bidding. The second film lost hold of this and that’s why it was just silly…
I dunno about that, I mean just look at Gollum from Lord of the Rings from 2001. Sure its older but still think Gollum looked better than the CGI turtles. Like I really do think the latest CGI could of done a waaaaaaaaay better job.
The only way this movie can be better now is if there was a Anniversary release with all the behind-the-scenes details, original interviews, and reunion talk with the cast and crew.
I'm glad the director stuck to his guns about the film, he made some great choices that we all love, I never knew the film was shot in North Carolina which is where I'm from so thats a major plus for me!!! Great video
@@hometownhobbies103 I’m from Australia so I had no idea who Jose Canseco was until a couple of years ago, but Raph’s delivery clearly showed a lack of respect! Brilliant
There is a famous crumpet shop where I live (in the US). Whenever I walk by, I always joke to the tourists visiting it that they’re going to finally understand cricket.
The dark gritty but still fun and light hearted is the perfection for the tmnt. Not going to bright or too dark. This balance is what they need. Also the suits with cgi faces would be the best way to make a tmnt movie today. I remember that the movie Where the Wild Things Are was made like this and looks very impressive.
Also, that foot clan warehouse got me as a child, I wanted to go there. Looks super fun. Skateboard ramp, video games, basketball, rock music, and a whole bunch of other stuff - yeah, they were stolen goods and recruiting for a clan, but gotta give them credit for knowing how to entice kids 'rejected from the outside world.'
Yes very true. The warehouse scene is so well shot. It shows how abandon kids will most likely turn to crime. It showed how badass Shredder’s empire was. Shredder really knew how to manipulate young people to get them to join the Foot. This film is definitely one of the greatest comic book movies ever made.
TMNT 1990 is so good, I wish the sequels were as good as the first one with the dark tone. It would've been great to see Bebop & Rocksteady and other cool villains in the sequels.
@@barbarianorc8301 you can thank Karen’s for that they complained about how Dark and violent the first movie was so that why they made it lighthearted for the sequels.
Holy crap i never imagined how difficult the suits or just the entire production of TMNT was. Something that has been watched probably over a hundred times by me and my brothers , heck even my parents can never express how grateful to have this movie in our young lives. It's something amazing how even back then those campy movies of the 90s just feel still to this day unrivaled, I wish i could see more TMNT movies similar to the first two, three had it's issues but it just seems they were being run too hard and fast and so couldn't get much of anything right.
I like the way the opening ended up. The Turtles are slowly revealed. The fact that we just hear them first, then we see just Raph's mask and eyes, then we see them in silhouette, then the full suits are revealed in all their glory when Leo leaps into frame, and the others follow. As cool a visual as the giant turtle shells surfacing is, I think the reveal plays better without it. I'd love to see a director's cut, though, especially with the additional footage they shot at the farm location.
Yes dudes and dudettes, major league butt kicking is back in town! (Freeze frame, titles and huge guitar riff before they jump into frame for the big reveal)
You can definitely see how they eventually ended up with a more colorful film like the studio wanted in TMNT 3. But your spot on with the lighting for the first movie. It was dark in a way that as a kid, I was scared to watch, but desperatly wanted more of.
4:30 that's really dope that you actually talk to a writer of such an iconic film that is really dope that had to be one of the highlights of your life I would think it would be one of the highlights of mine
I was amazed to discover Steve Barron directed some of the greatest music videos in history, as well as the greatest Turtles on screen and to this day one of the best comic book movies
A movie like this can never be made again. Saw this in theaters when i was 6. I’m so grateful. I doubt any original creator would see but truly thank you so much for giving us the single turtle movie. No else could do it on this level and in this style again
Even as a 10 year old kid I immediately recognized and appreciated the dark gritty realistic look of this movie. It was nothing at all like I expected and everything that I wanted
After watching this movie, I would go outside and try to mimic all the flips and tricks the turtles did in the film. I could even remember how myself and a couple of friends thought that we could move out of our parents house and into the sewers. Incredible movie.
@@Cogic 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so did I. My friends and I would make weapons from tree branches, broomsticks, and whatever else we could find and train in the backyard like they did on April's farm in the 1990 movie. Lol
@@Cogic we all actually put shirts over our heads in a way that we looked more like a band of little ninjas rather than ninja turtles. Lol!!! Those were good times.
The Crow was also filmed at this same studio in Wilmington, my sister in law worked at the hospital they took Brandon Lee too. RIP. Another classic movie
Everything that was mentioned in this video in regards too the movie is spot on too why so many people adore this movie.One other thing is the musical score of the original movie that was so well done fit in with the dark tone of the way the movie was filmed gritty street crime kinda way.
I never knew they shot alot of shots in NC!! lived here my whole life and to hear that one of if not my fav movie of all time was shot right here in Wilmington Nc which is not to far from me at all. It's amazing how this movie STILL stand up to today!! Man I would LOVE for them to make another movie like the 1st one or even the 2nd one, I mean they would literally be printing money!!!
Yeah I knew that they filmed in Wilmington years ago back when I was a kid watching it on VHS (being such a huge turtle fan I looked at all the end credits lol) but it still blew my mind seeing as I'm from North Carolina 🙂
@@brookswilliams5239 dang that's pretty good, cause I never picked up on that as a kid, and when ya find out a movie like that has been made from where we live that's pretty awesome!!
Gotta agree with the dark and gritty of the movie. For me, it gave the feel of the raw and gritty look of Kevin and Peter’s original Mirage comics at the time, and it felt like how actual New York City looks and feels. They got it RIGHT.
This first film was amazing. It nailed the gritty dark feel of the comics. They even do a nod to Kevin and Peter! Sam Rockwell says "check out the east warehouse on Lairdman island".
This movie never gets old. I just watched it again as a 39 year old and loved every minute of it. I can't say the same for the other movies, newer ones included.
I'm no longer a fan of TMNT, but that beginning of the video where you say how special this movie is was 100% spot on. I didn't realize when I was kid, but this was the high water mark of the Turtles, in my opinion. There's been some other good stuff, but not enough to win me back over. I still get happy to see they're making new TMNT things, but it isn't being made for me anymore.
2:53 I heard the reason why April O'Neil was replaced is because she stood up for the stunt men that were in those suits cuz they didn't get paid good their hours were insane and they weren't treated like a normal actor was so that actress stood up for them and apparently people didn't like that in the industry I think they deserve most of the credit more than the voice worker
Thank you sir. Great channel. Great content. This is one of my all time favorite movies. I was a kid and I passed this one down to my son. I appreciate the information you share; behind the scenes footage and stories.
Totally agree. The answer is in front of everyone’s face. Dark and gritty, which is more like the comics, makes for a much more dramatic, fun, entertaining theme. Studios always try and screw up a director’s vision. We were blessed that he stood for his art, and didn’t back down. Thanks for the vid.
The movie blew me away. I think the suits and animatronics were so well done and very believable, specially with the lighting. I still have not brought myself to watch the Michael Bay movies.
Dude, I love your channel... so many great videos! This is one of my all time fave movies, TMNT 1990... I've seen it so many times that I almost have it all memorized, line for line. But until I watched this, I really had no idea how much work really went into bringing this thing to life. Incredible!
This was amazing. Also cool to hear the original TMNT was mostly filmed in my state NC. I don't know that many movies that film here, so its nice to know one of my childhood favorite films did. :)
It still holds up and has charm that movies nowadays don’t. My son loves this version. He watched the new one and wasn’t into it. There’s no emotion or connection in that new junk at all.
I don’t think we’ll ever see this kind of movie (turtles or anything) again. Absolutely no CGI it’s timeless, I feel very lucky to have been alive when this movie came out and appreciate its impact. Young enough to enjoy it and old enough to remember it’s impact.
I was 10 years old in 1990. I loved the film and how dark and honestly how edgy it was for a kids film. They didn’t dumb it down like they did in the later movies. I love it and the darkness of it. I still love it to this day. Still the best TMNT film ever made.
The best Ninja Turtles movie of all time. My absolute favorite and very nostalgia me I own several copies of it and really love it. I would love to see a new film with this incarnation of the turtles. This film really holds a place in my heart.
That's so crazy that the flying airplanes instruments disrupted the controls for the puppeteering of the turtles oh, that must have been hilarious to see in person when they would start making crazy faces LOL And as always great job on the video absolutely love your Channel
I've noticed that when a director/actor is getting flack about something they have done and the director/actor fight for that thing, it's usually the the defining thing that everyone loved about the movie.
As a kid, the original TMNT was so gritty, it made me appreciate more adult themed movies of that day. I didn't like kiddy movies after that. I wanted to watch serious movies with dramatic storylines. I honestly think TMNT helped me grow up a bit.
So cool! Born in late 87, I must have seen this movie dozens of times before I was 10. I watched it recently in my mid 30s and there was a strange newness with all the familiarities. It was like watching two movies, one I knew completely and one I had never seen, really cool to see it after so much time had passed since the last time I saw it I probably was 10.
I really liked the 1990 teenage mutant ninja turtles movie because it was pretty dark like the tmnt mirage comics but it also mix many elements from the tmnt 1987 cartoon but still great ninja turtles movie 🥷🥷🥷🐢🐢🐢🐢🍕🍕🍕
I just came here to say that this is honestly one of the best movies ever made and I'm not even exaggerating. It was a monumental task to make a LIVE ACTION Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie... with zero CGI... and they not only pulled it off.. it was genuinely a great movie. Great cast, script, action, acting... Splinter was better acted than most live action people are!

@@JosephCox-yx4ds you should go check out when the Ninja Turtles were on Oprah bro
@@JosephCox-yx4ds First was perfect origin story, second was an amazing follow up and i know people hate on the third but its so fucking bad its fantastic in my opinion and this series is hands down one my favorite series period
The second was not that far behind. 1 & 2 pure gold.

This movie still holds today ❤
With cell phones and the Internet, this movie is beginning to lose its impact with the younger generation. Really sad
This movie will never die...It's like how corny the wizard of oz is but still stays relevant to watch
I agree 👍
TMNT is still one of my all time favourite of all time
The only way this movie can be better now is if there was a Anniversary release with all the behind-the-scenes details, original interviews, and reunion talk with the cast and crew.
It's coming out in 4k when the new movie comes out
@@ctv8555 don’t give one false hope
Make it so!
Raphael was always my favorite. Josh was the only guy who did the voice (of Raph) as well as wearing the suit.
that would be great!!
I'm glad the director stuck to his guns about the film, he made some great choices that we all love, I never knew the film was shot in North Carolina which is where I'm from so thats a major plus for me!!! Great video
I’ve never met anyone who remembered the cricket quote, so to hear that it’s beloved by many fans is heartening!
i do. also the comment he makes about casey jones bat. Raphael catches bat then says.. A Jose Canseco bat... tell me you didnt pay money for this :-D
@@hometownhobbies103 I’m from Australia so I had no idea who Jose Canseco was until a couple of years ago, but Raph’s delivery clearly showed a lack of respect! Brilliant

Great video, you did a great job.

Still by far the best TMNT movie.
I love the two first classic movies ninja turtles ‘ I always watched them 👌🏻
This was amazing.
Also cool to hear the original TMNT was mostly filmed in my state NC. I don't know that many movies that film here, so its nice to know one of my childhood favorite films did. :)
I remember seeing this. Thanks for the video.
Rewatched this movie the other day. It still looks awesome.
It still holds up and has charm that movies nowadays don’t. My son loves this version. He watched the new one and wasn’t into it. There’s no emotion or connection in that new junk at all.
I do like the realism, the lighting, and all the good things there are so much by the way.
Awesome 🤩 👍
Had the VHS tape as a kid and probably watched this movie 100 times. I knew every single line of this movie and probably still do. Absolute classic!!!
Always makes my day when you upload! Cowabunga !

The dark grit is a big part of what makes this movie hold up better then later attempts.

The dark and grittiness is what made it real for me as a kid. When Splinter sat Raph down for a heart to heart I really thought they were alive.

Brilliant movie. Gonna watch it now I think.
This Director authored one of my favorite movies of all time. The guy created a masterpiece.
I've noticed that when a director/actor is getting flack about something they have done and the director/actor fight for that thing, it's usually the the defining thing that everyone loved about the movie.
Man this movie was one of the greatest
I love the dark, gritty tone of the movie.. similar to Batman and Dick Tracy, which was the style in the late 80s/early 90s.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!
Man, I'd love Baron directing a modern TMNT movie and really bringing his vision from the first film to modern audiences.
That movie was perfect!!!! 💚 highlight of my childhood
The first movie was AMAZING! My number 1 movie of all time!
Definitely the best one by far. Shame they didn’t bring him back for the second or third. They made a lot less money, serves them right.
As a kid, the original TMNT was so gritty, it made me appreciate more adult themed movies of that day. I didn't like kiddy movies after that. I wanted to watch serious movies with dramatic storylines.
I honestly think TMNT helped me grow up a bit.
Loved how dark it was. The movie was great. I watched it all the time. Wish they would have actors in costumes again.
I say it before I'll say it again. The director's cut needs to released.
So cool! Born in late 87, I must have seen this movie dozens of times before I was 10. I watched it recently in my mid 30s and there was a strange newness with all the familiarities. It was like watching two movies, one I knew completely and one I had never seen, really cool to see it after so much time had passed since the last time I saw it I probably was 10.
There should be a Director's Cut of TMNT.
I agree. Considering how much "lost" cut footage that exists.
@@maximusprime3459 let's hope they dig out the footage soon from a vault 🤞🏻
I need to rewatch the movie!
Man... you just made me love this movie even more! Still the best TMNT movie by such a long way its almost embarrassing to the film industry 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Absolutely crushed it. It was so good.

Many I'm biased because I was of that age when this came out but this was a masterclass. I can still enjoy this movie today. Do it again!!!
This was amazing, l love all this BTS footage
