Ernie Reyes Jr, pizza boy, was the little kid in The Last Dragon if you haven’t seen that yet. Also he played Donatello’s stuntman in TMNT 1. Was also in movies like Surf Ninjas and The Rundown.
@ awesome !!! You’ll luv it! And for all intents and purposes he turned to the dark side while meditating with Yoda….i mean Master Splinter. Lol. Also if you’re a WWE/ WCW wrestling fan, Kevin Nash played Super Shredder.
As a kid this was my favorite. I liked the brighter colors and cleaner look. I didn’t even register the lack of violence. Now that I’m nearly 40 the first one is the best.
Keno's actor Ernie Reyes was a stunt performer wearing one of the turtle suits in the first movie; the producers were impressed enough with his talents that they gave him an actual character to play on camera.
heres why April was recast.....Judith Hoag was not called in to reprise her role as April O'Neil after the director was unhappy when she derided the way they mistreated the stunt doubles and their unfair schedules changes.
I mean Vanilla Ice generally gets mocked because he was an obvious industry plant in his time (a corny one might I add, even in his time) and his shall we say interesting explanation for how Ice Ice Baby's melody is "different" from Pressure. That said, I like his song in this film. I've never heard anyone go after Vanilla Ice for appearing in this movie. My only issue with his appearance is that its so random. They go from an isolated alley fight to crowded, dingy 90s club so abruptly and then Vanilla Ice is just there. Crammed into the last 5 minutes of the film. Then Super Shredder is just there for a final cutscene quick time event. Oh and in a movie where mutant martial arts animals altered by green ooze fight each other I find Vanilla Ice coming up with this Go Ninja Go "freestyle" on the spot right on stage to be the most immersion shattering, unrealistic thing.
@@habadasheryjones yep at the time he was a sub standard star obviously there to bring a Black Genre to White kids in the Suburbs but even with knowing that by todays standards he's at least entertaining Todays music sounds so much alike it feels like a company pulling the strings
*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 Leo, Raph, Donnie and Mikey unmutated Tokka and Rahzar, and that does include the 4-on-1 shell assault on Tatsu.* Side note: the bite of an alligator snapping turtle is severe. The force of their bite is measured at 158 Newtons or over 1,000 pounds per square inch of pressure.
Fun Facts, in the comics the TGRI corporation was ran by aliens. And, also parents felt the first movie was too violent with the weapons, during the production of Secret of the Ooze they had to dial back the violent & use of the weapons
@@NiaMakiReacts there's a kraft mac and cheese commercial where he does this song, and he's getting somewhere with a mom until her kid shuts it down hard.
*Homieee, you are the greatest for this! This is my favorite TMNT movie...one of my favorite movies!! I know the whole script, fight choreography and dance move from this movie!!! I'm bout to cry cause this was me and my cousins, my friens childhood yo* 😭
it's a fun ride. It isn't attempting a public service message like the first one was. You are here to watch the famous Ninja Turtles being silly and it's good for it. Don't be the kind of person (me) that looks at production on this one or FX and notices when the laces of the costumes are visible on screen (yeah). Fun and to illustrate I was dragged to this movie by some friends and literally it was the most engaged I have ever seen a theater. All ages and walks of life, because this one was packed since it is the Turtles. Right away my goofball friends and I got up in front of the screen and did a kick dance to the men's big and tall advert before the movie and got the audience riled up because we noticed how energetic they were. And that energy continued throughout the film. At most points people were standing and pumping their fists and either singing or shouting some of the quotes (Cowabunga of course), repeating the lines (They're baaabiiies!). it was like being at a concert in an arena. So I think it is easy to call this film frenetic and in a good way. It isn't earning any awards but sometimes a movie doesn't need to and just needs to be a fun time imo.
I grew up on the Ninja Turtle Movies, but this was the one that I owned on VHS so not only did I basically have this movie memorized, but Paige Turco was my April O'Neil. Also, David Warner (the professor) was this very famous actor, but I still just think of him as the professor from this.
@@NiaMakiReacts I am told that I saw the first one in theaters, but I would have been like 2 or 3, so I probably wouldn't have noticed at the time and by the time I would have noticed all the movies were Paige Turco (she comes back for TNMT 3).
snapping turtles are surprisingly fast when they need to be (check out videos of them biting things) and insanely aggressive when threatened. it's a good pick.
Keno the pizza boy was actually the actor in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles playing Donatello! My brother and I still do the "It's a little too Raph" joke randomly 30 years later😂 🍕🐢🐢🐢🐢
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the original comics or the 1987 cartoon, but Professor Perry was originally supposed to be an Utrom. It's a race of aliens that resemble a brain with tentacles. You may know Krang from the 87 cartoon. Even though the reveal didn't happen, there are clues in the movie. The TGRI lab looks nothing like a normal lab, especially with the pyramid and the brain shaped thing in the middle. Also, at the end of the film, April mentioned the sudden disappearance of TGRI. It's a reference to the whole building vanishing in the comics.
Shredder came back cause the producers wanted this to be more like the cartoon. There was a script where a garbage man found Shredder’s crushed helmet. You’ll notice the Turtles don’t use their weapons as much in this movie but rely on other items. Parents complained about the darkness and violence in the first movie. They brought in Keno to replace Casey Jones due to his violent nature. 13:08 the actor in the Leonardo suit wanted to do the backflip but it was deemed too dangerous and looked for a stunt double to do it after his said he didn’t know how. Mark Caso who is the main Leonardo actor was a national gymnastics competitor showed them he could do it and was allowed to do it. 18:48 the test was remove as many as you can without making a sound. You don’t have to get them all just as much as possible without making a sound. Raph needed Keno cause they didn’t know where the hideout was. Raph could get in easily if he knew where it was. The Turtles face masks are now with more electronics and lighter than the original movie. 21:20 he feels that this is their fight and not for the master to interfere. 29:49 yeah they had to find a way to still get a fun fight and not have them go back to normal so fast. I loved the soundtrack when it came out. The music is so good. A lot of newer movies don’t do such a great job on the soundtracks anymore unless they’re using 80s & 90s music (some 70s and earlier too but 80s and 90s had some of the best music). 32:14 I paused this scene and went through slow motion on this scene so many times to see how the speaker shot him across the room.
Ok, you have to understand, when this sequel came out, it was at the height of Turtlemania. The cartoon was airing on CBS Saturday mornings with new episodes, an arcade game had already come out, merchandise everywhere, 2 Nintendo games had been released already, you couldn't flip the channel on your TV without seeing SOMETHING Ninja Turtles related. And DUDE, don't get me started on the comics, there were 2 separate comic series running at the same. One was the violent Mirage Studios original (that the first movie drew much of its inspiration from), and the other was the Archie Adventures comics that were based on the cartoon but by 1991 was beginning to spin off into its own continuity. Having said all this, it explains why this movie was so much more.....kid friendlier, let's say. I mean, Casey squashed Shredder in the back of a dump truck in the last movie, Turtles themselves likely killed several Foot guys with those weapons, so that violence was dialed way back now that the Turtles were children's entertainment cash cows. Still like this one, though, less so now as an adult but LOVED it as a kid.
You have to understand it wasn't the writer's fault. When he wrote his original story which was the storyline of the 1st movie The company that bought the rights completely screwed him over. In the contract they gave themselves the right to change the story which basically meant it wasn't his story anymore. Krang, dimension X, basically the entire original animated story timeline was made-up for children to make money rather than the original story that was geared towards late teens early adults. To me the 1st movie was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and everything else was a cheap knockoff
@joshuasharrock466 Are you talking about the 1st TMNT film screenwriter? I know New Line didn't want him back for the sequel because parents complained about the first movie being so dark and violent, but that's it in that regard. Because Eastman and Laird owned the TMNT license up until much later. Peter Laird didn't sell it off until 2012 to Viacom/Nickelodeon. He still retains the rights to publish the then running TMNT vol 4 comics he was writing, but he hasn't published anything since. I do remember both Kevin and Peter saying they didn't like elements of older cartoon like Bebop and Rocksteady, which is pretty funny since I heard it was their input on the 2nd movie that omitted them in favor of Tokka and Rayzar. Again, I only heard about this years ago on some random post so can't say if that's true or not. I don't recall hearing about how they actually felt about the Fred Wolf cartoon overall, I'd like to know what they have to say about it now. It's THAT show that pretty much shaped the TMNT brand for years overshadowing the darker original Mirage versions, and still does to an extent.
@@nedzed3663 the screenwriter was on a podcast a couple of years ago and said the only way he was going to get popular was to sell the rights to his story which is why there are two different storylines. The only reason archie's adventures was allowed to make the story was because of the contract. As far as the original story being too violent and dark I have to respectfully disagree. The only difference between the first story and the second one is that the turtles are killing robots instead of teenagers. The actions of killing or destroying are the exact same. A claim like new line didn't want him back because of emotional reasons when we're talking about the 80s and 90s here is a complete lie. New line might have said that but the rich company explaining why both the story fell apart and it's not their fault is total Bull.
@nedzed3663 i hope you understand I was disagreeing with the company and not your knowledge though. Everything you said I believe is true. Everything you expressed. I believed as well... I'm disagreeing with the reason the company gave
I wasn’t even paying attention to the major shift in tone, it was definitely more kid friendly here. I don’t even get how after being crushed like that in the first movie he could come back in one piece lol
@NiaMakiReacts Wasn't that bad to me either, but you know how "moral guardians" (and I use that term loosely) like to "protect" (again used loosely) children from "bad things" 🙄
Ernie Reyes Jr. "Keno" is a legitimate martial artist he's been doing it his whole life with his father. he had a small part in The Last Dragon as kid great movie himand his father didca whole movie calls Surf Ninjas totally underrated and hard to find he also had a small part in The Rundown where he fights The Rock also a great movie and a lot stunt work on various other films.
I wouldn’t bother with the third movie. It’s the cinematic equivalent of leaving a flaming paper bag of dog poop on someone’s front porch and ringing the doorbell.
While Brian Tochi & Robbie Rist are back voicing Leo / Mikey, respectively...Adam Carl (who was also in Monster Squad as Derek, EJ's 'plus-one') is the voice of Donatello for this installment, replacing Corey Feldman; and Laurie Faso (Webster / Transformers '84 / GI Joe - The Movie '87 / The Little Troll Prince / Snorks / Darkwing Duck / Vampire Princess Miyu / Family Law) is the voice of Raphael, replacing Josh Pais; likewise for Kenn Scott [Troum] (in terms of the in-suit acting, a promotion from the stunt performances in the previous film). Also, director Michael Pressman makes a cameo as the news manager just before April gets her call, alongside a co-worker (Mark Caso - the in-suit actor for Leo), and his late parents Sasha & David also make cameos when Tokka & Rahzar (portrayed in suits by Kurt Bryant & Mark Ginther, with Frank Welker voicing both characters) destroy a block.
Not at first when I viewed it in theaters 34 years ago (I was 2 at the time); but upon further delving into the first 2 via VHS / various syndicated airings on USA and other networks, and even revisiting the entire trilogy (including the infamous 3) in the 2000s - over 2 decades ago, I couldn't help but notice how keen I was when it comes to spotting certain actors' reps. Also, Judith Hoag was recast (the crew sent in Paige Turco to replace her) due to Hoag's falling out with the in-suit performers on set, not to mention the scheduling conflicts and the amount of violence depicted. But I digress...
"If we can make more of them then they'd be normalized..." funnily enough, in the most recent comic series (there've never really stopped doing TMNT comics) one of the Turtles enemies (a mutant alley cat named Old Hob) did just that- he detonated a mutagen bomb over a part of New York, causing a chunk of the population to mutate... and as expected, the rest of the city put up a wall around that section so as to keep them separate from the normal populace.
The tone of this movie is a bit more goofy than the first movie, and the turtles almost never use their weapons. This is partially due to the popularity of the cartoon series that was running at the time and the desire to make the movie have a similar tone, but largely due to concerns and complaints from parents that the Ninja Turtles were too violent for their audience of children.
After seeing your reactions to both TMNT movies, I hope you consider watching Batman vs. TMNT animated movie and the TMNT animated movie. There are many 80s and 90s martial arts movies that are a fun watch. But, I do hope that you watch Romeo Must Die (2000) with Aaliyah. It was her first movie and she did 4 songs in the movies soundtrack, which is great.
Aghh I keep forgetting to add that to the poll when thinking of martial arts movies, but I’m definitely going to have to check out the one with Batman too!
@@NiaMakiReacts They're the spicy part of the trio. Salty, savory, and spicy all together. Been considering what to add for sweet for the full range. Also, I grew up in the southern US, so...
21:29 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 Why does every young Asian-American person seem to say that about their Asian parents? I mean, are they really that cold? Or is it just Asian parents that immigrated west? 😔
@NiaMakiReacts then you might enjoy the comedy Joy Ride. I still haven't seen it, but I would if you reacted to it. But it shouldn't be confused with the early 2000s road trip thriller Joy Ride starring Paul Walker, another great film.
The biggest let down for every kid who saw this movie was that there was no actual fight between Super Shredder and the turtles. All the build up for an anti climatic looney tunes death.
The first will always be fantastic but this remains my top out of the three movies, skip the third is my suggestion. The scientist was great and i will always know him as the voice of Ra's a Gul from Batman: The Animated Series.

Also, Judith Hoag was recast (the crew sent in Paige Turco to replace her) due to Hoag's falling out with the in-suit performers on set, not to mention the scheduling conflicts and the amount of violence depicted. But I digress...
Awesome reaction of my favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Ayeee!!!
With that wax-on/wax-off reference
"If we can make more of them then they'd be normalized..." funnily enough, in the most recent comic series (there've never really stopped doing TMNT comics) one of the Turtles enemies (a mutant alley cat named Old Hob) did just that- he detonated a mutagen bomb over a part of New York, causing a chunk of the population to mutate... and as expected, the rest of the city put up a wall around that section so as to keep them separate from the normal populace.
Oh… 😂 oops, well I guess there goes that theory 😂
3rd movie is in this time line but doesn't address issues. NEXT few movies are all reboots
Keno was Leonardo in the suit in the first movie
Tomato pie is the only way to go as a NJ resident.
Splinter makes the best funnies.
You got to watch TMNT 3
Ninja 🥷 rap is born
Love this oneeeeeeeeeee 🐢 🥷
❤️
If you want to continue the Turtle journey I would recommend moving on to the remake sequel.👍🏾
🐢✊️
Alright girl! GO NINJA GO NINJA GOOOO!!! lol Now you need to see TMNT 3!!!
💃 💃
@NiaMakiReacts What's this?😂
You should watch the 2014 TMNT movie next
Nia ❤😊
The tone of this movie is a bit more goofy than the first movie, and the turtles almost never use their weapons. This is partially due to the popularity of the cartoon series that was running at the time and the desire to make the movie have a similar tone, but largely due to concerns and complaints from parents that the Ninja Turtles were too violent for their audience of children.
TMNT sequel is kid friendly.
Parents we're upset because it was very dark the first one.
Yea you should really check out surf ninjas it has a young rob Schneider in it also
After seeing your reactions to both TMNT movies, I hope you consider watching Batman vs. TMNT animated movie and the TMNT animated movie. There are many 80s and 90s martial arts movies that are a fun watch. But, I do hope that you watch Romeo Must Die (2000) with Aaliyah. It was her first movie and she did 4 songs in the movies soundtrack, which is great.
Aghh I keep forgetting to add that to the poll when thinking of martial arts movies, but I’m definitely going to have to check out the one with Batman too!
Pepperoni is a MUST for me 😋 I also like adding cheddar or jalapeños 😊 Them again, I'll eat whatever type of pizza, because...it's pizza 😅
Whhhhaaaaaa?! To think, pepperoni can be too spicy for me at times, you said jalapeños??
@@NiaMakiReactsThere's also Barbecue Chicken pizza, another favorite of mine 😋 Less spicy 😅
Here's a question not even related to the movie, but an observation I made. Your diamond ring is on your right pinky finger. lol
👍
Dang Nia, lookin good.
Aw shizz,
@21:08 .... I just want to know your name.
Last night Iiiiiiiii~
Alfredo sauce with cheese, pepperoni and jalapenos.
U had me till y said jalapeños! 🥵
@@NiaMakiReacts They're the spicy part of the trio. Salty, savory, and spicy all together. Been considering what to add for sweet for the full range. Also, I grew up in the southern US, so...
21:29 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 Why does every young Asian-American person seem to say that about their Asian parents? I mean, are they really that cold? Or is it just Asian parents that immigrated west? 😔
They say I love you in different ways, you gotta read between the lines. What they say overtly instead is how you failed and what you need to work on
@NiaMakiReacts then you might enjoy the comedy Joy Ride. I still haven't seen it, but I would if you reacted to it. But it shouldn't be confused with the early 2000s road trip thriller Joy Ride starring Paul Walker, another great film.
Tmnt 2016 bayverse (1st bulletpoof no.. no. 2nd), Mutant Mayhem 2023
I miss Rocksteady and Bebop.
You said lions and tigers and bears after you wondered what two dangerous animals you could think of. Isn't that three animals?
It is lol
Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
The biggest let down for every kid who saw this movie was that there was no actual fight between Super Shredder and the turtles. All the build up for an anti climatic looney tunes death.
Yo they really didn’t… I assumed they couldn’t take him down, cause splinter was technically the only one that stood a chance last movie
When are u doing Hannibal Rising?¿°°¿°
Can you watch get rich or die trying movie 50cent
The first will always be fantastic but this remains my top out of the three movies, skip the third is my suggestion. The scientist was great and i will always know him as the voice of Ra's a Gul from Batman: The Animated Series.
Oooih, I’ll probably be checking that out eventually too
u are very beautiful!😍
Aww thank you!
No one piece live action or squid game
Hi my name is Jason I wanted to know if you are available I think you're very beautiful
Third movie is a big downgrade from this one, and has no story threads from the previous movies. It's its own thing.
Oh… that’s a bit of a let down
Oof, another kids movie. Why kids movies!???
The third film was whack! Don’t watch it😊
