I've never noticed this until now, the movie Shredder was skinny. Don't get me wrong, the actor did a beautiful job of making Shredder scary and intimidating, but I wish he was a little bigger. He looks alright from the front, but when you look at him from the side, the helmet makes him look like a bobblehead toy. It looks too big for him.

Bruce Lee was also "skinny", Shredder was fit, not only strengthwise but also dexterity.

Your observation suggests the helmet was too big, not that the actor was too small. ;)

Some of the best fighters are exactly his size. I really love how good he was defensively with his weapon and on the counter-attack vs Leo. Very elusive.

I so wish the fight was longer.

It's both, though he wasn't skinny skinny. You guys are right. After rewatching the video, I realised you have to be the right weight to pull off some of his moves. I admit, the actor was/is a great fighter.

Is he still alive??(the actor in the costume)

He was the regular height for a Japanese martial artist. I fail to see the complaint in this thread.

Most Asians are not tall. If you want a 6 foot tall basketball player you don't look for an Asian.

Musashi Miyamoto Was a famous Japanese samurai who was over 6' tall one of the best if not the best samurai who ever lived. And should i even mention Yao Ming

Still looks fit even with the awkward angle he is twisted, i still see abs outlined, his arms don't look as fit but still plenty of definition. Not really and old pudgy person people keep say he looks plus really paparazzi shot almost never come out as the actor look in the movies if you have seen any tabloid this proves this

You tried to belittle me with your lack of grammar skills. And old pictures. Will is old just accept that. Does John T. Look like he did in grease? Use a set pic. And you won't see his body for the most part of the film because he'll be in the suit and his face is clearly old.

Grammar skills don't belittling some one, Pointing out some one fault for the pure reason to make them seem inferior is belittling some one. Hes not that old and those photo are but a couple years old. and his face doesn't look that old either.

He will certainly get a lot of face time. And kids and other random adults seeing the film without much knowledge of it will see the face and be like why the heck is he so old. We've had all types of shredders, so I guess it was a matter of time until we got an elderly one.

The one of him in the turtles lair leaked a long time ago there where a couple photos of him plus his other leaked photo of his full armor. Plus any and all descriptions of Erich Sachs is him wearing armor. and one minor description of the foot soldier committing seppuku if the ninja was wearing a traditional gi chances are so was shredder seeing as this kind of karakiri his ritualized in Japanese tradition.

That was the thread there were multiple photos

Then why are they from what it looks so far at least two totally different scenes in which shredder wears the armor seeing as if there's two scene seen =so far and each might consist of 15 min segment the that at least 30 mins time where he is in armor in at least a minimum or two scenes, Plus a very Japanese traditional Haraki scene in which he may or may not wear armor or traditional GI. in style of 2k TMNT which seems fine by me

I've seen 6 lair set pictures.

2 of them are the ones with the pizza hot box couch and Donnie's computer monitor wall.

3 of them are leaks that were taken down. TigerClaw posted one and I posted the other 2.

The 6th one is one from very early in production that has nearly nothing of interest in it.

Only ONE of these pictures has Shredder in it.

There was one more of the same room with shredder in as well from a different angle showing more the the left side and more of body of shredder. it was a smaller photograph and was blurrier it was leaked before the other and was taken down before the other were leaked but was "confirmed" via the photo tiger posted being taken in the same space and clearer.

you'd do better screaming at a wall. at this point, the line has been drawn in the sand. those on the one side will fight tooth and nail to defend the designs of the new movie turtles and on the other are those that think the designs have gone too far and are absurd.

neither side will win the argument.

and when the movie comes out.....and whoopie goldberg is "burnadette" the head of channel 6 news. and raph turns into a human and has his romantic kiss with april.....we can dish out the crow.

I think the 90s shredder was the perfect size for that movie because the turtles were smaller those proportions were more accurate to the mirage comics but these turtles are huge so they had to beef up the suit to compensate, although I don't see he really fighting the turtles like he did in that film.

With the new movie Shredder looking like he is wearing a pimped out exoskeleton, I wonder if Eric Sachs tries in the movie to match the turtles first without the Shredder suit, and after he gets beaten by the turtles he returns for the movie's climax in the Shredder suit and is now stronger and able to take the turtles on a even level.

That's a fair assumption and a good point considering we don't know from which point in the movie those pictures come from, speaking of that I don't see the turtles wearing all of their clothing items throughout the entire film in the one scene they get captured I don't think the shredder will let them wear armor and high tech gear.
