If you could make a TMNT 1990 Special Edition
In the same vein of how the Star Wars Special Edition came to be, what kind of adjustments would you make?
This means you can add CGI, add deleted scenes, make small audio adjustments, stuff like that. You want all red bandanas? Go nuts. Blood? Make it rain. Just curious what you guys would do, if anything at all. |
Off the top of my head...
-Tighten up some lip syncing. -Add blinking eyes. -New orchestral score. I love John Du Prez’s score, don’t get me wrong, but I wouldn’t mind hearing something a bit more timeless as an alternative. -Add blood where appropriate (Leo slices some guys pretty good in the movie) -Re-add the scene where Shredder fights the foot soldiers. -Re-add the scene of Mikey unable to cope with Splinters disappearance. -Add a CG wide shot of the fight on the streets before the rooftop showdown to show the scope of the action. This one ventures more into a fan-edit than anything but I’d like to keep Shredder completely mute until “Ah, the RAT! So it has a name. …It had a name.” I like the idea of Shredder being this imposing SOB who enters the roman without saying a word everyone goes silent. Thats… about it, really. |
Insert the following scenes.
Casey helping Raph walk around the house after his beatdown. Casey and April come back from the grocery store. Extended blindfold fight scene where Leo teaches them how to fight blind folded. Raph finally learns how to fight blind folded in the barn. Casey falling down the well. Raph and Casey extended chase. Extended apartment fight Unconscious Raph being escorted to the van. Extended angry Mikey barn scene. Donnie upset barn scene. There might be more so put them all in or have them on the Blu-ray as deleted scenes. |
* Digitally make all the bandannas red.
* CGI blinking eyes. * CGI some better lip movement in places. * With CGI, digitally construct some actual impact to the weapons fighting. Quick shots of Leonardo slashing down Foot, etc., with digital blood. * Extended/deleted barn stuff. That's all that comes to mind, really, in terms of what could be done to it without massively ripping it apart or fundamentally changing it. |
Oof, most of these sound awesome. The movie has a great foundation, but really could use some tightening, added scenes, and yes, blood. I probably wouldn't alter the musical score unless I had something really interesting in mind though.

Pull up Leo's plastron.
Seriously, it looks like it's falling down like a bridemaid's strapless dress after the open bar portion of a wedding reception. |
I'd add in Shredder fight the Foot, restore Tatsu killing that kid and add Mikey's voice to the barn roof scene.
And Of course "all red feature", same movie but the masks are recolored red. I don't think redoing the lipsynching and adding eye blinking would add much to the movie. Too good lipsynching can make things look odd and off putting. And add as much as possible to bonus features, original trailer before the voice actors where in, deleted scenes, interviews and bts videos/photos. |
Nothing, leave it as was.
|
Go nuts? Oook...cgi glasses, shoes, dorags and computers to the turtles bodies. :lol:
Ok seriously. CGI in the technodrome somewhere secretly watching us. Not super obvious but like a UFO hidden in the sky. Like an easter egg in the background and CGI each letter onto the turtles belts. All deleted scenes, behind the scenes and 'making of' footage. |
I don't want to change the movie. Would just like to see a definitive compilation of all the deleted scenes.
|
I always thought the Turtles fight scene with Shredder on the rooftop should have been a lot longer. Seriously, all it is, is basically the Turtles going against him one by one and getting knocked down. Then one more scene of them all getting knocked off till it cuts to Leo saying, "Where's Splinter?"
The whole "fight" is less than 30 seconds. We really didn't get to see the Turtles actually fight him much when you think about it. |

Anyways, I would love to see all the deleted unused, including the B camera scenes with both alternate openings. I think there is 2 because I remember Isaac from the Turtle Doc. said there was a sequence of a boy being chased in an alley from bikers and he kicked their butts pretty good. It was Ernie Reyes Jr. |
I would love to see the original Barron/Menke edit, before Golden Harvest took over. Nothing changed or manipulated, other than what's required to finish it out.

I wouldn't mind the aforementioned Menke/Barron cut, but what I really want are the deleted scenes, a good documentary, and a commentary. A lot of the suggestions would be great. For a new movie. But unless you're Steve Barron, leave this one alone.
|
I wouldn't mind adding back the "alternate ending" scene back in as a mid-credits Easter egg. Other than that, the other deleted scenes others have mentioned, and editing Mikey's voice back into the yell on the barn roof. Always thought it was Raph due to lighting until I learned otherwise from here. That's about it.
|
Wouldn't make any changes at all.
I love it exactly as it is. |

Yes, I made a topic years ago about this very thing. The final battle is awful imo.
Why didn't we get an awesome turtles vs Shredder fight? Instead he flicks them away only to be taken out by a silly sidestep from Splinter. It makes 0 sense that they took him on one at a time...there's 4 of you! To think it was written that way and multiple people agreed it made sense. I'm sorry but I've never liked the ending. Soto's is even worse the way Super Shredder died. |
I never really thought about it but yeah, the end fight could have been expanded and improved upon.
Though maybe its just me but I always loved his fighting style in that fight. He barely moves. And when he does, it's with purpose. |
haven't seen the movie in a while.
during the end fight Leonardo lunges at Shredder with both katanas straight out. Shredder side-steps him and whacks him over the back. i'd cut that right out! remove April being a reporter. wonder if it's be possible to edit Danny out of the movie? |
