These guys have never had to kill before and only had their first real fight shortly before meeting april. Under those circumstances whether you think they have anything in common with "normal" teenagers or not you can still accept that they've suddenly been thrown into a strange new dynamic. For the first time in their lives they don't have their father to guide them and are left to make their own way in a world they've only had limited interaction with up to that point. When finally face to face with the man responsible for taking splinter from them and he's taunting them he might be dead it's perfectly reasonable for Leo to act like an angsty teen in that moment imo. Because really what is a teenager but a young person who's trying to figure the world and themselves out while learning to function independent from a parental figure. |

Andrew, I see your reasoning, but if we're referencing the source material, even Mirage showed the turtles to act like human teenagers. They goofed off, they played, they lost their temper. In fact, Raphael having a short temper and lack of discipline/control was his first defining characteristic in the Mirage books. Being raised their whole lives to assassinate a man they never knew apparently wasn't enough to take the "teenage" out of them. Last edited by AquaParade; 01-24-2018 at 10:31 AM. |

I think TMNT 1990 is perfect the way it is, though some bonus features such as an audio commentary and interviews with the cast would be nice.
There is already a 30-minute documentary “Making of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” on the TMNT 1990 uk dvd, at least on the one I got as part of a 3-disc movie collection with all 3 90s live-action movies.

Id want Shout Factory to do the Special Edition they have done some great ones of Bill and Ted and Army of Darkness. They get my seal of approval. Add in some special features and other things.

WB may not be motivated to license their catalog titles since they have Warner Archives now. WAC has been expanding their catalogue, including Blu Ray releases of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero, Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, and recently the TV cut of Superman: The Movie. As far as I'm aware, they don't produce new features for these releases, so if they did TMNT, it would probably still be bare bones. Granted, Shout can be a little hit and miss on special features, as well. |

Criterion has consistently great cover design. They normally publish art house movies, but The Rock and Ghostbusters are both on their roster. It'll never happen, but hey-- shoot for the moon!

Licensed companies like Criterion, Shout Factory, Arrow, and Kino Lorber are keeping the dream alive**, but then again, I remember when Anchor Bay produced DVDs rich with bonus content. All it takes is for a company like Starz to come in and stale things up.*** *One could argue the remastered, 3-hour TV cut of Superman: The Movie is a new "special feature." I surprised WAC did that. Perhaps it could be a test run for other such releases with alternate cuts? **In the US, at least. ***Shout's releases have had some positive effect with studios. Warner Bros., Universal, and Disney (via Disney Movie Club) have put more effort into releasing their catalog titles and in many cases, are using the original poster art instead of that hokey crap you usually see on today's home video releases. Unfortunately, no new special features. |

There are also films like The Goonies, Ghostbusters I & II, and Die Hard, which received special editions, but deserve better, more comprehensive material, including legitimate documentaries in some cases. And then there's The Abyss, which isn't even available on Blu Ray nor Digital HD, even though it has a significant place in vfx history with the pseudopod sequence. |

110% agree on Dick Tracy. Warren Beaty actually made a documentary about the movie, but never released it. Apparently he was in character hosting it, too. Something to do with copyright renewal, kinda like the Roger Corman Fantastic Four. I would go NUTS to see it. I'll add THE ROCKETEER to the list of movies completely left in the supplemental content by Disney. I saw someone call it the prototype MCU film not too long ago. Interesting comparison. Shame it doesn't get more attention from the Mouse. Last edited by d_osborn; 03-23-2018 at 12:18 AM. |

I've been looking forward to Cleanin' Up the Town for years. I can't to see it, but I do fear that the thing that happened to Turtle Power (and His Name Is Jason before it, as well as a number of other fan documentaries) will happen to it. I hope it stays as comprehensive as it sounds.

I love The Rocketeer. It deserves better. It always has. When it came out, it was considered a box office disappointment. I never could understand why it didn't build an audience. When I saw that image of him standing, looking up in the air, with his jet pack, I knew I had to see it. Other kids had to feel the same way. I wish Disney would license out their catalog films, such as Something Wicked This Way Comes, Never Cry Wolf, and the aforementioned Dick Tracy, Rocketeer, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Years back, they licensed out Watcher in the Woods to Anchor Bay. |

*The Goonies also needs a doc as well. *GB I and II I totally agree with although I find it sad that the fans (the Buenos) have had to make the comprehensive doc the studio should of made. Maybe Sony will licence it for an upcoming release? Quote:
I guess it's asking too much for Disney to make documentaries for the Escape to Witch Mountain movies? Quote:
But yeah they really should try and get the 1994 FF movie released properly. It's the best FF so far. It was considered a flop. Also I can honestly say The Rocketeer is better than anything Marvel have put out with the MCU. |
