Ha! Nice work, saul. That's pretty cool to know.
As awesomely bizarre as all this sounds, I can't help but think this movie was probably better off NOT having been made. There was no shortage of crummy post-apocalyptic action movies "with attitude" in the late 90s that aspired to create a world beyond what their budget and writing could accommodate. And if people thought the 3rd live-action movie was bad... just imagine. Still... I WOULD LOVE to read those scripts! I mean... who wouldn't be curious to read a story involving this motley crew of characters! Full Download!

Corny in way as it may be, I think if done with good costumes this movie would've been INSANELY cool. & thanks a ton OMW for the scans.

Yeah, I'm wondering what the deal with all the cyborg characters. Very ridiculous.

& this is why I think it'd be insanely cool. I actually like all of that ridiculous cheese. Crazy costumes, rubber suits, lasers, etc.

True, if this was made back then it probably would be awesome...heck now it'd be kinda cool in a retro kind of way....I guess.

Hmm... one can only hope Kevin Eastman ran off a copy of his 4th movie scripts/notes for Michael Bay before he put them up for auction.
I'm kidding! I'm kidding!

"These Turtles are from an alien race..." and Casey Jones name will start with K, and he'll be a cyborg.

I still say we dodged a huge bullet with this movie. Movie 4 wasn't poetry and it wasn't even good, but it seems head and shoulders above everything I've ever read about the Kirby/Evil Sorceress/Alternate Dimensions version of the movie.

Maybe so, but I still think if nothing else that the character designs are awesome. Could've made for a rad Melting Pot inspired TMNT comic.

Well, I think it's fascinating as a curiosity and I want to know everything about it...
But I'm of the opinion that, no, this would have been a bad idea. It was very ambitious, but it seemed flawed on a conceptual level and there's no way they'd have had the budget to competently execute their grand ideas on the screen, especially considering the steady drop in box office between the last 3 movies. At best, it probably would have wound up with "camp value" a decade after its release, but I doubt it would have been a genuinely good film. Super-powered Turtles traveling to another dimension to team-up with a fifth Turtle to fight an evil sorceress that there's a 100% chance would have been portrayed by Eastman's ex-wife who was a criminally bad "actress"... Nah. No thanks. But I still want to read the script. |

The idea is awful, I wouldn't even want to see it in comic book form.
It seems like when the Turtles lost their popularity by 1993 they kept trying to find some ways to "power them up," so to speak. The original cartoon did it with the mutations, the 4th movie was going to have them get powers, Image turned Don into a cyborg, and Next Mutation added Venus.... Good god. Thank god that's all over with. |

I guess I'm one of the few who pretty much likes EVERYTHING with the turtles in it to some degree. I can't help it.

I'd give it a shot...but after the fact, I'd probably be feel it was lack luster.

The auction has 10 hours left with $240 being the current bid.
As much as I'd like to try, I just don't have that kind of money to spend right now. I hope someone else in the community is keeping an eye on the thing and is willing to give it a shot! And I hope there are no snipers lurking out there... |
