Finkle is Einhorn!

But seriously
In light of the new TURTLES film to be released next year, WE ARE IN FACT EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN IMPROVED TRANSFER AND BONUS MATERIALS.
I'm definately down for that! The only thing that makes we wonder is the date of the post. This is really old news, shouldn't we have have heard something by now?

[Jester]

Exactly, heck WB and New Line are sister companies, I'm suprised it didn't happen a year ago. :(

[Spitfire]

I'm not. They whored out that ****** box set of all 3 movies instead. They also sold the movies for 5 each. At least at Best Buy and Wal-mart.

[gobo]

Marketers do anything to keep the green man down... :ohwell:

:D

[dwaynewest]

do you think we should set up a petition i emailed the official ninja turtles website and they have not being contacted about any special edition dvd i suggest we email the bigwigs and maybe we may get that special edition dvd

[Jester]

It's been done.

[Shark_Blade]

It's been done.What do you mean?

Anyway, I much prefer a Blu Ray release. We got TMNT already we might as well add the other movies on the list.

[Jester]

That could work, they could even do a 2 disk special edition regular DVD then, like they did with I am Legend and are doing with Walk Hard.

EDIT: A petition, it's bee done.

[gobo]

More than once, I think...

[dwaynewest]

if there is a petition i will sign it i would love to see the deleted scenes i know they exist since i have seen pics at least see below

I'm curious. What exactly could they put on a TMNT special edition DVD? They could attempt to bring a few people back for commentaries, but it's not like we'd get much in the way of special features beyond one or two deleted scenes (if those scenes are even still in existence). I would think that if they made any behind-the-scenes stuff or interviews when the movie was made that they would already be available.

heres a link for TMNT Speical Edition dvd petition http://www.petitiononline.com/tmnt1se/petition.html .

[Raven]

I wouldnt hold your breath on getting any kind of special edition DVD. Even if they did try to go through with the idea what conidition is the material in any way?

If its in rough shape I can bet you they'll drop it right there, I dont see them trying to throw some money into cleaning up the footage.

Well not unless theres a huge Turtles fan in the upper offices with enough say, but I highly doubt well ever get anything close to what we are hoping for.

[Kendamu]

I'd buy it even if it were only a new single-sided DVD with cleaned up footage.

[gobo]

I'm curious. What exactly could they put on a TMNT special edition DVD?
As far as everyone knows, there's at least the two movie-themed music videos, Spin That Wheel and Turtle Power. The rest would be new-to-the-public. Of course there's a music video for movie 2's song, Awesome (You Are My Hero) by Ya Kid K, that I'm more eager to see.

Same here. ^_^

I could see a blu ray coming along for the three movies in a couple years...think we just gotta give it time...look at where we are now with dvds...they are at the end of their run and soooo many movies have been re-released...I think the same could happen for tmnt on blu ray.

[Spitfire]

I don't even want a SE I just want a cleaner version and it already exists in the UK so it's already been cleaned up they just need to release it here. A remix of the audio would do well as well.

[Revan]

What is different about the cleaned UK version?

[Drtooth]

That could work, they could even do a 2 disk special edition regular DVD then, like they did with I am Legend and are doing with Walk Hard.


Yes, but what's the difference between I am Legend and the 1990's TMNT movies? I am Legend was pretty much made into a DVD while it went to theaters. These days they make a movie specifically for a DVD release. That's why they have a million special features on newer DVD's, even horrible flops like Norbit. I'm guessing New Line or Warners junked the unused footage for TMNT, and other things like that. I mean, UHF wouldn't have had any deleted scenes in the DVD if Weird Al didn't keep an old VHS of them.

[drasgow]

wasn't there a behind the scenes documentary "behind the shells"? they could put that on it.

[Jester]

It came out Pre-SotO (Secret of the Ooze).

[gobo]

And, as soon as Roseangelo comes by, she'll insist that it's more about the second than the first. Just you wait and see. :P

(That's friendly teasing, Rose. I hope you know that.) :embarass:

[AquaParade]

You know youre close with someone on a message board when you can dictate what their post's will be about:lol:

[gobo]

Great minds think alike is all. ^_^

[Spitfire]

What is different about the cleaned UK version?

Well it's cleaner, which is great, and the sound is better. Also the removed nunchuck scenes are back but that's only a treat for people who live in Europe because it was only removed from the movie over there.

[thebrownranger]

Man, I hope this works. I signed that petition online just recently. Does any body have TMNT Behind The Shells they could post up on youtube? I know there's part 1 on youtube, but the rest isn't there.

[gobo]

Really? I thought that tape was Macrovisioned...

[thebrownranger]

Ain't sure what thats means, but yeah its on youtube.

[gobo]

Copy-protection that would render any attempted copies unwatchable... I learned what a pain it is to get around while trying to put my Video Yearbook to DVD. >_<

[Tinuvielsdreams]

I have the VHS and access to a VHS to DV transfer deck...
ummm I mean, I would never do that, I certainly wouldn't even think about it...

[Tinuvielsdreams]

Yeah I had to try it a few time for film projects in college, it's really a pain when you go through all that trouble to set it up and it doesn't work anyway. It was kinda funny though cause they were basically teaching us to bootleg.

Someone must have gotten it though cause it's on there...

[dwaynewest]

this the nearest i could find

[thebrownranger]

Like I already said before man, its been posted on youtube. *sighs* doesn't anybody read what i post? :dead:

[AquaParade]

It really would be a treat so see a cleaned up version of the film. It does look pretty grainy...although I do wonder if that would steal away some of the charm...Imagine them trying to make it all bright and neon to appeal to kids.:lol:.....:|aw crap.
