For those who remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Blast From The Past (episode 47), the Leader of the Foot clan was the only one whu knew the Kur-li maneuver, and so Splinter knew it, but it turned out to be a couple of funny arm waves a knock on the forehead and a few slaps and then a gentle wave in front of the face with a feather fan - yeah it paralized Shredder all the while, who Splinter was performing it on, but I expected it to be some real fast, impressive arm movements or backflips or something. Those who have seen that episode, what were you expecting when the great Kur-Li maneuver was mentioned - since it's so secret an all. Those who haven't seen the episode, what would you have expected too?
btw, the way Splinter did the Kur-li was pretty funny tho, I think I was still staring with my eyebrows raised when the cartoon had finished, like 'wtf??!'

The kur-li (or curly) move was so funny!!! When I saw this I thought it would be some simple move that paralyzed you...like just touching a certain spot and you would get knocked out.

Well....If the show wasn't censored, possibly a series of quick and brutal hits that would knock Shredder out cold, requiring Bebop and Rocksteady to carry him out on a stretcher. Could be comical, considering Shredder wouldn't know what to expect.

Dumb as it was, it did fit in perfectly with the old show. So I can't imagine it being anything other than it was. They almost always beat the bad guys in some dumb comedic way, anyway. :lol:

True, but I think I'd laph even more if it turned out to be something very impressive

well, it is Cur-ly manuever because it was obviously having Splinter act the Curly from the three stooges. I thought it was done perfectly for the show at the time. "You.... impostors!" "Mama!"

Yeah, but they didn't use a stretcher I think. It's just not the same. It would actually be quite funny if Krang sent up some sort of a special modified ambulance unit module, with a red cross on it and all. I think Shredder needed it.

lol, yeah, ok
btw, I just got the word spelt 'kur-li' from the subtitles at the bottom of the cartoon.

:lol: :lol: It did fit very well with the original TV series. During the entire episode, they kept on mentioning it as a way of suspense. It turned out to be very funny.

probably the worth episode of the 3rd season. Almost all flashbacks, bah. a poor filler episode.

I was a bit dissapointed with the episode flashbacks, I'd got all of those episodes anyway

Keep in mind that this episode was probably meant as a brief reiteration of the intro season for those who just "tuned in" to the show. It took a few seasons for the turtles to become popular, so in a way, it was good they had such an episode.

Yea, and even tho i already saw the first episode I really liked this one, i think the kur-li move was one of the funniest things in tmnt.

the first time i saw it as a kid, i didn't get it, then last year i saw the clip from a site, and didm't get it either, then the second time i got it and couldn't stop laughing, mostly 'cuz splinter rarely does funny things and that one was very funny!

I really laughed at the kur-li maneuver when I first saw it as a little kid, and I still laugh at it now. It fit in perfectly with the whole show, and it came as a surprise because it wasn't what I expected.

Well i wasn't sure what to expect, but I thought it'd be something more serious than that!
