1993 European Vacation Episodes

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Does anyone know if the USA episodes of the turtles vacationing in Europe was really meant for the 1990 season? I remember at the end of the first episode of the 1990 season, "Plan Six from Outer Space," and the turtles won a trip to go to Europe . . . but then they don't end up leaving until 1993? Does that make sense?

And here is another question, since many of my forum pals have taught me to conserve space with one listing instead of several :) , what exactly is the reason that Michaelangelo got his nunchukus taken away? I remember it having something to do with parents taking action or something, but really . . . if they took away the nunchukus, why was Leonardo still allowed to keep his swords or Raphael to keep his sais? Sharp, silver things that slice and dice seem a lot more dangerous to me than two widden sticks chained together and used in circular patterns.

Raphael: What would Dregg want with a bunch of old clocks?
Michaelangelo: Maybe the dude's got a lot of time on his hands.
Raphael: AH-HA! Leave the comedy to professionals, Michaelangelo.

Have you seen Leo or Raph actually using their weapons? Chukus were easily simulated... That might be the reason.

Yeah...someone told me that since the nunchucks were so small and easy to hide, they had to remove them because they didn't wanted kids to go around with chucks...which makes no frickin' sense to me!!!!i mean look at the sais, they're small too!damn it! :x :x :x :x :lol:

I remember episodes where Leonardo and Raphael used their weapons. I can think of numerous episodes where Leonardo chopped up a foot soldier with his swords, or where Raphael put a sai to some robots head to scramble its circuits. I've also seen Raphael throw his sais at opponents, which is pretty dangerous if you think about it. I guess only in Cartoon World do characters have a perfect sense of aim.

The whole nunchukus fiasco just didn't make sense to me. That weapon was part of Michaelangelo's identity, and a few parents didn't like it for some reason. There are several cartoons that air today that are far more violent than the Ninja Turtles ever were, and you don't see parents swooping down with heavy hands on those shows.

"Let me guess. You guys are the Tooth Fairy, right?"
"NAAAHHH!" There ain't four Tooth Fairies, stupid. Them's the Seven Dwarfs!"

Bebop and Rocksteady, from "Shredderville"

Perfect sense of aim...LOL!
Bebop and Rocksteady always missed when the turtles when they used the laser guns :lol:

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Didn't you ever notice that whenever a bad guy was aiming for the turltes with something - the lasers of a gun or some other kind of weapon - that they always missed by a hundred miles? But when the bad guys would have to take out a civilian, or take out somebody of their own, they always had perfect aim?

Something smells around here, and it ain't pretty. It reeks of plot device.

A good example is the episode, "Four Musketurtles." Bebop and Rocksteady could never hit anything with their terrible aim, especially when they were going for the turtles. But then Krang demands them to take their shots since he is protected by some force field. Rocksteady takes a perfect shot at Krang's force field. How come he can't do that when he's aiming at the turtles?

Because it would be the end of the show, that's why. The bad guys are never allowed to nail the good guys. It's the first rule in the Cartoon Rules Codebook.

"Those two mutants couldn't steal a free sample!" - Krang, from "Invasion of the Krangezoids"

[Nickokapo]

Yeah, the toon characters always used the weapons to hit objects and robots and all that stuff, but when they were fighting each other, their aim sucked :dead: and it's not the only cartoon i've seen it happen...

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

While the bad guys never had perfect aim, the turtles couldn't miss. I remember an episode where Michaelangelo swipes away an enemy's weapon for the thousandth time and says something like, "You know, I wish I had a dollar for every weapon I've taken away from you goons." I wonder what the turtles did with all of Bebop and Rocksteady's laser guns?

"What a bunch of turkey-covered TURKIES!!!" - Leonardo, from "Leonardo Lightens Up"

[Nickokapo]

"You know, I wish I had a dollar for every weapon I've taken away from you goons."
Dejavu! :o i remember hearing that from the episode i saw yesterday, i think it was invasion of the krangazoids, im not sure...errrr, anyways yeah they could take their weapons away but they rarely hit someone with em :|

I want to say that that quote is from "Shredder Triumphant!", but I'm not sure."

"When in doubt, pig out!" - Michaelangelo, from (insert episode here)

[Karpo_007]

You must be talking about the first season... When Japanimation left, so did the cool fighting scenes...

[Deathknight]

What a lot of people don't know about the European vacation is that it was aired in 1992. Not 1993.... I have every Europe vacation episode edited or not and they all say copyright 1992. And about your quote with a missing ep Ninja turtle fan... it's from Burne's blues.
"Do what you will with me Shredder, but know that evil can never conquer good." "Don't be ridiculous of course it can! Why else would I be in this line of work?" Shredder and Splinter -Muckman Messes up
"How many times are you idiots going to fail me?!" "Oh lots more times boss!" "Yeah, we ain't the least bit tired." Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady- Super Rocksteady and Mighty Bebop

I always figured Donnie took them apart for spare parts to build other things with.

The weapons thing is a tough call. Nunchaku are very dangerous. It takes about 8 pounds of pressure to break bone. Nunchucks can generate up to 80. (I think those are the numbers.) And they are illegal in some states and countries, due to them being easily concealed.

While the bad guys never had perfect aim, the turtles couldn't miss.mister they r ninja lots of though training end up with results like that, but u r right i like that cuz is a cartoon, but it anyway makes sense :wink:

[PWDESAI]

did anyone see the twisted toyfare theater back a while ago with the gijoes?They invaded spider-mans house, cobra and the joes, and were fighting and then you see dusty shooting at some cobra soldiers, and spider man goes aim a little lower, and pushes his gun down, and then it hits a cobra soldier, and the soldiers say man you shot raplh, and then dusty is like that's not how we play.
I thought that was funny, i guess you could replace the turtles with the joes, and the cobra with bebop and rocksteady
