TMNT Deleted Scenes
 

Watching the trailer for the 1st movie, I noticed some scenes weren't in the final cut. One was of a sewer lid flying off and steam coming out and another of the TMNT's shells rising out of the water. I also heard of a scene where Leo fights the other 3 turtles while wearing a blindfold. Does anyone know where I can get some more info on these scenes?

THANKS!!! :)

well, during the montage of the guys staying at the farmhouse, they did fight blindfolded for a few seconds...

on this one site they show a picture of donatello talking to master splinter about raphael branging april

Ooohh! I never heard of that one! Got a link?

If you have watched the DVD version of the first movie, it does show Leo sparring the other 3 wearing a blindfold. That is not a deleted scene.

Yes, but the blindfold sparring scene was supoosed to be much longer, showing all of them wearing a blindfold as they fought the others (who could see.) On my VHS tape they only show Mike's session.

There's also supposed to be a part where Don makes Raph a new pair of sai. And an ending where April and Danny take the idea of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to a comic book publisher, but he says it's too unbelievable!

Not sure if those scenes were cut from the script or were filmed and cut.

I have the script from teh fiorst movie, with cut scenes in that. But I had not seen anything that would be considered a deleted scene (aside from the promo pics they had on the cover, press releases or in magazines). I did get some still shots of them sparring at the farmhouse, and you can see them taking turns with mask turned. (unfortunately, I don't have those pics uploaded yet)

I do have this mysterious picture (from a magazine) that like...

[edit: found a bigger picture! ]

:teek:


Interesting picture, HT....

:D

I also remembered I had this press realese pic uploaded. It's a bit large, so I'm just listing the URL. But I love how Leo is 'resting' his beak on Mike's shoulder. :lol:

And then this interesting view of Leo (which was in the movie, but it's just funny to look at) :goofygri:

*decides to stop here while she's still ahead*

Also there was an entire scene that was shot then never used. It involved April and Danny going to a comic publisher to create a TMNT comic. The comic representative turns them down. Laird mentions it in a recent Blast from the Past.

aww, i like that sad pic, HT... :( so sad....

there was another deleted scenes where raph was listing to muisc and that other scenes of don talking to splinter i don't know what that website is at

The pic of Leo is great. Shows how well the Jim Henson team did with the costumes. I wish I had those costumes, I'd wear it for Halloween or something. That would be cool.

Yhea, I know more about that, April brought those pictures she drew of the TMNT to the comic book company with Danny, and of course while they were talking to the executive, the Turtles had climed up the building and were looking in the window, right behind the comic book exec. makin' faces and such, then the guy says something like: "These are very intresting pictures Miss O'neil, but I'm afraid as an idea for a comic book this idea is to... far fetched" April and Danny start laughing and the Turtles are upset, the last shot in the movie is Mikey, staring at the camera asking the audience:
"Far fetched?!"

Also I believe during the part where April was narating at the farmhouse about how each turtle was dealing with things she says that she's worried about Michealangelo, all he does is train all day and night like a maniac, the scene of Mikey with the punching bag is used later on but I believe it was apart of this scene.

was there any deleted scenes to TMNT2?

deleted...
 

That comic book scene sounds cool..wish I could see that. I hate it when they cut out stuff.

Yeah about the Michaelangelo thing...April never did mention him when she's drawing at the farmhouse. I wondered about that.

Yeah, the script, the comic, and also the book written after the movie has foresaid scenes that were cut out (namely, the "blindfold" lessons, how depressed the turtles were at the farm, the comic book idea.)

I think they they left otu the parts showing how depressed Mike was, because they were afraid some viewers who only knew Mikey as a party dude would not understand his great sadness. And the fears he had during the first part of the movie about the thought of Splinter "Being Gone" forever. (The graphic novel book goes into this area nicely)

I think it was Dawnatello's old website you speak of, where she had pics of Raph wearing the headphones. I think those were promo shots they made for the VHS cover and the TMNT seasonal magazine they were putting out at the same time. (I loved the pick with Jim Henson they had too!) But there were others, like the Raph n Don one, I wonder was part of the actual movie. Like the part where Don was making new sai or something.

All the more for me to wait and see if they will make a Special Edition DVD on these movie!

I believe that there is one scene that was cut out of TMNT 2. It is when Donny breaks into the TGRI lab with a credit card. It occurs after they are on the TGRI roof.

Re: TMNT Deleted Scenes
 

That scene in particular made its way into a kid's book adaptation of the scene in the movie where they all gather around the fire to bring Splinter to them mentally. So yeah, they used the cartoon images instead of movie scenes...

I remember seeing that book in second grade.

I didn't notice it.

Yes! I'm not insane!

Was gonna mention this too, but got a little tied up looking for pics. But it miffed me a bit they cut that out fo the VHS version. Fussy people, they were back then.

In the first film
 

In the first movie there are many mistake:

I can't remeber all.

for example:
-when a turtle is eating pizza, a human hand exits from the turtl hand
-when Raffaello falls in Sewer, he rebounds on his shell (The shell is made with gum?)
-When Leo is in April's flat his katana touches wall, it appears a strange black scrub...

was there a scence where professor perry show a robotic stomach?

They had wanted to make Perry a Utrom in a robot body, but they decided to change it because many viewers would mistake the Utrom for Krang.

That would've been funny though if they did that.

I WIASH he was an Ultrom.

This scene was never cut :D I have it on VHS and I saw it on Televison on 3 different channels and they've all had that part.

you got image of those sences too?

Huh? How so? I had never seen this.

Yeah, I have the VHS and it's not on there...

I got the VHS and have watched it several times. I've never seen the scenes you claim seeing.

I hope there's a TMNT-Special Edition with deleted scenes and commentaries and a better film transer. Face it, the current DVD sucks!

(((Please excuse the quotes within quotes within quotes....)))

Dude, I have the original VHS release of the movie, and I have watched it probably a good fifty times. (At least. Honestly, the thing has a permanent skip in it near the end from over-watching) Those two scenes are definately not in it. I think you musta been dreaming.

On the other hand, in the scene that shows mike fighting blindfolded: Right after Raph 'wakes up', there's a clip that's about a second long that shows LEO blindfolded. I'd never noticed it before, but watch closely (it's thrown in with the clips of Mikey blindfolded) and it's there.

And another odd thing. I had never, before Saturday, ever noticed this, but during and after the two major battles in the movie, you can actually see bruises on the turtles. And a lot of them. I just thought it was bizarre that I had managed to miss this before. :roll: They're only clear as day.

Aaaaaannnnd... despite claims that there is 'no blood' in the movie, it's shown quite clearly twice -- (1) when Splinter gashes Saki's face, and (2) When Saki murders Yoshi -- theres a big bloody gash down Yoshi's chest (It's not real bright or anything, but it's definately there. That's another thing, btw, that I hadn't noticed 'till I watched it Saturday.)

I swear, the first two TMNT movies are the ONLY movies I own that I never get tired of watching. And I notice something new EVERY TIME I watch them!

I love the varoius bruises they get! A lot more interesting than the "invincible" Turtles in the second movie...

Yeah, yeah! I've seen that too, especially at the end of the last fight, and the Turtles are hugging Splinter on the rooftop. So real... why they have to change it for the other movies? *sai*

Which is why, despite the fact that it is a good movie in it's own right, the second movie can never stand up to the first, at least not as far as I'm concerned. :ohwell:

...And what I wanna know is how Donatello can be thrown across a junkyard and fall through a roof without a bruise (or a concussion, for that matter) to show for it. Geez. I mean, they didn't have to be over-gory (*cough*some anime*cough*), but they could have been realistic, at least. Heck, even Karate Kid showed fight damage. :roll:

Of cousre the absence of bruises was also part of the heavy "Kiddification".

did they change some part on the garbags truck sences when TMNT came on tv?

Oh, and incidentally, I was surfin' the web and thought I'd throw this out for ya'll. It's what the official site has to say about the deleted final scene:

"In the film's finale (which was edited out of the final release) April and Danny are in a publisher's office showing sketches of Splinter and the Turtles, trying to sell the idea of the Turtles' adventure as the basis for a comic book.

Over the publisher's shoulder, the TMNT look on from their vantage point -- stuck on the outside window of a skyscraper high above the New York street. When the publisher rejects the idea as being too 'far-fetched,' we see our four giant green heroes react with exasperation.

Unable to restrain himself, Michaelangelo slaps his forhead -- which makes him lose his grip and fall.

However, in the picture's final shot we see a close-up of the ledge one floor below the other Turtles, where two big green hands hang on as Michaelangelo slowly pulls himself up into camera frame, cradles his chin, then turns and -- looking directly into the camera -- he forms the words 'far-fetched?'
