Will Leonardo stab somebody? Will Raph?
 

We've all seen how it goes in past iterations - Leo has swords, and Raph, sais, but neither of them were ever given any clearance to use them (in the cartoons), cause lets face it, that would end pretty violently. (unless they are robots, and nobody really cares if a robot gets cut in half - a human moreso)

Given the tone of the new film (the little we have seen), do you guys think that they'll finally put their weaponry to use? Do you even want to see that?

I for one, love the whole thing Raph does in the new Nick show, where he uses the prongs of the sai to trap an opponents arm and ultimately flip them, and considering his brawler nature in this film, seems like something that would be in line with his character.

As for Leo, while I don't really want him making a bloody mess of people, not my thing; but I would love to see some slo-mo shots of him precision cutting past and through the foot's armor to expose weak points that he eventually kicks in. precision cutting to me shows more skill than brawn.

I can see it happening but extremely fast during a fight scene.

Stabbing isn't exactly the right way to use a Sai, but I wouldn't hold it against the scrip writer to not know that since most incarnations handles the Sai as a stiletto rather then an actual Sai, and Hulkael certainly looks strong enough to pierce skin, tissue, muscle and bone with just a Sai prong...

I'm sure we'll see Leo's sword get contact with the Foot, but not showing any visible cuts and they fall in such a manner the wounds won't show up directly on the screen. Similar to recent Marvel movies. There is wounds and lethal contact, but the camera don't dwell in the sight too much.

I don't know about stabbing anyone I just hope he uses them period.

I expect if they do injure/kill any of the foot military it be on the scale like for example when Wolverine killing enemys in X-Men films and the 2 Wolverine films. Also I expect it be very quick or off screen.

Isn't there a rumor that one of the Foot has to commit seppukku in front of Shredder?

Yeah, but apparently the da guy who leaks it also said his scene was cut from the movie. So who knows.

Yes, but it wasn't confirmed. If it does happen, it'll probably be off-screen.

If Shredder is making him do it, he must be taking it out on a failure like Tatsu did in the original.

Maybe he throws a sword in front of the kneeling soldier and it's just implied that he does it.

Yeah, that's probably how it'll be done. (if it's done)

It's more likely that some one is going to explode.

He commits sepuku with a grenade

I'd much rather see Mikey chuck a fool in the jaw, but that's even less likely...

There's a little bit of cutting and Foot guys who "probably" die.

Considering how hard they are marketing it on Nick
 

I doubt it gets too violent.

not to get off topic..but i think id rather be cut or stabbed by leo or raph then hit in the face by mike or don

Really.

I knew it.

Honestly, I don't think a Seppuku scene would have been appropriate in this movie. Maybe if the movie was a smarter movie, maybe they would have handled a Seppuku scene properly.

There's no way they'd have a ritualistic suicide moment in a movie with Nickelodeon plastered all over the beginning of the teaser and probably future trailers.

Off screen OR on.

From this movie, I'd expect a Seppukui ritual with guns and shredder clawing the solider.

Nothing too extreme. Maybe Sachs will get a papercut while filling out paperwork.... but that's about the only blood we're gonna get to see.

It's promising. I assume they can have as much violence as the X-Men movies, and even Transformers had some quick but some gruesome deaths (Skorpinok stabbed right through that soldiers torso with his tail in plain view. It was fast, but it was there!)

And, I can always go back to my LOTR, which have beautiful and violent fight scenes.

Because Donnie and Mike have the weapons that cause blunt force trauma rather than lacerations, I think it's reason they featured more readily as making actual contact with any enemies.

I would love to see a foot take a chuck to the head, but more than that, I wanna see Mikey get into a battle with a 'fellow chucker' again.

Michael Bay style!

In the nick episode Fungus Humongous there's a very, very brief moment where Leo glances at his katana while having been convinced that he failed his brothers. I think they'd get away with a guy about to stab himself in the gut before the camera cuts away in a PG-13/12-A film. Remember Joker and his pencil trick? That was in a PG-13 film too.

If they do it, it'll probably be like the pool stick scene. Where you know they are going to fight until the death.

Foot: What is my punishment?

*Shredder throws the sword to the kneeling Foot member, it's blade lighting up, shooting sparks and sliding on the concrete floor, stopping just before the knees.

*Foot Soldier looks up at Shredder with a face of death.

I doubt they explain seppukku, just a bone toss that'll probably be in the deleted scenes.

I have no problem with them using deadly force as needed. In the comics, the early ones, at least, they had no problem taking out enemies. Now, considering what audience this movie is reaching for, which is as wide of one as possible, I doubt we'll see any graphic violence. I'm hoping it isn't too cartoony or silly, but we'll have to see.

With the way they were tossing Foot around like rag-dolls, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of them get skewered. Or beat to death. Even the original movie had one Foot get electrocuted! Pretty sure he didn't survive that. And then there were the ones who were unconscious when the building went up in flames. We never saw any of them being dragged out. You think Tatsu cared if they lived? I see this one doing something similar.

so i was thinking about this and i dont think Leo would stab someone...despite him having one of the most dangerous weapons of the group that isnt his nature

Raph on the other hand

Stab someone, no, that's not in Leo's nature at all. He just slices your head clean off! He's more graceful like that, you know!:D

haha...hey you gotta give the guy credit..he does it pretty effortlessly

Hey, Leo is my second favorite because of that! Raph gets an edge because of his personality and the whole antihero/rebel thing he's got going. Leo is great, but he's sometimes way too much of a stiff and way too much by the book.

And it's that character I hope they carry I'm his film...that badass hero shot of him landing on the ledge, swords drawn...i nearly lost it, I thought it looked so cool.

I can definitely see him 'gracefully' cutting through guys with such precision they don't even know they've been cut until the fight is over. Anime-esque, I know, but still pretty darn cool to think about.

hey its not farfetched i mean TECHNICALLY they would be raised in japanese culture

and really In transformer i know they are robots and all but they pretty much rip them to shredds and in the 3rd movie they use red fluid that spatters so i could see some BA stuff happening in this movie i mean nothing like Ninja assassin or 300 but some cool stuff

true, but some of the swordplay we see in anime is SO over the top its borderline ridiculous IMO - stuff like Martial Arts tricking im okay seeing in this film because high level acrobatics like that is possible in real life...

when it comes to swordplay, I always go with my go-to selection, Samurai Champloo...unorthodox (especially Mugen) but not out of the realm of possibility

well i dont think we will see blood in TMNT, Parents had issue in 1990 with weapons imagine that bucket of worms today

Transformers like you said have the advantage of being Robots...The red Goop that represents blood could be easily played off as Oil

i mean the darkest killing thing wise we see in TF3 is people getting disintegrated

yeah i was kind of surprised about that truthfully.

Well, if it's PG-13, they really can't complain too much.

I was thinking, another movie to look back to that had some edgy scenes would be the Star Wars movies. In TPM, we do see Qui Gon get stabbed in the chest and Obi Wan slices Darth Maul right in half. And in Revenge of the Sith, there is Yoda who cuts two storm troopers heads clean off. What with this movie having the foot soldiers with full masks on, I can see Leo doing something similar.
