How big of a role will Karai have?

I don't think it will be very large, it's possible she'll just be in Sachs hideout for one scene and then commanding the foot in the subway scene. It's possible she will die too.

We haven't seen much of her in the trailers, so I'm guessing we won't see a lot of her in the film. I'm a big fan of Karai, so I'm hoping I'm wrong, or that things develop in this first film in a way which lead her to getting a bigger role in the sequel.

Well, if she gets more lines in than Superman did in Man of Steel, I'll be happy.

Karai and Taylor are the only ones we have not seen in released images or trailers in character. That being said I think she would take the role Tatsu held for the first two films, but how many scenes will that mean?

Now that Oroku Saki has been revealed (or so we believe, anyway), her inclusion makes a lot more sense. I imagine she'll be Sach's tie to Saki, in that she introduces them or something like that. Perhaps Saki sends her out to watch Sach's men & make sure he doesn't double cross him. I'm sure she'll be there as more than just added muscle, though I can't say I expect her to have much screen time despite that.

I hope there's enough screen time for Karai to have a big fight with Leonardo, Those two have an interesting dynamic when they fight each other.

Taylor?

i wouldn't expect that in this one..you have to establish the rivalry other wise its just some random fight no different from the others

and depending time putting that, along with everything else in one film would take away from some sort of story

Based on what you hear in the trailer, The Turtles may have encountered the Foot Clan before, When you hear Donnie monitoring the surveillance video and saying. "Surveillance is showing heavy foot clan activity."

if that even is donnie...we honestly wont know till we see the movie and like someone said before for the saki/eric line, that foot line could be from anywhere in the movie just put over that one scene in the trailer for effect

and even then do you want to go into a film where details are already established and we never get to see certain things grow and all we get is SFX and action?

Taylor is the character played by Abby Elliott. She is April's roommate and said to be Irma by another name. This character like Karai has yet to appear in anything more than the actors behind the scenes photos.

Karai is in at least 2 trailers & some set photos, where have you been?

it's Jeremy Howard's voice so it's Donnie' as for when it takes place, when would they be monitoring the for the foot and their activity till maybe the very end maybe,

And yes that would be find just because thing are preestablished doesn't mean they still can't have a plot jus mean time does have to be taken to fully explain everything, it like batman we know who he is and why he's there no need t to keep explaining.

She is in the most recent trailer u you see a quick shoot of her
Exactly

I'd like there to be a bit of Karai; not gonna lie, I think the pink in her hair is a cute and interesting touch - it's got me curious about what she'll be like in this version.

I'm not getting my hopes up too much for seeing a lot of her, though. :ohwell:

Hope she is more the anti hero or anti villain.

oddly enough, she was featured, however briefly, twice in the first trailer, and again in the latest one.

now I am aware that she is getting tossed around during those scenes, but Im hoping that means she takes a front seat during the action sequences against the foot.

The actress who plays her, keep posting things about the film on her instagram/twitter, so Im really hoping she plays more than a bit part. Otherwise why boast so much about a role in which you are barely seen? right?

Exactly

Shes likely to be in the Big down hill snow chase, shes involved with the turtles capture, shes in the subway fight, likey shes in more, I'm betting her part is pretty substantial

im willing to be she is the 'voice' of the Foot, and the one who Shredder scolds when they fail to meet his expectations.

This. She'll be the new Tatsu.... because a 15 foot tall robotic Shredder (likely with Krang in his belly or head) can't be the kind of Shredder that does much of anything but look menacing and lunge around like a Transformer.

I'm sure she will be the 2nd in command, And the one who was leading the Foot Soldiers when they attacked and took hostages at the Subway.

depends on what you mean by second IM pretty sure Eric is taking orders from Oroku and Karai is talk orders from both is my theory

i still stand by my word that Karai wont have a major role outside name and look


and it she is a huge established character than this movie will end up like revenge of the fallen


how many main characters did that film have that they had to introduce...what do you think nothing happens for almost 90 minutes

I hope there's Karai and Leo "romantic comedy" (as Raph puts it) scenes. :tlol: :tlove:

Still don't know if saki is in the movie. For all we know Sachs could be talking to Baxter. For all we know saki might not do much more than bark orders and Sachs will be wearing the shredcepticon armor.

I am curious about Taylor. With all the 80s references I wonder why not just call her Irma. Even if she's someone completely different looking I still wouldn't put it past them to name her Irma anyway. Weird.

Really?

I bet you ten grains of nothing that Karai will have:

3-7 speaking lines

15 total minutes on screen

1-2 fight scenes

I'd imagine that she'll have a bigger role in the sequel.

If she isn't killed. I think she'll be killed though.

Agree with this. Karai will probably have a supportive role in the first film being the second-in-command, and after the Shredder is temporary defeated for the end of the first film, her role will much more prominent/crucial in the sequel. Kind of similar with Tatsu's role in the 1990s movie trilogy, but she'll have a bigger role considering how much more popular she is in the franchise, but yet also depending on how defeated Shredder is in the first film.

Tansu, oh how I await his appearance in another movie, tv show, or something at least! Keno as well! Where are they?

Just thought I'd share this, but Karai is in the 2nd trailer in the scene where the turtles are captured, though you have to look at it cap by cap to catch her. Anyone else see this?

Shes in the left corner if you can't find her.

I see her. Thanks, that's pretty cool.

also notice the Foot with nunchaku just saying

Prove it. I see no such thing.

top left hand corner, right above Donnie's shoulder.

the chucks themselves are longer than the standard length, its not the clearest, but the position of his hands, can only indicate two weapon types, either:

- eskrima sticks (doble baston) OR
- 'chucks

...and yes, I know my s***, I've studied several styles of martial arts since I was a child. I blame the Turtles for my early fixation/obsession. (this last comment wasnt directed at you POWDER, but I've seen people on this board be dismissive when others start talking Martial Arts, because they supposedly dont know what they are talking about - but its a hard thing to prove over a forum, ya know?) :lol:

They're definitely batons, not chucks.

even better IMO. Kevin Eastman kept talking about RAID inspired fight scenes, and the RAID was heavy with Silat, and Eskrima based open hand, and weapon techniques.

Thanks for posting the pic, Collector - cool to see Karai there for the capture. Guess she was itching for some payback after they whup her butt in the subway scene, eh?

I hope she has a decent role. Out of all the turtle villains, Karai is one of my favourites :)

Damn, the turtles are huuuuuuuge!

I've got a feeling that the Foot Soldier is just holding Mikey's chucks or something. :P
