Does anyone know why Casey wasn't in TMNT 2?
 

I know that Keno sort of "replaced" him,but I would've like his sarcastic humor to be in TMNT 2. He was in TMNT 3,but I never understood that whole
"Whit is Casey's ancestor" thing. Kinda corny. I've got one more question-why is April played by a different actress in TMNT 2 and 3 than in TMNT 1?
Was Judith Hoag not interested in TMNT 2? I'd be interested to know why TMNT 2's cast was slighly different.

Judith Hoag said that he wasn't quite happy ewith outcome of the first movie... And I think Elias Koteas didn't want to do TMNT 2 either.

From what I understand, they thought the Casey Jones character was deemed too scary. It was reported that he reminded people too much of Jason from Friday the 13th.

Judith Hoag was a good actor and played a good April. The other April I didn't mind I guess, but now that I think about it, some continuity with actors would have been nice. Yeah, Casey would probably have made good in Keno's role...(no diss to Keno's actor, he was good).

Casey scary? I never saw the Friday the 13th movie, but please...I thought he was if anything funny. A perfect rival for Raph.

casey and raph were more like friends than rivals

mabe at first they clashed abit but they made a good team

i agree with japheal. i mean, the whole reason tmnt 2 was the way it was, was b/c of parents bitching about the first one being to violent and what-not. and casey is the most violent character there is, more so than raph if ya ask me.

c'mon, the guy likes to beat the living hell out of purse-stealers with a hockey stick! if they got rid of the turtle's weapons, of course they are just gonna get rid of casey altogether.

when they brought him back in the third one, he was such a tool. all cleaned up and happy. bleh!

Casey was really lame in TMNT 3, such a great character wasted on such a small part.

Come on, everybody likes Casey Jones. He's the coolest TMNT character that isn't a mutant! And he's really cool in the new 'toon, good to see he's playing a larger part.

In fact, I was disscussing with another TMNT fan the other day just how incredibly cool Casey is. Then we complined that he wasn't in the old cartoon enough, which he wasn't, only three eps I can remeber...

Thanks,guys/ Yeah,I did notice that the Turtles are "weaponsless" in TMNT 2 for the most part{except the opening scene}. :lol: Casey was a "tool" in TMNT 3! He did almost nothing of note whatsoever! I mean,c'mon! They brought Tastu back,and he remained almost the same. While we're on the subject of "axed" characters,having Shredder die in TMNT 2 kinda killed TMNT 3 for me. I knew from minute 1 that he would be non-existent{except maybe as a ghost}. But then came that whole "Back To The Future" plot :-? :x Whoever thought of that idea totally missed the point.
Oh well. Here's to hoping for a TMNT 4! :tsmile:

Have you seen the actor that played Casey now? He has a tremendously large forehead due to his receding hairline! :lol:

lol

If that is true, The parents are to blame for that to.

Yeah the parents made TMNT 2 into a more cartoony movie than TMNT 1 was, which bugs me a bit. Also Shredder was played by somebody else too

I liked all 3 tmnt movies no matter how they changed them because of stupid parents. Although, tmnt 1 will always be my favorite. But I really think they went a little overboard saying that the tmnt watched too much tv in the 3rd movie. Michelangelo: "Clint.... Eastwood?" -TMNT 3

I thought Don's baseball and pinball game references were great though.

the time travel idea is actually related to the original comic book. they travel in time in a number of issues. that basics of the plot didnt bother, just the horrible execution of the idea....

Yhea, If well executed it could have been great! They should have had Renet and perhaps the ancestors of what would become the foot, and also (this would've been realy cool) a feudal Japan version of the Shredder.

And oh, It would be inspired by the Seven Samurai, with the Foot and Shredder substituting the bandits, and the four Turtles, April, Casey, and Renet substituting for the samurai.

Man, I wish I could go back in time and fix TMNT 3.

Yeah,a Feudal Japan Shredder would've OWNED. :o A different guy played Shredder in TMNT 2? They looked alike,same voice?

I guess that Shredder's voice wasn't that hard to imitate.

- Corporate Raiders From Dimention X

- Leonardo Cuts Loose

- Cyber Turtles

That makes at least 4 :P :P :P
