TMNT is cooler than MOTU 02-09-2003 11:23 PM

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!!! :)

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...

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:

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.

Machias Banshee 02-10-2003 12:25 PM

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

Dontebell 02-10-2003 01:03 PM

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

Donatello02 02-10-2003 07:48 PM

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.

Yes, both of these scenes are actually in the TMNT Movie Graphic Novel. I really hope they release a special edition DVD some day, because those are some cool scenes.

was there any deleted scenes to TMNT2?

raphael90 02-11-2003 10:21 AM

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.

HorseTechie 02-11-2003 11:39 AM

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.

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.
