Director's Cut of TMNT (1990)?
 

http://the-5th-turtle.blogspot.com/2...ake-on-me.html

Take a look at what's going down over at The 5th Turtle! Apparently, the director of the first TMNT movie is interested in doing a director's cut with special features and using lost footage that he has personal copies of for the DVD!

Of course, this isn't set-in-stone just yet. Somehow, this feels kind of like a "test the waters" sort of deal. So, if you're interested in seeing this, you should definitely head over there and voice your opinion on a Special Edition of the first TMNT movie. Mayhaps a large enough response will get word to WB about getting this out on the shelves for us!

YES YES YES YES! THIS IS LONG OVER DUE, like many of my library books..:fshifty:

Agreed! Spread the word! Comment on T5T, post in forums, blog it, and all kinds of other stuff. Advertise the need for this out the shell!

You've never been to a library :-P

Seriously though, this is a really exciting proposition.

This is awesome news :D !!

I go every week! I just happen to rent DVD's of shows from other countries.:lol:

DO IT DO IT DO IT... YOU KNOW YOU WANNA DO IT!!!:lol::lol::D:lol::lol::D:D

Hey... they missed the boat the first time by not releasing it to hype up the TMNT film, I really hope this time we see something. Please Warners... you owe this to us. Director's cut special editions of movies that deserve it Not Big Mama's House 4 or something to promote a terrible sequal to a movie that shouldn't have been made in the first place.

DIRECTORS CUT TMNT 1 IN 2009!!!!

Yeah! They watched my Youtube video....wait no they didn't....my bad.

URL please?

It's in responce to a video made by fellow 'Dromer, raphroehler2004:

YES!!!! YES!!!! It's been time!

Yes. Its about time. Love it. And the suction cup alternate ending is probably the one they're talking about.

Tons of people my age really enjoy the live action movies, its not just a fandom thing. I was indeed surprised that the movies were not released last year with the movie..


Besides doesn't the first movie have a glitch? There is one part in the movie where it seems like it stopped, at first I thought it was the dvd but I exchanged it and it had the same problem so it appears to be a problem in the disc. Would like to see special editions of the other two as well.

I was waiting to see if they'd release special editions around the time the newer movie was coming out, but they never did. We need SE of the whole trilogy, but this is a great first step!

I want i want i want i want i want i want i want i want i want i want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude! this is the happiest news I have ever heard! :D

The first live action movie still stands as one of my favourite movies ever, and easily one of the best comic book movies of all time. I think with the 25th Anniversary happening next year, WB would be stupid to ignore something like this! This HAS to happen! It'd be really cool to see some extras talking about the comic books as well as the films. Kind of a comparative retrospective, with interviews with everyone over at Mirage! That would be cool!

Yeah, this is an opportunity that need not be passed up. Too bad that the ball was dropped on the Star Wars 30th Anniversary. It was so underwhelming. We might have this TMNT Special Edition (and I hope LOADS of features) to make up for that.

I don't see it happening...25th anniversary or not, I'm 100% certain this'll never happen cause the higher ups at that studio just...don't...care.

If I sound negative, I'm sorry...you can just call me the name that rhymes with lasso. But I've been wanting this for so long, and burned too many times, that I'm pretty much set in it never coming to be.

I know this is about 'first steps' and what have ya...but again I've just been burned too many times and now I'm completely cynical on this whole subject. If I gotta be, so be it.

And online petitions never work, blogging never works...nothing of that kind has ever worked. The studio probably doesn't even remember the first film, and for it being a $135 million blockbuster (in 1990 dollars at that) it would be a shoo-in in sales. Lion's Gate did a 2 disc for Monster Squad (a flick that wasn't even a hit back in the day, but it's still a good flick) and did that one justice, yet the studios can't think through their pea-brains that a movie that was A). A blockbuster success and the most successful independent film at the tiem and B.) A cultural film (aka the general audience still remembers it) would make the moo-lah for them on DVD.
