Classic Episode Talk: Hot Rodding Teenagers
 

Seeing as how it's a new week, I thought I'd get the ball rolling with this episode.

I loved every minute of this ep! From the moment Krang started rambling on about his body to when Leo sliced the Stone Warrior Weather Maker, it was all good!

Yeah, this was always one of my favorites. My mom is a librarian and they had a few TMNT videos(about 20 maybe???) and they had this one so I was always watching it.

Does everybody know what time it is?????

No, not 'Tool Time' :roll:

SOUND CLIP TIME!!!!!

classic ep. one of my favs. always wanted that neutrinos car.

Where'd my avatar go?

Great ep. I especially liked the Turtle van vs. the Technorover fight. It was one of my favorite TMNT fights and it still is today.

this the one episode I watched the most! it was just weird but in a really good way

Yeah, that's where Raph used the line I have here on my signature!

The weathermaker was cool. Would be fun to set up one of those and watch a city go nuts.

Great episode, of course the whole mini-series consisted of the best episodes in the series. By the was now that were mentioning these episodes, I was wondering this is true or not. I remember that the first and I think only time I ever saw the mini-series altogether was when I got my mother to go rent it for me. It was at Video One which was around the time before Blockbuster became big. Anyway the reason I did this was because I could never saw them show the other 3 episodes( A Thing About Rats, Hot Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X, Shredder and Splintered ).

I know they showed them when they premiered and I missed it at that time and started watching it a little after that. But everytime I saw them show Turtle Tracks and Enter the Shredder they skipped the others. The only time I saw them show the other three was when they showed reruns on on a different network way later on. So can anyone back me up on this or was I just losing my mind.

*bangs head on the wall*

I LOVE THIS EPISODE!

It was in fact the first TMNT episode I ever owned (and I still do own it). I've watched it too many times to count.

It had so many great lines!

Raphael: Eat hot lead turkey's!!! (shooting out of the turtle van)

Raphael: Great job Leonardo, most people only complain about the weather. You actually did something about it. (after Leo slicer the weather machine)

Donatello: Hey watch it! You're ruining my finish. (as he's being scraped up against a wall)

Nutrino: Bug off squares!

Nutrino: We thought this was the planet of the squares man...

Trag: How do you engage the hyperdrive on this thing? (while in a regualr truck)

(not perfectly accurate)
Leonardo: We must constrian the pilot and force him to land.
Mike: Yeah, but with what?
Leo: With my elbow pad!
(Leo grabs the nutrino and Mike tries to control the car)
Mike: We're crashing!
Leo: *sarcastically* Pull the stick up Michaelangelo

(not completely accurate)
Mike: Uh oh, the boys in blue
Raph: Mwa, somebody
April: Shouldn't they be on our side?
Mike: Nah, people don't know a thing when it comes to turtles...
April: Ahem...
Mike: Present company excempted (or was it accepted)

Krang: They're a threat to everything we stand for, and what's worse... they encourage people to have FUN!

Raph: You got any weapons on those hot rods?
Nutrino: Of course, they're required by law
(that one just cracks me up for some reason)

Trag: (while setting the weather machine) Hmm... clowdy, mild showers, ah here we go TOTAL CHAOS!

Just to name a few...

Dask: Split, squares!Zak: Uh-oh, cats and kittens! You dig what I dig?
Dask: Don't those squares know you're on their side?
Michelangelo: Ah, humans don't know anything when it comes to turtles.
April: (clearing throat) Ah-ah-HEM!
Michelangelo: (sheepishly) Uhhh, present company accepted!See my first reply to this thread :roll:General Traag: Fair with high clouds....mild showers...AHA! TOTAL CHAOS!!!!!

And you said you've seen that episode more times than you can cound :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

(The Turtles are pushing the soon-to-be Turtle van up the stairs.)
Mike: (grunting) "Couldn't we maybe've taken the elevator?"
Don: (grunting)"It wouldn't fit in the elevator!"
Raph: (grunting) "Shut up and push!"

(Donatello is creating the Turtle Van.)
Don: "I sure hope all this is worth it."
Leo: "It will be, when we hunt the Shredder down."
Don: "But why do we have to do it? It's the humans' problem!"
April: "He has it in for you guys, too, or have you forgotten?"
Don: "But us...TURTLES... outcasts of society! Why do we have to stand alone against the forces of evil?"
Mike: "Face it, man, it's the only job we're qualified for.
Don: "Oh yeah, you're right. Well, back to work!"

What was the episode titled a different way or do you prefer Shredder & Splintered.

I may be wrong but I believe the title of the episode is Shredder GETS Splintered

You're both wrong.

The name of the episode is "The Shredder Is Splintered". Don't correct me by saying, "But it says Shredder & Splintered on the official site!", because even the official site has its errors.

Besides, "Shredder and Splintered" sounds like bad English, because it is.

Just to set the record straight, the episode itself did infact say "Shredder & Splintered" in the title, while the coloring book had it written as "Shredder Gets Splintered" and the home video calls it "Shredder Is Splintered".

DANG I've been PWNED. I guess I'll have to watch it some more! Tell me did you do that from memory or did you watch the video just so you could correct me.

I was pretty sure that they said "bug off squares" somewhere.

I loved Don's speech as well. Brilliant delivery. The elevator bit was also grand. This has got to be one of my favorite episodes of all time.

Yeah well, somebody had to say that quote :D
