Keno and Professor Perry?
 

What did/do you guys think of these characters from TMNT2?

I've always liked Prof. Perry just fine and thought that he served a good purpose, he had a point, his interaction with the TMNTs was good, etc...

But I've never liked Keno. I can't really put my finger on why, the kid just bugs me. Was there any real reason for him to suddenly become best buddy to the turtles and help them out? I guess he had a point in that he found out where the Foot were but I bet the TMNTs could've done that on their own. Keno just seemed very contrived to me.

Thoughts?

I liked Prof. Perry. He had a purpose in the film, and he was a likeable character overall.

Keno, well, I never understood why they didn't just use Casey? He was already established & he's an infinetly better character then Keno could ever dream of being. I agree with you that Keno was contrived.

That might be the vodka talking, but I've read somewhere that Prof. Jordan Perry was supposed to be an Utrom.

No, I remember reading that before too... On here, I do believe...

-->> Perry was supposed to be an Utrom.. yes.

Keno was cool.. but i also am an Ernie Reyes Jr. fan.. :sick: :D

Keno rocks. Ernie Reyes Jr. is infinitely excellent.

I hate them both.

Surf Ninjas rocked!

MOTO-SUUUUUURF!!!! 8)

Interesting. When/where did this rumour spring up? First I've heard of it...

That would have made the movie a lot more interesting.

The Prof. Perry being an Utrom thing was supposedly thrown around in the very early scripting stages. But for some reason, it was taken out (some say that kids would've been too confused.)

:lol: Jeez, you know, I just saw this movie the other day, for the first time in YEARS... :)

Perry was supposed to be revealed as a Utrom, indeed, but the scene WAS in the final draft of the script

Ernie Reyes Jr did the stuntwork for Donatello in the first movie.
I liked them both too.

He was Donatello whenever he fought

And for that, he's ok in my book! :wink: :)

Ernie Reyes Jr is cool with me too, he's really talented. It's just the character, Keno, that I don't like. [/quote]

I like Keno. Ernie Reyes, Jr is gorgeous. *points to sig* Hee. :P

I did not mind both, But I too wondered why they did not have Casey in the 2nd. His role in the 3rd was crappy.

IT was neat having a pizza delivery man with martial arts skills in the 2nd. HE was considered a valluable ally. It was funyn when jordan joined the crowd when they raised their fists rooting for the turtles in the ninja rap.

Professor Perry and Keno
 

As you can tell from my avatar,signature,and username,Perry is one of my favorite characters from TMNT 2. It would've been odd to see him as a Utrom. I liked how he and Don connected on so much due to their intelligence,and I liked how he helped the turtles out although Shredder had him make Tokka and Rahzar{speaking of which,am I the only one annoyed by how Rahzar has two different pronunciations in the film? 99% of the characters say "Ray-zar"...kinda like saying "Razor",but April calls him RAH-Zar. I don't know why,that always bugged me}.


As far as Keno goes,I undertsand why he was included in the film,as I've heard parents complained that Casey was "too violent" in TMNT 1.
Ernie Reyes doing Donnie's TMNT 1 stunts is pretty cool,news to me.

The Keno character itself is kinda annoying but Reyes,Jr. is great at martial arts. He's been in some good stuff,like Surf Ninjas,and more recently as one of The Rock's adversaries in The Rundown.
