Hmmm it always strikes me as weird and puzzling that there are actually fans who love the turtles as much as us mid 20's people who are too young to have seen the turtles in 1990. But i guess that just shows the true awesomeness of the property as compared to say power rangers...
anyway I was not there on opening night for the 1990 film....I actually saw it a week early at a special sneak preview for what i believe was the fan club. I went to meet Raph at some furniture store (it was a guy dressed up in a suit. Yeah i don't know why he was at the furniture store either). But we went and my mom entered me in a drawing for tickets to the advanced screening and i actually won! It was awesome. Everyone got animal crackers shaped like the turtles and the box was shaped like the turtle van. And then just like someone earlier said they were also handing out pizza. Before the movie there were alot of games and prizes and raffles and such in the theatre....I didn't win anything
I also saw secret of the ooze on opening day and turtles 3 on opening day and TMNT at the midnight premiere. I also saw the turtles on the coming out of their shells tour and almost went and saw them when they were on oprah.
sweet!!!
