Not really, very few movies don't do any profit. The third one clearly shows, that general audience was disapointed at TMNT 2.

On the subject of DVD special editions as a whole, I don't mind a few extra features here and there (not to say the TMNT DVD out now satisfies me), but it's got features up the wazoo like that 4-disc edition of Fellowship, then I consider that overkill.

Well the first 2 discs are just the movie with extra scenes but the other 2 are purely special features.

Any extra in TMNT product is a plus.

Keno isn't that bad... it's Vanilla Ice that hurts in that movie (Though Ice was great in "The New Guy").

I own all three and I don't think you could come up with much for all three movies as far as special features. It would be best to release only the first one with a 2 or 3 disc set. 2 most probable.

Features I'd include:
- Wide Screen and Full Screen
- Remasted sound and video (the first DVD release is pretty nice though)
- English, Spanish, French, and Japanese (if it ever come out in Japan?)
- Deleted Scenes (the comic book clip would have be great!)
- Director Commentary
- Actor Commentary
- "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mania" - a feature on the success of TMNT in the past and today
- Bonus episode of the new TMNT series (the first episode)
- The original Mirage TMNT Vol 1 comic (web comic style)
- Original Trailers
- Character analysis on all four TMNT (possibly more characters)
- Cast info (where they are today)
- Interiew with Peter Laird (possibly also with Kevin Eastman)

and possibly some other stuff...

Well the DVD's are sold at very cheap price, so that partially explains the few Extras. But it is the directors cut I would want to see. Might be just a dream tough.

But the only tmnt movie dvd I want is the first one, I liked the second movie when it came out, but after watching it as I got older, I realized the first when was way better and I hated that pizza delivery guy in part two, he was just annoying. He pissed me off at the end when he thought he could take on the Shredder. And I would have liked to see Casey Jones in the second movie.

I really want to get the first one on dvd, but I am just afraid if I get it there will be an annoucement on a special edition tmnt dvd coming soon.

It happened to me when I bought the first X-Men movie dvd and then last month X-Men 1.5 was released on dvd with more special features. Samething with Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, I bought that when it first came out and now they released an Uncut version of it.

But when Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Rings came out on dvd and during that same time there was news that a special edition would come out a few months after so I waited for the special edition one instead.

So it wasn't until months after I bought the X-Men and Batman Beyond: ROTJ dvd that I heard a new special edition dvd would come out. I hate when that happens, but I never went back to buy the new ones since I don't want two copies of the same movies.

I'm still deciding on whether or not to buy the TMNT movie dvd.
The price for each of the TMNT movies is $10 or less, and you still don't know if you should get them or not?

Why don't you like the new name?
This should clear up some things. I pulled this off of mikeystmnt.com.....

Technical Information: Michaelangelo was technically, the first "ninja turtle" to be created. The first sketch, drawn by Kevin Eastman, was of a turtle wearing a bandanna with a pair of nunchukus strapped to his arms.

Also, there has been some question on the spelling of Michaelangelo. You will notice now that the official spelling of the name is Michelangelo as in the Renaissance painter/sculptor. However, when the characters were created almost 20 years ago, it was accidentally misspelled as Michaelangelo. The error lead to nearly 2 decades of the name being spelled with the "A." When the turtles' popularity was resurrected in 2001, Peter Laird renamed Michelangelo to the correct spelling.

Believe me, guys, it's not a serious complaint. The "Michaelangelo" Defense League isn't picketing of boycotting anything, they're just being a bit silly. Just like how I'm gonna wear a baby blue ribbon in a braid if I ever meet Laird. It's not like they're pressing it on you. It's like FOGU... only less scary.

Sure, I'm not saying they should change it back now, but I'm still gonna spell it Michaelangelo.

BTW, this isn't the topic of the thread.

You might be right.... Well we all want a special edition DVD, but it probably depends on New Line cinema. If the company thinks they can make considerable profit, they will produce the DVD.
