I wouldn't have done it to get details about this film. I know all about the wavers and forms you gotta sign. Not to mention, they rarely give any infomation about the film other than basics of that particular scene nor where it even goes in the edit.

Correct-a-mondo! I thought being in a Catholic school uniform in a Ninja Turtles movie would be insanely funny. Seriously, why is there going to be a scene with Catholic school girls? Better yet, attractive school girls? It would give me a real reason to buy the DVD when this out-of-control movie comes out.

What was your first clue? The entire franchise has been one mega toy ad since the original cartoon.

And god knows what else. Telling you, if they fail to include ChapStick or a brand of tissues as promo stuff - not necessarily seen in movie however - I will be annoyed. Come on, after all the lip and nostril trauma last time, they just gotta do it.

Though I do kinda hope Leo's soda comes back. Oh, and free tickets again.

I will die laughing though if Victoria's Secret does a TMNT line... Prob be about as comfortable as a Turtle in a thong though, while fighting bad guys. Ouchie.

No. Not really. Other than the Turtles, no. Not really.

The first movie was not a giant toy commercial.

I'm hoping the Turtles are shrunken down a bit for this movie. Personally I'd love to see the Neutrinos show up in this, even if it were a short scene in the end being used as a sequel hook, ultimately tying into Dimension X, Krang and some blasted Triceratons (I one day hope that giant, bipedal Triceratops with big guns get a chance to shine on the big screen).

First movie didn't even have toys. Posters, shirts, and trading cards for days, yeah, but no actual toys. The movie was just a movie, with all the ancillary tie-in stuff that comes with any movie. But yeah, definitely not a toy commercial.

Even the third one wasn't. Second one, maybe, yeah. Second one was pretty much the peak of TMNT being prostituted in general. But yeah, no, first and third movies had nothing to do with selling toys.

It's kinda like how people who don't know better lazily say He-Man was a toy commercial when 98% of the toys never made it into the show and the show itself used the same 5 characters in every single episode. It made you aware of the brand and in turn want to buy the toys, yeah, but it didn't ever explicitly show you something and say "HERE, go buy this!" It's a subtle but important distinction.

Exactly.

These new movies are just blatant about it.

I own several toys for the 1990 movie that would disagree with y'all. Ah well. They were probably released later on anyway.

To be fair, TMNT3 did have these guys (Raph pictured on my desk at work):



But even for that movie, the toys seemed like an afterthought: something to capitalize off the movie, rather than the movie being something created explicitly, solely as a toy commercial. They didn't have a bunch of vehicles/objects awkwardly jammed into the thing, blatantly created specifically to sell toys. Even the characters/designs from that movie weren't especially toy-friendly - "April in a kimono" isn't even something they'd produce these days.

There's nothing wrong with merchandising or making toys off of movies... so long as they actually make a movie. Not a toy commercial. An actual story with legitimate creative value.

One, I want to know if that plate is legit licensed or a fake. Two, if only they had to go through inspection the way we do in my state at our DMV that would be a hoot to see it there.
