Casey Jones fan film

[Jester]

It's serial killer and did Casey really kill that many people in the fan film?

[Mr.Turtle]

I just now discovered this lengthy interview with Polaris Banks on the film:

He talks quite a bit about his inspiration from the first movie and the Mirage comics and his justification for making Casey Jones into a murderer.

At a convention over the weekend, I noticed Star Trek had enough fan films that a Family Feud game over the top five were created. It was a good film that left me wanting for more by other characters. I'd love to see a Hamato Yoshi/Splinter, Dimension X Wars (Neutrinos vs. Kraang/Rock Soldiers), Shredder Wars, and April O'Neil fan films made someday.

Neutrino wars would be great, but wouldnt that have a amazingly big budget for a fan-film?

Decided to re-watch this movie again today and thought I'd post here to get people to either re-watch it or maybe discover it for the first time.


My opinion on the movie definitely changed since I watched it when it first came out. While I did like it that first time I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't more Casey Jones instead of shoehorning turtles-verse stuff in the movie. He just makes a perfect "realistic" movie that can be made with a low budget if you only include him and while I still believe that I can now understand what they were doing with this short film. It's not meant to be a Casey Jones solo short but a Casey Jones in the turtle verse short. With that mindset you can enjoy everything in it since you can tell it was made with love incorporating stuff from pretty much any incarnation. Hearing Mikey, seeing Krang, the yellow jump suit, Ninja Pizza, etc. are great additions instead of seeing them as something that clashed.

Some nitpicks. The suit works surprisingly well when its hidden in shadows, they really should've darkened all the scenes with Mikey. Krang looks ridiculous but the whole unexpected appearance makes it work. The other turtles voices are all excellent with the exception of Raph. Casey Jones' actor was perfect but he definitely could've been a little bit beefier for the role. The music is not bad but some of it just doesn't match some parts of the film.

I have always loved the goofiness of the film. I'm not a big fan of a Casey Jones that basically murders punk kids in the streets in the name of vigilante justice. I thought the Krang and Michelangelo cameos were a huge thrill. Plus, the actress who played April looked great in the jumpsuit!

I thought it was a lot of fun. Really violent a la troma films.
