TMNT Deleted Scenes - Page 3

Shadow · 02-18-2003, 03:06 PM

this may have been posted...but I heard that there was a scene in number two where they did this bit on recycling...but they took it out. There's a pic somewhere.

peace and fun...

(I would really like to see that scene with april and danny....alas)

**HorseTechie** · 02-19-2003, 11:45 AM

Hrmm.. I can check my TMNT2 script again when I get home. But I thought that was just part of their goody-goody promo pics.

Oh... I've said this before, but for those who hadn't heard... in the TMNT2 script I bet ya one in a million they were hoping to have Ya Kid K as the musician on stage, and not Vanilla ice. The musican is written in as a black lady rapper, and she is the one that Shredder holds hostage (not that Cindy Lauper wanna be in red). I can type up a caption of this if ya want. Been meaning to get these movie script changes up on my site, but I'm too lazy...

Shadow · 02-19-2003, 12:39 PM

HorseTechie: That's really interesting. I wish they would have gone that route. Perhaps she was not available?

Also HorseTechie, where did you come by your script? I've always wanted to look at one to see how they write it and how much direction there actually is... Would you be willing to scan a few scenes for me to take a look at?

Don't forget the spots of blood on Splinter's face as he's being hung on the wall...

About the scene where the fpur shells popped out of the water, did they use that exact scene in the 2nd movie? They looked very similar.

*Jephael* · 02-19-2003, 09:32 PM

It's kinda hard to tell since they only show it for a split second in the trailer for the first film. But it is possible.

Shadow · 02-19-2003, 09:40 PM

no i don't think they did. they're very different shells and color scheme....plus its not the same location. The second one was done on a sound stage...the first one while it may have been shows a lot more of the city

TMNT is cooler than MOTU · 02-19-2003, 10:17 PM

Where would that scene even fit in with the 1st movie? They were never near water were they?

I got it from an online script dealer a few years back. Unfortunately, he's out of business now.

But I'll be willing to show yah a few select scenes. Hopefully by this Saturday I can get around to that!

Shadow · 02-20-2003, 01:47 PM

That is why it was CUT. But there was one at least filmed for the first movie because it is in the trailer...and clearly it was filmed before 2.

;o)

HTechie: I will be for ever in your debt.

That would have been so much better! Technotronic was pretty cool, and in my opninion, that would have made a much better cameo.

**HorseTechie** · 02-21-2003, 07:57 PM

Dang.. these scritpos are gonna take a lot longer than I thought to scan in and set up in OCR text. For now, I'm only scanning the scenes that are different.

But here's where the cut parts for the turtle shells in water would have appeared in TMNT1 (the ones seen in the DVD trailer) What's fascinating, is that the TV news of April is actually what the Turtles are watching during the intro.

*clips and pastes*

FADE IN:
EXT. NEW YORK CITY STREETS - DUSK

Deserted, wet, solemn.

A BREEZE kicks up, blowing a sheet of newspaper along the ground and trapping it against the grill of a car. The headline reads:
CITY CRIME ESCALATES.”

Further along, STEAM belches from the four vents of a marthole cover, which begins to vibrate like a teakettle. Suddenly, it blows, flying into the air and crashing down near the open sewer hole. The RATTLING of the cover stubbornly echoes about the empty streets, then dies, AS WE DESCEND INTO:

2 INT. THE SEWER - DUSK

revealing the bowels of New York City: A dark, dank maze of tunnels, filled with debris, much of it drowning in a murky trough of water. -

Moving deeper into the sewer, a distant SOUND becomes audible.
Continuing deeper, the sound grows into the drone of a
TELEVISION. Deeper still, and words become distinct:

APRIL O'NEIL (V.0.)
much more than just a series of small, isolated incidents.

3 INT. THE SEWER AT TURTLES’ DEN DOOR - DUSK

The voice emanates from an old boarded-up doorway that leads to a maintenance room, long forgotten, off the main sewer.

APRIL (V.0..)
It's now apparent that an organized criminal element is at work. And at the moment...

The door remains closed, a flickering light bleeding through its cracks.

APRIL (V.0.)
...business is good.

4 EXT. A DIFFERENT STREET - DUSK
UNDER the sound of April's continuing report:

APRIL (V.0.)
So good, in fact, that there appear to be no eyewitnesses to any of these crimes...

This street is much busier than the first, as a group of people wait to cross at a corner. Among them is a businessman who periodically raises his arm to check an expensive watch. The light changes and the businessman begins to cross, receiving a shock when he checks the time yet again and finds his wrist bare.

5 EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING – DUSK

APRIL (V.0.)
Even the victims themselves rarely catch a glimpse...

A woman relaxes in front of a small, state-of-the-art TV set resting on the rail of her balcony, which faces a lamp post. Suddenly, a blur of speed flashes by and the TV is gone, creating a DOPPLER EFFECT as the music fades away.

6 EXT. STREET - (WOMAN'S P.O.V. – DUSK)
The woman looks over the balcony just in time to see a pair of heels retreating from the lamp post.

7 EXT. ANOTHER STREET/SUBWAY STATION - DUSK

APRIL (V.0.)
Many don't even know that they're been victimized...

Late commuters emerge from a subway station. A man's wallet is stealthily removed from his suit by a pair of hands. WE FOLLOW THE WALLET as it is passed to another hand moving in the opposite direction, and then to another — precise, clockwork movements. And though faces are not seen, it is apparent from clothing that these hands belong to young men. Teenagers.

A final pair of hands then opens the wallet, removes the cash, and discards the empty shell into a dumpster - where it joins an assortment of its brethren, already there.

until, of course, it's much too late. Some are already dubbing it The Silent Crime Wave.” But perhaps the most disturbing silence...

7A INSERT: CLOSE ON - A TV SCREEN 7A
and an attractive REPORTER in her late twenties.

APRIL
is that coming from City Hall. (signing off )
April O'Neil. Channel Six Action News.

CUT TO:
8 EXT. CHANNEL SIX TELEVISION STATION - NIGHT 8
situated on the lower West Side docks of New York.
CREDITS BEGIN.

Through a large double glass door, April can be seen passing a security guard at the sign-in counter. He checks his watch and gives her a playful shame, shame” for working so late, and they share a laugh as she exits.

Now making her way through the largely deserted parking lot, April passes by a dumpster just as a bottle SMASHES to the ground. She whirls and sees a rat scurrying away.

APRIL
Agch...!

Immediately hopping onto a crate, she assumes an arms-retracted, “I-hate-rats” pose. She then shudders and steps down, continuing on her way, her heels echoing the increased tempo of her pace.

9 EXT. ACROSS THE HUDSON RIVER - NIGHT 9

TRACKING April along the opposite shore, as reflected moonlight dances on the water amidst floating debris. Slowly, one by one, large convex shapes break the surface of the water, glistening in the moonlight and separating the floating garbage, until there are four. Four Turtle shells.
10 EXT. PARKING LOT - NIGHT

while April reaches into her purse for car keys and passes some remote broadcast vans, suddenly stumbling upon several young THUGS, efficiently ripping of f TV monitors from the vehicles. Startled, one draws a knife. A moment of tense silence goes by.

TMNT is cooler than MOTU · 02-21-2003, 08:52 PM

Grrr! Why couldn't they stick to the script?! That would've been MUCH better.

**HorseTechie** · 02-22-2003, 10:53 AM

It's amazing just how much is int eh script. Lots of things! I guess that's where the comic adaptation anfd the graphic novel are useful too.

I also liked this brief diescription of each of the turtles in the beginning of the script too.

THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Powerfully built. Heavily armed. Definitely green.

The first is LEONARDO, with blue mask and katana (Ninja Swords), the unofficial leader of the group. Disciplined. Calculating. Cool under fire.

Next is MICHAELANGELO, with orange mask and nunchukus, the happy-go-lucky, rock an’ roll, wisecrackin’ surf turtle. Slightly chubbier than the others.

The third is DONATELLO, with purple mask and bo (Ninja Staff), the intellectual of the group with a knack for fixing things. Introspective. Often soft-spoken, with a distinctly high, but throaty, voice. He views the world with a sense of wonder.

A fourth shadow, and then turtle, steps into view wearing a red mask. This is RAPHAEL. Mr. Intensity.

(( funny they don't have much to say about him ))

CHUBBIER?!

Hmm, maybe cuz he's younger....

what was the description for Splinter?

~~Reznorite420~~ · 02-22-2003, 11:20 AM

No...he's chubbier from all that pizza he eats!

**Machias Banshee** · 02-22-2003, 11:22 AM

Heh, I'll just pretend its that he the youngest, and still has his baby fat...

**HorseTechie** · 02-22-2003, 11:40 AM

Okay... Splinter's description *reads it again and tries to not laugh*

SPLINTER

an aging, arthritic rat who stands about four feet high and wears a patched up hapi coat and tabbies on his feet. Exuding the wisdom of his years, his voice is a balm of tranquility, his eyes serene yet sharp.

And half of his right ear is missing.

Dontebell · 02-22-2003, 11:44 AM

was there any scence that was etited when shredder failed in the garbage truck?

*Eye of Sarnath* · 02-22-2003, 12:07 PM

I don't think so. Why?
