didn't realize this until i was reading thru the facts...

back in the 80s, a Hong Kong toy company Playmates approached Mirage Studios and turned into a marketing phenomenon. just read wikipedia. Playmates was established in Hong Kong. then, when the live action films were being made, New Line Cinema called up a Hong Kong film studio Golden Harvest Films to join the production and thus, they did for all 3 live action TMNT movies. even for the new CGI film, Hong Kong is involved somehow. The CGI were all done by a Hong Kong CG studio called IMAGI. and coincidentally, Golden Scene has confirmed to be distributing the TMNT movie in Hong Kong. Golden Scene, as i've read somewhere is a subsidiary company to Golden Harvest who has directly stopped producing movies since 2002 with "My Lucky Star" starring Tony Leung Chiu-Wai (Infernal Affairs).

Golden Harvest is also known for producing some of Jackie Chan's best films ever including Drunken Master 2, Police Story, Project A and etc...

just a thought here...
