Cuts in The Epic Begins.

[Jester]

So I'm watching a dub (if I use one ear bud the English come in louder than the Russian) of The Epic Begins and thought I'd do a list of cuts I noticed in it with regards to the complete 5 part pilot:

1. There is a little cut out on the roof top. April says, "They're getting away!" And Raph says, "That's what they think!" and it cuts directly to Leonardo throwing his sword to the other roof, and them sliding down the rope.
2. There's a cut with in the Foot Building, shortening the climb to the roof. The scene where the Turtles "surf" on furniture and such is cut. It cuts straight from "Look on the bright side, at least it's not raining!" to Mikey saying, "The roof!"
3. Episode 1 "ends" with "We never bothered to look it up in the dictionary!" The pizza bit is removed.
4. After the Turtles practice we cut right to April asking for real food. The Turtles topping pizza with breakfast cereal is cut. (What does the Epic Begins have against pizza?)
5. While looking for the Technodrome, the bit from Donatello saying "It should be right...here?" to Mikey saying, "That-a-way!" is removed.
6. Leo raises the manhole cover and we cut directly to Channel 6. The scene with the Turtles running across the street and spying Channel 6 is removed.
7. The lines "It's gotta be a trap!" "I hate it when he says that!" are followed immediately by the Turtles against the robots. April calling for a news van, the room with the moving walls, the encounter with the Roadkill Rodneys have been removed.
8. The fight with the robots is shortened significantly. After Leo calls for the Turtles to, "ATTACK!" it cuts to Raphael taking down the flying ray robot.
9. Once the battle is over the scene cuts to the room with Splinter suspended from the ceiling. The bit with the "spiked rolling pin" is removed.
10. Shredder's retelling of the origin story from his perspective is cut.
11. Episode 2 ends with the Turtles rescuing Splinter and leaving the Technodrome. They never face off against Bebop and Rocksteady, save the instance when they run head long into each other.
12. The only clip from A Thing about Rats is the framing device of Splinter resting and the Turtles searching for the Technodrome. Leonardo's line "Stay with him, April." is removed. Which makes Donatello's reference to Baxter a tad confusing...but don't worry, he won't crop up again.
13. The conversation about Baxter is removed. The movie cuts from Raphael saying Donatello "can whip up some heavy weight Turtle gear with these spare parts." to Donatello wondering if it's worth it. The scene then cuts to the Technodrome rolling underground. The bit where Donatello asks why they have to deal with Shredder, he's the human's problem, to Mikey reminding him it's the only job they're qualified for, is removed.
14. Shredder explaining to Krang that he's working on many bio-mechanical experiments, including Krang's body and the never seen better-than-Bebop-and-Rocksteady-mutants, is cut.
15. Bebop and Rocksteady facing of against Tragg and Granitor as well as the Turtles driving to the "Global" trade center is cut. After Bebop's line "And I thought we were weird lookin." we cut to the Neutrinos blowing their way out of the Technodrome.
16. Donatello trying to plot the Neutrino's course is cut ("They're heading south...no no north. They're heading south and north.") The Neutrino's comments on earth as an "Un-hep (or is it hip) primitive society" is also missing.
17. Raphael shooting the Techno-rover and April's "slick driving" are removed. Which makes Dask's line about "fancy shooting" silly.
18. Tragg and Grantor trying to find an "earth vehicle" is removed.
19. The explanation of Mikey's interaction with Krang from A Thing About Rats is removed.
20. Mikey reassuring Kala is removed.
21. Mikey uses the lubricant on his own, since he doesn't engage Tragg (and break his nunchuck in the process.)
22. After the Neutrinos go through the portal, the Turtles immediately turn their attention to the Weather Maker Satellite.
23. April reading the Tortoise and the Hare is removed. (And so is Leonardo's awesome "They'll need their rest. Because tomorrow we're going to find the Shredder...and FINISH HIM!" line. )
24. Shredder specifically sending Bebop and Rocksteady to stop the Turtles is removed.
25. Donatello saw something "at workshop" that he could make into something helpful. (Man, what a clunky edit out of Baxter.) The full line in the movie is: I saw something at workshop. Uh..bet it would do the job. In the episode: I saw something at Baxter's workshop. It'd need a little work but I bet it would do the job.
26. Rocksteady's "blazing electric death" is removed. In fact the scene cuts from Splinter kicking Bebop in the face straight to Bebop picking up and hurling a car.
27. Saki asking why he should add the molecular amplification circuit is removed.
28. After Raph punches the Foot (Out of my face, jerk!) we cut to April at Channel 6. Leonardo cutting the pipe and the Foot being flushed down the ravine is removed.
29. Of course, Donatello's interaction with Baxter's house keeper is gone.
30. The Turtles looking for Splinter in the Technodrome and stumbling on the room with the security cameras is removed.
31. The scene where Vernon joins April in the news van is shortened. The bit where he asks for proof to which April shows him the interior of the van is removed.
32. Raphael and Michelangelo "improvising" in the blimp is removed. The movie cuts from "Wait 'till the world gets and eye full of this." to Leonardo and Donatello inside Krang, right next to the molecular amplification circuit. (Thus the shoulder joint bit is gone.)

Yikes...that's one long post. I may have missed some things in the beginning...I was going by memory until the flood of the Foot skyscraper.
