Original TMNT Movie to be re-released in Cinemas (UK)

Jason · 11-10-2003, 02:30 PM

Good news if you're in the UK, it looks like they are planning to re-release the 1st Ninja Turtles film back in the cinemas to cash in on the popularity of the new show.
The 1st Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film was originally released in the UK back in 1990 with around 2 minutes worth of cuts; however the BBFC have confirmed they've removed the previous cuts so it will have an uncut PG rating this time.

You can read it for yourself over at the BBFC's page:

It was classified for UK cinema release on the 5th November so should hopefully be out in the next few months.

So TMNT fans in UK is finally getting justice. Nice to hear.

the same movie from the 90's cool the best one in my opinion

, i wish they did that here too

Actually, they're probably more likely prepping a DVD release of the movie. Since the movie and all extras have to pass the BBFC before they can be included on the DVD.

What about Sydney? Will it be at the cinemas in Australia too? I've been wanting to see that one.

It's been given a cinema (film) classification, not a DVD (video) classification. Although it may be given a future DVD classification the current one applies only to UK cinema, implying a cinema release.

Wow, that's really cool. I'd love to see them re-release it everywhere, too. And it's great that they put what they had originally cut back in.

0MGOMGOMGOMGOMG! Yes, yes, yes!

This is just the most awesome news for me ever since the new show! I can't wait! To see the turtles on the big screen again with be the best thing ever, especially if the movie really will be uncut.

I mean I own the US version on video but to see t on a huge big screen would be incredble. I so cannot wait!!!

You are so lucky to see that back on the Big Screen! America needs to follow on this one.

Yeah.. that movie hasn't been in theaters since I was in kindergarten, what great memories.

*jeff the cheff* · 11-11-2003, 05:18 PM

I bet if they did that in the u.s, the tmnt would get a lot more popular, since it is such a good movie. I really wish i could watch this movie in theatres, it would bring great memories

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-11-2003, 05:21 PM

yeah, but you know people, they would start complaining about how they don't bother making new movies, or that they just want to make movie out of the old ones, but thats just the bad part U_U

Savanti Romero · 11-11-2003, 05:45 PM

They should really make a new movie taking advantage of all todays technology. I bet they could really make the Turtles realistic along with the other characters.

**Karpo_007** · 11-11-2003, 05:47 PM

The Hall Mark project is supposed to Combine live action and CGI graphics. But the prjoect is still on hold. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled...

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-11-2003, 05:47 PM

i really didn't like that they went it those goofy looking 3d turtles, i'm glad it was cancelled, but i hope to see new movie soon

*Buslady* · 11-11-2003, 05:54 PM

That's great!! be first in line!!! (i was way back in '90!)
