As soon as I get a job I'm going to make some custom shirts. Just need to get some better TMNT art made that I put on a tracing sheet for fabric

.

How did the people like the movie? Did they actually watch it? If we tried something like that at my school no one would watch it, they would go in and be as rude and idiodic as possible

Wow... Everyone in my high school agreed that TMNT was the greatest ninja movie ever made... Most shunned the cartoon, but everyone I know believes that TMNT was one of the best comic/cartoon hybrids ever made... It took everything people loved about the cartoons and the comics and blended them into a decidedly kid safe friendly environment... But, see, I wanna see the part those bastards at F.H.E. cut out from the theatrical release when it came to home video. Seriously, they cut out this five minute piece, and few remember it existed. What's worse is that it didn't show up on the DVD release, meaning that they probably cut it directly out of the master copy... Anyone have any info on this?

Yeah the first movie was great. It was suitable for kids, But had a real, dep plot, great humor, and great action scenes. Definetly a good movie!

Funny, I don't remember a piece of the movie being cut out from the theatrical release...what did it involve?

ZigFB · 03-20-2003, 04:00 PM

I don't remember... I just know there's this section of the film that, after I watch, I always begin to get a headache cause I know there's something that should be there... I NEVER can remember, cause I was only about six or seven when I first saw the movie in theaters... I'm happy, cause I at least saw all of them in theaters.... Even the afront to god and man known as TMNT III.... "Gee Bob, I'm really sad there's no more Back to the Future movies..." "I got an idea bob." "What's that bob?" "Let's make a time travel movie with the turtles!" "Good idea, bob. But, how are we gonna fit them all inside a DeLorian?" "Uh, let's make it a MAGICAL time travel movie, with no explination as to how the magical properites exist!" "Good enough for me!"

There's two scenes that were dropped. This is from memory so I might fudge a few things.

The first was when they were on the farm. Briefly, you can see a clip of them training in the field. In the scene that was (to my knowledge) filmed and then cut, Leonardo turned his mask to cover his eyes and urged the others to attack him. Raphael refused; Leo swats him with the flat part of his sword until he does. Blinded, Leo fights off Raphael with ease. The others attack, and Leo fights them off as well. Apparently it was going to prove Splinter's "not from the body but from the mind" speech according to the dialog.

The second scene was at the end. April and Danny take her drawings to a comic book company and pitch "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" as a comic book. The publisher rejects the idea, calling it "too farfetched". Outside the building, the turtles hang on suction cups and laugh hysterically as they listen to the conversation.

Both scenes are included in the novel based on the movie, and I think the comic book adaption too. I'm not sure if both of them were filmed but they were in the script. I'm pretty sure they both were filmed, though, and cut out. I don't even remember seeing either of them in the theatrical release.

It was something other than those.... I can see a bit of it in my head when I watch the movie, but never the full thing... Gah... Brain hurting now!!

They're sold at Hot Topic, for about $18 each. There's also quite a few online stores that sell shirts, try doing a few searches.

But there's also customizing your own. I did, a old cartoon logo patch ironed onto a halter top. I plan on getting a few cheap tanks and fabric paints and doing some more this summer.
