What would your version of TMNT II (1991) be like?

Keep Kevin Nash, and scrap the rest.

Nah, j/k. Although I would keep Nash, but more of an "enforcer" type. Think The Russian in "Punisher". He should be in everything. He's just so damn huge and intimidating up close, he's perfect for those Unstoppable Monster roles in movies. Super-Shredder was a waste of his talent, but to be fair, it was the first thing he ever did, and under that helmet, he had a really stupid-looking mohawk at the time.

I have no idea, specifically, how TMNT II should have gone, but I definitely would have appreciated something that felt more like a logical follow-up to the first, especially since it they ostensibly only took place a few days apart. It feels like an entirely different universe altogether, and I think that's what drags it down in comparison to the first. The conflicting tone, more than anything content-wise.

Except Vanilla Ice. That really had nothing to do with anything. I hate when movies get horribly dated because producers insist on stunt-casting some flavor-of-the-minute celebrity. Doesn't kill the movie, it's just annoying. Macy Gray in "Spider-Man", I'm lookin' at you.
