I would bet on it.

Just like when that DVD in Germany of the first film came out that had the 'comic book ending' and the commentary.


While here in the US we get screwed...again.

Man, the only Turtles Bluray we have in Australia is the first movie and it doesn't even have chapters. It's not just the US.

Seriously? Wow, that Is crappy.

I don't understand why theses studios can't just get their head out of their ass, make a deal with others worldwide, and let everyone get the fair shake. What happens in one should happen in all, and vice versa. I would think 'Pleasing the Customer' would be first and foremost. I guess not.

Guess I'll just be content with my German DVD.

As far as I was told the rough cut, which Mr. Barron still holds on as a vhs copy and/or the extended cut which was hinted at at comikaze con will not see the light of day anytime soon because of "issues" which cannot be resolved right now.

I can't say more about it because if I told more about it there would be more details out there about it and automatically something else TMNT related which details shouldn't be public as of now would also be talked about and that would kinda undermine the work done by certain people in the last few...


Nope - sry can't say more...

Just look forward to something awesome being released in 2014 (or early 2015) and someting less exciting for most Fans because it will only see a release in europe. But more on the "less exciting" thing later - maybe on a seperate thread.

ah, I see.thanks for clearing that up(no irony, I really can live with the way you were conveying the message and yet keep up the secrecy)
gosh, I am really looking forward to all of this!especially the super duper thingie comming out in 2014 or early 2015(think I can figure out whatb it is and how many years its been worked on)

Could this be the Director's Cut version we've been promised?
I was hoping for something to come out with the movie in August. Maybe since the 2014 is coming out in Oct. the UK is getting the Director's cut 1990 movie then, meaning it'll come out sooner in North America.

It looks like this release is actually just a "steelbook edition"...most likely the same cut of the film, just in an exclusive steelbook. The original UK release of the first movie apparently was a 1080i image and there's talks of this one being a 1080p release. Other than that, I believe it'll be the same movie.

Apparently the new Turtles film isn't opening in the UK until October, when this (UK) steelbook is released and this appears to be timed for the cinema release of the new one. It would be nice to get a 'director's cut', but I think this release is just to capitalize on the opening of the new film in the UK. Nothing more....

I am now allowed to share the news for the european TMNT Fans
TMNT 1 to 3 will get a german Blu-Ray Release with some great special features:
A few Months ago WinklerFilm, german homevideo publisher, aquired the rights to release all 3 Movies on Blu-Ray. Over the last few weeks their looks far and wide to find bonusmaterial to the second and third movie and today I am allowed to share the details:
TMNT 1 (Turtles - Der Film)
Audiocommentary by Steve Barron (originally recorded for the german DVD), Deleted Scenes (those who omited Mikeys Chucks), Extended Ending & Trailer.
TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze (Turtles 2 - Das Geheimnis des Ooze)
Audiocommentary by Michael Pressmann (recorded for this release), Making Of (Behind The Shells Documentary) & Trailer
TMNT 3 (Turtles 3)
Audiocommentary by Stuart Gillard

They were also able to aquire the right to use the original Theatrical Poster of TMNT 3 as Coverartwork.

All 3 Blu-Rays (as well as all 3 DVD Rereleases) are going to be released on June 20th in Germany. All Blu-Rays are Region B (Europe) and the DVDs are Region 2. They tried to make the Release Regionfree, but weren't allowed to do so by the Licenseholder.

All 3 Blu-Rays on Amazon:

You mentioned "Something awesome will be released in 2014 or early 2015?"

What was that about? Because in the same post, you said this news (which now we know are some kind of special features on the sequels) was 'less exciting'...

And is that just for European fans too?

[sethmartin]

I would be interested in hearing the audio commentaries to all three movies. Specifically Turtles 3. I want to know why they went the time travel route and overall what were they thinking.

Can't say it right now - you will find out soon enough, not from me but from another person here on the board.
I just found out about it because I helped on the german Blu-Rays.

Not the "Something awesome..." will be for Fans around the World, but will most likely hit the US in advance.

[xChri5x]

So... The TMNT 1 release will be identical to the pervious German DVD?

Well, at least maybe this will give us a better quality version of the Behind the Shells...unless it's just a VHS rip.

Also:


Aww yeahh

[marcelangelo]

hey thanks hudemx!hahahaha, thats actually quite incredible!three audio commentaries is awesome!I needed to get the second movie on dvd again anyway since I gave mine away to my lil nephew who just adored the shell out of ithahahaha, thanks for the updates, compadre!
molto explosionoooo!!!

p.s.: really REALLY looking foward to that special super duper thingie, incredible that there will be a german blu ray release for this!I have assumed this would be more a region free thing (if we were that lucky at all..), but this is really nice!gonna buy lots of those and pass em on!

[rickwj324]

So...any updates on this?

Is it worth it to buy the DVD for the one commentary? Can I hack a DVDplayer to play it? I just wanna hear this commentary so bad.

If there is no extended cut, I would still like to see a digital enhancement of the 1st film. For example, they could correct the lip syncing now with computer software, and black out the faces inside the mouths. Erasing minor goofs like the white legs when the Turtles jump out in the intro would be nice too.

A nice remaster would be great.

It would probably cost more than the movie was made for to actually go through and do this to any decent standard...

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Nice. This looks like a possible purchase.

It's a bit weird how the Amazon cover shows the 2014 shooting logo.

Didn't the 1990 movie use the OT Logo?

[MastahShredder]

Yes please.

Probably a very dumb question, but have you seen it in Blu-Ray yet? Some scenes are unbelievably crystal clear.

That's a rip from it so the quality is good but it's obviously not going to be Blu-Ray quality on my laptop.
