What Other Movies You'd Like TMNT ton Reference?

*Warhorse* · 10-17-2014, 07:48 PM

There have been many episodes that reference actual movies, from Squirrelanoids referencing Aliens, Humungous Fungus referencing Fantasia, to season 3 already referencing Friday the 13th and Harry and the Hendersons. Any movies you'd like to see referenced eventually?

Me, considering the voice actors on the show, I'd love an episode somewhat referencing The Goonies. I think an adventure like that could be fun for 23 minutes.

Other movies?

...What's left?

*IndigoErth* · 10-17-2014, 07:56 PM

Oh gosh, um... In terms of scary ones they just hit one of my fave set, Halloween (albeit the non-Michael Myers sequel).

Agree, Goonies is a practically a must! Trying to think of what would work... Maybe we'll get a Back to the Future nod here at some point.

Nick, I request a Falkor knockoff from Neverending Story. I don't care how you have to try to work that in. Mikey and Falkor, it will work! (And the music starts in my head with the Mikey mental image...)

What? Are you kidding me?

Jurassic Park
Ghost Busters
Indiana Jones
Gladiator (this would be bitchin if they pulled this when the Triceratons come in)
E.T.
Lost Boys

not a movie, but I would like to see more Toku stuff referenced.

If they found a way to reference Garo...oh happy day

*CyberCubed* · 10-17-2014, 08:14 PM

There aren't that many movies for TMNT to reference. They don't even make many movies in general anymore.

*ssjup81* · 10-17-2014, 08:43 PM

You forgot Friday 13. I'm already expecting a Nightmare on Elm Street reference with the Dream Beavers coming up. Oh and Mazes and Mutants had a Lord of the Rings reference. Big Trouble in Little China in that Ho Chan ep. Star Wars in the invasion with the mural that Casey made. Well, that's what I thought of anyway. Reminded me of the old movie poster. In that clip with them cleaning, it has a Karate Kid reference through Leonardo ("Window cleaner on, window cleaner off").

But yeah, the Alien reference in the Squirrelnoids ep was great. They even snatched dialog from the movie I noticed, "It's game over man!"

Anyway, since it's October, I want a reference made to The Shining.

OMG! If they did reference something from that movie, it better involve Mikey. lol

BTW, am I the only one who finds Falkor to be a tad bit creepy? "I like children."

*Goes to listen to the song since I love it so much* So nostalgic (the song)... I didn't see the first film until this year, finally. lol The song though I did listen to a lot as a child and I remembered the music video with clips from the movie.

As for the Goonies, yes yes yes! Guys make this happen! You have Sean Astin and Corey Feldman. Reference it somehow. Mikey can be Chunk since he likes pizza so much and befriends those people see as "monsters".

Donnie is the smart one.

Man...I really do wish Irma was real now.

Hey, and since Mikey seems to like unicorns in this version, maybe they could have something referencing Legend or The Last Unicorn.

No.. but for me it was (and still) the scaly back against an otherwise furry 'dragon' that weirded me out. lol

What rock are you living under? Of course they still make movies and there'll always be films for them to reference. So far, they have referenced...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze
Aliens
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Friday 13
Big Trouble in Little China
Psycho (imo, they did in the Bigfoot ep)
Karate Kid
Possibly Nightmare on Elm Street with the Dream Beavers

Seriously, they can probably find other things to reference from movies past.

The Toxic Avenger

Coneheads (maybe with Frip and the Polarisoids if Nick owns them)

An American Tail

Wayne's World

Would love to see The Neverending Story get a nod, & if they bring in Fugitoid, he oughtta be based on Johnny 5 from Short Circuit! Gremlins, gotta reference/parody that.
An episode based on Goonies and/or Indiana Jones would be super sweet too. Back To The Future gags in a Renet time travel episode, maybe? What about a humanoid Kraang exosuit that more or less becomes Terminator?

The possibilities are endless. Night Of The Living Creeps is a horror favorite of mine, would love to see that worked in somehow.

*DarkFell* · 10-17-2014, 09:07 PM

Someone let me know if the show has made any references to Labyrinth, Legend, or It.
Heck, I'd settle for a Sleepy Hallow ref.

*Warhorse* · 10-17-2014, 09:09 PM

Ace Ventura Pet Detective (I can totally see Mikey and either Donnie or Raph starting that as their own side business. It could be very cute if executed right)

Flight of the Navigator
Adventures in Babysitting/Three Men and a Baby (the OT had an episode similar to TMAB)
Critters/Gremlins
Chucky
Poltergeist (I think it would be hilarious if one of the Turtles threw in the "They're here!" line)
Willow (what with the time traveler now, many of these scenarios is a possibility)
Wild Wild West/Blazing Saddles (Ciro mentioned how he thought the Turtles in a western setting might be amusing)

Yeah, his design is a bit freaky. I think if I saw that in real life as a child, or even now, I'd have an "oh my god wth is that thing coming towards me" attitude about it.

Ok, I had this idea that, if Mona Lisa were brought in and joined the group, somehow they could reenact "Mikey's first kiss" scene from "Goonies."

Like have April dare Mona Lisa to kiss Raph, so she hides away in a cave and calls for him. Raph tells Mikey to go check it out, but he's playing a mobile game while he's doing it. It's too dark to see and before Mikey can call Mona Lisa's name, she grabs him (with her eyes closed) and kisses him. They could get a shot of Mikey shuffling his feet like the other Mikey did in the movie. And April could be snapping a picture, then sees it's Mikey and laughs. Mikey staggers away, clearly confused as to what just happened:

Mona Lisa: April, why are you laughing? It was wonderful! But...man, that guy eats way too much pizza.

April: Open your eyes next time. It's a WHOLE 'mother experience!

I just thought it'd be a fun shoutout since Sean Astin was in that movie and it would also include a character named "Mikey."

There was a Labyrinth reference, trying to remember which episode it was, one of the characters did the whole Crystal ball thing.

Edit: it's "Mazes and Mutants". Sir Malachai plays with his crystal ball like Jareth

They should have Karai pull a "You have no power over me" line to Shredder.

*victory_angel* · 10-17-2014, 11:16 PM

The episode where Donnie gets possess by that "Evil Force" could be the Nick Turtles take on the Exorcist. I can actually see Mikey chanting "The wisdom of Splinter compels you." in place of "The power of Christ compels you."
