Cyber is right dude,I won't buy season 3 and the first few episodes of season 4 because of the seven different DVDS instead of what should be one to two so I use youtube for now to watch that and season 7 until the DVD releases finally come out.

Nick really needs to give the 4kids series proper DVD sets. Hopefully Shout Factory gets the license.

I like the live action version of this fight better because I find more dramatic and stakes were higher. Tatsu being involved was great and the "oh ****" reaction the turtles have when he shows up was better than the Hun showing up. Plus the build up of having Raphael beaten up and tossed through the ceiling was awsome. Casey's entrance was the best, completely trumps Casey's entrance in the 2k3 series.

The cartoon, I didn't feel the same kind of urgency and threat during the situation as I did in the L.A movie. And even though Leo was injured I couldn't take his injuries as seriously as Raphael's since at one point he does get up while Raphael was out cold the whole. Plus I thought Leo's "bruises" looked really lame.

Also I know this is all my bias coming in, but I liked that it was Raphael instead of Leo who got greviously wounded during the battle.

I like the live action film version better because unlike the source material and 4Kids series we get a different turtle being hurt. I thought that was an interesting choice from the writer's perspective.

Can't believe this poll... The 4kids version had it all. Splinter catching the arrow and snapping it, Shredder actually being there. Plus new awesome stuff like the Elite Guard, the cliff-hanger ending with the mysterious Guardians.

The movie version was too slap-sticky for the most part, but the one thing I will give it is it had a way better Casey Jones entrance.

What about the Arcade/NES game?

Besides that, I'd go with the comic.

I voted the live action one. where else can you do a nunchuk competition between mikey and the foot

also, um guys...i'm not so sure dropping in is such a good idea...structurally speaking (to quote donatello)

And i would agree also with the Arcade apartment fight...just too much fire if you ask me.

the cliff hanger ending was cool. Maybe it's the fact that the 4KIDs version is animated and the movie was live action. It kind of gives a more dangerous feel to it in a way. I know there is only so much you can get away with in a kids cartoon but Leo's injuries looked weird to say the least. I mean I know he was out cold but they didn't look life threatening. Raphael in the movie looked half dead.

Though I do like several things the cartoon added. Like April protecting Leo from hun, and then Casey threatening Hun when he moves in to hit her. So badass. I can't recall what April was doing in the movie.

Question does the fact that the right turtle "Leo" getting attacked like how he was in the comics, make the fight scene better than the movie were they gave that scene to Raphael?

It does not matter the turtle that gets hurt as long as its a sense of drama because of it. It could have been Mike or Don if the situation called for it. In this situation it was better that it was Raph because it fit better. In the black and white comics it fit that it was Leo. Some version may come along and it is better suited that Mike or Don were beaten half to death by the foot clan.


April was doing the same as she did in the other two versions, holding/playing nurse for Leo to answer your question,Sage.

The only thing the comics had beyond the premise for an epic fight was the panel of Casey Jones entering the fray.

Watching them both at this point in time I would go with the 4 kids version since I do believe nowadays you could come up with a more realistic Live action battle..or at least I hope they do, but at the time it was indeed a really dramatic battle specially since I didn't think it was possible to see Raph knocked out.

Not everybody who watches the 2K3 show is absolutely going to feel the urge to watch it again multiple times. I love the show and have rewatched it, but I realize that not everybody is going to feel the same way.



This is a tough choice, cause on the one hand, I love the movie version because of the drama it evoked and the epic music is phenomenal, but the 2K3 toon was a little more accurate in it's adaptation of the comic, while still adding things that weren't in the comic. I think I'll choose the first movie, but only out of nostalgia because I've seen that a couple hundred times and only seen the animated version like 2 or 3 times.
