How old were you when you saw Ninja Turtles the movie? - Page 4

Shogi · 10-24-2012, 04:41 PM

I don't remember if I saw it in theatres or on VHS, but I remember reading the novelization in 5th grade so I would have been 11 or 12 when I saw it. I really should go back and give all the movies another look through I don't think I've seen part 3 since it first came out on VHS

Didn't see it in films. Parents didn't have money to spend it for movies back then.

Saw it formally on local TV (the one that cuts to advertisements every 30 mins to make it last for three hours :/).

I was 2 years old when it hit theaters. I don't know how old I was exactly when I first saw it. I would guess around 10 or so and I remember watching it on television.

I got it on vhs when I was 4 and I used to watch it all the time lol. I was only 1 when it came to theatres.

Same with me, I was not even 2 yet when the movie came out in theaters so I didn't get to see it when it first came out. My parents bought me the VHS when I was 3 or 4 though. I watched that movie more times than I can count when I was a kid and I still watch in regularly (on dvd now though). This is still one of my all time favorite movies.

I was ten, and I was in the fifth grade. I'd see previews of it on TV, and when it came out, I heard a lot of other kids talking about it and how great the movie was. So I knew I had to see it. My mother took me to see it, as well as my cousin, who was probably twelve and in the seventh grade. On the way there, my mother told me she really didn't want to see the movie, but I'm grateful that she took me. Besides, I can think of worse things she could watch with me. At least I was never into Garbage Pail Kids. From what I read about their feature film, it's pretty sick to sit through, and my mother would have hated that. I also feel bad for any parent who had to sit through that with their kids.

I've never owned the VHS, although I did have a VHS copy of the second movie. I bought the DVD of each movie in 2003 though. Hopefully I'll be able to get their Blu-ray counterparts.

I was probably 4 years old at the time, Saw it in the theatre. I remember most, my dad covering my eyes when April and Casey kissed at the end, I think.

I hated it when they did that...

Let me see the good stuff!!!

I do. I got both the VHS and the soundtrack that Christmas.

TobeyP · 11-26-2012, 11:52 AM

I was about 4 or 5. We rented it when it was first released.

high3 · 12-03-2012, 05:48 PM

I took my brother to see it, I was 15 and he was 6, I was floored that it had Casey Jones in it.

Jay $tarkiller · 12-15-2012, 08:39 AM

I watched it with my mum on the big screen when I was 7 years old. I'll never forget that day, because there was an akward incident. Right in the middle of the movie my mum asked me to get her some extra popcorn, so I went outside to get her some and I saw the lady behind the counter was lying flat on the ground with weird foam coming out of her mouth. Me being 7years old, I ran to my mum and asked her if something could be wrong with this lady. My mum ran outside with me, and we actually saved the lady's life by calling an ambulance. She had some kinda allergic shock or something. Well the officials of the movie theater gave me the official poster and all the little pictures of the first turtle movie to reward me. I felt like a hero that day

wow! what a story.

it great that she was able to be saved because of you and your mom.

METALHEAD · 12-15-2012, 02:37 PM

i was 5 or 6 years old. it was just myself, my mother and my brother, we went to the harlingen theater (now a club) it was at night i believe.

so as mom paid for the tickets, brother took me to look at the movie poster, then i asked what we were gonna see, he showed me the poster of the tmnt movie, 4 realistic turtle heads poking out of the sewer, i stared and thought to myself, "they're REAL?!" - as a kid i had the impression that cartoons could turn into real beings if they chose. - but again, i was a kid.

when i saw the film--well--- wow, it was dark and griddy. - i was used to dark and griddy things. mom didn't pussify me, she exposed me to rambo, bruce lee, conan the barbarian, all those action films.

but for me to hear raph say "DDDAAAAAAYYY'MMMMNNNN!" was a shocker!
