I plan on compiling a list after I've seen the movie.

Penny: My working theory remains that there was no fully finished "Final" script. I'd bet dollars to donuts that they took the ideas that they were already 100% committed to filming (for budget reasons) from the "Blue Door" script, stapled them to another Action Movie script (possibly an older, more faithful TMNT script, but just as likely any old Fights N 'Splosions script they had in a drawer), and did a quick Wikipedia skim for important character names and such from the 80s cartoon.

That makes as much, if not more sense than "We shoot in six months, let's start completely over with a brand new draft." Statistically speaking, that never happens. "Blue Door" would have been awful, if shot as written. This movie doesn't have to be AS bad just because it still has some of the same ingredients, but it is very, very telling.

Ah well.

They have totally nailed their personalities! I adore that they have a "jam space" in their sewer. And that scene in the elevator! Amazing!

First FULL clip from TMNT - originally aired with the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon:



no new Turtle scenes, Whoopi Goldberg was his guest, and the scene features Megan Fox's April, trying to convince Whoopi's Bernadette that she isnt crazy; pretty funny.

It's not playing here....I have it posted in another thread. I was a great clip nonetheless!

The line at the end is a bit "eh?"

"They're ninjas, and they do karate."

Ok...

I'm quite pleased about that line rather than another reference to China's Kung-Fu techniques considering the turtles are meant to have their fighting style roots set in Japanese culture. Most Hollywood peeps can't tell the difference (looking at you, "Karate Kid" remake even though it was referred to kung-fu in the script).

A lot of that new trailer seems to take jabs at fan fears...."They have GUNS!"

thing is. I thought to myself, if I came across 4 giant turtles, who can do martial arts - I wouldnt be incredibly eloquent as I strived to convince ppl of 1) what I saw, and 2) that I wasnt crazy.

I actually appreciated that she said 'karate' - which is at the very least, culturally specific to Japan, the birth place of Ninjas.

BUT, not to get all Donnie;

Spoiler:

Historically speaking, Ninja clans originated in the Japanese mountains, settled there by Chinese immigrants seeking both refuge, and solace. and considering the similarity between kung fu, and karate, I mean my instructor always says, there are only so many ways to punch or kick before it all starts to look the same.

I felt the same way; first the alien line, and then the guns quote. Funnily enough, there are ppl on Twitter, that to this day still think they are aliens, and are swearing off this movie as a result. smh.
