Did you see any of the original movies in theaters?

[fridaynightdestination]

Did you? Do you remember the experience at all? Well, I wasn't even born when the original three were made, but I did see TMNT 2007 in theaters when I was 8 years old. I remember showing up a bit late, I'm pretty sure I arrived with my dad when April and Leo were talking in the caves. I know I liked the movie but the whole experience is vague. I remember the theater being packed and everyone laughed when Mikey said "I had dreams of birthday parties" and I remember the scene of Leo and Raph fighting was really shocking and intense for my 8 year old mind.

Wow you are a young dude but to answer your question yes I have seen every TMNT movie at the theaters. The original I saw twice and I was 8 or 9 years old myself when that came out

[Warhorse]

Yep, I saw all of them in the theaters, and the original and the last one I saw multiple times. (It's going to be 25 years next year for the 1990 film. Yikes.

But, yeah, lets see, I would have been 12, and I was so used to the kiddy version on TV, that I was shocked at the violence and swearing in the movie, but I welcomed it. (I remember getting upset at Raph getting beaten up)

[Turtle-X]

i saw the first and second in theaters.

[Donatello19]

All of 'em.

[CyberCubed]

I know I definitely saw TMNT II and III in theaters when I was a kid, and of course I saw the 4th one in 2007.

But back in 1990 I was only 5 years old, so I cannot recall if I actually saw the first movie in theaters or not.

[pdizzle]

Yes. The first one and the third one. The 1st one was the first movie I ever seen in theaters. My brother didnt even tell me what we were going to see and I remember the exitement I had when I seen rapheals head pop out of the sewers watching april get his sai and ive never been happier. That and when him and leo rolled on the rooftop then split with leo coming up with a round house is really all I remember, but it was still great. As for the 2007 movie I thing I seen that movie 12 times before it left the theaters. Everyone knows what a turtle buff I am so it seemed like every other day someone was wanting me to go watch it with them, and who am I to say no to a free turtle movie? Lol.....

[TigerClaw]

I remember seeing the original 3 movies in the theater.

[bridgegrn]

Not only do I remember seeing the original movie in theaters I remember the first time I saw the original tv spot lol. "They're young…they're cool…". I remember running to go tell my parents lol.

[Zachatello00]

I once had the theatre to myself for TMNT. It was beautiful.

[BODYCOUNT]

#1 and #2.. Man watching # 1 i was 9 years old was one of thee coolest things ever. It was dark it was funny. I was a lil scared but man that movie delivered the fuggin goods!!!

It is one of my favorite memories as a kid in a theater......

[samxsteal]

I think is missed the First and second As i was Over seas in England at a young age with no movie theaters close by. Every once and awhile they would have a Movie truck come with certain movies.

[Sanjuro]

I saw the original opening night to a sold out theater. Stuck in the first row.

Saw TMNT at the Alamo Drafthouse midnight screening. Had green pizza and received bandanas.

[Tora]

The first film was bought for me on VHS as I missed it in the theaters. I did see SOTO at age 9 and III 10 in theaters an I still remember the theater where I saw SOTO (Chagrin Cinemas) because it was the only time I ever went to that one as a kid.

Then you must be 14/15, like me! I love to meet ''age-twins''. haha

I've only seen the Imagi movie, saw it the last day it was running, I was the only person watching it.

I don't think cinema was on my mother's priority list when I was a kid, I didn't get to see a lot of movies as money was tight.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Unfortunately, the only one i saw at the cinema was TMNT from 2007. I wasn't alive for the other 3.

I do not remember seeing the first movie in theaters and it doesn't mean I didn't just that I do not remember, being five when the movie came out, many things was a blur, I do remember the ad on tv when they were showing that the vhs tape has come out to own, luckily I had just bought it and I was gloating to others about it while I was being babysat. I know for sure that I saw the second one in a mall where I got a secret agent Don in the local KB Toys afterword from my aunt, where I was introduced to the word "original" by the store employee trying to sell me on the original figures. I do still own all the original vhs tapes I watched over and over as a kid, including the third movie.

I saw the 2007 one in theaters during the regular week not on the weekend or anything. Not really as memorable for me, but I still liked it. I loved the ending with all the helmets and props from the previous movies.

The first tmnt movie was my first movie I ever saw at theaters, I vaguely remember it, but I remember my dad(RIP) taking me and my bro to see it. Dad for the win.
