Original Movie re-release date confirmed.

Jason · 12-02-2003, 05:32 PM

It looks like is definitely back on the big screen on the 19th December 2003. In the other thread I posted there wasn't a release date given at the time, although a few sites had the 19th listed. The BBFC have updated their site so it now says that it is expected to open 19th December at the top, and they are probably the most reliable source you're going to find.
Looks like it really is going to happen.

Oh yeah. Hero Turtles. Then how can they show Ninja Turtles now? Did Britain kiss and make up with the ninjas?

*Kid Icarus* · 12-02-2003, 09:16 PM

I wish they'd do that here...

Does uncut mean with the deleted scenes and the edited blood and violence? Cuz, I'm waiting for them to release that version.

Hey! If a crumby two-bit movie like Star-Wars can be put back on the bigscreen, we should be able to see some shellback action here in the ol' US too! We're just as dedicated as our overseas brothers and sisters, gosh darn it!

And as much as I like the movie I have (on VHS and DVD), it'd be nice to see a director's cut of the movie. Mmm... blood, and gore, and violence! Oh my!
Tee hee

Savanti Romero · 12-02-2003, 10:01 PM

Whoa. I liked Star Wars. They were great old movies.

It was only the original cartoon that was called Hero Turtles, the movies have always been released as Ninja Turtles.

I thought Britain was anti-Ninja Turtle. When/why did this change?

Usagi'sChick · 12-03-2003, 08:46 AM

you better make that your #1 movie over there! And maybe we'll be lucky to see them on the big screen once again here in the states!

What kind of rock have you been living under? While they were in the cheap dollar theaters, I've seen all 3 of them on the big screen

Sorry...frustrations kicking in again.

EDIT: After seeing this whole thread, I'm going to once again push for making mention of H--- Turtles instead of Ninja Turtles as taboo...if not, I'll start my own forum and make that rule on it

I wouldn't say the UK was Anti-Ninja Turtles. The new cartoon has been really successful and Ninja Turtles is set to be the most popular toy this Christmas. Just check out these articles if you're in any doubt of the new shows popularity:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3134736.stm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/leeds/features/...presents.shtml

That is the reason why the movie is being released - because Ninja Turtles is the number 1 kids show in the UK at the moment.

This is just the coolest thing...I've died and gone to Heaven. I'm SO going to see this, it's unmissable, even if I might have to travel a bit. Turtles...big screen..uncut...*drools*

Usagi'sChick · 12-05-2003, 11:02 AM

Its been ages since I saw tmnt 1 & 2 on the big screen. Did they cut out a scene or 2 from the vhs? (I'm hoping to get the dvd set in a little while).

*Drtooth* · 12-05-2003, 11:32 AM

You know... I'm surprised they don't rerelease this to theaters state side... I mean, they are very popular and since the new cartoon and the movie are quite similar (the voices and personalities of the characters.. plus Casey Jones).

But knowing little kids, they'd go see The Cat in the Trainwreck... err... I mean Hat instead.

I've always wondered about the "heroes" thing... did they have to redubb or edit the action when in the show they reffered to them as the Ninja Turtles? I know they redubbed the theme song.
