Warners and The Weinsteins have T-U-R-T-L-E Power!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. My childhood geekiness is bubbling up something fierce right now. I grew up with the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES cartoons and movies. I even took Tae Kwon Do at Ernie Reyes' West Coast Tae Kwon Do in my younger days because his son, Ernie Reyes Jr., did some fight work on the first NINJA TURTLES movie (I think he was Donatello's fighting double). I hadn't seen him in RED SONJA at that point and Reyes Jr. ended up playing the pizza boy in NINJA TURTLES 2.
So, I'm keen on seein' this flick. My Ninja Turtles geek-out has no limit... I even saw the Turtles live in concert (The Comin' Out of Their Shell Tour). Beat that!
So, it seems that the long talked about CG NINJA TURTLES flick has nailed a pair of distributors. Warner Bros has it overseas and The Weinsteins are releasing it domestically, with a release date of March 30, 2007.
The flick is directed by Kevin Munroe from his own script, which was made under the watchful eye of original NINJA TURTLES co-creator Peter Laird. We've never really seen any straight adaptation of Eastman and Laird's original Turtles comics. It looks like that'll change by next March. Good news, Turtle fans!

IPAMPILASH Quint! I hope they aim the movie a little higher than a teen audience. Some humour for the adults, or even some well done action, so as not to dissapoint me and make me feel completely alienated, when I too revisit the memories of my bright green, toxic ooze covered childhood.

i grew up loving the turtles and i'm only 20.

COWABUNGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

...the next big vocal challange for Phillip Seymour Hoffman?
-
Reyes Jr. AND Sr.
-
By CG do you mean a Shrek style film, or live action with CG Turtles? The first option would work well, but if it's live action plus CG...I mean, the costumes STILL look great from the original film. I don;t like when people over use CG when there is no need to.
-
I wanted so badly to go to the Ninja Turtles concert. My friend got to. I grew to hate him. I really hope they spend some decent money on this movie. If the CG looks good, I'll be there. Hell, I'll be there if it looks crappy. I hope Ace Duck makes a cameo.
-
Elias Koteas as Casey Kones was awesome. When he comes to the Turtle's rescue when they were getting whooped by the Foot was the best moment in the film.
-
The sexiest thing my gf ever saw me do was when we were walking through Walmart and i saw Ninja Turtles trilogy and i picked up all three without even looking at the prices. She was like, "Dang wigger!!! I would've thought you were made of money!"
-
"Ah, the good old days"
-
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! IT IS THE GLORIOUS COMEBACK OF THE ONE AND ONLY VANILLA ICE!!!!! ICE ICE BABY!!!! COOL AS ICE!!!! SMOOTH!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW HIM!!!! HE'S DARK AND LONELY!!!! HE AIN'T NO ZERO - HE'S A HERO!!!!! GO ICE!!!! GO ICE!!!! GO ICE!!! GO ICE!!!! GO ICE!!!!......And thus, better see some turtle tit too! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!

I grew up on the cartoon series and action figures but nothing prepared me for the day I flipped through the pages of a Ninja Turtles comic book and saw the four heroes consuming lots of alcohol, cursing, cavorting around with half-naked women and killing people. It fucked me up, seriously. I'd love to see a grittier Ninja Turtles movie for the novelty alone.
-
I just can't see the logic in this. The new cartoon blows, and it doesn't have half of one percent of the popularity of the first. The only people who will see this are the masochistically nostalgic (count myself among them) and the morbidly curious. Unless Hell freezes over and it actually has an interesting story and a good look to it, this won't make any money, and I'm rather intrigued that Warner and Weinsteins believe otherwise.
-
I loved the Ninja Turtles growing up. They were my biggest post-He-Man obsession as a kid. He-Man still could kick the living shit out of the turtles, but I've maintained the soft spot I have for the green guys. I'm a pretty big fan of the first movie, which is a pretty big load of fun in a weird way, and I even dig the all-out wacky silliness of no. 2. I haven't seen the third (where the turtles travel back in time to feudal Japan) since it was in theaters, so all I really remember was that it pretty much sucked. Either way, ninja turtles are cool. I'm a little worried that the animation might suck on this, but if it's good, quality stuff, then we could have a really fun flick on our hands come next March. No matter what, I'll happily be in line on opening weekend.
-
yeah!
-
And for those asking. This is an all CG movie like Shrek. The official Web-Site is here... http://www.imagi.com.hk/movie/web/tmntm.htm
-
I smell a poll.
-
yeah, i saw them in concert too quint. did you get the album? i jammed out with the turtles so much back in elementary. i think the only cartoon music tapes i played more often were my simpsons tapes. mmmmm.... cartoonishly amateur cartoon blues songs
-
...I give up all my sadness to you. Really. You deserve to be sad. And yes, I am an ass.
-
Or a G.I.Joe??? DAMN YOU ROTHMAN!!!
-
Dude, I hope you guys don't think that this is news, cause Warner Bros and TWC released a press form about this like in June of 2005. Long time ago. Plus there were other developments concerning this project, including some tidbits that I sent to the site, but apparently TMNT wasn't deemed as cool news cause it never went up. anyway, I just hope its not a retread/remake. lol TMNT kick ass!
-
He has no idea whats he has coming to him working with bob the bully weinstein and Harvey Scissorhands. I just Hope that if woo is making this that he buys a huge Bunker, a baseball some body armour and maybe a tank.
-
If its an all CG movie, ever single kid will go see it--Dreamworks and Disney's Chicken Little proved they'll see anything in CG...
-
concept (and title) for anything, anyone has ever come up with. Pure genius.
-
Woo peed on my rug
-
Was that picture that was found a while ago proved to be a fake or what not?
-
Now, I haven't read the original comics... but I can't imagine a worse idea than a "gritty," humorless treatment of mutated turtles with ninja skills. It's already ridiculous. Plus, I'm pretty sure that the TMNT were possibly the worst fad of my lifetime, right up there with snap bracelets. I'm sad to see a revival.
-
I was the right age- middle school when the Ninja Turtles came out- but I don't know, I never connected with this thing for some reason. If it's a good movie though (that doesn't have any trace of Corey Feldman), I'll watch it.
-
Yeah, I got the tape Pizza Hut was giving away when the turtles became a rock band. I must say I was rather dissapointed though cause it was no where near as heavy as I thought it should have been. of course I was getting into Metallica at that point so put Out of Our Shells up against Master of Puppets and you tell me which tape you'd listen to more. Seriously though, is there really demand for a new TMNT movie? I don't understand it, y'know they were cool like fifteen years ago.
-
...material (NOT the Saturday mornign cartoon), this could be worth a go.
-
In 1987 that TV show was the shit!!! We need to get those prescious 23 episodes on DVD ASAP. Thanks for precipitating this nice AM flashback.
-
... ran the show at Miramax in the early nineties, there main competition as an indie distribution company was New Line, whose biggest success (financially) was the teenage mutant ninja turtles. Miramax were seen as a bit more edgy than New Line, then they were bought by Disney and now here we are. No one can call the weinsteins edgy again. Turtles? Fucking lame. Will they ever take a chance on a Tarantino or a Larry Clark again? Guess it is all about money now
-
The Last Electric Knight. In soviet russia, boards break YOU!!!!
-
from the late 80's and early 90's!! it makes me feel old!! even though i will probably go see this or buy it on DVD when released
-
are NOT canon? The comic book is the heart and soul of the Ninja Turtles. For Christ's sake, the original artwork that spawned the whole thing was an evil looking turtle wearing a trench coat, holding a tommy gun, or something like that. The only way this will be good is if it's based on the comics, cuz those stories were insane. Fucking robot ninjas that "CLANG? Did you say CLANG!?" "Dudes, nuts, they're ROBOTS!" Oh yes, I loved me my cartoons... until I saw the amazingly well painted, cleavage out to Sunday figure of April on the cover of a reprint of issue #2. Baxter Stockman... a fly? Fuck no, he was a pipe hittin' nigga bent on taking down New York from below with those Mousers! And April was his assistant! Not some fucking lame ass reporter! Blah. Anyways, if anyone wants to know the REAL Turtles and only had a fling with the Cowabunga bullshit, go find the four graphic novels that reprint the original story arcs. The first movie actually covered it quite well, even including the one-shot Raphael issue with Casey. And yes, Elias coming in to the rescue as him WAS the best part of that movie. I'm rambling cuz I'm giddy. Douchebag.. OUT!
-
or just the Turtles? You know what? Who cares. As long as this is as hardcore as the comics, I'm so there. DAMN YOU ROTHMAN!!!
-
Super violent. I had the second issue. It was black and white and in magazine form, kind of like the old Conan comics. Gritty and real. At one point they get their asses handed to them by the foot and are forced to leave new york. And I think it was leonardo that killed shredder in a great fight to end the original story arc. When the original craze hit, I was quite dismayed. I have waited a long time to see a tmnt project that kept with the original source material. Hazaa!
-
Cool kid, but my dad owned a karate school during the 80s, and ever since he saw Ernie Reyes Sr. and Jr. fighting against each other in "Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon", I was pretty much stuck with an example that was impossible to live up to. :)
-
as I was the time that I was on the LAST level of the TMNT 2 game and a Foot soldier just walked right off the screen... just Freakin' DISSAPPEARED! You can't move on to the next section unless you kill ALL the soldiers and he just said, "F This!" and left! Dang, it STILL pisses me off!
-
I just heard Chuck Norris will be Shredder. ;) DAMN YOU ROTHMAN!!!
-
maybe i have the wrong comic. it's titled "teenage mutant ninja turtles book IV" and says that it's by kevin eastman and peter laird. the story line is basically a portion of the story from the movie. it's a color book, and in mood and sense of humor it is exactly the same as the movie and cartoon series. it's maybe a *little* more violent, but not much. no swearing, no half naked women. all the turtles have red masks. if this is the original comic, i really don't see this big difference that everyone is talking about. it seems exactly the same as the cartoon and movie to me.
-
The Turtles on the show and in the comics are pretty much able to do moves that are nigh impossible, and guys in suits wouldn't be able to do half the shit they've done on the show or in the comic medium. They can give them that look of actually being mutated creatures, but still with human characteristics.
-
First the Transformers movie, now this? I have fond memories of mom driving me to Toys-R-Us on my birthday to get the Ninja Turtles sewer playset just like the next guy, but this is kid's stuff. Today's generation has thier own thing, and the only people going to see this will be overgrown man-children who can't let go of the past.
-
Thats the only way I'll see it, if there's Kill Bill style slashing and mangling and eyeball ripping... and at least 5 fart and/or poo jokes.
-
Ahh the TMNT arcade game, all the toys, I even had the TMNT original soundtrack (part one that is none of the RVW stuff: T-U-R-T-L-E Power!, 9.95, MC Hammer, etc) never saw part 3 though. I watched the new cartoon during its first season, some of it was decent. As much as I love this old stuff I am on the fence about a new CGI movie, I guess I will reserve judgment until I see some actual pics/footage.
-
A GI Joe movie is in the works at, I think, Paramount for Di Bonaventura to produce. If I remember correctly, Latino Review posted a script review (quite positive) not too long ago and if I wasn't lazy as fucking hell, I would copy and paste the link, but like so many things in life, you've got to do it yourself. ON WITH THE TURTLES: Wasn't John Woo supposed to direct this sucker? A few years back the man had several projects lined up (along the one about the chinaman who did build the fucking railroads, starring Chow Yun Fat) and this one, totally CG. Hope he is still on board in some capacity.
-
as a kid (im 22yrs old) but
I couldnt stoop so low as to actually physically step into a cinema and ask another living breathing human being for a ticket for "ninja turtles please" sometimes you gotta let these things go...(definately an amzon dvd purchase)
although if the teaser posters are anything to go by...the cgi work looks pretty shoddy+the turtles still look cartoony and have multi-coloured bandanas.
(I spose it would be difficult to watch a movie where the main characters dont have pupils and look identical but still...one for the kids I think)
-
Of course they're edgy - they're nothing but edges. Every edge sharpened to razor-like perfection, the better to slash the fuck out of other people's hard work. Selling your film to them is like sticking your hand into a blender set to puree. If you don't know in advance exactly how the situation will play itself out, you're a fucking idiot.
-
So, the real hardcore Ninja Turtles fans are around 22-24 years old now? Do kids watch the new ones nowadays? I can't even imagine it being as popular as it once was. Times were simple then. Elementary school kids all have cell phones now. wow...brings back memories doesn't it? The arcade game kicked so much ass. I must say, the TMNT movie still holds up pretty well. I think it's actually one of the best comic book movies ever made. You know, in the top twenty or so. Anyway, agree that the comics were very well done. Dark and violent. Should be interesting to see what they add as far as villans. I say bring in Baxter the fly scientist and Bebop and Rocksteady.

I was hoping that this was info that Warner Bros was picking up GAMERA THE BRAVE, coming out in Japan in April. Read more at scifijapan.com

TURTLE POWER: Heroes on a half shell, they're on a mission. When there's a battle got the enemy wishin' that they'd stayed at home instead of fightin' these ninja masters with moves like lightning. They used to be normal but now they're mutants. Splinter's the teacher so they are the students: Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello. Make up the group with one more fellow, Raphael. He's the leader of the group transformed from the norm by the nuclear goop. Pizza's the food that's sure to please these ninjas are into pepperoni and cheese. Back to the story it's not hard to find ninjas not only of the body of the mind. Those were the words that your master instructed, but a letter from Shredder says Splinter's abducted. That was the last straw. Spring into action. Step on the Foot, now they're gonna lose traction. ... I could go on. Gotta say I'm a little surprised that I remember the whole. Fucking. Song. I bet I could recite all of 9.95 as well. Those are brain cells used wisely.
-
from one dork to another I bow! I used to play the fuck out of that cassette, on my little sony walkman (when those were new ya know?) Not TMNT related but obscure soundtrack from the same era, I knew every song on the Ghostbusters II soundtrack as well. Can't remember much that I learned in high school but ask me any stupid game/movie/toy/sport/etc question from the late 80's/early 90's and I'll have an answer. Which reminds me they should make like a slacker/stoner/pop culture/dork version of Jeopardy for us geeks. Fuck ancient mesopotamian history, give me Hanna Barbera cartoons of the 70's for $1000 Alex

did anybody who ever saw COMING OUT OF OUR SHELL think
by lhombresiniestro
it was a little ironic for a title considering it was a musical and the costumes were fabulous? Not that there's anything WRONG with that.
-
The Cabbage Patch Kids are all grow up and now doing porn. Needless to say it's straight-to-video.
-
Strawberry Shortcake gets caught blowing The Peculiar Purple Pieman in Gargamel's castle. Azreal was not the only pussy stirred up that night!!
-
an grittier TMNT similar to the comics *MIGHT* be interesting, but you know they will never do it. it would only be a matter of time before some moronic parent who refuses to do their homework took their widdle biddy kids to see it thinking its a kiddy movie..then sue when they find out the harsh truth.
-
The first TMNT movie was based, albeit loosely, on the very first TMNT comic. You can find scans of it online, read up. I was surprised. It's not directly translated, but it involves Shredder (Aroko Saki's son in the comic) running a crime empire in New York, the Turtles bust it up, and they have a rooftop showdown in the end. Maybe it wasn't a "straight adaptation", but it was obviously based off the original comic, not the cartoon. And I'm fucking STOKED to see this CG movie. If the original creators are involved, it's not going to be kiddie fare. I remember reading that it's more of a sequel. The events of the first movie have happened, and, to a lesser extent, the events of the second. So it's kind of picking up where it left off. Wonder why they didn't do live action again. Jim Henson's Creature Shop could make even better costumes these days.
-
Was a graphic novel, a compilation of some of the later comics, pre-cartoon series, but the comics had already been around for a few years when that one came out. But I have that too and you're right, it's almost identical to the plot of the first movie. I think Quint is referring to some of the earlier black & white books that were a little bit jokier than the later ones. Does anyone remember when they teamed up with Cerebus? Weird shit.
-
That's what I was referring to. Maybe the rehashed it later, but the very first issue of the comic (black and white, a few thousand copies printed) was the one I described. I think tmnt.com or some fan site has scans of it. It was a year or two ago when I found it.
-
But If I was Kevin Munroe, I would Get the follwing items a bunker, body armour, baseball bats and a tank he will need all those items when dealing with bob the bully and Harvey scissorhands.
-
Ok...so the Hollywood Reporter article mentions nothing about rating, but the news of this on DarkHorizons says it will be a "PG-rated, slightly grittier version". How lame will that be?? What's the point of truly revisitng this if they're not going to go all the way? I say we need balls to the wall Eastman and Laird style, or this'll blow. Hopefully Garth is clueless on this one.....
-
but Biker Mice From Mars RULE !
-
Let's just keep recycling old crap so hollywood won't have to pay any real writers. Hooray! Let's have the turtles fight Pikachu and the rest of the fucking Pokemon while we're at it. Maybe CGI Scooby can make a cameo.
-
You know you want it.
-
WHE ARE WE GOING TO WATCH A MACROSS MOVIE? Instead of that we
-
I was just watching MACROSS: DYRL for the first time last night (yeah, 20 years late, I've got my finger on the pulse) and thinking the same thing, Plaz. Why Turtles and Transformers, but no Macross? OTOH, you know they'd screw it, just like they almost did with YAMATO.
-
That means hurray, or awesome, for you fucking ignoramuses (ignorami?) out there.
-
One thing is for sure: Its a croc!!!
-
Is it really time for another Turtle movie? There was a time and a place for those Turtles and that time has passed.
-
...for dorks.
-
--and I mean I adore it. One of the ten best films perhaps ever. The second retained all the coolness but not as much of the comedy, and the third...well...I liked it as a kid. But on to the main event: Ninja Turtle movie quotes! "Hey Raph, where you goin?" "Out to a movie -- that a problem wichyou?" ..... "Name's Casey Jones." "I don't wanna fight you." "Well, tough rocks, pal." "A Jose Conseco bat? Tell me you didn't pay money for this." "What are you a punker? Man I hate punkers. Especially bald ones with green makeup...and masks to hide ugly faces..." ..... "Hey! You're a claustrophobic!" "What? I've never even LOOKED at another guy before!" ..... "It's the news lady!" "Why'd you bring her down here?" "Are you crazy?" "Yeah, Leo, I'm crazy. Crazy, all right?" Why?" "Why? Oh, I dunno, why? 'Cause I wanted to redecorate! A couple throw pillows, a TV news reporter...whattaya think??" ..... "Why can't I ever dream of Harrison Ford?" ..... "I LOVE BEING A TURTLE!" ..... "115...and an 8th. Where the hell is 115 and an 8th?" "You're standin' on it, pal." "Ahh!" "Just slide the pizza down here." "Hey...this isn't enough, the tab's 13!" "And you're two minutes late, dude!" "Aw c'mon, I couldn't find the place!" "Wise man say: forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for a late pizza." "I gotta get a new route." ..... Ahh, brilliant. Plus it was one of Sam Rockwell's first movies, did you know that? Betcha I outgeeked most of you right there, heh heh. That'd be a first. But all those were from memory, by the way -- I'll be here all week, folks.
-
You messed up on some of those quite. It should be, "Hey, you want a fist in the mouth? I never even looked at another guy before.", "122 and an 8..." How's that for outgeeking? ;)
-
I used to get pumped, like the Turtles, when they were beating bad guys up in the dance club with Vanilla Ice playing in the background. Yikes. Super Shredder kicks ass.
-
I'll have to keep an eye out for the earlier comics.
-
the second is great in the same vain as Aliens compared to Alien. More action, not necessarily as aura intense. They really fucked up 3 though (even though they brought back Casey Jones, which kicked ass), they should have brought back Shredder, or Krang should have brought him back to life or something. The whole series was too much of a departure from the tv show, in many senses. Of course, it was better they played it more serious, but the original had such mind-blowing ideas and concepts. By the way, I STILL have my "Coming Out of their Shell Tour" video. It annoyed me back then that only Leo's and Splinter's voices were the same as the cartoons.
-

Of course, the new show has zero comparison to the old
by iamnicksaicnsn
stuff. The voice acting is often terrible, as is the music and sound effects. It's like they tried to get rid of the camp, and in the moment, they got rid of everything cool about the first show.
-
Is everyone gay these days? I guess we should have expected from the purple one, but Raphael. Blasphemy I tell ya, blasphemy. Just kidding, drive safe.
-
Geez, I thought you guys covered this ages ago. How about breaking a scoop on which villains will be in it? (I'm hoping for the uber-nerd Baxter Stockman of the original animated show).
-
Those stupid electric generators in the water would give me nightmares as a kid.
-
*squints, bites lip, sticks out thumb and says with raspy voice - "I feel your pain"
-
was like Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, and The Goonies NES games. Just impossible. I think the question remains why? They are based off of movies! They should be the easiest! I second the notion of never getting passed those damn electric generators! Not even with Leonardo, your best opinion. Then you're just left with Ralphael, whose sai's just plain suck ass.
-
Hell no. I hated that goddamn game! I never could figure out what the idiot designer was thinking when he wrote that game. Take a cartoon series featuring 4 ninjas, and turn it into this wonky sewer maze game. God, I could not beat that game! The controls were horrible, the swimming nigh impossible, and you never fought anything--just run in mazes, trying to beat the clock! And then add to it those nonsensical electric platforms that would zap your ass in seconds. But the arcade game, that was a whooole different kinda game altogether.
-
As long as it has some of the flavor of the original b&w comics I'll be stoked....dude.
-
Keep it like the comics. Blood, lots of blood. The first film rocked too.
-
Old school TMNT comics rock. The first movie was a great attemtpt to incorporate that spirit into the mainstream. They should follow that pattern but add some blood.

Would rule. DAMN YOU ROTHMAN!!!
-
I didn't mean to triple post but this board is BEYOND fucked up.
-
did the topic of sex ever come up? Yes I know Master Splinter probably hammered (heh) the medatation, cleansing the mind deal. But they were teenagers, not to mention hanging around that hot chick O'Neal all the damn time, it had to have come up at least once. Please tell me they didn't give up and go Brokeback Sewer? DAMN YOU ROTHMAN!!!
-
I seem to remember a cool character called the Rat King. If I'm wrong and he was in something else forgive me. Of course, Splinter is a rat. The movies are actually better than most people would admit. I love the second one because of the cool abandoned subway set and also the fact that David Warner is in it, which makes just about anything watchable. The third one where they somehow end up back in 16th Century Japan is perhaps taking things a little too far, but I still enjoyed it. Roll on the CG movie. They really need to do a straight adaptation of the comics and give it a dark flavour.
-
I agree, the first film very effectively interwove elements from Eastman and Laird's original comics with the show. Raphael was still the loose canon of the group, but there were some loose, funny moments to counterbalance the grit.
-
Yes, there was indeed a character called Rat King. If memory serves me right, he became an ally of the turtles after serving Shredder for a while.
How cool would it be to see Neutrinos in the film? Or Krang?! -
"At exactly (pant) what point (pant) did we lose control here?" "Maybe someone should explain to him that WE'RE the good guys." -- "I got another one!" "Oh no, not Cagney!" -- "Come back here! I'm not finished with you! (citywide shot) DAAAAAAMMMN!" -- "It's a Kodak moment!"
-
no really, i have no life.
-
One can only pray that they reteam the number one soul brothers Partners in Rhyme to do a reimagining of their seminal hit "Turtle Power", truly the anthem of the ages, rumbling the ghetto with the full fury of hiphop nation.
-
Haven't heard it since, but I still can remember the last verse of Turtle Power, in which Partners in Rhyme made a booboo: "Heroes in a halfshell they're on a mission. When in battle got the enemy wishin, they stayed at home instead of fightin'. These ninja masters with moves like lightin'. They were once normal, but now they're mutants. Splinters the teacher and they are the students. Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and Donatello, make up the team with one other fellow...Raphael, he's the leader of the group (!) transformed from the norm by the nuclear goop. When the turtles are around they're sure to please, these ninjas are into pepperoni and cheese. Back to the battle it's not hard o find these ninjas are usin' the power of the mind. Remember the words of your teacher, your master, evil moves quick, but good moves faster than light. For your illumination. Good vs. Evil = confrontation. So when you're in trouble and things start to go sour, just rely on YOUR...TURTLE POWER." DAMN YOU ROTHMAN!!!
-
the kids at school would speculate who the evil mutants would be in the second flick. They swore up and down it was Beebop and Rocksteady, it kind of reminds me of the Venom-Spidey 3 situation. :P DAMN YOU ROTHMAN!!!
-
Just saying...
-
GOOD GRAVY THOSE GAMES WERE IMPOSSIBLE! I never played Goonies 1 but if it was in any way similar to part 2 I would not have even tried it. Still to this day I would give a sufficient beatdown to the creators of those games if ever I had the displeasure of meeting them. Beware video game creators!......beware! (also off the subject the creator of the game Section Z will recieve a special beating for the stress he created in my youthful mind.)
-
"pizza's the food that's sure to please, these ninja's are into pepperoni and cheese." Cut me some slack, I haven't heard the damn song in like fifteen years. DAMN YOU ROTHMAN!!!
-
Um... ok... noy only do I have the VHS tour tape... I've got the cassette tape that Pizza Hut gave with special orders. Peace.
-
Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom make up the holy trinity of NES games that drove me insane. Nightmare on Elm Street, Beatle Juice and A Boy and His Blob are also way up there. Peace.
-
Two more impossible to beat NES games based on films. BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE consisted of using the phone booth to go back to the same three locations to look for items that are impossible to find, while BTTF II AND III was just insanely difficult.
-
That's right, bitches. Disarming the bombs around the dam, riding around in the truck... I overcame and dominated. As opposed to, say, learning a foreign language. Another NES game that I was the only one of my school to beat? Bionic Commando. Now THAT game fucking ruled. Especially when you made Hitler's head explode.
-
Fuck'n A! Hard as shit but so worth it! Peace.
-
Up north... down in the temple... that shit made me whimper. I was kicking that game's ass, then that shit put me in my place. Peace.
-
Took me forever to beat Bald Bull and Super Macho Man--only to get my ass handed to me by Tyson. I think I was only able to beat it once or twice
-
that the NES Back to the Future trilogy was insanily difficult. Worst game developers ever. Oh, and Tyson was a bitch to get past. He would punch you once and knock you the fuck out. You had to have some serious NES controller skills for that guy.
-
I actually did beat Goonies 2 several times. I distinctly remember beating it one time after I got sent home in elementary school because 2 high school kids jumped a fence during recess, started picking on one of my friends, I went to stop them and they started pounding on me. Of course, when I got home, I just started playing because I never had anything better to do, and my next door neighbor, who was in the same school, came over to check on me, and there I was with a black eye winning that game. I did manage to beat clash at demonhead, but had no luck on turtles although i did manage to make it to the last level once in the approximatley 200 times I played it. There were just way too many damn difficult games, like Z section whoever mentioned that, there were essentially "Gelatinous cube" games that were made to make money and really not be beatable. But once I got my game genie, I could really start to kick some ass :)

I got past the electric generators once, then promptly died in the next stage. I wanted to cry. That game was beyond frustrating.

I've been a fan of the TMNT for about 20 years (the comics have been around since May 1984). I saw the original 3 movies in theatre but unfortunatly never saw em in concert because I was living in Germany at the time. But I do have all their songs (believe it or not but that first album they made went Platinum...scary aint it?). I love the current toon because it's so dark and many of the eps are based on the comic series (Vol 1, Tales of the TMNT Vol 1, and the current Vol 4). I for one can't wait to see this film! It's all CGI BTW...I haven't heard who they got to voice the characters but hopefully they'll either have the cast of the current series or somebody good...Grey De'Lisle (the current voice of Daphne Blake) is rumored to be involved in it as possibly the voice of April.

Lee Van Cleef owned Ernie Reyes Jr. 'nuff said. The only thing going for Sidekicks was that Buck Rogers was on it...along with about 40 extra pounds.

a close second was SuperMario Brothers 3. God I loved Hammer Brother Mario.

Obvious, yet it had to be said.

Not only did I see it live, I also had the tape! Goddam, lousy Shredder stole all the world's music, but enough was left for some powerful works of genius (note:sarcasm). Anyone else remember late nights of singing "I'm Skipping Stones" and defending your heterosexuality at age eight???
-
the one where there are two Shredders at the end...or was that two?

Everyone knows, TMNTIV:TURTLES IN TIME (SNES) was where it was at! DAMN YOU ROTHMAN!!!

For those that missed this in my earlier post...

even WITH the Game Genie. what the fuck was the goal in that game? it was as dumb as ET for Atari. also, it would be cool if the Turtles went into that other dimension where they fight the giant Triceratops dudes. i believe that was the second major story in the comics. the one that freaked me out was a Rick Veitch issue where they went swimming and got attacked by a giant leech.

Vanilla Ice reprises his appearance from Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze.
"Lyrics, fill the gap. Drop that bass and get the Ninja Rap. Feel it, if you know what I mean. Give it up for the heroes in the green!" -
Dont deny it

And this is uh, the penalty. Two minutes for slashing, two minutes for hooking, and let's not forget my personal favorite, two minutes for high-sticking.

yo, here's donatello, even for a turtle, he's mellow, it's simple, its simple what makes him greeeen, just give him anything, give him anything, give him anything that you plug in, if its got to do with a chip or a bit, energy that just wont quit now, when we started we had no choice, we needed something to help our voice, we went to work and developed a plan, now we're makin music for all our fans, the hooks and chimes to the wizzes and bells, helpin each of us to come out of our shells....out-geeked perhaps?

First of all I never beat the very first NES game. It was a BITCH!!! Besides, the second game based on the arcade was more fun and the third, The Manhattan Project, was a worthy follow up. Turtles in time was my favorite. ANyone remember being able to toss a foot soldier toward the screen? Mode seven, rocked back in the day, baby. Want a hard game to beat? Castlevania. That fucking grim reaper is next to impossible. I only beat the game 10 years after I bought it. Another hard game to beat. MOTHERFUCKING RYGAR!!!! That is one that will only be beaten by the BEST!! Back to TMNT. I was a big time fan with the comics. It was an eye raising discovery when I read the originals, with the killing and Shredder "dying". I hope the new films follow suit somewhat. Anyone see Ernie Reyes Jr. recently? That fucker is ripped!! His fight scene at the beginning of TMNT 2 was awesome. The third movie sucked the balls off a donkey. They had this asian bitch with a bow and arrow but she never shot anybody. WTF? Plus I think the baddie was the guy who played Lao in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. To go from that to this was a shame. One more thing, shouldn't it be called Thirty-something Mutant Ninja Turtles now?

Love that game. It's funny who it seemed so hard, yet it's really easy once you know what to do. Ok, I know that sums up a lot of games, but that's really how you feel with MM. I miss adventure games. Some survival horror plays with the ideas of them, but all and all they just don't make'em like the used to. Peace.

I loved and adored Lucasfilm games. I could never finish Maniac Mansion but I loved the sequel and of course I played all Monkey Island and even have the uplayable escape from Monkey Island. The first 4 are genius.
Hey Lucas for your next franchise why not give us a pirate called gybrush, some monkies and a dead zombie pirate. Cool! that would kick Bruckheimers ass and would make Lucasfil gamers very happy as long as they give a barring order to bollshitartist and kill Paul Thomas Anderson.

Blame the monkeys... they were raped by devil rats and spawned zombies and flammers. Peace.

"you can count on us!"
And here I thought seeing that concert at Radio City Music Hall was just a really fucked up memory that I hallucinated after years of drug use. Good to know that I wasn't the only one who remembered that. As for this new movie, well Ninja Turtles took hundreds of dollars worth of allowances from me so my pay back is to never give any TMNT property money again. Unless it's a reprint of the original comic books. P.S. Maniac Mansion owns your soul. Nothing beats nuking a hamster in a microwave and giving it back to it's owner, nothing.
