There really is no competition to the 1st Film in TMNT cinema. They perfectly mingled the comic lore with the cartoon spirit, but a few shades darker. I wish more films based off of comics would follow this amazing lead.
The comic was dark and the cartoon was made to sell toys (with Playmates following the examples of Saban, Hasbro, etc.). Don’t get me wrong; Donnie was my nerdbro back in the day, but the franchise jumped the shark way early.
@@Rurne No it didn't clearly because the cartoon and the 1990 film are still the best and only true representations of the franchise on screen to this day. It didn't jump the shark till TMNT 3 and then the Michael Bay movies and now this new Seth Rogen one.
@@kendallrivers1119 tmnt 2003 is the most accurate to the original comics and is more similar in tone to the 1990 film than the 87 overrated toy commercial of a show
Elias Koteas is an amazing actor. As a kid I saw him in TNMT but as an adult I seen him in Exotica, Crash and The Adjuster. He is an incredible character actor. He is the greatest Casey Jones of all time, but he has done much, much more!
@@MilkyWayMarsBarWell, you have to consider the context. Splinter had just been killed, so I can imagine that Casey wasn't in the mood for joking around.
Really, who doesn't. They had a different atmosphere to it, a different vibe. It almost like they spent more passion in to these movies instead of more money
The scene at 0:45 was mine favorite. And Casey Jones' reaction when he and the couch he is sitting on fall to the floor with a loud bang, it seems as if he meant: 'Guys, what is this?'
I have scoured the internet to learn whether it was scripted or not. If it was, he absolutely nailed it. If it wasn’t, he still did a fantastic job of using it to develop the character. I tend to think it’s scripted based on the timing and framing of the shot.
Donnie and Casey trading alphabetical barbs and name calling is cute and sincerely the best way these two could bond... Casey can trash talk all day and Donnie likes word games, a match made in Ooze.
Funny as Raph's joke is, what makes it work for me is Casey's reaction at 0:07 . He's simultaneously recognising a good diss, and getting offended by it at the same time.
I was really hoping to see him beat Tatsu with that Driver club and say "I'll never call golf a dull game again", but you captured him at his best otherwise; well done
I think that TMNT should’ve planned their movies out better after this. TMNT(1990)was a perfect a movie and should never be altered the movie made sense and was a good homage to the Mirage Comics. TMNT Secret Of The Ooze should’ve really focused on The Krang as the main villains with this revealing the origins of the mutagen and how the turtles truly came to be, The Dr working at TCRI could be revealed as Baxter Stockman and during the final confrontation could be sprayed with the mutagen becoming a fly. The movie could conclude with the Turtles defeating The Krang but it would also reveal that Shredder had indeed survived his last encounter with The Turtles and Splinter and was seeking revenge revealing stolen mutagen. TMNT Part 3 would instead focus on the return of Shredder with this seeing the debut of Tokka/Rahzar and this movie would also see the death of Splinter who would sacrifice himself to protect his Turtles. The final battle would pay homage to the Mirage Comics as well with Leonardo decapitating Super Shredder in the end of the movie. Casey Jones could be added to either TMNT sequel but I think he should be presented in all three with the third movie showing a team up between Casey Jones and Raphael to take down some Purple Dragons who are aligned with The Shredder until they are jumped by The Foot Clan.
TBF, Prof. Perry was going to be an Utrom (some foreshadowing was present throughout the movie that would've revealed this), but the idea was scrapped out of concern that kids would mistake him for Krang (It wasn't certain if Krang was the cartoon equivalent to the Utroms or not since he was the only one of his kind.)
Both the scene where Casey Jones took out a Foot Soldier to go undercover, and the scene where CJ used the garbage truck that Shredder fell in to knock a few Foot Soldiers off a fire escape deserve to be featured here.
Or in appearing in the Denzel Washington thriller Fallen in 1998 as a serial killer also bald. He was one of the best actors on Chicago PD as Detective Alvin Olinsky
I love the cricket bat, you can tell casey jones is literally into every sport on the planet. Id love to see him smash someone with a polo mallet or a chuck a jai-alai ball or a tejo puck or some goofy shit like that.
None of the movies that followed even come close to this one. They actually brought the turtles to LIFE. Modern ones focused way too much on silly woke nonsense and CGI.
They wanted to make to the 2nd film more family friendly and replaced Casey with the character Keno (Ernie Reyes Jr.) who was created just for the film but brought back Elias Koteas as Casey and another character Whit in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 in 1993.

Tmnt as a kid Chicago PD as an adult
Don’t forget him in Shawshank redemption and in Stephen kings Christine
Elias Koteas is solid in everything he does, although sometimes I get him and Christopher Meloni mixed up.
He was in the sopranos too
@@invisibot6 He's the guy who broke into Stew Leonard's and stole all those pork loins
The way he said “Oops” before killing Shredder cracks me up
Could you imagine though? Sure, shredder is the bad guy, but casually crushing a man to death and not even feeling bad about it
the same thing happened in TMNT 2012, but instead Casey looks more serious instead of goofy, which makes it funnier
@@MilkyWayMarsBarWell, you have to consider the context. Splinter had just been killed, so I can imagine that Casey wasn't in the mood for joking around.
Best Casey Jones ever!!!
Also best TMNT movie!
miss the 80's and 90's movies 🍿🎥
Really, who doesn't. They had a different atmosphere to it, a different vibe.
It almost like they spent more passion in to these movies instead of more money
the "oops" has always been and always will be my favorite part :D
1:04 I almost spit up my iced tea seeing this scene I haven't seen in DECADES 🤣
Casey Anthony is Legendary!
Jones, lol.
@@MetroidHunter30001 Casey Anthony? Jesus....😂😂😂😂😂😂
Casey and Donny’s interactions are the best.
Casey Jones hilariously cracked me up so hard at 0:45 while eating his apple and broke a swinging chair. 😂😂
Was that a deleted scene? I had this on VHS and honestly don’t remember that at all.
@@patrickc3419 Nah, it was always in it.
The chair wasn't suppose to break but they loved Casey's reaction to it and decided to keep it in the movie
I think all of us did buddy 🤣😂🤣
Thank you, no thank you your welcome your welcome.
The scene at 0:45 was mine favorite. And Casey Jones' reaction when he and the couch he is sitting on fall to the floor with a loud bang, it seems as if he meant: 'Guys, what is this?'
I always thought the swing falling was unscripted, and that was his genuine reaction.

I tend to think it’s scripted based on the timing and framing of the shot.
You wanna talk about an actor who completely owned his role? That's Elias here.
He knocked it outta the park! 😅
Casey Jones automatically became my favorite character in this movie and it sucked he didn't get to kick some heads in the other movies.
Donnie and Casey trading alphabetical barbs and name calling is cute and sincerely the best way these two could bond...
Casey can trash talk all day and Donnie likes word games, a match made in Ooze.
Casey Jones was one of my favorite characters. Good guy vigilante, no power, no mutations. Accepts differences.
“A Jose Canseco bat?! Tell me, you didn’t pay money for this!”
A line which aged beautifully.
Casey jones the sports warrior
That OOPS! Is classic
1:23 gets me every time!
0:44 lol Casey broke the swing with a bite of apple.

That's pretty good. A nice flow.

"Coming along nicely"
*THUNK*
Best iteration of Casey Jones ever. 45 second mark 😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂
Elias is STILL the best Casey Jones, no question.
I never understood or noticed the claustrophobic joke until 30 years later when I had kids 😂
Casey Jones took inspiration from the turtles to move to Chicago & become a tough supercop under the pseudonym Alvin Olinsky.
OOOOPPPPPPSSSS
Both the scene where Casey Jones took out a Foot Soldier to go undercover, and the scene where CJ used the garbage truck that Shredder fell in to knock a few Foot Soldiers off a fire escape deserve to be featured here.
to think 8 years later in the thin red line. he'd be almost entirely bald
Or in appearing in the Denzel Washington thriller Fallen in 1998 as a serial killer also bald. He was one of the best actors on Chicago PD as Detective Alvin Olinsky
interesting, ill have to watch that@@scottknode898
I love the cricket bat, you can tell casey jones is literally into every sport on the planet. Id love to see him smash someone with a polo mallet or a chuck a jai-alai ball or a tejo puck or some goofy shit like that.
Omg every time I see that chain snap from that porch swing I always crack up 😅
1:05 LMAO
"I've never even looked at another guy before!" 😂
I like the Casey vs Tatsu it’s funny Great job recording it
It's a shame this guy didn't get more gigs in his career he was amazing in this movie
A little Primatine will clear that up.
Sleeper line right there. Hilarious.
Casey: At lest I know what she thinks of me.
*takes a bite from the apple, porch swing falls*
Casey: *to himself* What the hell?!
This movie might as well have been called Casey. He ended up doing way more than the turtles
saw this in the theatre!
As an adult you can just feel the "tension" between April and Casey. As a kid it went over my head.
Casey Jones beign iconic for 1:38 minutes
I thought he was Robert De Niro at first
The best 🤣
*CASEY KILLED THE SHREDDER! LOL!*
Yep
Ellias is a cool customer what a underated actor
None of the movies that followed even come close to this one. They actually brought the turtles to LIFE. Modern ones focused way too much on silly woke nonsense and CGI.
I want to be just like him when I grow up
he was funny as Casey
Casey Jones could probably beat up two turtles at once --- or three if he wasn't distracted by April
De Niro’s best role
I always wondered if the bench collapse scene was improv'ed.
It really felt like it, his reaction is so genuinely hilarious
@@darreylhenderson702I just came on a search for if it is or not, you're the only comment I've seen regarding it.
0:09
CIGARETTE!
When the porch swing fell that had to be off script and hilarious
Any reason he was absent in the 2nd movie?
They wanted to make to the 2nd film more family friendly and replaced Casey with the character Keno (Ernie Reyes Jr.) who was created just for the film but brought back Elias Koteas as Casey and another character Whit in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 in 1993.
Why does he look 2 drops like robert de niro ?
Ah, should a 9.95 _really_ go here? 😘
🙏🏾Casey J for MK12 or MK13🙏🏾
Imagine with Koteas' face and voice, damn that would be nice!
holy shit that would be sick
I don’t know what’s wrong with that bat, but it sounded like it burned.
…oops!
Casey was way cooler than keno.
0:33-0:40
0:45/0:46
1:05-1:15
1:16-1:22
❤🎉
Elf lips 😅😅😅😂😂😂
I'm starting to think Casey killed shredder on purpose
fighting Casey Jones near sporting equipment is just asking to lose
Casey Jones is a bit like Batman.
Cricket
Beat Casey jones
Casey says “Donny out with the others. Uh…exercising. They’re doin something. I don’t know.”. I say “if it had to do with a 🪅, Case?”. 😆?
“Oops!”
