Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze is a 1991 martial arts superhero film based on the superhero ninja team Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), it is the second theatrical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film and the second installment in the original trilogy.
There was also a lot of behind the scenes changes and a shift in tone that helped make Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze not as much of a success as the first, sitting right at the edge of failure.

Don’t care what anyone says, “A little too Raph” is the height of comedy.
My friends & I say that to this day.
Hell yes that line will never fail to make me laugh my arse off.
It was like the best joke of the movie
I, like many others, still say this to this day...
I still use that line. Lmfao
Kinda heartwarming that the producers accused Judith Hoag of being a pain and not wanting her back, yet she was the one who took it upon herself to organize A 30th anniversary reunion for the film
Well she never had to deal with the biggest pain on the film, did she?
I've always found it amusing that the only turtle allowed to use his weapon was the one whose weapon is the easiest to duplicate. Most kids will never see a sai, but any kid can swing a big stick. Feels counterproductive to their goals.
@Dennis McConnell Are you daft, Dennis?
Never underestimate the stupidity of a committee of any kind
It’s not so much the ease of duplication, as it is ease of safe use. It possible to play fight with a stick but nunchucks (the other “safe”, or “non lethal” weapon) are actually very difficult to use and very easy to generate lethal force with. (Also very easy to generate lethal force to the back of the head of the actual person who is using them wrong)
The bladed weapons are more simple: they had blades and using real versions of them would mean blood in the movie.
@@redacted5035 they could've told you, that you can unscrew it. That's bad parenting. Lol
As a Donatello fan, I had a pretty decent bo staff for a kid that lasted through many years of destroying enemy foliage. For my friend who liked Leonardo we broke off part of a metal rooftop antenna that had a workable hilt, then hammered the hollow shaft flat for a blade. For sais we found triforked tree branches and cut them at the right lengths. Never did make nunchucks though...
For something they cobbled together, the look and expressiveness of Tokka and Rahzar to this day is incredible. These animatronics made the CGI monsters that replaced them seem crude by comparison.
Henson's Creature Shop could half ass something better than most peoples best. Amazing designers and puppeteers.
sorry I disagree they both looked terrible even as a kid I seen how bad they looked
@@hate4sjws529 Found the Rat King
@@hate4sjws529 Sorry I disagree with you. For the technology available at that time, they did an amazing job.
AMEN 🙏💯💯💯
"A little too Raph" is something that sticks with me to this very day.
I use that line as often as possible any time someone says, "It's a little too (insert whatever here)." I am exceedingly happy there is another person out there this line stuck with.
My wife and I say “Yeah Ye Yeaaaah, weekly
The interesting thing about the tagline “The Secret of the Ooze” was that when they found out their mutation was an accident Donatello was very upset that there wasn’t something special to their origin…flash-forward to the 3rd movie they go back in time almost 400 years to feudal Japan to find a scroll that foretold 4 turtle kappa would appear to defeat the Daimyo. Had that movie been better written they could have used this as a call back to the turtles search for understanding their origin and their purpose but instead it was essentially swept under the rug.
Reminds me of another, much more recent, movie trilogy where the creators weren't all on the same page.
Despite the glaring flaws in this movie about swearing and weapons, it DOES introduce Super Shredder. And he's in both TMNT 3 on Nes and TMNT 4 on Snes, my favorite 2 turtle based videogames.
I remember an arcade/SNES one that did co-op mode, now that was a great game
Yeah it introduces Super Shredder, but they never even fight him. He just pops up, flails around for like a minute at most, and kills HIMSELF with the terrain.
I remember as kid preferring this to the first but as an adult realising the original is far superior. I still hold a soft spot for it in my heart but that is nostalgia for ya!
yeah I think that was pretty universal
Same here. I still like the second one, but the first one is a much better movie and still holds up today.
Same
Yeah I kinda still feel the same.
I remember preferring the 1st because 2 was scary, what with the new monsters and all
As a kid I always felt like tokka & rahzar should have been bebop and rocksteady, nothing beats the first movie and even tough there was a lot more restrictions on this one it's still an enjoyable nostalgia movie 😀
I always assumed that the movie's budget could handle the maintenance and care for a live rhinoceros and warthog (as compared to a baby snapping turtle and wolf pup). It makes just as much sense for the studio to want original mutants for licensing purposes.
@@Quintesson05 i get why they wanted new characters but 😜 it felt weird knowing the cartoon its supposed to be the rhino and hog
I feel ya but, I always thought Tokka should have been Slash. It was a missed opportunity either way though. Tokka's personality as a strong, lower intelligence mutated baby turtle matches up with Slash's and the only thing missing was Slash's "binky" (that little palm tree). 🌴 Let that sink in a minute.
@@stevenslouber4947 indeed 🤘😁
Yeah I remember being disappointed it wasn't Bebop and Rocksteady. I would still like to see an artist rendition of what they would look like if they were to be included.
Turtles II and Ghostbusters II were the first films that my child eyes recognized as being "off" in some way and my young 8 year old brain knew these sequels were not nearly as good as originals but my kid brain couldn't articulate that feeling
I was 14 when Ghostbusters 2 came out, even leading up to the film you could sense something was going to be wrong with it.. that year was pretty packed with tons of other big films (Lethal Weapon 2, Batman, Indy 3) so the fact that it felt like a whimper compared to the 1st was even more pronounced.
i agree. those two were my lessons in sequels being inevitably worse. then i saw terminator 2
I remember feeling exactly the same way!
I was a kid when this came out, and I just remember being confused as to why they didn't use Bebop and Rocksteady as the bad guys. I dig Tokka and Rahzar, but Bebop and Rocksteady would have been way cooler to see.
Everybody felt that way. They had licensing issues with the cartoon and action figure companies, didn't want to pay for them.
Great soundtrack. I still remember blasting it nonstop while walking around the neighborhood with my boombox on my shoulder.
I loved those Hostess Turtle pies!! Green icing on a pastry, and filled with super sweet custard. So sweet all the kids, (me) at the bus stop, flung half of it on the side walk to avoid a stomach ache at school.
"And next time I'll use MUSTARD!!!" is one of my most quoted movie lines for reasons unknown
Honorable mention to "BABIES!! THEY ARE...BABIES!! AAARRGGHHH!!!"
2 of my favorites but who can forget "COMBAT COLD CUTS!" and "THE MISSING LINK!" lmao
"We brought insurance!" "Yeah Mutual Splinter dude!!"
There are so many... I like: "a little too Raph", "wax-on wax-off mouth off!", "I wonder what those are fooor...", "I never got to see Paris!", ... XD
"You want a pickle I'll give you a pickle!!!"😂
I say that all the time.
In high school, a bunch of friends and I cut class and decided to head to the theaters to see New Jack City. I on the other hand convinced them that we should see Secret of the Ooz instead. From that day till the remainder of high school I had to wear that scarlet letter.
Man, I remember being obsessed with all 3 movies as a kid, never occurred to me that 2 was any less great than 1. I was obsessed with that vanilla ice dance fight scene.
I was ten years old when this movie came out and I actually thought it was more fun than the original. Then again, I came into the franchise via the cartoon rather than the comics, so my idea of what the turtles should be was more fun than dark and gritty.
I'm old enough to have been a Turtles fan from the first issue, before it was "cartoonized", and loved how the first movie straddled the line between the more mature books and the kid-friendly stuff.
This one?
Not so much.
I was 8yrs old/almost 9yrs old when this came out, so I was the target audience. Never really noticed that the turtles didnt use their weapons until many years later. 😅. I loved the movie because Super Shredder, Toka & Razar, Vanilla Ice, and that opening credits sequence with all that beautiful NYC pizza!
Super Shredder was the coolest villain next to Darth Vader!
My friend went to a Vanilla Ice show and they heckled him until he sang "go ninja go ninja go."
@@patrickaker4380 Super Shredder was professional wrestler Kevin Nash
@@SomeGuy1234X Vanilla Ice still to this day is a huge TMNT fan.
I never noticed either as a kid. I was 12 when this came out.
Looking back, how did I not notice that they NEVER use their weapons while fighting?
Because they made it look like the turtles were just having fun when they used salamis or punching dolls or whatever... it FELT like they were fighting and having an action moment. They did a decent job covering it that way.
Being raised by young parents on horror movies, I remember still thinking, "I don't think I could imagine Leo or Raph strait up STABBING some foot soldier kids." I had no idea about the comics at the time.
I remember reading a comic (not the original ones) where they encounter the FootClan for the first time, and started punching and kicking. They then realise they are fighting robots and shout something like, "hey! We can use our weapons now!"
Same reaction here. Watching it as a kid I never noticed, but when I watched it again as an adult it’s glaringly obvious ahah.
"Cold cut combat!" Mickey's nunchucks.
Judith Hoag is the best April O'Neil ever.
She really nailed that role.
I saw this movie in the theater & while I remember enjoying it, it was also the last nail in the coffin of my TMNT fandom. I was aging out of it & just seemed too "kiddy" to me. RIP childhood.
I’m 44 and still love tmnt
All I remember of the sequel was the Vanilla Ice cameo with _"Go Ninja, go Ninja, go...!"_ As a UK resident, we had 'Hero Turtles', with the edited intro, and scenes featuring Michaelangelo holding nothing during fight scenes. The films did use 'Ninja' in the title. Away from the subject at hand, Bruce Lee's iconic Nunchaku scene from 'Enter the Dragon' was banned from all media up over here until the 2000's.
The UK went full-on stupid during that time. _Teenage Mutant "Hero" Turtles_ is such an asinine change that it makes me want to spit down at it with contempt.
@@JanetStarChild Yep, indeed. The word 'Ninja' considered 'too violent'...? WHAT? I recall a story about a kid who put his foot through a glass patio door, and the show was blamed for that incident.
I grew up with the turtles I watched the show live as it aired, I saw the 2nd and 3rd movies in theaters as they released, I had one of the turtles steel lunch boxes, I had pajamas with the turtles on them I even had one of the halloween costumes and multiple toys of them. That was a great time to be a kid.
I think the first movie did a great job balancing the comic side and lighter side. Imagine what it would of been like if the parents didnt get involved in the second one.
That's what led to Batman Forever
"Sequel Turtles in time" Sigh... TMNT 3 was not called that
I remember stories of kids trying to go down into the sewers to find the turtles. This problem needed to be dealt with by the parents.
We would be shown the movie IT. And it worked
This movie is the ultimate guilty pleasure. And the soundtrack features Cathy Denis. Can't beat that.
I was 10 and remember the theatre was packed, turtle power! Such an awesome time
"Turtles in Time" was never the official title for TMNT III. People get confused because of the videogame.
Holy shit you're right 😳😳😳
AVGN taught me that.
The sequel is goofy as hell, I don't think anyone can deny it, and the original is a much better movie overall. But I still love TMNT 2 just the same. It still has the greatest joke in cinema history:
"It's quiet"
"Yeah, a little TOO quiet"
(Don sneaks up on patrolling foot soldiers and knocks them out)
"That was easy!"
"Yeah, a little TOO easy!"
(The turtles approach the middle of the junkyard and spot Raphael tied up)
"Look, it's Ralph!"
"Yeah, a little TOO Ralph!"
Tell me that's not the most amazingly clever exchange you've ever witnessed in a film?
I do love that! I used that joke for things for years to come and only some select few understood the origin.
Hate to be this guy but...
*Raph
"Raph"
There's only one L in Raphael
@@Kenny-wr3ky hahahha
Love that line. My favorite in the movie.
How does everyone think the third film is literally called Turtles in TIme??
I dont care why, its just disconcerting that so many dont recall that that was an arcade game, and TMNT 3 Had No Subtitle
I know, right?! I was saying to myself when I heard that, "that's not right".
It's very weird. I got a DVD set of the movies in around 2009 that has "Turtles in Time" printed on the cover for 3. Even people involved with an official DVD release just assumed that was right without checking, I guess?
Found it funny because never noticed it until another channel pointed it out but the 3rd movie is only called TMNT 3, Turtles in Time is the SNES game but the movie VHS had a tag line saying "The Turtles are back... In Time" which probably helped the Mandela Effect.
The second movie was definitely a drop off for the kids growing up the turtles. That's when we realized the movie was for "the fans" but for as many consumers as possible, all at the tender age of 12 lol. The video games, especially the arcade edition, kept us going like the comics. For those that don't know, truly missing out if you didn't catch the last ronin.
Same here bro. I hated this film at first and went back to playing the games. I think the cartoon had gotten wack at this point as well. Each season was weaker than the preceding one.
Props to flippin the beginning of "A Tale of Two Cities" into something sensible for this!! As a Leonardo fan as a kid, I was definitely disappointed about the lack of weapons use in this one, but still enjoyed it overall.
This movie has a special place in my heart because of the age I was when it came out and how much I loved the Ninja Turtles and the first movie. I saw this movie in the theaters with my best friend and I had so much anticipation for it I bought the novelization of it and the comic book version of it and when I watch the movie I absolutely loved it. At the time fourteen-year-old me liked Vanilla Ice also. I'm sure I watched it on home video quite a few times hadn't seen it until last year it came across the streaming service and for shitz and Giggles I decided to turn it on and I realize that kids have no idea what's good LOL. The scene in the beginning where the pizza delivery kid beats up the guys robbing the place is one of my favorite things and I wanted to be that kid. But man this movie did not hold up over time. Some movies stay good forever and some movies are bad two years later and this is one of those. But I cannot stress enough how much I love this movie and how much I loved the Ninja Turtles has a whole. I wouldn't go back to being a kid again but the memories of the way I felt when I first watch this movie and how much I loved the pizza delivery guy beating up the bad guys before the Ninja Turtles come in used to give me shivers. I was a shy fat kid and I always wanted to be some kind of ninja secret agent Ladies Man even though I was always just watching movies and playing by myself LOL
That brief moment in time when Vanilla Ice was considered the coolest person in the world. So brief it didn't last in time for the movies release
When was that? Maybe its because I've never liked rap, but that was nails on a chalkboard for me.....I was busy listening to things like Metallica around then but Ice, Ice Baby was always awful and he stole a Queen song for the beat.
@@lutherheggs451 He was always awful, but the teen magazines were calling him the coolest
@@michaellombardi1620 he was Cool as Ice lol
@@brookswilliams5239 Ice melts pretty quick
@@michaellombardi1620 that was actually a reference to a movie he starred in
As a seven-year-old, I loved the sequel and thought it was so much more fun and upbeat that the original. As I grew older, I realized that the first one had a much better story overall but I still have a fondness for the schlock of the sequel.
And part three really isn't that bad. It gets the same unjust hatred as the third "Back to the Future".
as a fan of puppetry 3 is physically painful to watch compared to the joy of the first 2
Part 3 killed my tmnt soul and will never get over Leo having tennis racquets
You were onto something until that last part. TMNT 3 is unwatchable and killed the franchise
The third Back to the Future movie is great and in a different class than these movies (yes, even the first one, which I love). I think that a lot of times, people just dog the third film in a trilogy because they resent it being over.
@@WaitingtoHit yes, as in the not quite as good as TMNT class
I just literally re-watched this movie last night.(I had a FEW drinks) lol. I love the first TMNT (1990) movie and am nostalgic for Secret Of The Ooze.
A few drinks is the key to enjoying the movie properly
One thing I never see anyone mention about this movie is Shredder's poses.
In most scenes he's in he's in one of his iconic poses from the original cartoons.
For example, in one shot when they're all in the junkyard, they cut to Shredder and one arm is by his side with a clenched fist and the other arm is pointing.
I never noticed this as a kid when the film released but only noticed it about a year or so ago.
Really cool throwback to his iconic poses.
I was definitely in that camp, where as a kid, I really loved the 2nd film way more, mostly because it was goofier and silly. As I got older, the 1st film became WAY more appealing and interesting to me thanks to the grittiness, realism and more adult humor and violence here and there. Though, even as a kid, I hated that 3rd film.
I'm starting to think the real secret of the ooze is that "Turtles in Time" was only the subtitle of one of the games, not the third movie. But that's something that's kept on the down-low among fans, so you didn't hear it from me!
"I don't like you watching those violent turtles, Billy. Go watch your Rambo or Robocop cartoons instead. "
I can still remember waiting the weeks and weeks for it to be available on VHS then finally getting it. It was like Christmas to me.
Holy crap! Left the comment before I watched the whole video. The fact that the VHS holiday commercial break happened is perfection!
As a proud owner of the Neca Tokka & Rahzar set I endorse this video. I love TMNT 2 and honestly prefer it to the original. The original is still good for sure but IDK SotO just spoke to me more.
Ditto. SotO is like a 90 minute long party, start to finish; guaranteed fun.
Really~ looking forwards to the third movie being covered, truth be told.
Loved it as a kid, but man, what a strange movie if you aren't ten and blinded by turtles.
Seeing it as a kid- the feeling hit me hard, knowing I was no longer a TNMT diehard fan. Luckily the Power Rangers helped the shock a bit.
There are still people who try to attach the Turtles in Time subtitle to that movie even though it NEVER was ever called Turtles in Time....To the point that some of the like 2015 blu-ray releases have actually also tried to stick that subtitle in there.
@@lutherheggs451 yes! I just commented on this video wrongly saying “Turtles in Time” as well!
Turtles in Time was an arcade and console game and was awesome. Turtles 3 is a disappointing mess. (Sorry Matthias, no offense intended.)
@@lutherheggs451 Yeah, as an OG that has grown up with all 3 90s live-action films, that fact has ALWAYS bugged me..
The Angry Video Game Nerd covered Turtles III. He did an extremely thorough job of it.
I remember watching this movie a lot when I was a kid... And for the life of me, I can't remember a single thing about this movie, except for maybe the final scene with Super Shredder. The costumes still look pretty darn sick though, Jim Henson's creature designs are absolutely timeless.
Even as a 10 year old, I remember being let down at the sudden shift in tone. It was around the same time the TMNT cartoon replaced Mikey's nunchucks with a lame grappling hook. And that pissed me off cause Michaelangelo was my favorite.
Oh yeah! I'd completely forgotten about the grappling hook...
While I feel like the original 1990 movie still holds up really well with its more serious tone, Secret of the Ooze definitely falls into the "so bad it's good" category. As a kid back then, it was one of the greatest pieces of cinema ever, but even today I can watch it and always get a few laughs.
Hi Dan and Crew, German here. I grew up with the "Hero Turtles" all the way into my teens til i picked up the OG Eastman and Laird run in English and got very confused. And fyi: "3 ninjas" was called "Ninja Kids" in germany, the "American Ninja" movies were known as "American Fighter" over here (Michael Dudikoff 4ever ❤❤❤) and Surf Ninjas was called.... Surf Ninjas.
Hope that helps, love from Germany
NOW PLZ DO AN EPISODE ON WINSPECTOR ALREADY!!!!
🇩🇪🫡🤜🏻🤛🏻
Decent sequel. Not on the same level as the first film but you know, it's ok.
And after watching the 3rd, I got more appreciation for the 2nd
Well said
Well it helps Secret of the Ooze seem better after that god awful third film.....
@@curbydinobot8633 two wrongs don't make one right.
One problem. Its not okay. Its terrible.
I actually still have that vhs of this movie and the first one along with a working vcr to play them on, and they both play pretty well til this day!
I loved the snapping turtle. When I was younger I didn’t even notice that they never used their weapons (and I’m pretty sure they didn’t even punch or kick anyone. Maybe Keno did?). I was disappointed that they recasted April; not because I loved Judith , but I just didn’t like the inconsistency.
I loved Paige turco as a kid but as an adult in all about Judith Hoag
The inconsistency is what matters. As a kid I was *always* able to tell when they changed voice actors on cartoon characters and it always bothered me.
Point of order: TMNT 3 was not subtitled "Turtles in Time." That was the name of the SNES game released in 1991.
When I got older it dawned on me like "wait a minute, they never do tell us the 'secret' of the ooze"
As a kid I always liked this movie way more than the first one. I was around 10 years old when it came out, and at that age, Tokka and Rahzar were way cooler than anything that had been in the first film, so I instantly rated this one higher. As an adult, I recognize the first movie is just a better movie, but if you ask me "which TMNT movie is the best" my reflexive answer will still be "Secret of the Ooze, of course."
I wanna see the Turtles Music Career covered in the future.
So much Cheese.
The Cheese will never be fully cleaned
People can say what they want about TMNT II, but I Friggin' love it! Yes, we know the parents wanted the film less violent, but we got some hilarious gags, cool new baddies and a Friggin Super Shredder! Jim Henson would be proud to see how vast the puppeteering techniques has improved and the fantastic array of details in each costume!
Yet they screwed over the Henson company when the made the third and actually believed the company who told them their suits would be better.
@@lutherheggs451 whose 'they'? I'm just speaking about my love of TMNT II. Also we all know the horrors of TMNT III; they're the worst! Man those turtle suits were abysmal.
@@LowellLucasJr. even Casey Jones couldn't save it...
@@napoleonwilson6499 makes me cry Casey got wasted in a crappy film...damn parent groups...he shoulda been in 2!
Born in 87, I loved Turtles 2 and Predator. Wore those tapes out man 🤣🤣
I got this movie on VHS for my birthday and watched it on repeat, I was obsessed. To the point of having the trailers before the movie burned into my brain as well.
When the original TMNT Movie came out I was 4 years old and I LOVED. So much so that my mother bought me the VHS Tape of it so I'd stop renting it. When TMNT2 came out a year later, even as a then 5 year old TMNT2 felt like an inferior film. I didn't watch it anywhere near as much at TMNT even though all the changes were to appeal to kids my age. That said, the Movie Poster for TMNT2 is incredible, that glowing ooze and the green, man the only way I can explain it is that it's a spiritual experience.
Can confirm that the 3 Ninjas movie title wasn't changed in the UK. The change of Ninja to Hero in the cartoon theme song was as awkward as the change in the graphics too
4:11 oh how that takes me back. That could easily have been me in that shot.
Same 😅😅
I was a kid when this first came out and LOVED IT. Much more than the first. I also jumped around kicking my parent’s furniture. That ending with Vanilla Ice was a blast. I had it recorded on VHS from NBC’s movie night, but my sister recorded over the end for the Mariah Carey early 90’s Christmas special. I finally saw the full end about 5 years ago. Ah memories.
The best thing this movie gave us was The Super Shredder and while he didn't last very long in the movie,it was an amazing design that did lead to his awesome re-design in the 2012 series.
I'm actually watching Secret of the Ooze right now(also watched the first one before it), 50 minutes in at the junk yard where the guys are trying to save a tied up Raphael
Loved Secret of the Ooze. I remember our local tv station made a big event of it at one of our local theaters sponsored by Fox Kids Club, complete with an appearance by Homey D. Clown LOL ( he was actually one of my classmates dad that worked for the tv station ). I always saw ths first as an adaptation of the Mirage comics and the second as an adaptation of the cartoon and loved them both. And the soundtracks were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ( I still bump them to this day ). Third movie was Hot Garbage though. My favourite turtle movies are as followed ;
TMNT 1990
Turtles Forever
Secret of the Ooze
TMNT 2014
Great video as always Dan.
I have fond memories of this film and still watch it with an ear-to-ear smile to this very day. A lot of people sour on it because of how goofy and cartoony it is, but that's how I took it: A loose adaptation of the cartoon. Hell, a LOT of the younger generation love to skip it or diss it to look cool, and that's not fair. It's decent, it's lighthearted, and if watched right after the first, feels like a feelgood side story to that narrative.
As a kid, I enjoyed this immensely, even going to Pizza Hut right after. Yeah, I managed to have an amazing experience going to see it, so I'm biased towards it. But even if, TMNT2 is one of those films that everyone could agree, "understood the assignment": It's a fun marketing showcase popcorn flick that could've, and should've, been the epic big-budget follow up the Ninja Turtles deserved.
All I know is that if any semblance of TMNT2 ever comes on TV, and my parents are around, they smile. That's enough validation for me.
Shit I'm already nostalgic about the idea of "going to pizza hut". Like back when stuffed crust was new and they had pool tables
@@ReverendMeat51 Oh man, I totally forgot that Pizza Hut used to have pool tables! Going to pizza hut and playing arcade games was the best as a kid, especially when my pizza hut had the 6-player X-men Cabinet
I grew to appreciate it,but hated it at first.
I finally got to finish watching this.. on friday 4/15 my dad suddenly died from a massive heart attack at 63 years young. My dad would wait on line at kb toys to get me new turtle toys and new when the truck was coming he spoiled the shit out of me with everything from tmnt to batman to star wars legos etc but i loved secret of the ooze and he had bought me a super shredder figure that i just loved the most. Saturday I went to the mall to clear my head and was walking to the end of a hall and on the wall were 2 paintings of bulldogs, he had one and loved them so i sat there for a minute to take it in. I turned around to notice a game stop behind me so i went in and as soon as i got in i heard a kid say "daddy look its the super shredder". it took everything i had to not drop to my knees and cry. I truly want to think that was him. now this movie means that much more to me. love this channel for always keeping the best parts of my childhood alive and adding to it with info i never knew. thank you guys for giving me something to watch to shut off my mind today.
The ninja rap made it for me. It was my first tmnt movie and its will always be my favorite. Plus, Super Shredder yo
The most memorable moment in Secret of the Ooze was Vanilla Ice's performance while the Turtles were fighting and dancing.
I can still feel the disappointment in my inner child when "Tonka and Razer" (actual quote from me back then) showed up and not my beloved Bebop and Rocksteady.
4:45 that mom really fits that stereotypical appearance of a parent that would be against violent cartoons
TMNT 2 SOTO will forever be my favorite of the 3 and one of my favorite movies of all time. A comfort movie through and through.
Great video! A minor correction: the BBFC is an independent body, not part of the government.
I was obsessed with the cartoon (and the Archie comics) and had no idea they were called the Ninja Turtles until Andi Peters accidentally used the original name on Children's BBC. I knew they were ninjas, though - I think the word was still used in the show, just not in the title. I'm pretty sure properties like Beverly Hills Ninja kept their original titles.
Nunchaku were consistently censored, supposedly after kids started blinding themselves with homemade 'chucks while imitating Bruce Lee. Even the sequence in TMNT II where Michelangelo wields a chain of sausages was cut. In the cartoon, I distinctly remember the Turtles' introductions being truncated: "Donatello, with his bo staff! Raphael, master of the sai! Leonardo, with his deadly swords! ... And there's Michelangelo!"
Those Turtle Pies they made to tie into this … those keep me awake at nights craving them. I even collected all the cards that came with them.
Oh Turtle pies … I miss you so!
Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go!
I used to make microwave pizza and watch this movie every night the summer it was released VHS.
I was too busy…….playin’ “Bad Dudes” !!!😮😮😮😂😂😂 We had to save the President !!!
My parents never freaked out over the Turtles. In fact, my dad would happily help us make the weapons out of household items when we asked. The most we got was "just don't knock anyone out with these."
16:45
Pretty sure it was Leonardo who said that line at the end of "TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze".
EXCELLENT choice of screen grab for David Warner.
If they did a TMNT movie geared towards adults, based around the comics, I definitely watch it now.
I have that tape still with the box and still in good condition. I'm pretty proud of it lol
As a kid I remember seeing the new shredder helmet and thought, “it looks strange, but super shredder is awesome “
"A good Recognizer" Well Played, Well Played
I love Secret of the Ooze. It was legitimately the first Turtles media I ever saw. It don’t hold up at ALL now but I still enjoy it.
Where other UA-camrs just talk about Magic Spoon I love how you guys turn it into a whole production in itself. I came here to see the Magic Spoon commercial and I stayed for the turtles video :D
10 bucks a box. No thanks.
I dont blame the content creators, they gotta make a buck somehow but damn that's pricey for cereal.
I like TMNT II, because it was good cheesy fun, especially love seeing Vanilla Ice in the movie! Also I called those two villains, Bebop and Rocksteady because they were supposed to be in that movie, since I watched the cartoon show.
As I remember it here in the UK, the cartoon (and arcade game, comics, toys, etc.) was branded "Hero" rather than "Ninja" because the word ninja was felt to carry a sense of violence that the target audience (i.e. pre-teen kids) shouldn't be exposed to. As one of those kids myself at the time, me and all my friends knew they were ninjas, so if it was about hiding the word it failed pretty completely. When the first live-action film was coming out, initially it was thought they might call that "Hero" as well, but in the end it wasn't. (I also remember the tabloids talking about how violent the uncut cartoons in the US supposedly were - what a difference a word makes, right?)
And by all accounts the censoring of nunchucks had a lot to do with the head censor at the time not liking them. It wasn't just about it being a kid's cartoon - for example, it was only in the early 2000s that Bruce Lee's movies were released with nunchuck scenes uncut.
When I was a kid, I had this 10-15 minute long VHS tape that had a music video for the Ninja Rap, as well as a behind the scenes interview with Vanilla Ice.
The first film is dark and gritty. The second is not…lol. That doesn’t make it bad, especially for someone of my generation. It’s still has a hefty chunk of entertainment packed in there and I def enjoy watching it from time to time.
Yeah.We don't speak the third movies name.
I loved this movie. When I was a kid I watched the vhs over and over and over. I loved the trailers for suburban commando the Burger King kids club commercial and that movie step family that changed its name. This is my empire strikes back and I’m not sorry. I loved it.
I will never apologize for saying this was my favorite of the live action Ninja Turtles movie to this day.
I so hope you cover the third one, because that's really when the metaphorical Mutagen canister gets wrecked
"But when I do, I'll dream of something a little THINNER!" Ah, Ernie Reyes Jr. What ever happened to him?
I love so much that you used a picture from Waxwork for David Warner. Such a great movie. 🤘
My dad bought this from our local video store when the were liquidating old tapes must have watched it a million times
My siblings and I used to have epic pitched battles using plastic and foam ninja toys we'd get at the dollar store. It was good times and those parents just hated seeing kids having fun!
I remember watching the first Turtles cartoon in the uk and it was always hero born in 82 so old enough to remember my mum queuing in Argos for the first figures and they weren't even the good one's the first figures we got in my area (south west) had wind up action spinning arms with a wind up so big it may start a lawn mover DEFINITELY Always grateful(thank you mum and dad) for what i had and have (like they're watching)
Secret of The Ooze is definitely fun to watch! It's a good kick back movie. I love to put it on when I'm feeling down or had a rough time recently. I see it as comfort food for my brain, it's the best turtles movie to truly relax with. Also I do find keno kinda relatable would've loved to actually hang out with him if he were a real person!
