Action: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (BLU available), When a kingpin threatens New York City, a group of mutated turtle warriors must emerge from the shadows to protect their home. Trivia: The film released on the 30th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles saga. Raphael has Mikey was here scribbled on his shell (in Japanese so he cant tell!). April ONeill has on a yellow jacket throughout the film. This pays homage to her appearance in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987), where she prominently had on a yellow jumpsuit. The song that Michelangelo sings to April at the end is a 1967 song called Happy Together by The Turtles. This song is often misunderstood - instead of being a happy love song, it is actually about a guy trying to convince himself his girl hasnt dumped him. The Turtle Vans car horn theme is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) theme. Master Splinter is played by 4-foot actor Danny Woodburn. This is in regards to the original Mirage TMNT comics, where Splinter was smaller in stature compared to his Turtle stepsons. Whoopi Goldberg stated that this movie has been a lifelong goal of hers: My daughter was a huge fan of the original TMNT cartoon so when the original movie was announced she wanted me to be in it and so I asked around but it never happened, same with the other films they made, so when I heard this new project get announced I asked around again and to my surprise I got the part! During the movie, the Shredder says Tonight I dine on turtle soup, his trademark line from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987). In nearly all TMNT media, Leonardo wields twin ninjato (a medium-sized swords with straight blades) often incorrectly referred to as katana (longer swords with curved blades). In this film, Leo wields actual katana. Eric Sacks mentioned testing the mutagen on rabbits. This is a homage to Usagi Yojimbo, a comic about a samurai bunny. Yojimbo and the Turtles have teamed up on several occasions. Aprils (Megan Fox) line Aliens? No, thats stupid! while discussing the Turtles, is a reference to a much-maligned and ultimately discarded, proposed early story-line that had the Turtles be of alien origin. The undercover code name for the filming of the movie was Foursquare. This name was told to anyone who asked what was being filmed to keep the secret. This is the first TMNT live-action film to feature Aprils associate Vernon Fenwick. The screenwriters and Will Arnett decided to make this incarnation of Vernon more likable and supportive of April, as opposed to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) version where he is mean-spirited and often antagonistic towards April. Michelangelo states the Turtles need Raphael for the Christmas hip-hop CD. This is a reference to the TMNT special We Wish You a Turtle Christmas (1994). The Shredders armor is visually a direct copy of his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) battle armor. However, instead of a faceplate it has a mask with a monstrous face on it, referencing the series Shredder having been a human, alien and demon over its history. This is the first TMNT film as well as the third Nickelodeon film to receive a PG-13 rating in the United States. Within two weeks of the films release in the US a green light was given for a sequel. Aprils boss in the film, Bernadette Thompson, is a feminine version of Burne Thompson, Aprils boss in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(1987). Raphael catches April with a chain. This is a homage to TMNT (2007), where he employed a kusari-fundo (a chain weapon) along with his sais. Michelangelo is drawn to an online video of a cat. In the comics and cartoons, he took in a stray cat as his pet. The Turtles describe their home as a Fortress of Solitude, Hogwarts and Xaviers Academy (from Superman, Harry Potter and X-Men respectively). While all three serve as bases and training areas, Hogwarts is notable for featuring the Chamber of Secrets, a lair accessible only through the castles pipes and drains. Megan Fox broke her little finger during filming. #tnmt #meganfox #willarnett Trailer: youtu.be/OdgNSJiWJTo Clip: youtu.be/CTcy51kHDTM
