TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (2014) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch | Megan Fox

I remember Alan doing an interview explaining how horrific and inhumane his experience was filming this movie. He and the other actors playing the turtles were treated like garbage on set and behind the scene. They weren’t even invited to the movie premiere.

29:20 Interesting tidbit about the weapons, each turtle was given a weapon the opposite of themselves. First Leonardo the pacifist was given the katanas, the most aggressive weapon in Japanese history that requires you to commit to your strikes. Second Raphael, the most aggressive fighter was given a weapon primarily used for defense, teaching him how to block as well as attack. Third, Mikey the goofball was given the nunchakus a weapon that requires immense focus and concentration lest you injure yourself while using it. Finally Donatello the complex thinker was given a very simple weapon to demonstrate that at times the answer doesn't require much thought.

In nearly all TMNT media, Leonardo wields two ninjato (a medium-sized sword with a straight blade), which are often incorrectly called katana (longer sword with a curved blade). In this film, Leo wields actual katanas for the first time ever. April O'Neil (Megan Fox) has on a yellow jacket through the film. This pays homage to her appearance in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987), where she prominently had on a yellow jumpsuit During the movie, the Shredder says "Tonight I dine on turtle soup", his trademark line from Shredder & Splintered (1987). Ernie Reyes Jr., who starred in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) (and acted as a stunt double for Donatello in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)), pitched a stunt video to Michael Bay in an attempt to serve as martial arts consultant on this film.

I always felt like the 80s cartoon had the best origin story. Splinter actually starting out as the human ninja master Hamato Yoshi who then mutated into a rat was always the best explanation for why he knew how to fight so well and was so good a teacher to the Turtles. 🐀 🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢

"That's some superhuman strength right there." No, sir. That's... turtle power. 🙃

I remember i went to go see this at the movies 😂❤ 0:03 we were laughing at this part

Ironically it’s Will Arnett birthday today. Happy Birthday Will Arnett! 🎊 🎂🥳

Fun fact: It has been heavily suggested, though never officially confirmed, that the mutagen that mutated the turtles was the same chemicals that blinded Matt Murdock and enhanced his other senses, making him Daredevil.

The whole elevator instrumental break HAD ME BAWLING WITH JOY THATS MY FAVORITE SCENE OUT OF THIS WHOLE MOVIE LMAO

They took Shredder's alter ego and made it into it's own separate character. Of course they had to Americanise it. Oroku Saki= Erik Sacks.
