    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) film, the turtles facial expressions were cable operated with all the motors, servos etc housed in the shell. In this movie, thanks to a larger budget, the animatronics were much smaller and lighter and were built into the face itself.
    • Goofs
      At about the 52:47 mark after Donatello is thrown through the roof and rips the tape off of the TGRI guys mouth he exclaims "I gotta get the hang of that" to which the TGRI guy says "That's okay." immediately after "That's okay" you can hear someone on the set say "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 107" in the background. Use headphones if you must.
    • Quotes

      Donatello: The perimeter's quiet.

      Leonardo: Yeah, a little too quiet.

      [Donatello knocks two Foot soldiers out]

      Donatello: Well, that was easy!

      Leonardo: Yeah, a little too easy.

      Donatello: Look! It's Raph!

      Michaelangelo: Yeah, a little too Raph.

      German version had cartoon-like sound effects added to the soundtrack in the fight scenes.

    Less gritty than the first, but more fun
    Well, this second film was more kid-oriented and played more for laughs, but I still got a kick out of it. Paige Turco made a better April than Judith Hoag (and what a cool apartment April has!) and Ernie Reyes Jr. (whatever happened to him?) is a lot of fun to watch too. What WAS the secret of the ooze? I haven't seen the film in years!

    Re: Vanilla Ice. Yes, his very presence is laughable, let alone his "performance". But in his defense, he's less embarrassing here than in 1991's other blockbuster smash hit, Cool As Ice!
