No CGI! Fucking how?
No CGI! Fucking how?
Lmao imagine the other things that used to exist that you will never experience because boomers flushed piss earth down the toilet since the 90s
It was the last film that Jim Henson worked on prior to his death. It was the absolute best of the best in the industry for puppetry and animatronics.
would be kino if they actually used they weapons to maim/kill people, instead of always punching or kicking.
There's going to be an R-rated Turtles movie on the horizon, so who knows?
It could come back if people went to see it
most of that entire scene is cgi. they just lied about it.
Imagine the bloodbath it would have had to have been though. Even the two with wooden weapons would fuck people up royalty of used to kill. Would have to have been like kill bill.
Would love to see Leonardo fighting the crazy 88 as Uma Thurman when AI gets good enough, would be kino.
- Steve Barron, one of the most underrated visual genius directors of the '80s
- Jim Henson, a puppetry and practical effects powerhouse
- Photography by John Fenner who gave the movie a distinctively shadowy and textured look
- Produced by Golden Harvest, who knew how to martial arts right
- A production design team who spent months scouting the very best NY locales
Just a perfect storm of talent, opportunity, and material at exactly the right time
CRICKET??
Pure, distilled movie magic.
it's literally just frogposting
I was obsessed with the cartoon, the movies and the sega genesis games as a kid. Are any of the Michael Bay TMNT movies worth a watch? I refused to pay for a ticket when I saw the retarded CGI renderings of the turtles in the movie trailers.
No, they're trash and utterly hideous to watch in motion. I hate using this term but they're as soulless as movies can possibly get.
just a guy in a suit pretending to be a giant turtle who knows karate
And they treated the material with respect, keeping the serious stuff serious and the fun stuff fun.
None of the sequels lived up to the first but they did have a cute April
Almost vomit inducing anon. Exactly what you'd expect from modern Hollywood, they even made Casey Jones a pussy wimp and made April the brave badass. "The Hobbit" tier scenes of unbelievable dexterity like splinter spinning and juggling multiple plates with his tail. I watched part of a torrent and deleted it immediately.
Reminder that Splinter was voiced by the Elmo puppeteer who is allegedly a gay black methhead pedo in real life. It's why he was fired as Elmo is 2012.
Is the background real or a painting?
They had a tricky tightrope to walk. Comic fans wanted the bloody ninja stuff from the books, which would have turned off parents taking their kids to see what they assumed would be a movie based on the cartoon. They got the balance exactly right. Everyone was happy (except parents who complained anyway which is why we got TMNTII).
they’re so cute
Indeed
TMNT 1990 and 2003 are the best versions of the turtles hands down.
Pretty sure real. they really went all out with this movie.
Jim Hanson used to be alive
people who like ninja turtles can barely speak english
makes sense
the second Michael Bay movie is kinda cool in some parts and it's kinda closer to the cartoon. it has fun elements.
but the first Michael Bay movie is basically as shit as a transformers movie.
it's really shit. bad plot. bad effects. bad action.
