Re: Which TMNT movie(s) did you like the best?
It's a really, really tough call between Turtles one and two, but I think I'll have to go with the original. I remember first seeing it was so dramatic, and when Raphael said "Damn" a few times I was astounded! What language! Anyway, this takes nothing away from Secret of the Ooze which was brilliant in its own right, but the original has the advantage of being first.
What I find strange is that the first movie has some fairly racist lines which I never noticed before I rented the movie recently. For example:
April, while being surrounded by the obviously Asian foot clan has this exchange...
Foot Soldier: We have been looking for you, Miss O'Neil.
April : Am I behind on my Sony payments again?
Foot Soldier: Your mouth may yet bring you much trouble, Miss O'Neil. I deliver a message.
[Slaps her in the face]
Foot Soldier: Shut it!
And later when the Turtles are all in the back of a large truck, one of then makes some remark like, "Man, now I know what it feels like to drive around without a green card!"
So, they aren't that bad, but I was surprised to see those kinda lines in the movie...
