Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) back in theaters starting today 8/14 until 8/21 for the 35th anniversary

I've never seen it in theaters so this is a must for me. Planning on getting Saturday afternoon tickets with my kid.

I like the movie as a comic adaptation and a Jim Henson showcase, but it's also a special movie on a personal level as it was a favorite for me to watch with a close friend who is no longer here.

There were rumors that this would be the new 4k scan that Arrow will be releasing, but apparently they just got their hands on the scan so that is probably not the case.
 
I hope it draws in at least a semi decent crowd. It'd be cool to see younger kids there. They NEED darker, dramatic stuff for kids these days veiled under the guise of your friendly neighborhood turtles or whatever.

I still remember being in a weird state of shock when I left the theater. All I knew were the toys and the cartoon. Here I had heard them swear, Raph almost dies, there's that really emotional moment at the campfire..

And Judith Hoag was pretty alright back then :messenger_smirking:

Just waiting eagerly on that UK pre-order. I watched the first film with my dad at eight years old at the cinema.

My kids have seen this, I have lived it, and I think I would like to see it in the theater again. Best adaptation of the Turtles on film.
 
Loved this as a kid. I wore the vhs out. Might treat myself and see this in the theater again. I wish the 4k was just the first film. Those other two are bad and awful
 
So good, it was played twice in the movie.



And let's not forget...



Cowabunga! Now release the first movie separately on 4k disc.

Motherfucker, I'm about to kiss you. I've wanted that first track on my playlist for a long time, and you provided.

Maybe I'll spare you the kiss and just say thanks......maybe.
 
I have never heard of Arrow video, but that looks like a cool set and 4k transfer. Pre-ordered.
Arrow is more of a specialty label like Criterion. They have the best reputation for quality releases of all labels/studios so you have nothing to worry about. I was hoping they would release the first movie separately, but i need that deluxe box with the original poster art so i pre-ordered too.
 
I wanna hear reactions to scenes like this



Still holds up. Fucking classic. I love Josh Pais's voice man. Just unique as hell

$69 dollars for the first film in 4K, $0.99 for the other two :P

I don't totally hate the second one, but damn was it disappointing. Even as a wee lad coming out of the theater, i was so mad. I'm not sure i even finished the third because i hated it so much, but i'll give it a chance when my set comes in.
