This might have been mentioned a few times already but Casey Jones basically murders Shredder at the end of the movie lol. The police were coming and could have easily arrested him but he chose to turn on the compactor. Just something I never really noticed till watching it again.
shareWell, attempted murder. Shredder is in the second one unbelievably.
RIP Ultimate Warrior. You will be missed.
My favorite thing is how gleeful Casey is about murdering a man who had just fallen from a tall building and probably broke every bone in his body. The delivery of "oops!" has always killed me.

Am I the only kid that got weirded out when Casey Jones crushes Shredder? I know he is the evil villain but that is just cold blooded the way he just nonchalantly, like you say, murders him. In the theater when I was 7 I was like "WTF?", or would have been if I knew what WTF meant at the time. Anyway, Shredder didn't die, he was only scooped up into the truck--the main crushing mechanism is inside of the truck. Check the other posts for more info or google a tour of a garbage truck.

Me too, Minus.
RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

I don't like that Casey Jones gets to "kill" Shredder. How does that man even survive being crushed by a trash compacter and then get taken out by a wooden pier in the next film? lol
shareThe fall was worse for sure.
Robin Williams RIP. Most recent movies seen: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 8/10 stars. Expendables 3
I think with Shredder/Saki Oroku "missing", it would clear Casey, April, and the Foot teens to get on with their lives faster, without as much police hassle.
Brutal, but Shredder "died" as he lived, in Casey's eyes.
Did you not read my posts, Ray? Koteas is great. Koteas is wonderful.
RIP Roger Rees. Movies in theater: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 10/10. Vacation 8/10
Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is NO WAY Oroku Saki could have possibly survived the multi hundred-foot plummet onto a steel truck!

Agreed, Sammy. But, I enjoy the second movie as well.

NYC trash? It couldn't have been good. Lol.
RIP Tony Burton. RIP George Kennedy. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.
This is a movie where a (non-mutant) rat masters some martial arts...
I fail to see how a fall has to be lethal.
While it was ridiculous and impossible, it was based on Splinter studying what he saw - there was a plot behind his martial arts. There is no plot behind a plummet, especially given how he was screaming as he fell, knowing his death coming to him at 9.8m/second.

My point was that it's just the rules of that world that allow it...
How do you know what gravity is there? (it'd be in m/s^2 and not m/s anyway ;) )
My point was that it's just the rules of that world that allow it, in the same way that a somehow standard rat is able to learn that much.

Actually, you cannot 'murder' the bad guy in movies. He's the evil villain - you're supposed to kill him. Every movie like this gives its heroes license to do so. Shredder got owned trying to kill the good guys and Casey merely finished him off (looked like he already bit the big one when Casey went 'oops').
Motown, get your Detroit jukebox jheri curl ass in this chicken sh!t chop-chop, ASAFP!
Then II came out, and that was the end of that.
X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.
I prefer to think II (and the rest) never happened haha. No Casey, no Feldman Donny, no Hoag April & not even any weapons used in anger or intense fights! What a wussy crapfest that movie was (no offense if anyone likes it). This movie's the one and only tmnt film.

I like the second one too. David Warner is one of my faves.

Saying they don't exist diminishes all the hard work of the people who put those films together.
Think of all the Grips.
The Best Boys.
The lighting technicians who were burned upon the fingers and arms...
