Same here. Me and my friends would watch this sometimes and laugh so hard because he gives the most evil speech but finishes it with "these...TURTLES." So funny.
No villain has had a better entrance than shredder.. His voice is so menacing.. And they freaking rolled up his sleeves and rolled out a carpet for him like how much more badass can you get!!
The carpet being rolled out was actually supposed to be used as a sparring area where Shredder sits down and fends off all the attacks from the initiates of the foot clan. The deleted scene is on youtube. One of the initiates is on 01:40 in the background holding his arm (obviously from getting beat up by Shredder)
@@garganroseexactly. This Shredder was quiet, mannered and sinister. Today villains need to wildly wave about, cry like an idiot and generally act over the top as much as possible so that even the most stupid viewer realizes they are meant to be evil LOL
DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou you know the comics (which were dark and gritty) came before the cartoon? This film is easily the most faithful to the source material
What an awesome line. That's what makes movies memorable....without quotable lines, it won't be come a memorable movie. I cannot even recall any classic lines from any other tmnt movies.
It's always been a harsh reality. We're no different from our generation or those that came before us or after us. The nobodies are always amongst us and we'll make our mark somewhere or someplace. By any means necessary.
This is the best version of the Shredder I've ever seen. He doesn't have any apparent grand, over-the-top "I'm evil and I want to take over the world" scheme. His aim is simply to invoke a fear of the unknown amongst people (starting with New Yorkers) with his "silent crime wave" that none can or would dare to identify. And he does so by using all of these delinquents that he's corrupted and taken away from any source of love or positive influence that there could be in their lives, making them believe that they can be worth something as his pawns. In doing so, he gains power over New Yorkers through fear of the unknown and the theft of their future.
I remember seeing this in the theater. It was my first movie going experience. The kids in the audience were very reactive during the film, but you could have heard a pin drop in this moment. We were legit scared of Shredder.
This version of Shredder is so badass looking. Great costume. Also the original movie had a strong anti-gang message in it which reflected the real problems that many American cities faced at the time that this film was made.
This is why I like this Shredder compared to the new movie's version. The new version was just someone helping a corporation be super rich. I give the new one credit for giving an intimidating Shredder up until he's actually in the Transformers suit. But for this Shredder, I saw this one as being someone who's corrupting the youth, giving them a place to call home and making himself their "father" and in return they learn the art of invisibility and become apart of the Foot Clan and they can steal and do whatever they want.
***** What's to say the kid gang isn't gonna be Shredder's back up plan in the new one? People forget that in the original comics Oroku Saki didn't take the turtles too seriously in a fight until they and Splinter bested them. He saw them as nothing more than freaks and children something he didn't shake off, but he learned from every mistake he made. Hell the 2014 movie is pretty much showing his escalation. He didn't have to do jack shit for a while, because before the turtles arrived, there was no one that could stop the foot. Then he finds out a bunch of vigilanties with martial arts experience bested his men, so he has them set a trap, which is pretty clever for a comic book villain. Then when he finds out what they are like in battle, that's when he uses the armor. The 90s Shredder when he found out the means of the turtles' mutation, he used it to make animals that could best them in combat and then used it on himself out of desperation. They may look different in appearance and tactics, but when it comes to thinking and learning about their enemies, both 90s and 2014 Shredder aren't all that different.
@@ZainR Shredder is the leader of a global crime syndicate. Plus he was also a business man in the 2003 version of the TMNT and that's arguably the greatest version of Shredder ever.
I love the fact he doesn't look in any way 'western'. No kevlar body armour, no cliche superhero/villain trappings. It's purely Eastern influences in the costume.
Incredible scene. Shredder seems more intimidating here than Darth Vader. But at the same time conveys how he is able to corrupt and prey on the lost and disillusioned teenagers to become their father figure. The music goes from ominous to a sort of tragically hopeful
The guy who directed the movie had directed a lot of music videos so he was able to bring that kind of imagery into scenes like this. Knew how to work the angles and lighting.
Igarappappa wow! Learn something new everyday. I never knew that. It’s awesome to know and definitely makes sense given the visual effects talent on display here. 👍🏼👍🏼
The problem is that most filmmaking went all digital. Digital looks smoother and faker, and so much work on the lighting and overall look is done in post production with people that aren't cinematographers or lighting techs, and films end up with a set number of similar looks. Digital made things easier and cheaper, but sometimes ease breeds laziness and a lack of creativity and innovation.
The Shredder in this film is one of the main things that made this movie so unforgettable. He was not the more clownish and one-liner spouting Shredder of the cartoon. He was a threatening Samurai warrior who ruled the Foot with an iron fist. He was a sadistic killer who murdered-not framed- both Hamato Yoshi and Tang Shen in cold blood. He was a manipulative monster who poisoned the minds of young teenagers who were already ostracized to steal for him, and punished them with violence if they failed. He kidnapped Splinter and hung him helplessly from the wall, torturing him to get information about the turtles. It’s that seriousness that really makes this film great, the humor perfectly balanced with the darker moments. They just don’t make then like this anymore.
Shredder had a hell of a presence in this film, this scene alone was all you needed to get the point that this was the enemy and he wasn't taking any bullshit. As another youtube user put it, no cgi, no explosions, just practical effects and a terrifying presence
agreed. the amazing, atmospheric and intimidating music played a big part in establishing that presence. Without the music, I don't think this scene would have anywhere near as much impact.
Not to mention at the final fight he beat down our heroes and almost killed leo.... thats how you make a movie.. sometimes heroes dont have advantage and need help, which they got from splinter
This man, Mr. James Saito, was the best shredder of them all. I love the roof fight with the turtles in the end. With all-do respect to the actors who replaced Saito in the sequals, but did you know that he was replaced in the sequals because he was too good as shredder? He was way too dark. Can you believe that?! :)
He is, but James Saito did such a great job as Shredder, and he was so intense, that he had to be replaced in the sequal because they needed someone to tone it down to make it more G-rated for the kids.
Of all the years I have been watching the original Ninja Turtles cartoon as a kid, I didn't know until I got the DVD collection, that James Avery was the father/uncle in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I couldn't believe it.
DOOMVSHALO I believe this film stays with us because of how young people can either be mentored or misled. Danny is really the character that has the biggest arc because his father doesn't understand or is indifferent to his inner turmoil. So Danny seeks out a charismatic father figure whom misleads all of his followers: the Shredder. But when he meets the captured mentor Splinter: he begins to lead back to a path inner peace and reconciliation with his father. "The Karate Kid" (1984) has a similar dynamic: the mentor (Myagi) and the misleader (Reese)..
Holding a company meeting so that he can publicly recognize a loyal employee and give him a promotion followed up by a motivational speech. Such a great boss!
Bay's Shredder is nowhere near the vibe the 1990 Shredder's at when he walks into the room. The scariest part is when Danny says "Master", receiving Shredders undivided attention; when that happens you best have something important to say. His badass demeanor is no joke.
Shredder, the ultimate villain. Fluent in the hidden arts of Ninjitsu, leader of the Footclan. Shredder would've defeated everyone had it not been for his pride. He did in-fact defeat all four of the Turtles. That's four against one, and he beat them.
@Capri And they didn't really beat him in the second movie he sort of killed himself while trying to take the Turtles down with him. So... Sorry dudes can't take points for that battle give them a B+ For Badass effort though.
@King Kong Not really, in the fight the fight Shredder is slowly getting overwhelmed and with his experience he knows it and changes tactics. He uses a psychological attack that gets Leo to screw up and seizes on the opportunity to trick the others into weakening themselves and is about to shrink the numbers gap. If the fight had just kept going on how it had before that he would of eventually lost.
@@Warcodered01 even with Leo at the point of his spear, didn’t Shredder state the Mikey, Donny, and Raph could’ve overwhelmed him at the cost of perhaps one?
This was a MUCH different Turtles compared to the cartoon we were used to watching back then. It was dark and gritty but also humorous when it needed to be.
@@SDPLISSKEN81 FINALLY!! Someone else hears this. I wish I had the patience to learn how to mix cause I can hear a mash-up of Shredder's Theme and Raining Blood in my brain.
I'd say Skeletor as well. Masters of the Universe. He didn't play at all and killed one of his warriors for failure. Sarod definitely took one for the team!
+joshua hill Man what!!!!! Lol I was thinking the same... sheeeeiit, so I guess if you're black, male, and not a professional athlete/entertainer then you get first dibs at joining lmao. Shredder is a badass in this movie though..excellent scene.
@Josh Avitia Bruh that's cool and all but Shredder would never reject you and give you purpose. Plus you will look like a badass ninja serving the damn Shredder.
An symbolic scene : Shredder's conception of being a father that clashes with Splinter's one. Violence vs Love. Fear vs Care. The monster is a human and the human is a monster. Shows how much the movies back then knew how to talk about important things.
I'm a film addict. This MIGHT BE a GOAT "Villain Entrance" contender with Jaws and a couple others. The lighting, the tempo, the music, the set design, and the REVERENT silence is all utter perfection.
***** Charm, yes: Dramatic structure, believability, and solid plot, no. Compare to Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Ben Hur, Empire Strikes Back, Jurassic Park, or the Dark Knight Rises - those are great movies. If all you ever watch is Michael Bay, then all you'll ever see will disappoint you.
New movies don't have the balls to dedicate this kind of entrance to a character anymore. Almost a full two minutes before he even utters his first words. It gives you time to develop an unforced understanding of the character. I also love how they didn't try to get a ripped body builder to play Shredder.
@TheRealBDouble that's true. This shredder from part 1 the 1990 version was great. Best about him was he was Japanese but if they made the shredder (oruku saki), tatsu and splinter speak Japanese in their own language with English subtitles would be awesome
The dark scenography, the music, the voice, the acting itself, the light putted on the Shredder making him a central point on stage... Everything is so well done that you simply cannot to not fear this intimidating character.
He is the ultimate villain, literally defeats all four of the turtles single handedly, then challenges their master to be brought down by his desire for revenge.
This is the Shredder from the original comics before they made him into a cartoonish villain. Just this scene alone. Even the rooftop battle at the end is too short for me. The original Shredder is a real bastard but they'll never depict him now the way he should be. By the sequel he was surrounded by goofy monster henchmen and the foot were total clowns, not fearsome ninja's.
It was because a lot of parents complained that the first film was too violent for their kids, so they minimized the use of weapons in the second film and made it lighter than the first which was more loyal to the comics.
Man. 80s/90s kids movies were film noir, the bad guys where real bad guys. We lost that and now they're all lame Disney/marvel villains. It's kinda a reflection of society and how soft we got these days.
This movie didn’t have to go as hard as it did but I’m so thankful for it. Amazing soundtrack. Great writing. And the voice acting for 1990s is top notch.
"Money cannot buy the honor which you have earned tonight. You'll make us all proud. Only effort, discipline, loyalty, earn the right to wear the Dragon dogi. You're all here because the outside world rejects you. This is your family. I am your father. I want you all to become full members of the Foot."
I remember seeing this in theatres 8 years old. The drums echoed in the theatres. Shredder looked completely different to the cartoon. i remember just being mind blown. Will always be the best entrance of any villain. period.
I'm sure in this exact movie, when April is doing an interview she brings up her suspicions of the foot... And then she's like "I know it sounds like a club of podiatrists". 😂
"There is a new enemy, freaks of nature, who interfere with our business! You are my eyes and ears, find them! Together we will punish these.... Creatures.... These..... Turtles!!!" "Master..." This movie = my childhood
This version of Shredder has a certain monstrous quality about him, even before he became a mutant. It was easy to forget sometimes that he was just a very evil Japanese man in a helmet and mask.
The cinematography of this scene, this entire movie has no business being as good as it is for a TMNT movie but damn does it work to elevate the material. This movie is so fucking good.
This scene right here shows that it is not the suit that makes shredder badass but the attitude! His eyes as he is talking look very threatening compared to that robotic crap from Micheal Bays movie.
Nicholas Mallard The mecha suit was designed so he was able to take on the turtles because they are stronger so he needed his armour to be stronger and for the 200th time it is not Michael Bays movie how many trailers have been out to tell you this small fact it is not his movie get it through your head he was 1 of 6 producers not the director.
Vince Brown Didn't I just say to you in another comment section on this video that Micheal Bay was the producer for this film. The movie was garbage in my opinion and it reeks of Bay's BS!
Vince Brown My 90s shredder is powerful comment section in which I replied to you after you called me a hater. Your right everyone is entitled to have an opinion just like we discussed in that comment section. You like this movie I don't.
I remember seeing this in the movies and seeing Shredder enter the first time made me realize he's a lot more fearful and serious then the cartoons and I thought this was so awesome. No other movie can top this as many remakes as they like
TMNT 1990 isn’t just an incredible film but a cautionary tale for young people. A frightening preview of where we are at as a society. Urban decay, crime, broken homes, young people wanting so much to feel loved that they join this evil organization that has no problems preying on their desire to be part of a family. 33 years later, these themes are not only present but even worse as we see young people loot, rob and kill in our streets like in my hometown of Chicago. Here is a sobering reality. People like the Foot Clan and Shredder are in your cities. They may not have masks or sharp objects hanging off them but they are in your neighborhoods, your street corners, your blocks. Ready to corrupt your children. TMNT 1990 is movie about the power and love of family and how the idea of family can be twisted for evil.
The dark tone of this movie holds up so much better than the weird CGI remakes.
Ironically, I argue (and most agree when I show evidence) that this was a truly epic movie with the baddest villain since Vader……. This speech is so well done. Whoever let that Sasquatch fart remake these movies needs to choke on it. The new ones suck, this is ninja effing turtles

Bay's Shredder is nowhere near the vibe the 1990 Shredder's at when he walks into the room.
The scariest part is when Danny says "Master", receiving Shredders undivided attention; when that happens you best have something important to say. His badass demeanor is no joke.

Daaaam,
The Dark Theme, the Badass Score, and one of the most iconic Villain entrances in film of all TIME!!
Shredder, the ultimate villain. Fluent in the hidden arts of Ninjitsu, leader of the Footclan. Shredder would've defeated everyone had it not been for his pride. He did in-fact defeat all four of the Turtles. That's four against one, and he beat them.
if only the turtles worked together instead of one by one they would have a chance
@Capri And they didn't really beat him in the second movie he sort of killed himself while trying to take the Turtles down with him. So... Sorry dudes can't take points for that battle give them a B+ For Badass effort though.
@King Kong Not really, in the fight the fight Shredder is slowly getting overwhelmed and with his experience he knows it and changes tactics. He uses a psychological attack that gets Leo to screw up and seizes on the opportunity to trick the others into weakening themselves and is about to shrink the numbers gap. If the fight had just kept going on how it had before that he would of eventually lost.
Regardless of what would of happened that fight scene was pretty much perfectly done with Splinter using the same tactic that Shredder had just used
@@Warcodered01 even with Leo at the point of his spear, didn’t Shredder state the Mikey, Donny, and Raph could’ve overwhelmed him at the cost of perhaps one?
I can clearly see that The Shredder's outfit was clearly inspired by Darth Vader, especially when he speaks the line "I am your father."
Iconic scene
I saw this in the theater as a kid. I remember thinking Shredder had taken a level in badass compared to the cartoon!
He took a level in badass in the first film and he took another one in the 2003 cartoon.
And the 2013 series too
This was a MUCH different Turtles compared to the cartoon we were used to watching back then. It was dark and gritty but also humorous when it needed to be.
it was a good mix of the OG comics and the TV series
This was my first theater film at 6 years old. Still holds up too.
One of the most underrated scenes in the history of cinema.
Best TMNT film ever made!
the entrance music is beast
Daniel Sifuentes-Bradford agreed, all those troubled youth are scared to death of him.
Hell yeah
It's got the same opening beats as "Raining Blood"
@@SDPLISSKEN81 FINALLY!! Someone else hears this. I wish I had the patience to learn how to mix cause I can hear a mash-up of Shredder's Theme and Raining Blood in my brain.
Entrance music 😄 that did make me chuckle
Who Agrees That The Shredder is The Best Live Action Villain Ever at #1?
na T1000 is
Vince Niederman Darth Vader, without any question.
I'd say Skeletor as well. Masters of the Universe. He didn't play at all and killed one of his warriors for failure. Sarod definitely took one for the team!
ALWAYS been my favorite bad guy. Always will
He's the best because he won.. he beat the stars of the show, it took a luck of the draw and another person to win
One Of The Best Villain Intros and The Cinematography is Perfect in This Scene Bar None For The Dark Tone At Times For The Film!
I remember when I was a kid, & first saw this movie all I could think of is "Gosh, i'd give anything to have the Shredder helmet!!!"
TheOldOakSyndicate I still want this shredder helmet, anywhere that you can buy it?
BonesInteractive I'd find someone who makes swords and armour for cosplay.
@@DougyFreshGames their is 3d printing .
I want to buy it
I'll bet it never has to look for a can opener! 😉
made me kinda wanna join shredders army because the outside world does reject me!
+joshua hill Man what!!!!! Lol I was thinking the same... sheeeeiit, so I guess if you're black, male, and not a professional athlete/entertainer then you get first dibs at joining lmao. Shredder is a badass in this movie though..excellent scene.
He didn't discriminate, as long as you would fight and steal for him. The 1st ninja civil rights leader😂😂😂😂
I still would join the foot
@Josh Avitia Bruh that's cool and all but Shredder would never reject you and give you purpose. Plus you will look like a badass ninja serving the damn Shredder.
Casey Jones: "Is this your family?"
God...Shredder was such a badass in this movie.
DarkSnake153 He Was He Was The Best Villian In This Movie 👍👍
33 years later and this movie still holds up
One of the most iconic Entrances in Movie History
Agreed The Music At The Start is So Amazing For Shredder!
Even Vader?
This scared me as a child. I thought the shredder was real lol. Good times.
He is
30 years later, this still gives me the chills
An symbolic scene : Shredder's conception of being a father that clashes with Splinter's one. Violence vs Love. Fear vs Care. The monster is a human and the human is a monster.
Shows how much the movies back then knew how to talk about important things.
The lighting in this movie was incredible.
I'm a film addict. This MIGHT BE a GOAT "Villain Entrance" contender with Jaws and a couple others. The lighting, the tempo, the music, the set design, and the REVERENT silence is all utter perfection.
You seriously need to get a life.
Are you referring to the Bond villain or the shark?
So well done. You don't see shit like this anymore in movies.
+youtubasoarus do you know that plot twist in this movie? shredder gets suffocated then comes back like no shit happened
+An0nym0us that's the plot twist of the second movie.
Brewsic oh yeah thx for remindin XD
+youtubasoarus Or the rest of this movie. This movie really sucks as a whole, but my inner child won't let me speak such blasphemy.
*****
Charm, yes: Dramatic structure, believability, and solid plot, no.
Compare to Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Ben Hur, Empire Strikes Back, Jurassic Park, or the Dark Knight Rises - those are great movies. If all you ever watch is Michael Bay, then all you'll ever see will disappoint you.
Life is boring .... time to start my own ninja mafia !!!
Hello fellow Sam and Fuzzy fan!
Or in correct term, the yakuza ninja clan
Absolutely perfect scene
Amazingly epic!
Ok
This commands more respect, than all the super and CGI shredders combined.
New movies don't have the balls to dedicate this kind of entrance to a character anymore. Almost a full two minutes before he even utters his first words. It gives you time to develop an unforced understanding of the character. I also love how they didn't try to get a ripped body builder to play Shredder.
This version of Shredder is great but what ties it all together is his voice. It was perfect for this version
They did also a really job with lighting and camera.
This little details, like the shining of the blade on his helmet. Kurosawa style 😅
@TheRealBDouble that's true. This shredder from part 1 the 1990 version was great. Best about him was he was Japanese but if they made the shredder (oruku saki), tatsu and splinter speak Japanese in their own language with English subtitles would be awesome
@@demschafihmseinkase5458I'm trying to buy the shredders costume
The dark scenography, the music, the voice, the acting itself, the light putted on the Shredder making him a central point on stage... Everything is so well done that you simply cannot to not fear this intimidating character.
James Saito is only 64. Bring him back as Shredder. Together we will punish these creatures...these turtles!
I'll never forget how epic it felt when 5 year old me saw this film for the first time in 1990. Good times.
He is the ultimate villain, literally defeats all four of the turtles single handedly, then challenges their master to be brought down by his desire for revenge.
But the one who can 🛑 is Splinter
You must be deaf.
" _Fools. Ha, ha. The three of you may have overpowered me with the loss of but one! Now your fate... will be HIS!_ "
This is the Shredder from the original comics before they made him into a cartoonish villain. Just this scene alone. Even the rooftop battle at the end is too short for me. The original Shredder is a real bastard but they'll never depict him now the way he should be. By the sequel he was surrounded by goofy monster henchmen and the foot were total clowns, not fearsome ninja's.
Honestly not even the original comic book Shredder was as badass as this
Word that shit was tight. Miss the 90's.
This story was ahead of it'd time because of its violent tone wish it was given another chance
To me, nothing will ever top this one. Nothing.
What a badass. Too bad he didn't get a more epic 'ending' after that awesome fight with the turtles.
It was also too bad he didn't appear at all in the 3rd TMNT movie...Man, the 3rd TMNT really sucked.."...
It was because a lot of parents complained that the first film was too violent for their kids, so they minimized the use of weapons in the second film and made it lighter than the first which was more loyal to the comics.
This movie was so awesome, one of the coolest movies that came out when I was a kid, well this and of course Batman in 89.
Man. 80s/90s kids movies were film noir, the bad guys where real bad guys. We lost that and now they're all lame Disney/marvel villains. It's kinda a reflection of society and how soft we got these days.
This movie didn’t have to go as hard as it did but I’m so thankful for it. Amazing soundtrack. Great writing. And the voice acting for 1990s is top notch.
"Money cannot buy the honor which you have earned tonight. You make us all proud"
God. Damn.
"Money cannot buy the honor which you have earned tonight. You'll make us all proud. Only effort, discipline, loyalty, earn the right to wear the Dragon dogi. You're all here because the outside world rejects you. This is your family. I am your father. I want you all to become full members of the Foot."
Da foot.
Da futbol
I remember seeing this in theatres 8 years old. The drums echoed in the theatres. Shredder looked completely different to the cartoon. i remember just being mind blown. Will always be the best entrance of any villain. period.
I am your father
Nnnnnoooooooooooooooooooo!
Absolutely blown away as a child in the theatre.
"Master. Why are we called the Foot? Is it because we step on people?"
Shredder: *Death glare*
I'm sure in this exact movie, when April is doing an interview she brings up her suspicions of the foot... And then she's like "I know it sounds like a club of podiatrists". 😂
"There is a new enemy, freaks of nature, who interfere with our business! You are my eyes and ears, find them! Together we will punish these.... Creatures.... These..... Turtles!!!" "Master..."
This movie = my childhood
This version of Shredder has a certain monstrous quality about him, even before he became a mutant. It was easy to forget sometimes that he was just a very evil Japanese man in a helmet and mask.
So pretty much Shredder was out there turning punk kids into real ninjas in New York.
The cinematography of this scene, this entire movie has no business being as good as it is for a TMNT movie but damn does it work to elevate the material. This movie is so fucking good.
This was a big thing watching as a child. Shredder was terrifying and this scene was shot perfectly!
24 years later still as bad ass... there is no way the new Shredder aka TransfoShredder... could beat this.
This scene right here shows that it is not the suit that makes shredder badass but the attitude! His eyes as he is talking look very threatening compared to that robotic crap from Micheal Bays movie.
Nicholas Mallard The mecha suit was designed so he was able to take on the turtles because they are stronger so he needed his armour to be stronger and for the 200th time it is not Michael Bays movie how many trailers have been out to tell you this small fact it is not his movie get it through your head he was 1 of 6 producers not the director.
Vince Brown Didn't I just say to you in another comment section on this video that Micheal Bay was the producer for this film. The movie was garbage in my opinion and it reeks of Bay's BS!
Nicholas Mallard Thats your opinion I like the new shredder better and what other comment.
Vince Brown My 90s shredder is powerful comment section in which I replied to you after you called me a hater. Your right everyone is entitled to have an opinion just like we discussed in that comment section. You like this movie I don't.
This will always be an 90's original classic 💯
If you were a young kid back when this movie dropped, you remember how bad ass this introduction was.
this scene and music
CHILLS
everytime
I see and hear it
There's nothing like seeing this the first time in theaters
The Shredder has to be in the top 10 villains list.
This was one of the best shots I've ever seen shot for a movie
Completely agree
Vanilla Beam Me Too 👍👍❤️
sabresguy93 Same Here
One of The Best Villain Intros Ever I Still Love This Movie Big Time!
I remember seeing this in the movies and seeing Shredder enter the first time made me realize he's a lot more fearful and serious then the cartoons and I thought this was so awesome. No other movie can top this as many remakes as they like
I love late 80s early 90s soundtracks. Epic music for epic films. This scene is just perfect.
My grown ass still getting them chills when he speaks. Everything was perfect about this scene.
RIP Uncle Phil
tvu86 not the same voice actor here but I feel u..
A funny thing though, in Germany they used the same voice actor for this Shredder and Uncle Phil.
bro. I'm 38. this is brilliant writing and leveled for children and adults. cray. still
Even if you removed all franchise-elements from this film you would still have great story about enstrangement, parenthood and personal growth.
TMNT 1990 isn’t just an incredible film but a cautionary tale for young people. A frightening preview of where we are at as a society. Urban decay, crime, broken homes, young people wanting so much to feel loved that they join this evil organization that has no problems preying on their desire to be part of a family. 33 years later, these themes are not only present but even worse as we see young people loot, rob and kill in our streets like in my hometown of Chicago. Here is a sobering reality. People like the Foot Clan and Shredder are in your cities. They may not have masks or sharp objects hanging off them but they are in your neighborhoods, your street corners, your blocks. Ready to corrupt your children. TMNT 1990 is movie about the power and love of family and how the idea of family can be twisted for evil.
Shredder looks so awesome, i want that outfit
As sci-fi as duct tape...A generation comes along. Fools... or something stonger.
Too much CG these days.
They use CGI to compensate for a lack of story. It's the cheap and easy way out.
I always thought shredders introduction was so badass when I was younger. It still is to this day.
