Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A film by Steve Barron
w/ Judith Hoag, Elias Koteas, Josh Pais
In New York, mysterious radioactive ooze has mutated four sewer turtles into talking, upright-walking, crime-fighting ninjas. The intrepid heroes -- Michelangelo (Robbie Rist), Donatello (Corey Feldman), Raphael (Josh Pais) and Leonardo (Brian Tochi) -- are trained in the Ninjutsu arts by their rat sensei, Splinter. When a villainous rogue ninja, who is a former pupil of Splinter, arrives and spreads lawlessness throughout the city, it's up to the plucky turtles to stop him.
"The first iteration of the Turtle brothers on the big screen balances grittiness and campy while managing to give us one the best origin stories of the IP."

"The fights and stunts in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are genuinely exciting, made all the more remarkable by the fact that they're mostly being done by guys in 50 pounds of foam rubber."
