TMNT: Turtles Forever Thead Of Forever - 1984 Turtles Fans Rejoice

[Eaten By A Grue]

Did a google and GAF search, but did not see anyone post this. This was mentioned in the TMNT takeover thread, but I was watching Smallville last night and was almost floored by what I saw. If this was posted, which means my searching skills have failed me, then I apologize.

Sad to say I am 28 years old, giddy as a schoolgirl when I saw this, and now have my DVR set to record.

 

[Ardorx]

I just cried. FUCKING AWWWWWWSOME.

I hope it has the old theme song.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

that clip was sorta awful they are making fun of the turltles I use to watch.

 

[evil ways]

Crazy, I wonder if old school, Dirty Harry voiced Casey Jones will also make a cameo in the crossover.

It just goes to show how ridiculously awesome the show was back in the day.

I love the music when they start fighting in that clip, so classic.

True dat.

I don't care, (partial) 80's animated Turtles revival!

Cowafuckingbunga!!!

 

[Ardorx]

Oh and yeah, 80's leo sounds funny.

BUT IT WILL NOT KILL MY BONER.

Someone posted this on YouTube:

The reason why they don't have the original voice actors from the 80's show is because this movie is a Non-Union project, and they're Union actors.

 

[discohiro]

No Cam Clarke?!

 

[nubbe]

Unpossible, Cam Clark is in eeeverything

 

[Cloudy]

This seems like a parody. How are you guys excited by this? I want a gritty live-action turtles movie

So you want something that'll never happen? Kay.


Listen, 1987 Turtles were very tongue-in-cheek and this film will represent that and I really don't give a shit because they're back and I fucking love that show.

 

[Cloudy]

So you want something that'll never happen? Kay.

Why can't it happen? Martial arts stunts have never been better and I'm sure they can make good costumes.

If not that, gimme another CGI movie instead of crapping all over the franchise with this...thing...

Its opposites day!
This looks awesome and fun. CGI film looked horrible. The original live-action movie was at least vaguely gritty as well.

 

[teiresias]

So you want something that'll never happen? Kay.

Funny, I seem to remember it happening back in 1990. It's about as gritty as you could make it at the time.

 

[Cloudy]

Yeah I want something like that. the other 2 movies were pretty campy but still better than this Forever garbage. And maybe it's just me but the CGI looked great

A new live-action movie would do so well if they had good stunts, fights and a decent plot..

 

[The Bookerman]

I want Uncle Phil back as Shredder!

 

[GDGF]

I'll be watching the fuck out of this :lol

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

That actually looks really frickin cool. "We save April at least once a day!"

Can't believe they are going way back to the original comic universe too.

 

[RubxQub]

April's voice is AWFUL.

 

[Oblivion]

When the hell did any of the other turtles besides Michaelangelo say "cowabunga!"?

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Not interested in the modern cartoon series, but 1987 TMNT? Sign me up.

 

[ReiGun]

I'm watching the hell out of this. I love both the 2003 and 1987 Turtles, so this will be double fun for me.

On a side note, I'd forgotten how big 1987 April's boobs were.

Edit: Whoa, rewatching the clip, I just realized that 87 Leo's voice is Dark Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh.

Now, I'm gonna spend the whole special waiting for him to shout "It's time to duel!" Dan Green strikes again.:lol

 

[TreIII]

I pretty much spoiled every detail of the flick by reading the impressions of one who saw the first viewing months ago at ComicCon. :lol

That said, I'm still looking forward to seeing this for myself. If this is truly the "end of an era", prior to the TMNT being in the hands of Nickelodeon and Viacom, well...it was a good ride. *wistful smile, clutching his Volume 1 of the Collected Mirage comics*

Its cool to have an official thread, but yeah your search skills failed you a bit.

No Cam Clarke as Leo = FAIL

Just wanted to bump to remind everyone that this airs tomorrow morning at 10am!

 

[54-46!]

Heh, looks like old school fun

Now what about that new live action movie?

 

[Cow Mengde]

Here are some animatics to tied you over till tomorrow!

Even though they're animatics, don't watch them if you don't want to be spoiled.

[Gameboy415]

I had no idea this was being released....it looks great!

I've been watching the original show a lot lately (about 2/3 through season 2 so far) but I've never seen the newer series. I was afraid it would be be a mockery of my childhood like "TMNT: The Next Mutation"

Spoiler

with Venus de Milo and her turtle boobs...*shudder*

so I never bothered to watch. Is it worth checking out??

The 2003 series is quite good (as long as you make sure to bail once it switches over to "Fast Forward"). I've been told it's closer to the comics than the 80's incarnation, but I've never read the comics so I can't say. It is more serious in tone (not ridiculously so though), and as long as you aren't expecting it to be exactly like the 87 series, you'll probably like it.

 

[Enk]

Woah, they incorporated the old, original style in there as well. Badass.

 

[Timedog]

wait, 1984 fans? You mean like the comic book or whatever? I know for a fact that cartoon wasn't out in 1984 unless I lost my mind.

 

[Keyser Soze]

The cartoon started in 1987 on CBS, no need to get annoyed over a three year difference

Spoiler

unless a girl is involved

 

[AniHawk]

THIS WILL BE THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL-TIME

 

[Marvie_3]

Can't wait to see this!

 

[water_wendi]

Watching the trailer on youtube it shows a small part where its black and white and shows the older TMNT designs.. i take it the original comics have a small part in the story.

Too bad there wont be psychotic Baxter Stockman, TGRI brains, Triceratons, Fugitoid, or a Cerebus the Aardvark cameo :lol

 

[Bog]

Guess you never put a quarter into the arcade machine...

 

[Infinitemadness]

oh dammit, its 4am and just got home and came across this thread. No way I'll be able to catch this

 

[daegan]

DVR set!! :O So glad I saw this thread.

 

[Poona]

Perhaps there will be. All of those bar Cerebus (unless he appeared in an episode I missed) made appearances in the 2003 series.

 

[Ecto311]

I am not seeing any neutrinos listed, awesome. I always hated them.

 

[Timo]

As someone who has to deal with graphic design on occasion, that 'J' in Ninja is fucking annoying.
