When a magic scepter accidentally transports April back through time to 17th Century Japan, the boys take-off in hot pursuit, cowabungling their way out of the sewers right into Samurai-O-Rama! Now they must battle the evil Lord Norinaga to reclaim the magic scepter that will bring them back below the subways of New York City.
The turtles find themselves transported back in time to ancient Japan.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990's trilogy had its up & downs. The first movie in 1990 was alright. The second movie was watchable. The third movie directed by Stuart Gillard, was just not in the same as the others, and felt out of place. Since, the movie kill Shredder from the last movie, the movie needed a new plot. From all the rich plots and villains, they could had chosen like Krang, Rat King, or Baxter Stockman. The movie choice, none of them and instead create a new concept in which the Turtles travel back into time to 1603 feudal Japan. I have to give them some credit for trying to make something new out of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but couldn't they just wait until they run out of the establish concepts that the comics and television have provided for their viewers. The feudal Japan settling is pretty interesting, since not a lot of Americans movies at the time, provide that, and I'm glad, they got a lot of Japanese actors to play the supporting roles. Still, the way, they marched the two concepts into one, is dumb plot. So in the present day, April O'Neil (Paige Turco) been shopping at a flea market, and just happen to upon an ancient Japanese scepter that cause them to travel back into time! First off, what a weak establishment for how the Turtles came to hold of the ancient Japanese scepter. A flea market? It's never establish, how the ancient Japanese scepter even got to a flea market in America. Really bad storytelling here. You would had some treasure hunting fun adventure scenes with this, with the Turtles discovering it when travelling to Japan for their training, or the screenwriters could had a story where the turtles find a hideout of a criminal who stealing ancient artifacts, but no. Instead, April buy the Japanese scepter at some odd-screen flea market, and we don't see the turtles in action, until they travel back into time to rescue April. The movie really lack action scenes. Plus, none of them were anything new. The violent was toned down to the point to fit in the PG rating. Full of childish fighting styles, slow fight cinematography and bad one liners sayings. I really doubt they ever go back to the extremely good fighting scenes of the first movie. There were different fighting scenes shot for different countries. Such in the case of Great Britain, which had a law at the time against the presentation of martial arts weapons especially the Nunchakus. When watching both the American & US version, I can say, there is only a few differs. Most of them are in the opening scene. The movie opens up with them dancing to ZZ top in a goofy matter than fighting, anyways. I don't see the big deal. The build up to the turtles is so badly done. Unlike the previous films, the Jim Henson's Creature Shop did not provide the advanced animatronics and it shows how badly done it was. They look like giant underdeveloped frogs than the Turtles. You can even see the man's face in the costume through its mouth in some scenes. They really do lack the facial emotions of the previous films. I still love how they have the same or similar voice acting that was given to the turtles throughout the films. Since, the movie is PG, there wasn't that much foul language. So, there will no scenes of the turtles saying damn, here. I have to say, most of the turtles jokes were really unfunny due to it being out of context, or making no sense. I think, the most fun, I had in the film is with the Ancient Honor Guards with Casey Jones (Elias Koteas) in the present day. It was funny, seeing them dancing to Baltimora 'Tarzan Boy' and learning how to play Hockey. There is a lot of filler scenes with other characters, that didn't live up the turtles premise such as the Kenshin (Eidan Hanzei) love sub-plot. His acting was bad. The actor that play Walker (Stuart Wilson), the villain was pretty good. He looks a bit like a mixed with William Shatner & Kevin Costner. While, the acting isn't so great, I have to say the cinematography for this movie is pretty damn good. The opening shots of the horseman riding away from the samurais in the red rising sun background was amazing. Great use of locations. It really felt like they were in medieval Japan. The famous Turtle Rhapsody from the Orchestra on the Half Shell from the first two movies seem to be missing from this. Instead, it's plays unnoticeable Japanese folk music. Overall: I wouldn't shell money over to get the movie, but if you're a turtle fan. It's watchable, but just don't come in, hoping it's going to be as good as the cartoon or the previous films because you'll be deeply disappointing. It should tuck its head into its own movie shell in shame.
If there&#39;s one thing I can&#39;t stand in film, it&#39;s unnecessary sequels created to continue milking a franchise. It&#39;s even worse when sequel is nearly enough to ruin a franchise, such as the third Ninja Turtles film. The third film removed any sense of seriousness left over from the first film and amplified the campiness of the second film. In this installment of the Ninja Turtle trilogy, the team must use a magic scepter to travel back to 17th century feudal Japan to rescue April who had teleported on accident. It seems blatantly obvious at this point that the filmmakers were running out of ideas by this point.<br/><br/>In my personal opinion, this time travel plot line feels like a major cop-out. It&#39;s as if the filmmakers had no previous experiences with the franchise (whether it be the movies, cartoons, or comics) and, rather than pull from existing popular story arcs, writer/director Stuart Gillard thought to himself, &quot;What would be a WACKY adventure for these guys? DUH! Time travel!&quot;. If I never see another comedy that relies on the tired fish-out-of-water routine for the rest of my life, I&#39;ll be a happy man. The bulk of the movie&#39;s humor relies on the Turtles being tossed into 17th century Japan, and five men from Japan being introduced to modern times in exchange. Why couldn&#39;t the filmmakers have gone with something, I don&#39;t know…entertaining? I would&#39;ve much preferred to see the Baxter Stockman/Mousers story arc brought to the big screen instead of the &quot;zaniness&quot; of Ninja Turtles trying to ride horses.<br/><br/>On a positive note, Elias Koteas returns as Casey Jones, one of my favorite elements from the first film. Koteas is actually in a double-role: Casey Jones and Whit, one of Walker&#39;s crew members in Japan. Koteas brings some humor to the movie and actually makes some parts of the movie enjoyable. Paige Turco returns for a second run as April O&#39;Neil, though she seems to be hamming it up a bit more this time and comes off as irritating more often than not. Probably my biggest complaint on the film&#39;s recasting was Splinter&#39;s voice; James Murray replaced Kevin Clash (who had voiced the character in both I and II). Rather than the voice of a Japanese elder that we became accustomed to, it now sounds as if Splinter is a guy with a bad case of laryngitis. It&#39;s distracting and a bit of a let-down.<br/><br/>The third film is a major disappointment for the Ninja Turtle franchise. It practically killed the series until Kevin Munroe revived it in 2007 with his CGI film. When it comes to the Ninja Turtles, I wish filmmakers would give us less Three Stooges-style slapstick and concentrate more on decent stories and creating great action sequences. And, please, no more time travel.
Smashingly stupid.
Due to Britain&#39;s strict policy with regard to martial arts weapons the old VHS of this Turtles movie used several alternative scenes in order to avoid this set of problems in the UK. With the abolition of the BBFC&#39;s agenda the movie got released in its uncut version on DVD in Britain.
