Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The 1987 debut season of the wildly popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' first animated TV series finally arrives in its entirety on this single disc. And while it's a pleasure to have these long-unavailable episodes in DVD format, the set's lackluster presentation and paltry extras also make it a disappointment for those hoping for a more expansive release. Volume One contains the five-episode "miniseries" that comprised the debut season and explained the Turtles' origins; the episodes are presented with opening and closing credits, though offered as single chapters on the disc. The "bonus" material is four episodes from the series' tenth and final season, which were largely unseen in the U.S. (though some U.K. viewers may have caught them). While interesting from a completist perspective, their inclusion clashes somewhat with the first-season episodes, as the series' look and tone had changed considerably by this point. And when combined with the disc's overall lack of quality picture and sound (video masters appear to have been used), Volume One represents something of a missed opportunity for TMNT fans; however, having the first season on a single disc may be an acceptable trade. --Paul Gaita

Raph:
Where's Splinter?

Shredder:
Ah, the rat. So it has a name. It had a name.

Leo:
[angrily] YOU LIE!

Shredder:
[evilly smiles] Do I?

[Leo angrily charges toward Shredder, but Shredder flips Leo, and points his yari to Leo's neck]

Shredder:
[To Raph, Donnie and Mikey] He [Leo] dies. Weapons! [Gestures with his head] NOW!! [Raph, Donnie and Mikey discard their weapons to save Leo.] Fools! [chortles] The three of you may have overpowered me with the loss of but one. Now your fate... WILL BE HIS!! [Brings back his yari and prepares to stab Leo.]

Raph, Mikey, and Donnie:
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Suddenly, Splinter appears startling Shredder]

Mikey:
Splinter!

[Leonardo seeing Shredder in shock rolls away back to the other Turtles]

Splinter:
Yes, Oroku Saki, I know who you are. We met many years ago, in the home of my master... Hamato Yoshi!

[Shredder removes his mask, revealing the scars underneath from their last encounter, revealing him to be Oroku Saki.]

Raph:
It's him [Oroku Saki].

Oroku Saki:
[angrily] You. Now I will finish what I began with YOUR EAR! [attempts to joust Splinter, but his yari is caught in a nunchaku chain and he is hanging over the edge of a building]

Splinter:
Death comes for us all, Oroku Saki, but something much worse comes for you, for when you die, it will be... [Oroku Saki reaches for the back of his belt, takes out a knife and throws it at Splinter, who dodges and grabs it and, at the same time, releases Shredder, who falls, screaming, into the dustcart] ...without honor.

Casey:
Oops! [Activates the trash compactor with Shredder inside]
