Before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were being molded after Bill Murray, they were being molded after a pale imitation of a successful first movie, with everything fun stripped away because of a hurried production and the humoring of special interest groups who didn’t like weapons, fighting, or anything ninja-related. That’s right, Screen Junkies just ninja’d an Honest Trailer onto YouTube, and this time they’re taking on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze. Ahem, I mean “ooooooze“.
Check it out above to relive the magic and the mystery of villains who stand around and do nothing, “ninja” turtles who can’t hide or sneak around, an April O’Neil imposter who asked for less money, and protagonists who wouldn’t pull out their weapons even when caught in a net made of very cutable rope. Oh, and a dance break with Vanilla Ice. “No, Ninja, No, Ninja, No!”
And be sure to check back tomorrow for a little something special about this ooze. Wait. That didn’t come out right…

Ni**a Turtles on Youtube is the only Turtles I want to watch anymore.
Goddammit its brilliant.
“Man, these hoes is cheese on a board.” In my entire life I’ve never received more sage like advice.
I saw this movie in theaters when I was 9 and all I remember is that I had a horrible fever and was delirious and miserable. 0 stars.
My first boner resents that jab at super hot new April o Neil!
I always hated this one. At least there was actual swordplay in the third on
The third one was so fuck-awful though.
I was doing so many shitty karate movies after I came home from this movie, that shit got me pumped!
Still better than the live action TV show.
I rewatched this with my wife a few weeks ago. She had never seen it. We both agreed that it’s clearly a little kid’s movie… but it’s still fun. I did notice for the first time ever that Shredder just stands and watches every fight in the movie. He literally never does anything to help beat the turtles until he grabs the girl at the end and even then he doesn’t really move much. A mannequin could have/should have played his part.
“a mannequin should have played his part” …
Um … Super Shredder was played by Kevin Nash who was basically today’s Batista.
New April was on Law & Order as a super aggressive pro-sex professional woman who raped a male stripper.
She was a recurring character on Person of Interest.
I liked this as a kid, but never noticed how badly they tried to avoid using weapons
