In 1991, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles returned to the big screen for their second live-action film in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, The Secret of Use, also

know

n as The Secret of Vanilla Ice, this time the more tone is introduced. slapstick from the cartoon series while still maintaining the aesthetic look of the first movie, but still a fun and fun ninja turtle game, where this time the evil Shredder is back and seeks revenge on the teenage mutant ninja turtles and his rat splinter sensei, where he is behind the mutagen that transforms the turtles so that he can create his own mutated monsters to defeat the turtles in this turtles sequel that rejects the violence of the first film and, for better or worse, opts for a more kid-friendly approach, so it's time to get hands-on with the ninja. as we go back to the glory days of 1991, 30 years ago, and look at 10 Things You Didn't Know About Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Secret Of The Years Now I Feel Old Number 10 Hurry Up To Get A Sequel When The Original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Ninja Turtles movie was released in 1991 and was a massive success that grossed more than $200 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing independent film of that time, so a mad race began to quickly release a sequel as soon as possible.

It was the height of Turtle mania, thanks not only to the original movie but also to the action figures from the animated series and the Nintendo game. Yes, the world had gone crazy for turtles and it was amazing, just like the original movie. Golden Harvest and Uline Cinema were producing the sequel, but 20th Century Fox distributed the film internationally, in fact, I remember seeing the trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 on the Home Alone VHS and being really excited about it, even unlike the first film which was directed by Coneheads director Steve Barron. The Secret of Use was directed by Michael Pressman, who primarily directed television shows, including Law and Order Chicago Hope and the recent TV show Sherlock Elementary.

I always felt that the

secret

of use feels more commercial than the original dinner. It doesn't feel as gritty as its predecessor with the violence toned down. With more cartoon violence instead of slapstick, The Secret of Use is also a pretty strange movie, and given that it's a ninja turtle movie, that's saying something, thanks to its super sausage nuchuck crusher and ninja wrapper. vanilla ice, the

secret

of use is a little cuco banana bread. Cray Cray, if the first film is inspired by Tim Burton's Batman, then I would have to say that the secret of use is inspired by the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, but still the mad rush to get the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles out teenagers of the floor also worked as it was.

Released just a year after the original movie number nine, The Secret of Use was going to have a different villain, so presumably it looked like at the end of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, the turtle's final enemy, Shredder , had met his creator. Whether it was or not, but originally the shredder was going to stay dead and the secret of use was going to focus on a different villain for the turtles to take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Ladd wanted mad Professor Baxter Stockman to be the The main villain of the second film, Baxter, was a character who appeared in the second issue of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic, where the character created robots mechanics called mice and became a mortal enemy for the turtles.

The character also appeared in the cartoon where he became a mutant fly creature, I guess it made sense to Eastman and led to introducing the second Ninja Turtles villain in the second film, but the secret production production thought it would be too complicated. bring the mouse or robots to life on the big screen. screen probably due to time and budget reasons, so it was decided to have the character of Shredder return with more changes in the script where professor baxter became professor perry and was an ally of the turtles instead of a villain and was played by the legendary david warner number 8 is not all bebop and rocksteady from krang to the rat king the brand of teenage mutant ninja turtles sure has a great selection of super villains and, even though baxter stockman's character was removed from the secret of use, the production still wanted to make use of the wide range of ninja turtle characters and introduced the bebop and rocksteady characters to the big screen for the secret of use the characters were designed by peter led specifically for the series animated and toy range Playmates and the two bumbling sidekick villains had proven very popular, however the creators of the turtle, Kevin Eastman and Peter Led, supposedly denied the use of bebop and rocksteady in secret, as they were apparently not Fans of the happier, sillier tone that The Secret of Use was coming in, wanted something more edgy and grounded like the first film.

Now keep in mind that their original comics could often get really dark and violent, while the studio wanted the secret of use to be more like the cartoon series of that time, the creators. I felt that using bebop and rocksteady would be the ultimate draw to take Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 in a completely silly direction, so the secret of use introduces new mutant characters called Razza and touches on those who like bebop and rocksteady are bumbling companions. who work for shredder almost all turtle fans have pointed out that despite the name and species change, the characters are basically bebop and rocksteady razzar and plays would even appear in the ninja turtles cartoons, as well as in future comics where , surprisingly, they actually seemed quite intimidating, apparently there was also talk of Crane appearing in Secret of the Use, but that character was also denied further in that later casting number seven.

Well, there are several interesting bits when it comes to the cast of Secret of the Use. Actor and martial artist Ernie Reyes Jr. played Kino. a pizza delivery man and martial arts expert who becomes a companion to the turtles as a child. I always related to the character Kino because I felt like he represented me and all the other kids who wanted to go on an adventure with the ninja turtles. Even though Reyes was a teenager at the time, Reyes was no stranger to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as he played Donatello in the previous film, but before he was a Ninja Turtle's sidekick, he was actually a Ninja Turtle. .

Donatello was voiced by 80s child star corey feldman. in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, but did not return for the sequel supposedly due to the bad publicity he was experiencing in his personal life at the time, so Donatello was voiced by voice actor Adam Kull, but by Corey Feldman. I would give voice again. Donatello in the third film Frank Welker provided the voices of Tap and Pray and Super Shredder was played by professional wrestler Kevin Nash There was also a major change in the cast with the character of April O'Neil in the first film The Television Reporter and Turtle's best friend was played by Judith Hogue but secretly the character was played by actress Paige Turco.

This was supposedly done because during the making of the first film Hogue kept complaining about the violence in that film and the general direction of the film. film also a prominent character in the The first film was Casey Jones, who was also popular in the cartoons and comics, however, secretly from usage, Casey Jones was nowhere to be found nor is it mentioned that Casey Jones did not appear in secret of use, since the character was considered a bad influence. for children by parent groups thanks to the character's trick of turning everyday objects like hockey sticks into weapons and his hockey mask was also considered too scary for children, yeah it's a little crazy looking back

know

ing that once upon a time the People were afraid of Casey. jones and oh no one will think of the poor kids number six the real secret of use remember when it was announced that michael bay was going to reboot the ninja turtles and how he said that in his movie the turtles will actually turn out to be aliens, which led to that the Ninja Turtles fanbase completely lost their minds until, thankfully, the subplot changed.

Well, it seems Bay wasn't the first person to explore the idea of ​​turtles being aliens or at least products of extraterrestrial technology. since in secret of use there was going to be a revelation that the mutagen that transformed the turtles was of alien origin, specifically an alien race called ultrons, who in the mythology of the ninja turtles are the same alien species as krang, yes, Remember when I said there were ideas floating around to introduce Crane to the secret of the mucus, that's probably the story point that would have tied him into the movie, but regardless, back in the early '90s there were already ideas that the turtles They were products of aliens that would have actually led to the setup of the third film and the second ended on something of a cliffhanger, but the idea of ​​aliens was probably scrapped due to time and budget reasons, so the mutagen

ooze

simply exuded, which is why the movie was called The Secret of Using It had a secret to reveal, but with the alien subplot removed, there's really no secret unless the mutations are the secret, but anyone who read the comics or saw the cartoon would have already known that teenage vanilla ice number five hugged the ninja turtles, so now we come. to that famous scene where the ninja turtles crash a vanilla rice concert where vanilla rice starts to take off its ninja casing that made all of us 90s kids screaming "come on ninja, come on ninja, come on, yeah , it wouldn't be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 episode without bringing up the vanilla rice cameo that marks the joyful occasion of bringing the ninja turtles and vanilla rice together.

The scene is from the early 90s and can only exist in the early 90s. the 90s and is very impressive in its own unique and crazy way. See David Warner coming out. a movement here vanilla rice came on the scene like a pound of bacon in the early 90s thanks to his huge hit ice-ice baby, in the one who bathed with ice everywhere, becoming a great sensation of the time and because he was just as popular as the turtles, someone in the production of Ninja Turtle 2 had the great idea of ​​secretly making vanilla rice appear for usage, where he was told to collaborate, listen and film the iconic scene, however, when Vanilla Rice showed up on set to film it.

It was anything but a match made in heaven when one of the stuntmen playing the turtles ran up to Vanilla Rice in costume but fully dressed as a ninja turtle, as he was very excited to see the rapper and tried to hug him. This supposedly led to a fight between the enthusiastic ninja turtle and one of Vanilla Ice's bodyguards, honestly I think it's a shame that that wasn't filmed and put in the movie, since a fight scene between a ninja turtle and Vanilla Rice's entourage would have been truly epic though at the time. I'm sure Vanilla Rice

didn

't see the funny side in retrospect.

I think everyone has to agree that this whole ordeal is actually pretty funny. Number four dedicated to a Muppet legend. Jim Henson worked on the Ninja Turtles costumes and puppets. work for the original Ninja Turtles movie that literally brought the characters to life on the big screen, however, sadly, after working on the movie, Jim Henson passed away leaving a great legacy, however, the secret of use, Jim Henson was still there in spirit as Jim. Henson Creature Shop was used for costume and puppet work and even though Henson was not personally attached to the film because he was no longer with us, the secret of the use is still dedicated to him, which is nice, it's good to recognize an iconic legend like henson that hides the use of one of the two films dedicated to jim henson, the other being the muppet carol, despite this, although henson's creature workshop was not used for the ninja turtles teenage mutants 3 and yes, well, it shows a little, unfortunately, jim henson.

He actually wasn't a fan of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. He found her unnecessarily violent, which is a shame. I wonder if he would be alive now. If he would still feel the same way either way. I still love Jim Henson, toy line number three. There was something like a range of action figures based on the secret of use or ratherboth ninja turtle movies combined, as ninja turtle toy enthusiasts were greeted with ninja turtle action figures that were more accurate to how they appear in the movies with the famous ninja turtle movie. star alignment this time the figures were more rubbery meaning you could bend them and I can remember as a kid thinking the rubbery material used smelled funny yes it really did smell funny but it was still a great novelty to have action .

Turtle figures as they appeared in the movies, the lineup also included Super Shredder and the characters Toca and Razar, which were a must have for fans back then, interestingly, many commercials for Ninja Turtles action figures from that era They introduced the ninja. turtle costumes from the movies and it's interesting to see how the movie turtles are used for toy advertisements as it really improved the quality of the commercials and will probably be the only time you will see a live action Michelangelo dressed as a cowboy , which really is a sight to behold, archie comics also released a comic book adaptation of the film where unlike the film we got to see the turtles use their weapons in those days the ninja turtles toy range was It was getting a little out of control. cowboy turtles transforming turtles sports star turtles and in this case police turtles and fighting turtles, but we kids

didn

't care, as long as it had the ninja turtle brand, we bought it or rather bothered our parents to They got them for us, number two.

The British weren't amused, so yes, throughout this episode I've mentioned several times that there was a lot of negative criticism of the first film because of how dark it was and its use of violence, so to accommodate this and make The Secret of the more commercial use, the second film was more cartoonish and comedic, where we barely see the turtles using their weapons, instead we only see them defeat enemies with other items such as yo-yos and other toys, however, Minor cuts still had to be made for the film's UK release, namely the removal of the scene in which Michelangelo uses a strip of sausages as nunchucks.

The British film classification board was so terrified of nunchucks that they even removed them from the cartoon show, I guess the secret production of the use. I thought that if Michelangelo doesn't use nunchakus but sausages, then he would be fine, but no, he wasn't and the scene was cut. I guess in the UK they were afraid that kids would get a chain of sausages and attack people with them and my goodness, saying it out loud like that really does sound crazy, let's not forget, although in the UK the cartoon had They were renamed Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles because it was felt that the word ninja was too violent, however, Michelangelo's sausage nunchuck forms were brought back to the British version of the film for a DVD release in 2002.

I guess in 2002 they realized that the prospect of sausages being used as weapons was pretty silly. The second highest-grossing independent film. The Secret of Its Use was released in March 1991 and grossed over $78 million in the US and Canada and another $54 million worldwide, with a budget of $25 million, it had a huge financial success, although its figures did not entirely coincide with those of the original film, keeping the use of the second a secret. The highest-grossing independent film of that era, with the first being the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, the film earned fairly average reviews from critics, as it was considered simply silly to keep kids entertained for 88 minutes, but still That's how it was entertaining, a great criticism of the film.

What I got was how the turtles' violence was toned down, making them seem sillier and more youthful than in the first movie and many fans miss the dark and gritty atmosphere of that first movie and critics also comment that this time the turtles were just clowning around. . Well these critics even know who the Ninja Turtles are, that's their thing, they're dumb and juvenile, I mean they're teenagers, after all, Siskel and Ebert felt the movie wasn't as good as the entertainment they had when they were children. Ah yes, the classical stuff was much better in my time.

The argument is usually spoken by older generations who don't understand the new generations and what they like and also don't have the time tolerance or interest in trying to understand, I think. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is an example that there is no point in trying to kneel to appease commercialism and the people who criticize a product are after all the ones who complained about the first movie, even the ninja turtles fans are them those who buy. t-shirts and a surprising irony, even after changes were made to make Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 more kid-friendly, they were still complaining and complaining and complaining about it.

I think the secret used production had the best of intentions and generally tried to appease those who criticized and spoke against the first film and in fact strayed too far from what made the first film so special in trying to stop the naysayers, they actually disappointed some of the true fans, so it's best to stay true to your brand and move on. with what works instead of appeasing people who are going to complain anyway, no matter what they say, I love the secrecy of using it, it's a guilty pleasure and it's silly and ridiculous but I still have a lot of fun with it, maybe I'm biased because it's a part of my childhood, but it's just a fun time capsule of the era it was made in and it means that well, look, if 1991 was a movie, then this is the movie, so enjoy it so it's a fun slapstick game with our favorite.

Heroes in a Half Shell The funny thing is that when I was a kid I liked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 more than the first because it was more colorful and comical, but as I grew up I changed and I like the first movie. more so now because I appreciate its dark tone and atmosphere and how it was a pretty edgy kids movie at the time, so I guess that sums up the secret of use, but if you're a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan, I'd still say give it a watch. glance. It's a guilty pleasure but it's still a lot of fun anyway I'm minty and I guess you could say that sums it up ninja rat see you so
