Special Feature:
Behind-The-Scenes Footage

Today's post features a great collection of behind-the-scenes footage from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. These scenes were included sporadically on the new "Turtle Power" documentary as brief clips and picture-in-picture shot. I have cropped them as best as I can for full screen viewing. I also removed the documentary audio and replaced it with some of the film score.

No rights are implied with this video, and I HIGHLY recommend watching the entire "Turtle Power" documentary that this clip originates from!

Magazine Article:
Black Belt Magazine Presents
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Fall 1991

In the later half of 1991, Black Belt Magazine published this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles special issue. The target audience for the magazine was obviously children and a large portion of the content focuses on the second Ninja Turtles film... But there was just enough tidbits from the first film included that I felt it was worth including the entire special here. Enjoy!
