The crime-fighting Turtles — Michaelangelo (Michelan Sisti), Donatello (Leif Tilden), Raphael (Kenn Troum), and Leonardo (Mark Caso) — return in this sequel to the popular superheroes’ first film. The Turtles’ archenemy Shredder kidnaps nutty professor Jordan Perry (David Warner), inventor of the infamous ooze, in order to use the green goo to destroy the Turtles. Shredder enlists his hapless German shepherd puppy named Rahzar and a baby snapping turtle named Toko and turns them into horrible and imposing ninja warriors. But on the Turtles’ side is proficient kick-boxing pizza boy Keno (Ernie Reyes Jr.), who uses his moves to help the Turtles stop Shredder and his monster warriors. Featuring a fight scene between the Turtles and Shredder’s mutants at a Vanilla Ice show. Go ninja, go!
“The same unabashed enjoyment of color and movement, of spectacular athletics and outrageous stunts, that animates the Hong Kong action cinema as a whole and makes it so superbly entertaining.” —Dave Kehr, Chicago Tribune
