Read more about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Live Action) at: Wikipedia Official Site: Mirage Comics Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the 1990 American live-action film based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. The film was followed by three sequels, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze in 1991, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III in 1993, and TMNT in 2007. This film presents the origin story of Splinter and the Turtles, the initial meeting between them, April O'Neil and Casey Jones, and their first confrontation with Shredder and his Foot Clan. The film's core plot closely follows that of the first published TMNT stories, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1-3, Raphael#1, Leonardo#1, TMNT #10-11 as well as the Return To New York storyline (#19-21). This movie is distributed by New Line Cinema and outside the United States is internationally distributed by Golden Harvest. When the NYPD is unable to stop a severe crime wave caused by the Foot Clan, four new vigilantes, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael, come forth to save the city. Under the leadership of Splinter and together with their new-found allies April O'Neil and Casey Jones, they fight back and take the battle to Shredder. The film kept very close to the dark feel of the original comics with several elements also taken from the animated series that was airing at the time, such as April being a news reporter, and the turtles having different-colored masks, as opposed to the uniform red masks of the comic. The film was the highest-grossing independent film of all time when it was released, and became the fifth highest grossing film worldwide of 1990 and the most successful TMNT film. As an unsolved crime wave rises in New York City, April O'Neil (Judith Hoag), reporter for Channel 3 Eyewitness News, covers the reports and rumors of a mysterious 'Foot Clan,' which seems to be the organization that is plaguing the city, much to the ire of Police Chief Sterns (Raymond Serra), who refuses to acknowledge their existence. That night, April is attacked in an alley by a group of thugs, but a flying metal object shatters the nearby street light, and the men are quickly taken down by an unseen group of assailants. While police are investigating the attack, April finds the sai responsible for knocking out the street light and takes it. One of her rescuers, watching from the cover of the sewers, curses himself for his bad luck.
