I have the US triple feature, and the PQ is pretty good for what it is. The third disc is a coaster though.

Gosh, that's a shame for you that disc doesn't work.
Mine plays great and probably has the best PQ of the bunch.

Sorry but I got to give some love for the third one. My and my big brother would watch it a lot when we were kids. Good memories

As someone who should have nostalgia for TMNT 3 (I saw it in the cinema for my 11th birthday), it is VERY hard to sit through now (Hook is another film I saw a lot on VHS which I can barely stomach these days).

TMNT 3 is an abominable 2nd sequel to what I consider one of the top 5 comic book film adaptations ever made. TMNT 2 isn't great either - and is far too camp - but Ernie Reyes Jr is good value and at least it has a couple of fun fight set pieces, not to mention Ninja Rap!

I saw the thread bump, and I was a bit harsh on 3, rewatching recently I enjoyed it

I'm still not a fan of it but out of the three it's certainly the most cinematic so it has that as an advantage.

I would really enjoy if they managed to include the Barbara Walters interview from that movie. The bit where she questions the Turtles over their mother and Donatello starts squirting tears is hilarious!

In a perfect world they'd spend money to reanimate the Fred Wolf cartoon series. Realistically there's a slightly more cost effective way to process the episodes with AI to remaster it. Either way 80's cartoons are in danger of dying unless some restoration work is done. They just don't want to spend the money which is infuriating.

When the 80s cartoon was released here in Australian on DVD, the quality was appalling; squeezing as many as 15, if not more, episodes on one disc.

The review I watched for the recent complete series in the US shows they don't care:

Glad you enjoyed it but I still think you were right last time
The only bit I enjoy is the Casey Jones and samurais' bowling scene with Tarzan Boy playing on the soundtrack.
