Australia Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1, 2 & 3 (October 7)

Just noticed on JB's website that Umbrella will be releasing the three original Ninja Turtles movies in October.

the only one really worth having is the 1st... the parents killed the rest of the franchise by making it be toned down with Vanilla Ice rubbish, and the turtles not even using their weapons.

Will buy the original first one for sure

Wow, those covers look pretty amateurish, especially the reverse

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Teena...Blu-ray/74066/
or
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Teena...y/4096/#Review

there's never going to be any special features for these


I bought the 4 pack for 9.99

The German releases have some nice extras including audio commentaries, vintage featurettes and deleted scenes.

Spoke to Umbrella earlier and it turns out we'll be getting the American version. Don't know why they didn't go with the German release that actually had decent extras.

I was thinking, should Umbrella alter the artwork for movies 1 and 2 as the turtles don't look how they do in those movies? It looks like they used publicity shots from the third movie on all three covers, when they actually looked different in each.

I came here to say the same thing. They used shots from III on all the covers... that drives me crazy. Not that I will actually get these, but the principal of thing bothers me.

I'll contact them tomorrow about it. Don't know what I'd say if they asked "Does it really matter?"

It matters cause the suits from III are horrible when compared to Jim Henson's studios awesome suits. The suits from III don't represent the series at their best.

I think that any distributor who says about their mistakes "Does it really matter?" doesn't really care at all. All they're interested in is making a profit from the sale not about the quality of the product itself.

Then I am not sure what I would do, but since I already have the US versions on Blu, it doesn't matter.

This is indeed a fortune star release. But do not let that deter you from owning this. PQ / AQ are solid. The classic golden harvest logo is a nice touch as well.

I heard Fortune Stars transfers of the TNMTs are upscales ala the rest of their older "HD" remasters, is that true?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but would anyone that owns these releases mind commenting on the quality? I saw the first 2 cheap in-store and wondering if I should pick them up. Thanks
