Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II – The Secret of the Ooze(VHS 1991)
REview from a fan–This film opens with tremendous confidence and energy. The humor of the
Turtles may be so 1990 but I still dig it. The opening scene in the shopping mall
is way funny and a great way to introduce is to the sequel. At the time the style
of the Turtles wasn’t so stale, so the plot may seem a bit childish or dumb now.
I have no doubts that if this movie were made today it would not be subtitled ‘The
Secret of the Ooze’. One can hardly expect high art from a movie called Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles II but they could have subtitled it something a little less crass. Apparently
taking place right after the first movie (where’s Casey) it wastes no time bringing back the
Shredder and the rest of the Foot Clan.

This time Shredder aims to steal the cannister of ooze that mutated our heroes so he can make
his own monsters to avenge his defeat. The result is Tokka and Rahzar and it seems like a half-attempt
at a live-action version of Rocksteady and Bebop. As you can imagine, this plot isn’t very clever.
But the movie never really lulls so long as our heroes are on screen.
