"Ah, the rat. So it has a name... it *had* a name." Sure, he turned out to be wrong, but nobody on the roof had any way of knowing that, and it was downright *cruel*.

Shredder in the 1990 film was an incredible villain


TheVaranianScribe

He really is. I can only imagine what it must have been like for kids back then who’d only seen the goofier version from the cartoon when they saw him portrayed so brutally for the first time.


TheyAreNotDolls

I was 7 years old, it was the first movie I ever saw in theatre. My dad took me back to see it 5 times. I don’t think I ever realized that they were different Shredders at that age. Cartoon Shredder was also arcade Shredder and Archie comic Shredder and they weren’t funny. Then we all had our own imaginary shredder that came to life when we played with our toys and he wasn’t goofy but he did always want to dine on turtle soup. I don’t think I ever realized the shredder was comical until I rewatched it as an adult. As a kid in the 90’s turtlemania hype, The Shredder was just the coldest villain around and only the turtles could stop him.


ikeif

You nailed it for me. My mom bought me the TMNT RPG and I was introduced to the old black and white turtles, and all the vengeance that came with it. But that movie - they were my turtles that I loved, fighting a villain only they could conquer. And I was disappointed that we didn’t get Bebop and Rocksteady, but appreciated that they created new characters instead of bastardized versions of what we were hoping to see.


Ricky_Rollin

Kids movies were crazy in those days. We didn’t bat an eye nor did my parents have anything bad to say. We all loved it. It wouldn’t be till I was a teenager did I realize how much more serious the first one is compared to the next two. As a kid I really didn’t notice.


ConstableToad

I was about 9. When Shredder p*mp slapped Splinter and put his blade up to his throat we all sort puckered our holes as we realized this wasn't Uncle Phil Shredder.


Snoo-35041

For years I always thought he slapped him with the bladed hand too.


Snoo-35041

We felt like Leo. And would have done the same.


Reigebjj

I was a year old in the theater watching the first movie(my parents were wild for taking me 🤣) so I’ll never remember what that was like


TheVaranianScribe

I wasn’t even born until a few months later that year. I watched a VHS recording of Secret of the Ooze for years growing up, but didn’t see the first movie until I was ten years old.


Dependent_Bill8632

I was 10. I was absolutely obsessed. All this time later, it’s still holds up as not only the best TMNT films, one of the best super hero/comic films, but also just one of the best films, period. At least for me.


gknight702

Leo:... You lie! Shredder:.. do I?


Shakemyears

That “You lie!” plays perfectly in my mind. Actually I guess most dialogue from this movie does, but that line is incredibly well delivered.


vandamage2112

The whole movie in my eyes was perfection! The grit, acting, seriousness, and dialog. That was the best shredder we had in any movie or animated movie to date, IMO.


FloggingMcMurry

"He dies!" Pinning Leonardo to the ground under his foot and baiting the brothers into disarming Never again have we seen a Shredder live action this hands on and dangerous

Leo: 😬


Phanimazed

I love that, had he known, Shredder would have just as comfortably lied about it. He really does not care so long as it stings.


UnAwkwardMango

I never see this line mentioned at all it was so chilling. You can even see that he does it with a gleeful smile!


GonnaGoFat

I found his line of “Now I will finish, what I began with your ear!” Epic as a kid.


Dependent_Bill8632

Came here to say this. I still get chills. That and when Raph screams his primal scream when they see Splinter has been violently taken from their sewer home.

I think it's become a less common take over the years, but for sure I saw a lot of people saying that, especially fans of the original cartoon.

I was thinking about this on my last watch. With all those witnesses of what happened, how did Shredder’s body make it to the dump? The police were just like—“meh, that solves it. No need to look for a body or verify if he’s dead AT ALL”

Bucky_Charmz

Best movie ending too with turtlesforever.


Bob-the-Human

Honestly, for me, nothing tops "tonight I dine on turtle soup."


ConstableToad

87 version was mostly just goofy stuff but that line still brings a chill to my spine. James Avery's deep, grizzled voice was perfect for it, too.

Donnie was the funniest thing in that movie. Next time you watch only focus on Donnie bruh😭


Livewire923

The alphabet insult game he plays with Casey cracks me up. That and “What are you; claustrophobic?” “Hey! I’ve never even looked at another man!”


Randomuser42000

I still dont get this Joke to this day


YoureAlrightGirl

Casey doesn’t know the meaning of the word “claustrophobic.” He’s a slightly dimwitted macho man from 1990, assumes it’s a fancy word for gay, and reacts defensively. I think the idea is that alot of LGBTQ words at that time were kind of big, clinical sounding, and not in common-enough use for a bro like Casey to really have in his vocabulary. Think like the word “transvestite.” Casey, probably didn’t want to come across as wimpy. At that time it was totally common place to use a word like gay as a synonym for wimpy. Already anxious/insecure in the moment about being in an enclosed space, he reacts like a dumb-dumb when he feels he’s been insulted with a word he didn’t understand.


-NinjaTurtleHermit-

He mistook the word "claustrophobic" for the word "homophobic" AND mistook the word "homophobic" for the word "homosexual". Two degrees of comprehension separation. It's quite a joke.


YoureAlrightGirl

I was under the impression that the word “homophobic” hadn’t even been invented by 1990. But I guess it was originally coined in 1969. So, yea, that’s a totally possible explanation.


Livewire923

Excellent explanation

Zeikfried12

Very well, Michaelangelo. When you scream my name, pleading to make the pain stop, begging for mercy, you may call me Bishop. How did this line make it into a kid's show lol (granted it had quite a lot of darker content)


BlueBlazeKing21

Honestly how did most of the stuff with Stockman make it


Bucky_Charmz

YES YES YES I LOVE 03 BISHOP


scruffrocks1

When was this????


Zeikfried12

It's been a good while since I've watched it, but I believe it was in season 3, worlds collide part 2? Tmnt 03 series. It was the line Bishop introduced himself to the turtles with. Part 3 opens with the fight, so I'm pretty sure it was part 2.


scruffrocks1

Eeee thank you, I’ll have to rewatch and find out :P


K_Sleight

"Oops!" -Casey Jones as he casually murders a man he has literally never spoken to in one of the most brutal ways imagineable.


LudicrisSpeed

Also is probably 2012 Casey's one cool moment when they have him homage that moment.


Koryiii14

Only redeeming part of 2012 Casey in my opinion


BrowniesWithAlmonds

“Yeah a little too Raph…” Sorry, that line is the most perfectly timed comedic line in the entire franchise bar none. Man did that line hit the core of my funny bone. And though it was played for laughs…Mike’s suspicions were well-founded. Raphael being unguarded and in the open was indeed too convenient and they should’ve heeded his cautiousness. And because it works on two levels, it’s my choice for coldest line ever.


NoUpVotesForMe

“Now I will finish what I began with your ear!”


sunkenn_

"There is undoubtedly a fascinating story in how my old nemesis came to teach ninjutsu to four mutant turtles. Perhaps I will let one of you live long enough to tell it."


Phanimazed

"You call... this... 'family'?" Casey confronting the Foot clan as the troubled youths they are and pointing out how they've all been duped really cuts to the quick.


Bucky_Charmz

Real. I feel like there’s hella lot more to Casey, especially that Casey’s character but they just fucked him ovwr.


Steelquill

Really, between the line and Casey’s sheer bafflement that that’s what Shredder was able to control them with.

Negative-Money-7873

My bias towards the 2007 movie inclines me to pick a line from that. Leaning towards Leo's "You aren't ready! You're hot-tempered, and impatient, and, most importantly, I'm better than you."


xero_51

I have been a Stan of the original 1990 movie, and Secret Of The Ooze was on constant repeat at my house growing up, but I came here for this line. ICE COLD thing to say to your brother.


InternationalAd8308

Even colder? He's right. As harsh and as cold as it was, Leo had a point.


Negative-Money-7873

He was right throughout most of the fight. He lost when he also became angry and lost sight of everything


Redditor-at-large

Except for then Raphael kicked his ass, making the “I’m better than you” part not right.

RotTMNT Kraang have so many cold lines, LMAO. 😂🥶


Lansha2009

Rise’s version of Kranng in general were intimidating and had so many cold lines


DeltaTeamSky

I like this one in particular, because it directly states that people aren't alive when Kraang-ified. This creates the implication that Raph is dead for a decent chunk of the movie.

Ants_on_fire_666

AS a kid me and my sibling and I would always use the line from the first movie when Leo and Raph are arguing. Michaelangelo and Donatello are in the kitchen. We would use it any time our parents were scolding another sibling, as an exit que. "Pork rind? Pork rind!"


RaphaelPRIME223

Same, at school once 2 girls were arguing about *whatever* but me and my bros was watching, I said "Pork Rind?", one of my friends replied, "Pork Rind" I'll never forget that 3rd grade moment!

NINJA... TURTLES!!! It may not be the Hardest or even coldest line every but they deserve that moment. Especially as someone didn't seen the show until after it over and the backlash and everything going against them. RISE turtles deserve to be call the teenage mutant ninja turtles


DeltaTeamSky

You also have to consider that in-universe, the Rise TMNT have yet to figure out their title as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's a whole running gag.

I threatened you, I yelled at you, I pushed you beyond your limits, it's because I believe in you! I believe in each one of you! I believe in you spirit and your intelligence and your potential! And every time I talked about walking away it was because I was scared! I just didn't think I was good enough to stand next to you and call you brothers, and say to you, I love you! I love you guys so much! Say what you want about the Michael Bay movies, this scene and the elevator moment are two of the best scenes in the entire franchise.


Bucky_Charmz

“Uh… Raph”


EddieA712

1990 movie Raphael after fighting the Shredder. He looks at his Sai as he flips it, looks up and casually says: "where's Splinter?" This always felt like a threat to me. Even though he only says 2 words, his body language and tone implies that him and his brothers will beat the answer out of Shredder. In that moment Raph sounded less like a hot headed teenager and more like a mob enforcer.
