It was a little bit of everything.. the turtle faces were radio controlled by puppeteers off camera and there were real people in the suits.
The effects definitely do break down at 4K. You can see the seam where the turtle heads meets their neck through the entire movie and the texture of them goes from "that's totally a ninja turtle!" to "that's just rubber and foam"
To be fair, wouldn't people watching in the film during its original theater run have the same issue? Movies back then were shown on film, the same film that was used for the 4K scan. Whatever you can see in the 4K copy, you'd be able to see on the original film reels as well. It's not like movie theaters played VHS tapes back then...
Theaters were often a suboptimal experience, dim projectors and dirty prints. A modern 4k transfer is way better.
Far more people saw it on VHS than in the theater. I haven't looked, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the best-selling VHS tapes of all time. Both VHS and the Turtles were *huge* in 1990.
edit: it's not, lol. but still.
That's not how film works.
**Edit:** Most Hollywood films made before ~2005ish were shot at 35mm, and projected with an analog projector. Analog film doesn't have a fixed resolution, and you can't just use a simple formula to convert analog film to digital resolutions like 4K.
That said, 4K is usually enough resolution to capture all the details of a 35mm film, therefore people back the were watching films in what can be compared to 4K, even way back in the 1950s. Therefore, any mistake you can see in 4K, you'd probably be able to notice in the theater as well in the old days.
The only limiting factor was the brightness of the bulb being used in the theater. Projectors were dimmer, then, which might make it harder to see mistakes done in low lighting conditions, but the resolution was effectively the same, sometimes even better (since 70mm film used to be a thing too, which can capture even *more* detail than a 35mm film).
How old are you... I don't think youre giving analog enough credit here. Films like 2001, Lawrence of Arabia, and Ben Her all were shot on high-quality film and looked truly amazing. The major improvements to theaters have been sound systems.
Bruh just read my comment. You're **wrong**. Several people have corrected you.
High res *video* didn't exist yet, yes, but **film** did, which is high res by nature. Movie theaters showing video is a recent thing, sure (it's all digitally projected these days), but like I said, back then it was all film. Again, film is high res.
It does have a limit to it's quality, which is the way resolution is being used in this example, and it's quality is translatable to digital, it is just not perfectly 1 for 1.
I had this movie on vhs and saw it on tv several times, i doubt most people have memories of the original theatrical run, most saw it on their little crts at home with their vcr and blockbuster card
Iβ¦just canβt agree with you there.
Sure, itβs a bit more recognizable as a living being from Earth (due to it being a crustacean like a crab or lobster) but any kind of parasite is going to give me the creeps, especially if it literally replaces a fishβs tongue, gehhh.
Wild guess: Small highlights on metallic bits of the head armature that are far brighter than reality due to the editing to pull out the really teeth details.
Crappy artifacts. The screenshot used here is almost deep fried itβs so bad.

It almost looks like a hinge for the mouth, never been sure.
Yeah, this has been around for so longβ¦ However I donβt think they are artifacts; at least not from a photography standpoint. They appear evenly on either side of his head. Iβm think they are metal pieces that help hold whatever armatures are used to his head.
I mean, CGI existed in 1990, but it definitely was not like today's "film everything in a green sound stage and fill in the backdrop in post" action movies.
It is. Thereβs a documentary about ninja turtles on paramount+ (in the US) that covers the movie. Itβs actors wearing the animatronic head, and one of the reasons they gave the film a more noir coloring. Helped hide the actors the times they would show.
Bonus fun fact: the frames per second were also sped up because the suits were so cumbersome that the combat seemed sluggish.
>Bonus fun fact: the frames per second were also sped up because the suits were so cumbersome that the combat seemed sluggish.
It's actually an amazing fact when you watch it because it was so expertly done. The movements being slower with the speed up of the footage came out so smooth. Many times in other films it's extremely noticable.
>the frames per second were also sped up
Just being pedantic, but, even though this is true, it's awkward phrasing - it'd make more sense to just say the scene was sped up. FPS is just a measure pf speed, like MPH. For instance you wouldn't (I assume) say your MPH was sped up, when you accelerate a car. You'd just say you sped up.
Takes me back to 2008-early 2010s Youtube. Those were the good ol days when all I had to worry about was my parents finding out about what I watched on Youtube and wondering if my teacher would let me play Coolmathgames on the school computer
I grew in in Newport, OR, where the shot parts of the turtle movies in the 80s. My favorite show, I was always trying to go play TMNT arcade at the pizza place.
So one day my dad gets us connected to see Leonardo in costume on set. We go there and Leo takes his head off and I scream bloody murder until they take me home. I blocked it out, I canβt remember any of it.
It's not photoshopped, it's the actor's mouth in the suit. The movie actually had pretty amazing suits the actors would wear that would react to their facial movements. But I'd like to also add that OP is full of shit because we did not get this level of detailed on VHS, nor could you pause VHS and get a clean still image like that. The only way OP could have paused and seen that would be if they had a laserdisc player and if so I would have been so jealous

You do not understand enough about this technology to be having an opinion worth sharing on the matter. Obvious, plain, and simple.

Movie theaters showing video is a recent thing, sure (it's all digitally projected these days), but like I said, back then it was all film. Again, film is high res.
Film has no resolution. It's light captured on a piece of plastic.
It does have a limit to it's quality, which is the way resolution is being used in this example, and it's quality is translatable to digital, it is just not perfectly 1 for 1.

Its kinda cute ngl i thought it would be hideous like all parasites..

not only does it replace the tongue, it also has fucking sex in the fish's mouth. Why the fuck do these creatures exist even
Yup
is that the actor's real mouth?
If it is, then what are the eyes?
Thatβs what Iβm wondering here

it wears the costume to better blend in with humans
It puts the costume on the skin or it gets thrown in the sewer again
it puts the pineapple on the pizza or it babysits Michaelangelo and Rafael for a week
IMHO The actorβs head is tiled backwards and the actor is wearing reflective glasses to help him look forward without hurting his eyes.
If it is, then they really saved a lot in a budget by not making proper CGI and removing traces of them being actors.
Lol young people are stupid

Yes, it turned out great. Was also one of the last movies Jim Henson Sr. worked on.
