I missed the first full week of first grade in the hospital sick with pneumonia, and received this as a gift while I was there...Probably watched it 50 times before I was discharged to go home. Classic.
I do believe that this is the movie I have watched the most in my life. I love it so much! It brings me back to being a kid every time making it a comfort watch for me. I'd give anything to get my VHS copy back especially since I acquired a working VCR! For now, I have to pop in the Blu-ray!
Check out your local thrift stores. We have a place called Knoxville area Rescue ministries (Karm). They have quite a few stores and people take their unused items where KARM sells them locally. I’ve picked up quite a few old Disney VHS tapes there. Just a $1 usually! I bet you’ll find TMNT.
Never seen more TMNTs than a cursory glance through one of the old comic books ... although there was - once upon a time - an old Teenage Mutant Tina Turners meme that prompted a chuckle.
I dont know why I never saw you guys on twitter. I was forever trying to talk retro games into the void over there. It’s nice to actually find the retro gaming community and that you guys are so chill and legit appreciate what I do.
Check for any local/mom and pop reseller stores. We have a Zia Records where I live, and they have a decent size of used VHS tapes. I just bought Cool Runnings and Better of Dead on VHS a few weeks ago
I went to an old timey movie theater as a kid to see this movie and waited outside in a line for three hours to get in. Once I got inside, they had the lobby crammed full of toys and figures you could buy. Thanks for making me dig that memory up.
I love the fight scene at the end! Best movie fight scene ever! 4 turtles each take a turn at Shredder. But even with all their strength and power, it is the elderly Master that takes on and defeats Shredder 🙋♂️
I saw this post, ran to my closet to dig out a dusty old box, took a picture, and then accidentally closed the app before I could share the picture. I didn't realize I had shared the post before it closed!

The hero of this story is the mom (mine) that drove my 13 year old ass to the theater seven times.
