Raphael “Takes Out the Trash” in Latest Out of the Shadows Clip

As the release date for this movie gets closer, the ad campaign from Paramount reveals even more details about the film. Speaking as someone who remembers how sparse the advertisements were for the first film, this is definitely welcome news. With this latest Out of the Shadows clip, the studio has officially revealed a scene which was previously only shown during the Kid’s Choice Awards. If you missed the clip shown during that event, this is definitely going to be new material. However, if you did watch this a few months ago, the only thing that has changed is that we are now hearing the score for the film in the background.

To be honest, this has been one of my favorite clips from the film thus far. Raphael has always been a brash character who was quick to jump into action, so it’s nice to see that nothing has changed in this Out of the Shadows clip. Clearly he’s a little afraid of heights when he’s being asked to jump out of a plane, but he has no trouble jumping out of the back of a moving vehicle. There’s something about this scene that genuinely feels like an event I actually tried to pull off with my TMNT toys when I was younger, and that is definitely a fun memory.

In this Out of the Shadows clip, Raphael takes matters into his own hands and clotheslines a few baddies in style. This is exactly the kind of shellraising action that I was hoping to see in the sequel, and I’m glad to see that it will apparently be making an appearance early on in the film. According to what we know about the movie thus far from various sources, this is supposedly one of the opening sequences in Out of the Shadows.

If the filmmakers and actors are to be believed, the movie starts out with this awesome action packed moment, moves on to a plane crash in the middle, and eventually features a battle against Krang in the Technodrome. I don’t know how any self respecting fan could have a problem with that, but apparently there are still a lot of fans who refuse to see this movie. Thankfully, it would not appear that they are a part of the majority.

New Out of the Shadows Trailer Introduces the Turtles

by Justin W
written by Justin W

Just in case you forgot who the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were, Paramount has released a trailer to remind their audiences. I’m not going to lie, I think the aim of this trailer is kind of silly. I guess when you’ve already shown a bunch of trailers and TV spots for a movie, there comes a point when you run out of audiences to approach.

After all, if you’re interested in seeing this sequel, chances are that you’re familiar with the TMNT franchise. A new Out of the Shadows trailer isn’t necessarily going to sell anyone who is already familiar with the characters, so why not go for the audience that doesn’t know as much about them? But then, does that audience really even exist? Are there people out there who can afford a movie ticket that don’t know who the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are? For crying out loud, why was this trailer even made?

Well, despite the fact that the intro to this new Out of the Shadows trailer was somewhat unnecessary, there is a lot of footage here that some of the fans might not have seen yet. Most of the footage was already revealed either in other trailers, TV spots or previews, but it could still be new if you haven’t seen it yet. For instance, that shot with Raph taking out the two guys on motorcycles? That’s pretty awesome. The nunchaku that come out of the Tartaruga vehicle used by the turtles are also really cool – even if Mikey does destroy them. Oh, and did anyone else see Donnie controlling the trajectory of that plane with his bo staff? That was kind of amazing.

All in all, there are a few new scenes on display in this new Out of the Shadows trailer, but it’s mostly content that we’ve already seen. If you’re not sold on the movie yet, I doubt this will convince you to check it out. That being said, I’ve seen more of a positive response to this movie than I did for the first film that Platinum Dunes produced. Something tells me that Out of the Shadows is going to be a run away hit at the box office this year, and I can’t wait to check it out in exactly one month. That’s right, it’s only one month from the official release date of this movie as of today! How radical is that?

New Out of the Shadows TV Spot Shows Off Tartaruga

by Justin W
written by Justin W

Another day, another Out of the Shadows TV spot, right? Well, yes and no. This isn’t just any average TV spot – this might be one of the most creative and hilarious TV spots I’ve ever seen. Instead of going the traditional route and just showing us a bunch of shorter clips that we’ve already seen from previous Out of the Shadows trailers, this time they decided to focus on just one aspect of the movie in a humorous parody commercial. If you’ve ever seen a commercial advertising a pickup truck before, the lingo and voice they use to advertise the movie in this spot will probably sound very familiar.

That’s right, the latest Tartaruga TV spot takes a closer look at the new party van that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are using to get around. The second that loud, booming voice starts talking about all of the special features you’ll find on the latest iteration of the party wagon, it’s clear that this commercial is referencing all of the car and truck commercials we have seen in the United States over the past few decades. Let’s just say that I laughed quite a bit when they listed off the “Manhole Cover Cannon” as a feature on the Tartaruga.

Yep, it would appear that this is the name they are sticking with for the Ninja Turtles’ new ride. I’m sure a lot of fans would prefer that they stick to the source material and call it something like the “party van” or the “party wagon,” but this vehicle is so far removed from that concept that it would seem a bit silly to keep that name. Heck, the Targaruga looks a lot closer to the Shellraiser we’ve seen in Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series than it does to anything we saw in the original animated series or the 90s movies.

I think my favorite line from this ad is “Who needs horse power when you have Turtle Power?” Even if you’re a die hard fan who is nostalgic for the old days of the TMNT franchise, that reference has got to hit a note. I don’t think I can say this was the best Out of the Shadows TV spot thus far, but it was definitely the most original. That being said, I’m sure you can expect a few more spots to hit the web and the airwaves over the next few weeks. Paramount is making a huge push for this movie, so it’s safe to say that the ad blitz has only just begun.

What did you think? Are you sold on getting the Tartaruga? Okay, so that’s not going to happen, but would you get one if you could? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section or via facebook/twitter!

New Out of the Shadows TV Spots Reveal Plot Details

by Justin W
written by Justin W

We’ve already seen quite a few details leaked in previous Out of the Shadows trailers, but these might be even more informative and interesting. Yes, we already know about the Technodrome, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady – but how much do we really know about Casey Jones? Well, thanks to one of these Out of the Shadows TV spots, we’ve just learned an important detail about his background in the film.

The first TV spot starts off with a monologue from Jones telling us about how his life changed thanks to the turtles. It would appear that he’s one of the security guards driving the truck that we’ve already seen in previous trailers.

Based on previous trailers, you’d think that his first meeting with the turtles was in that back alley when he defends April O’Neil from the foot clan. According to these latest Out of the Shadows TV spots, that isn’t necessarily the case – although there’s no way to confirm whether or not he actually saw the turtles at that point.

Needless to say, this is a fairly significant plot detail that has been revealed in a simple 30 second teaser for the film. The more we learn about this sequel, the more excited I get!

Throughout the rest of this Out of the Shadows TV spot, we see a lot more jokes on display than we had seen in previous clips. The jokes keep coming in the second spot, as we hear Michelangelo making quips about preparing for the “ouch” while performing a ridiculously dangerous stunt.

Later in the teaser, Mikey is seen trying to shove three slices of pizza into his mouth all at once – and that couldn’t possibly be more Mikey. For those who were worried that this wouldn’t be very entertaining, I think it’s safe to say that there is nothing to fear. These are the fun loving, butt-kicking Ninja Turtles that you remember from your childhood.

Latest Out of the Shadows Trailer Reveals Retromutagen

by Justin W
written by Justin W

Paramount has just released their latest trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, and it features some pretty familiar plot concepts. If you’ve spent any time at all watching the original animated series or the new series from Nickelodeon, chances are that you’ll be familiar with retromutagen. Imagine our surprise when this trailer revealed not only the existence of something like retromutagen in the film, but also a potential conflict over whether or not the turtles should use the substance on themselves.

This is straight out of TMNT lore, so I can’t imagine that there will be too many fans crying foul. That being said, it would appear that their motivation in relation to the retromutagen may be different in the new movie. When the mysterious goo made its first appearance in the original animated series, the Ninja Turtles were more concerned with returning their master to his former self than they were with becoming humans. In this Out of the Shadows trailer, it would appear that the turtles are thinking more about themselves than they are about their master.

When we fast forward to the Nickelodeon series, the turtles are still more focused on using retromutagen for all the right reasons rather than trying to use it on themselves. Heck, if they did use it on themselves, they would probably just turn back into normal turtles. In this Out of the Shadows trailer, we see Donnie using the substance on his hand, which causes his hand to become more human. However, the first film indicated that the Ninja Turtles were once normal turtles, so this would imply a potential deviation from the original concept for retromutagen.

It would seem that although we’re going to see some references to classic moments in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, this sequel has taken a lot of liberties with the source material. Personally, I don’t have a problem with this, because we’ve seen a lot of changes to the TMNT formula over the past three decades and a lot of them have been pretty darn awesome. In this case, I’m very curious to see what they do with the concept of retromutagen, and I’m glad to see it making an appearance in the latest Out of the Shadows trailer.
