Remembering #TMNT - Which Came Out 36 Years Ago Today! #comichistory #teenagemutantninjaturtles

This is 1990's 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles', the first in a live action movie franchise based off the wildly popular comic and cartoon series of the same name. Directed by famed music video director Steve Barron, the script was based mainly on the early TMTN comics, including the stories of the turtles' origins, rooftop battle, sojourn to the farmhouse, and battle with Shredder. Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, who launched the comic in he early 80's under their own publishing company, Mirage comics, the film was a culmination of the popularity of both the gritty comic series and the more kid-friendly cartoon. It starred Judith Hoag as April O'Neil, Elias Koteas as Casey Jones and James Saito as The Shredder, plus a blink-and-you'll miss it young Sam Rockwell credited as 'Head Thug'. The film had a very small budget and went on to gross $202 Million at the box office, or roughly $505 Million today.
