Deleted Scenes from the 1990 film

Okay, I found this on Ninja Pizza: It's a script to the original ending of TMNT that was cut out (why? idk? I like it.)

EXT. SKYSCRAPER – DAY – ESTABLISHING

a steel and glass monolith to the genius of man.

INT. PUBLISHER’S OFFICE – DAY

covered with posters of comic book heroes, many of them rather outlandish.

April sits in a chair before a huge executive desk, behind which sits a man wearing an immaculate business suit and glasses.

He’s looking through a folder containing April’s sketches of the Turtles.

Finally, he closes the folder.

PUBLISHER
These are very interesting, Miss
O’Neil. But as the basis for a
comic book, I’m afraid the idea is
just too...
(searching for the right word)
... farfetched.

April
can’t help but laugh, not only for the irony, but because she can see
something that he can’t through the window behind him:

THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

stuck to the outside of the window and reacting with unrestrained exasperations.

And as Michaelangelo slaps his forehead, falling from his position

CUT TO:

EXT. THE BUILDING – DAY

and the ledge of the floor beneath the other Turtles, where one of Michaelangelo’s hands hangs on.

He pulls himself up to the ledge on his elbows, cradles his chin, and then turn, LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO CAMERA:

MICHAELANGELO
"Farfetched..."

And off his final look of incredulity

FADE OUT:

THE END

and the pictures with it:
<--- Danny and April at the comic publisher (which is Mirage)

<---I guess she's pitching the idea..she does look cute here.

<our fave boys listening in


I guess this is when Mikey loses his footing...or handing, one of those

More to come. Give your thoughts on this. Believe me, there's tons of these deleted scenes out here..some of them pretty moving that would've made the film even better

lol i cant believe you found these XD. this was a good sceen and it should have been added.

EXT. A FIELD – DAY

bordered
by an old, split-rail fence. Leonardo sits on a top rail and Donatello
stands by while Michaelangelo and Raphael spar with each other.

LEONARDO
Okay, hold it, hold it...

Michaelangelo and Raphael lower their weapons, breathing heavily.

RAPHAEL
What?

LEONARDO
Stop trying to overpower each
other. Remember what Splinter
said.

MICHAELANGELO
This is the way we always fight.

RAPHAEL
Yeah, jeez, pretty soon he’s gonna
start askin’ us to snatch pebbles
from his hand.

LEONARDO
All right, look...

He
hops down off the fence and stands between them, rotating his mask
until his eyes are covered. He then draws his katana and assumes a
ready stance.

LEONARDO
Okay, now attack me. All three
of you. At once.

RAPHAEL
(aw, come on)
Leo, what’re you doin’?

DONATELLO
You’ll get hurt.

Leo lashes out with the flat of his katana and whacks Raphael on the arm.

LEONARDO
Come on...

RAPHAEL
Hey! Knock it off, Leo, that
hurt.

LEONARDO
(another whack)
Come on.

RAPHAEL
Leo, I’m warnin’ you...

LEONARDO
(another; harder)
Come on...!

That did it. Raphael draws a sai and jumps at his blindfolded brother.

But Leo’s katana strikes first, disarming Raphael.

He
stands a moment, stunned, then draws his other said and motions for
this [sic] two brothers to join him. All three come at Leo in a
tentative attack.

One-two-three – and Leo’s repulsed all their thrusts.

They
set themselves one more time. This is it. The acid test. And when they
attack this time, there’s nothing tentative about it.

One-two-three – and Leo is still standing, untouched.

MICHAELANGELO
Rad-ical!

DONATELLO
Ec-lec-tic!

While Michaelangelo gives Donatello a look, Leo turns to Raphael, who still hasn’t said anything. Then finally:

RAPHAEL
Just call me “Grasshopper” ...

And as the Turtles realize the potential of their discovery

SERIES OF SHOTS

UNDER MUSIC:


EXT. OUTSIDE THE BARN – DAY

Raphael,
mask turned, is trying to learn the new technique. But he’s not quite
getting it. The Turtles easily penetrate his defense, which amounts to
nothing more than flailing around like a blind man. Donatello then
steps up to try, neatly repelling a few blows with his own mask turned,
and excited about his success. Raphael grumbles.

EXT. FARMHOUSE – DAY

Casey
and April pull up in the old pickup truck, grocery bags in the rear.
Casey gets out and moves around to the passenger side, where April is
having trouble with her door. But when Casey manages to open it, she
slides over to the driver’s side and exits there, rather than accept
his help. She begins unloading groceries while Casey slams the door and
rolls his eyes in an expression of, “I can’t believe how pigheaded this
girl is.”

EXT. A CLEARING IN THE WOODS – DAY

Now it’s
Michaelangelo with mask turned, and he’s doing a pretty good job
against his brothers. Raphael then steps in to try again, but when he
still has trouble, he begins lifting his mask to peek, drawing “fouls”
from his brothers while he pleads his innocence.

INT. KITCHEN – EVENING

Casey
chops some vegetables by the kitchen sink with a katana while April
enters, her clothing and face smeared with dirt from an obvious stint
of heavy labor. She heads straight for a drawer and removes a tube of
ointment, trying to rub it into her back and neck. When Casey attempts
to help, she jerks away, but he’s had enough of this. He forcefully
sits her down in a chair and begins massaging her back and shoulders.
Reluctant at first, April quickly acquiesces and is soon enjoying it. A
lot. And so is Casey.

THE TURTLES ENTER

after a workout,
and the massage stops. But Michaelangelo indicates a sore shoulder of
his own, and when April holds up the ointment as if to ask if he’d like
a rub, he shakes his head and opens another drawer, removing a bottle
and holding it up for her to read. It’s a bottle of “Turtle Wax.” April
reacts with a good-natured groan, and the other Turtles pat Mike on the
shell – he’s back making jokes again.


INT. BARN – NIGHT

CLOSE ON – A PAIR OF FAST-MOVING SAIS.

They
whip about, blocking a number of blows as THE SHOT WIDENS TO REVEAL
RAPHAEL, mask turned, training with his brothers inside the barn. And
this time, he’s got it.

INT. ATTIC – NIGHT

April leads
Casey into the room and sits down next to him on some old boxes. She
begins to show him her Turtle sketches. He’s impressed – until he sees
the one of himself in a beanie cap, which April tries to yank away. He
gets it back, though, and after a moment of indecision, he and April
share a laugh.


EXT. FIELD – LATE IN THE DAY

The
Turtles continue to train intensely, playing a game of “Ninja hot
potato” in which an apple is tossed about, and whoever gets it must
defend against the other three while taking a bite and then passing it
on. And when the apple finally reaches Leonardo, he blocks a few
thrusts, takes the last bite, and then hurls the core as far as he can.
The game is over, and with it

THE MUSIC CONCLUDES

as the Turtles gather together, sweating and breathing heavily. They look at each other without saying a word.

And as they begin to nod in silent agreement

[cut to April and Casey on the porch]

pics:
<--- Donnie's a cowboy casanova

<---- training


I guess this is the inspiration for that scene in "The Shredder Strikes Back, Part One"

The Turtles are vouge-ing? vouging? vougeing? Idk, they're doing that Maddonna thing.

<-- black and white.

Told you there's a ton of these. I'm not even halfway done

wow these are cool ^__^ i love them XD they should have been added to the movie, most deffinetly.

I particularly like Donatello's hat.

I haven't seen the movie, but the cut out scenes look cool.

Some of them were on the german DVD the released this march (20! years -.-). If anybody's interested I could upload them on youtube. As soon as I found out how to rip these things. xD
