Maithanet Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 41 minutes ago, Martell Spy said: There was also this scene where Tatsu beat to death one of the teenager recruits with a baseball bat, I believe. I was 13 years old when I saw the movie and it really made an impact on me. I really don't remember a scene like that (and I have seen this movie many times in my youth). There is a scene where Tatsuo is training the kids to be foot soldiers, and at one point he kicks a kid in the head who was bowing to him. But the kid is seems relatively ok afterwards, he says "yes master tetsuo" in response. Later in the film Casey Jones hits Tatsuo with a golf club in the chest hard enough to knock him through the air (which would probably be fatal). Is that what you're thinking of? Otherwise I have to wonder if there are some deleted scenes or something that didn't get into the VHS version that I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a long time and I remembered it that way for some reason. Still a lot more edgier than most things geared towards teenagers at the time. Quote The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live-action movie that came out in 1990 was a smash hit. It became the most successful independent film of all time and spawned two sequels. If you saw it, you probably remember the scene where Shredder's second-in-command, Tatsu, flies into a rage and starts brutally beating a teenage Foot soldier. Other Foot Clan members stop him before he goes too far. Originally though, this scene was much darker. Tatsu was supposed to eliminate that soldier. In the original comics, Tatsu destroyed the young man with his bare hands right then and there. The movie was going to stick with the death, but this was cut and replaced with the dialogue "You'll be alright," due to being seen as too dark for the movie's target demographic. https://www.thegamer.com/original-ninja-turtles-trivia/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Tatsuo is fucking shit up. You could even argue that the kid might die, it's not like that other teenager has any idea of whether he really would be all right or not, he's just saying that because he's still currently breathing. I doubt they have a lot of doctors in the foot clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few episodes I felt were close if not actual genius, but it definitely wasn't an entirely cohesive, story driven narrative. Like, I suppose I get it. They covered the book more or less and the author hadn't written a sequel, but the atmosphere was so fantastic greedy me wanted more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLastWolf Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Wasn't somebody saying I'm the Trailer thread that they'd watch a film called The Tomato/Tomorrow War while discussing about the Edge of Tomorrow? Wish granted. Chris Pratt in a film that should have been made on the morrow of everyday. That is, never Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I know the bourne series is not perfect ( currently re-watching Identity), but the first two films are both excellent, imo. Also, hello clive owen & walton goggins! Can people make spy movies like these again, please. To be fair, they probably do but I just haven't seen them.

Mark Antony Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I watched Boogie Nights for the first time the other day cause it was leaving HBO max. Turns out I didn’t have to watch it cause they put it on Netflix but I’m glad I did. I felt like I needed a shower after watching it but what a movie. kinda wanna check out that new Soderbergh flick No Sudden Move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 38 minutes ago, Mark Antony said: wanna check out that new Soderbergh flick No Sudden Move I watched it last night -- it's good, for lots of reasons, starting with the cast. It's beginning to look like there is A Look of the Fifties Noir that is an HBO Fifties Look, including the lighting of interior scenes. I'm thinking Perry Mason and Lovecraft Country, and now No Sudden Move. It's almost like another generation of interpretation of the films of the 50's made in the 90's, and now a 21st C's reinterpretation of the 90's films. I'm thinkin of L. A. Confidential, or Devil In A Blue Dress, for instance. Though No Sudden Move is Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
