of the cult comic book and the popular animated television
show. After prolonged exposure to radiation, four teenage
turtles--Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, and Donatello--have

large city. Under the guidance of a ninja master Splinter the
Rat and television reporter April, the Turtles embark on a
mission to run crime out of the city and battle the warlord
Shredder. Year: 1990 Director: Steve Barron Starring: Judith
Hoag, Elias Koteas, Corey Feldman

Trailer
Amazon.com: You can chalk it up
to good timing and a heavy dose of video-game synergy, but
this 1990 hit remains the box-office champ of independent
films, with a total gross of $135 million. Of course the
Turtles, who hatched as comic book characters, are also the
stars of a phenomenally successful Nintendo video game, so it
was a given that the movie would be a hit with its target
audience of rabid young video addicts. This is what comic
books fans call "the origin story," in which we learn how a
foursome of small turtles were mutated by a green radioactive
goo and turned into human-sized turtle crime fighters. Their
large rodent mentor, Splinter, teaches them to master the
martial arts. They're also gifted pop musicians, by the way
(think of them as amphibious Spice Guys), so they can rock the
house while they're cracking a crime wave with the help of
their cute friend and television reporter April O'Neil (Judith
Hoag). The script is terrible, of course, but countless
millions of children don't seem to care, as long as the
Turtles keep ordering pizza and dispensing their wisecracking
brand of justice. --Jeff Shannon
