The original “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” trilogy is getting a 4K & Blu-ray Limited Edition releases from Arrow in December
Talk about this release on Slack
After some not so subtle teasing from Arrow, it’s not been confirmed that Arrow will be bringing us this new 4K release of the original 3 live action Ninja Turtles films. As usual the films will arrive with plenty of new and archive features, and pre-orders are live right now.
The extras are still TBC, but pre-orders are live now. We’ll add more links as we get them
You may be interested to know that this release features work from graphic designer Scott Saslow, who we talked to on a recent episode of The Collectors Commentary podcast – in fact this is the secret upcoming release he discusses on the show. You can listen to that here.
Pre-order:
A shell-shocking saga of mutants, martial arts and New York mayhem, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy brought comic book grit, practical effects wizardry and pizza-fuelled fun to a generation of moviegoers, helping turn four sewer-dwelling brothers into global pop culture icons.
Launching in 1990 with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, director Steve Barron’s gritty, high-energy adaptation of the underground comic became a box office phenomenon, fusing martial arts action, streetwise humour and the groundbreaking animatronics of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. The 1991 sequel The Secret of the Ooze is an irresistibly fun second slice: a deep-dive into the turtles’ origins where new mutant foes Tokka and Rahzar are thrown in the mix… double the stakes, double the pizza! Rounding out the trilogy, 1993’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III sends the heroes in a half shell back to feudal Japan in a time-travel adventure full of samurai showdowns, ancient legends and comic chaos.
Restored in glorious 4K and packed with extras, this radical set celebrates the legacy of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael in one of the most iconic franchises of the era, blending innovative effects, comic-book heart and early ’90s attitude.
