Best Movies Of All Time?

What were they called over there? Was the theme song different as a result? I remember for my 12th birthday, I had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle theme party, I was Michelangelo 😮 😮 😮

They were Teenage Mutant "Hero" Turtles over here. Leonardo was my favourite. 😮‍💨

that's kinda dumb, dont they have ninja's in the UK? 🙄

Do they have Ninja's in America?

It was thought to be too violent a word for young kids. Which it is if you think about it.

Well I've personally never met a ninja, but I'm sure theres one somewhere. I dont think that they were too violent, as a kid I was exposed to all those 'American Ninja' movies starring Michael Dudakoff, they were ultimate cheesy! The ran in the middle to late 80's. I guess that because America is this one big melting pot, we are exposed to almost every culture, so far off ideas like ninjas are no big woop over here.

The marketing guys probably figured that "ninja" would not sound good in the ears of parents looking for toys for their little children, ninjas being cold-blooded assasins and murderers. Maybe americans are more ok with murder and death as entertainment for children, but I think the main reason for the name difference is that the toys were introduced in europe a while after the US release. Maybe there had even been some controvercy over the name in USA before the Europe release. *shrug* Anyway, I remember being quite annoyed about the whole "hero turtles" thing when I was a kid. "Ninja" sure did sound a lot cooler to me.

When I grow up, I wanna be a ninja 😮‍💨

When you grow up you might think differently. 😮‍💨

Yeah, than you want to be a Jedi 😂

I fancy being a Gungan. The have great houses.

And than you have a JarJar living next door

Cool! 😮‍💨
As long as he doesn't break anything.

So, you haven't seen TPM haven't you.

I think it would be very appropriate in AOTC if Jar Jar was killed by a ninja! 😈

When I grow up, I wanna be a kid. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll ever grow up.

best non-Star Wars flick = Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn

It's simply hilarious! If you love characters like Jar Jar or if you just like slapstick in general or if you like a good scare at night, Bruce Campbell (star of the movie, plays Ash) and Sam Raimi (director) have you covered.

P.S.: Sam's little brother, Ted, plays the Possessed Henrietta.

I think I've seen the first one.

Then you can see it again when you watch the second! Due to their little licensing mix-up...

Eh?

Due to a small licensing problem, the start of Evil Dead 2 is basically the whole of the first film compressed, and THEN they begin the sequal part of it.
