Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III
(IMDB) OT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III




Comparison between the German VHS (=UK VHS, BBFC PG) and the German DVD version by 20th Century Fox (=UK DVD, BBFC PG), both based on the respective British versions.

This time, the brave ninja turtles are brought to 16th century Japan. Not really a worthy ending for the cult phenomenon, you can see the movie was made at the end of the Turtles-boom.

There were different fighting scenes shot for part one at that time, because the presentation of martial arts weapons (especially Mikes Nunchakus) was prohibited in Great Britain. Part two has only been lightly cut, though. But for part three, some scenes in the beginning have been altered again. Now, although, the restrictions for martial arts weapons aren't as tight any more in Britain, and the nowadays available DVD releases contain the uncut versions.
